“SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING,” REVISITED
Powerline ^ | 16 Sep 2019 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 09/16/2019 4:23:29 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Ilhan Omar appeared on Face the Nation yesterday. The host asked about her “Some people did something” description of the 9/11 attacks, which was denounced by the son of one of the victims at a commemorative service in New York last week. Specifically, the host asked Omar whether she understands why people find her “some people did something” comment offensive.

...

Yesterday, Omar repeated her view of 9/11, consistent with what she said to the CAIR group in California where the original comment was made, and with what I wrote in April. Yes, she said, the 9/11 attacks were terrible, they were an attack on all of us as Americans. But–and for Omar, everything important follows the “but”–

I think it is really important for us to make sure that we are not forgetting, right, the aftermath of what happened after 9/11. Many Americans found themselves now having their civil rights stripped from them. And so what I was speaking to was the fact that as a Muslim, not only was I suffering as an American who was attacked on that day, but the next day I woke up as my fellow Americans were now treating me as suspect.

This “stripping of civil rights” from “many Americans” is a fantasy. What on Earth is she talking about? And how exactly was she–age 18 at the time–treated as “suspect” the day after the terrorist attacks? What I remember about the days following September 11 are the frequent encomiums to Islam, from President Bush on down, as a “religion of peace.”

It would be hard to find a more privileged and coddled person than Ilhan Omar, rescued at taxpayer expense from a refugee camp in Kenya, elected to the Minnesota legislature at 34 years old and to Congress, after a single term in the legislature, at 36. And yet, for Omar, the terrorist mass murders of 2001 were all about her, and her purported victimization.

There are no safe muslims.

One never knows when they will start following the instructions and example of their prophet.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome can strike anywhere there are muslims.

The problem is a mental one. Omar is not only a follower of Islam, but is also a member apparently in good standing of the Democratic Party. That right there is as much evidence as one needs of a mental problem as one can get.

“THEY” claim Global Warming with as much evidence.

trump is irresponsibly leaving her here instead of revoking her citizenship and deporting here for her crimes.

She stands proudly as the face of muslim expansion and hatred for america and everyday he doesn’t deport her makes her stonger.

All Omar should be concerned with is getting reelected.
She should not care what the rest of us Infidels think about her.

Allah knows what is in her heart, and as long as she is furthering Islam at the expense of us Infidels she is doing what her God wants. -Tom

Sharia Law in all its permutations.....AND its slavish Muslim adherents…....advocate the overthrow of the US govt.

What we need NOW are laws, rules, regs, Constitutional amendments, executive orders…..

US laws must severely penalize any of these individuals—-—in or out of our govt-——suggesting by word or deed the implementation of Sharia Law.

Rag-headed evil Omar is the face of Islam’s invasion of America....which began on 9/11.

To advance the invasion, she made several calculated moves upon landing on our precious American soil:
<><> She became a citizen AND an eternal victim.
<><> She joined the Democrat party,
<><> She learned to speak the language of oppression.

She thoroughly understands our system (which she holds in complete contempt).

She was coached, colluding with the Muslim umlauts to whom she is in obeisance
(all of them lying in wait to make us submit to Sharia law).

She’s evil——and studied our system well——and is adept at the identity politics game.

She is using it......not for the intended purposes.....but for the Muslim terrorism invasion’s nefarious purposes.

According to her Washington Post profile, Omar wasted no time....
she “felt betrayal” immediately upon setting foot in America.


To our advantage, Muslin terrorists like Omar are inherently stupid. They never “get it.” They are not wanted here. We got their “letter of Introduction” on 9/11.

Americans DO NOT NEED NOR DO WE WANT a “Muslim Terrorist Collective” screwing around our government.

Just GTH out of our country, pronto

ON FACE THE NATION, THE CLITLESS WONDER PLAYED HER ACADEMY-AWARD VICTIMIZATION ACT ON CUE: “So 9/11 was an attack on all Americans. It was an attack on all of us, and I certainly could not understand the weight of the pain that the victims of the families of 9/11 must feel. But I think it is really important for us to make sure that we are not forgetting the aftermath of what happened after 9/11,” she said Sunday.

She added: “Many Americans found themselves now having their civil rights stripped from them; and so what I was speaking to was the fact that, as a Muslim—not only was I suffering as an American who was attacked on that day—but the next day I woke up as my fellow Americans were now treating me as a suspect.”

SPIT——all of cuckoo Muzzieland applauded that phoney act

“Go ahead, play the Muslim card, it’s all you have, ****-face.”

She’s a terrorist supporter, an American-hater, a FGM supporter,
a woman that married her brother to get around immigration laws, and income tax laws,
a married woman that paid her lover $200,000 illegally out of campaign funds,
a woman that cheered when 9/11 happened.

The TV ads every twenty minutes after 9/11 showed “I am an American” with a Lebanese firefighter and so on.

We weren’t supposed to form mobs against the terrorist types like the Americans after Pearl Harbor faced down Japanese and Germans who refused to condemn the attacks.

First dilemma for police was to find some place to save them from attacks as police broke up the many fights. Some Japanese were pulled from their cars and punched. People took Pearl Harbor hard, I have been told.

Omar should note the American people voted for a man whose middle name was Hussein (like an enemy leader Saddam Hussein) and they were not prejudiced against such a man.
Try that in any other nation on earth. Never happen.

I don’t agree. She is doing a great job of opening a lot of eyes to the dangers of allowing in more of her type.

Fantasy, lie or delusion, this is a hallmark of the Democrat politician.

my fellow Americans were now treating me as a suspect.

Okay, and from your subsequent statements and actions, it appears they were right.

Ilhan Omar is about as American as Barack Hussein Obama.
