Don’t be what we are accused of being by the left. I have personally known Muslims, blacks and Hispanics that are more conservative and have more love for this country than just about anybody. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are as lily white as they come. It depends on the individual, not the group classification they belong to.

maybe, but she seems more level-headed than Omar and as I said, she could not be any worse than Omar

Note: "Al-Aqidi joins a large and growing field of candidates for Minnesota's 5th Congressional District seat. Already, businessman Lacy Johnson, special-education professional Danielle Stella, minister Lucia Vogel, activist Alley Waterbury, and former auto sales manager Brent Whaley are running on the Republican side of the ballot. On the Democratic side, Omar faces primary challenges from community organizer John Mason and attorney Antone Melton-Meaux."

MN politics
The DNC is throwing in a fake Republican to make sure they keep the seat.

I call her Mullah Omar. I see very little difference between her pronouncements and those of the late Mullah Omar.
Ilhan Omar is the poster child for banning “refugees” from Somalia.

I agree. One of Islam's main weapons is deception. They're all practiced liars.

There is nothing racist about anything I’ve said- Islam isn’t a race- it’s a murderous ideology- That is not to say all muslims are murderous- but it must be pointed out that in islam there is something called Taqiyya, and i do not think it wise to play with fire- As I pointed out- We’ve been deceived by our own citizens who we thought we ‘more conservative than most people we know’, and here we have a woman who belongs to a religion that thinks nothing about practicing Taqiyya-

I’m sure many many folks thought that the 9/11 weren’t a problem while they were living here in the Us and going to our schools and learning to fly-

I am not suggesting all muslims are like those folks- however- I do not think it’s a wise thing, knowing about Taqiyya, that we keep filling our governments up with muslims for the reasons I’ve stated- No more so than i would think a wise thing to keep electing Russian immigrants to our governments- or Chinese immigrants to our governments- We have seen tiem and again russian and chinese folks stealing from us- who work in sensitive areas- and i no more would not like to see more working in government regardless of how many ‘more conservative than most’ I come across in my lifetime- because of the facts I’ve discussed

Ethnicity is NOT the issue- so don’t accuse me of that- I would NOT prefer a full blooded American who converted to islam over a conservative who was Christian in government either-

Yes, I’ve seen the results of ‘fully assimilated’ ‘proud’ American muslims here before

again- excuse me if I’m leery of a religion that preaches Taqiyya to it’s converts

Exactly. I judge the individual not the group.

Exactly. I have known quite a few Muslims from various Muslim countries.

Of them all, only one was what I would call a "MINO" (Muslim In Name Only).

The rest, while appearing outwardly friendly, at their core were Muslims first and we, to them are all just infidels.

So there is a chance she would make a great congresscritter.

Only one way to find out.

Her appearance belies all the Fox bashing that is brought here by ignorant folks

Really? Read the Quran,dumbass. If she's not using taqiyya (lying),which is permissible,she's an apostate and deserves death even more than a dhimmi. (That's you.)
Islam is not compatible with freedom. Why do you think they haven't evolved over 1400 yrs like the rest of humanity? Get away from the "idiot box and educate yourself.

ALLAH IS SATAN!!
