this is total bullshit. she is not anti-jew. she is anti-aipac, which is a REPUBLICAN-oriented pro-likud lobby group. and the democratic party is not the bigoted party. this is total lie. the rumor is also untrue and beneath any nonliar to repeat. islam is a religion, and as such is no more or less poisonous than any other religion. what a horribly bigoted, untrue post! you should be ashamed of yourself.

Omar was elected by the people of her Congressional district. Her election was legitimate.

"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", are not "rights" under the US Constitution.
Those words appear in the Declaration of Independence.

Islam is no different than all other religions. NONE of them have any place in government, nor should they have ANY influence on the formation of public policy.

Being anti-Islamic is no different than being anti-semitic.

If you're going to condemn one, you must condemn them ALL.

Spreading unsubstantiated rumors and making blatantly false accusations is the best you can do???

I'm no expert on Canadian law, but here in the U.S. if someone wins a fair election to a seat in the House they are deserving of that seat.

The fact that you disagree with the words that you put in Ilhan Omar's mouth does not change that.

She is not ant-Jew. She is anti-AIPAC. I have a number of Jewish friends who disagree with AIPAC. An even larger number of them strongly disagree with the policies of the criminal currently serving as Prime Minister of Israel. That does not make any of them anti-Jew.

BTW, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is something that Muslims are just as entitled to as you are. Deal with it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: with what's just happened in New Zealand, this is exactly the sort of islamophobic bullshit that needs to be called out.

To my knowledge Omar has only voiced opposition to Israeli government policies. This does not make her anti-Semitic. There is plenty in Israeli policy to criticize.

Might I suggest a Gouda to go with your whine.

Have another drink of Kool-Aid and adjust your foil hat.

That's the great thing about being an atheist. I often refer to the Christians, Muslims and jews as the three headed beast. I don't put any of them on a pedestal. I have no problem with her criticizing the policies of Israel.

Bullshit. Not appreciating the Isreali State’s open racism, bigotry, genocide and theft is no anti- semitism. She, as I, wouldnt care if martians live in Isreal. Get off your tripe.

Too much Kool-Aid man. Try some Kombucha for a change. ??✌

Wow! I'm no fan of any organized religion, but I also detest discrimination in any form. It's not anti-semitic to criticize Isreal. What they've done, and are systematically doing to the Palestinian people is horrifying. I have nothing but disgust for Isreal, not because it's a Jewish nation, but due to their actions and policies.

Calling out the influence of AIPAC and holding the government of Israel accountable for violations of international law, ongoing crimes against humanity, and when it suits them mass murder, is something we should applaud. The government of Israel is not "Jews", it is some of the people in Israel. Just as I am not a Trumpie.

Calling out a group that buys congress and senate critters and makes sure we funnel 82 million a day to Isreal is not being anti jew but being accurate. I'll stand with her on about 90 percent of what she says, which is 89.5 of my so-called representation!

All religion is a poison, Judaism gets no special reprieve. And the U.S preferential treatment of Israel needs to end. Im all for the devote going after each other. Good times all around. =/

My only comment...

you've been standing too close to the microwave getting your news.

She is not 'anti-jew'. She is anti-zionist. As am I, as is my Jewish ex husband and most of the Jewish people I know.

If you're truly freedom-loving, why not move to Israel, where there is no Constitution, no civil marriage, no civil divorce, and orthodox Jewish religious law is the basis for almost everything?

Amazing how so few actually have listened to what Omar actually said. Omar is a patriot.

Yet: look how many are attempting to silence her by misrepresenting her words. Just becuase this "trope" has been around for years does not mean it is wrong.

Her remarks are shared by millions of people who are informed, not just reactionary.

The jewish lobby DOES have disproportionate influence on US foreign policy. Just witness how this group is now being defended by hundreds in congress resulting in a significant waste of time, because they turned this into a racial issue.

This is not racial. This is not about Islam. This is about reality of the 70 year ongoing invasion, using my tax dollars to further the aims of a religious ideology.. That is unconstitutional.

Aniti-zionist is not anti-jewish.

Anti-israel is not anti-jewish.

To conflate these concepts is concede special privileges to the group who is yelling the loudest about how they are being repressed.

Just ask some of the orthodox jews who continue to oppose and protest the invasion.

The israeli government is in non-compliance with international law. Hence, they are criminals. They use my tax dollars to continue their religionist invasion. Those who have agreed to take my tax dollars to provide these enemies of western principles are traitors to the constitution. The israelis exist by invasion. They destroy historic properties. Evict on the basis believing an invisible supreme critter gave them the right to kill and maim and destroy. These people are one of the most egregious in attacking western values of freedom and equality.

Elevating the interests of a foreign power (e.g., israeli government) above the constitutional rights of the Citizens of the United States is treason.

Omar is a US patriot.

"Jews" is not the State of Israel as it is today! And WTH are we giving them obscene amounts of money? Their kids get Free college..do yours?

Ridiculous accusations. Another unsubstantiated rant..

As a women of Palestinian heritage, you can't blame for being a little biased. Just like you can't blame blacks for being a little jaded. She is a freshman congress women, she apologized (more than Steven King or Trump ever did). Let's see how she comports herself going forward before we make final judgement.

The rabid right spent two years crying, "Give Trump a second chance, afterall he's not a politician!" Look to your house as Trump's sins are much more aggregious before casting stones (pun intended). Im truth, Trumpism is the poison to our freedom loving society.

Religion is retarded nobody here will argue that. However what Illan Omar has been saying has little to do with religion but with abuse and progress.

I see you have no problem exercising your right to an opinion but the people she represents do not quite amazing how that works.

People are =/= to their religion

I am most definitely an infidel in that I have no belief in any god or gods. A person’s individual godview is the most basic right possible that a human being can have. I personally reject Islam, Judaism, and Christianity (among others)…but do not reject Muslims, Jews, and Christians. A person’s religion and religious culture are most predictably based on their family of origin, where they were born (geography), and when they were born (i.e. no Xians pre-Christ).

I stand with all people on the planet willing to work together as a species to live peacefully with each other and our environment. That does not change regardless of the actions of some who think their ‘godview’ justifies any number of horrible acts.

I reject those who use such acts to demonize people who are damned for nothing more than ‘guilt by association.’

Jesus wept. You go on about someone being anti-semitic, then clearly state your own anti-islam views. Hypocrite much. And she’s not anti-semitic - islam also sprung from semitic people.

Furthermore, she’s not anti-jew. She’s against the way Israel operates against a significant proportion of its residents and citizens, on the basis that they are not jews, nothing else.

Israel is poison to the lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of non-jews, muslims in particular within its territory. It steals their land, denies them a vote, walls them up, and provides no or dismal services, even though they pay tax like everyone else.

In your one-sided world, how does keeping muslims out of Congress work with a constitution that requires freedom of religion and faith? Or did you just ‘forget’ that bit, it being inconvenient and all.

As far as religion is concerned, I call a plague on all their houses.
