It was a heated moment for House lawmakers as they debated legislation to monitor and fight against Islamophobia. Republican Rep Scott Perry accused Rep. Ilhan Omar of being affiliated with “terrorist organisations”.
The legislation authored by US Reps Omar and Jan Schakowsky as the Combating International Islamophobia Act calls for the US Department of State to create an office headed by a special envoy to be appointed by the president
Rep Perry said “American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay terrorist organisations that the maker of the bill is affiliated with. And by intentionally leaving the definition blank in this bill, the gentlelady and my friends on the other side of the aisle are creating an office in our state department that will likely spew anti-Semitic hatred and attack Western ideas throughout the world under the farce of protecting Islam.”
One of the bill’s co-sponsors, Rep. Janice Schakowsky of Illinois, who is Jewish, said Omar had been the subject of ‘relentless attacks and horrifying threats, not just from her fellow Americans but even within the halls of Congress.
And as a Jew myself, I see the parallel quite directly between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia – and we need to be combatting both,’ she said.
Omar has repeatedly been at the centre of anti-Muslim right-wing attacks, as progressive Democrats urge House leadership to discipline Rep Boebert, while the entire House Democratic leadership has criticised GOP leader Kevin McCarthy and other top Republicans for their “repeated failure to condemn inflammatory and bigoted rhetoric from members of their conference.”
The Omar-led bill would establish an office within the State Department, led by a presidential appointee, to monitor and report Islamophobia worldwide modelled on a similar State Department office that combats anti-Semitism globally. It cleared the chamber on party lines, 219-212, with all Democrats voting in favour and all Republicans opposing.
Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas said he supports the spirit and intent of the bill. But he raised concerns that it could empower executive branch officials to crack down on protected speech because the word “Islamophobia” isn’t defined in the legislation.
However,the legislation is modelled after legislation to create a special envoy to combat antisemitism, which Ilhan Omar supported to elevate to a cabinet-level position.
Get that Islamic woman out of our government now she is poison.
She shouldn’t have been in there to begin with. I’m an American. I was born American. My Great Granny and Great Papa was American. Can I walk in the House? Can I go to talk to Congress, Senate, the White House????? No! So why is this Somolian in our GOVERNMENT? WHY!
I so agree
I agree also its time for Omar to get her out of congressdorothy
👍
EXACTLY!!!
Just to follow up what you said not sure if fact but didn’t she marry her brother to become a citizen or something like that she’s their fraudulent fraudulently or here in America anyways.
Yes she did marry her brother, why hasn’t anything been done, who is protecting her from being deported and how did she get elected, fraud im sure just like she is, a big fraud and hates our America
Just like here in the UK, thayre infiltrating and want to rule from within. And we’re
allowing it.
I’m from the UK too Fred, I agree with you and sympathise with Amercans
She is so toxic.
If you are not an amerıcan cıtızen you should not be allowed to serve ın any part of our government. If you are not born ın the US you should not be allowed to serve ın our government. Thıs ıs a Chrıstaın natıon born on Chıstaın values and that ıs the way ıt should stay. Thıs ıs the reason our country ıs messed up too many people makıng decısıons for our country that are not natıve here.
Amen, I’m a Navajo veteran (U.S. Army) and stand firm on my faith that Jesus is Lord. I don’tcare for Allan (lol), Quran or muhammad. She belongs anywhere else but not here in my USA.
Totally agree she’s very Un-American and she does not deserve the position she’s in cuz all she’s going to do is hurt our country. And when it comes to the Jewish community you can just hear the hatred in her conversations!
That is a good question!
She is a terrorist sympathizer at Best!
She should be removed
George Carlin stated, ‘ Look at how stupid the average American is and realize over half of them are stupider than that.” Plus, many of them were illegal immigrants before, and the socialist Democrats want the downfall of America.
Well said
I don’t care what religion your claiming, your a good person or a BAD one, she is just beyond BAD, SHE IS PURE EVIL, SHE IS AN ENEMY OF THIS COUNTRY.
She should have never been able to run for office either due to her background and has the nerve to say America is a horrible country? She forgets that we took her out of a hell clothed it fed it sent it to school and we paid for it all!
Deport her NOW.
…you treasonous democrat sellouts are destroying the United States with open borders! …Omar MUST GO! …she is contrary to every premise that empowers America, just like the entire democrat party! Arrest her!
Get her out of this country. Scum
You are Absolutely right!!! She’s just another ungrateful falling angle,,and on her way to eternal danmednation,owned by Satan himself!!!! Wich is more then most demo- rats,,these days!!!! There DNA is altered to only seek,and destroy ALL that is good.

You really need to make sense when texting… I couldn’t understand any part of yours and… I can usually understand pure gibberish but… I couldn’t understand a word you texted. So…. you are either a foreign troll or you never got past the 1st grade in school, in any event you are a very ignorant person or “Bot”🇺🇲🗽🏛🇺🇲 🇺🇲TRUMP 2024 !!!!! 🇺🇲
That’s delusional what you just wrote make sense or don’t speak
Doesn’t sound like she’s going anywhere!
Disgusting behavior
The most persecuted religion in the world today is Christianity, particularly by Muslim and other authoritarian regimes. Will we get an office ti fight anti-Christianity?
The very same thing I had on my mind to ask. Anti-christian slurs, attitudes,quotes and comments are at an all time high. If Islam is to be defended via a state office, the Christianity should have one too.
Send her back.to Africa. She is not an American
And certainly not a patriot. And sure as hell doesn’t belong in any way a part iof our governong body!!!!!!
Indeed,,,, she ran from her own country and now wants to change ours
Some people could do something.
Right?
I mean, it’s what she said.
Right?
How does this woman works in congress? I had always asked that question over and over. Clearly she hate America hate Jewish people and marry her brother!!!! What other disgusting thing this women need to do to be oust of congress.????
Wonder about who is incharge of the house?
Tax evasion
Farthest thing from an American as you can get! She has NO business being in our country, let alone in our government, with all her anti-American bs and scam citizenship entry. Tell her to go back to where she came from or better yet…throw her the hell outta here!
Omar is just another cog in the Obama SpyRing. A commie islamo-nazi Democrap doing her part to destroy the People of the United States.
Even the heinously evil Chinese leadership locks them away from normal communists because the Islamic populations are insanely dangerous to everyone around them and every where they go. Out laws should be outlawed.
The people of the UK are finding this out the hard way from what I understand!
I AGREE 100%, IF IT WALKS, TALKS,LIKE A SCRODUMLESS RAT TERRIER. ALLOWED IN THE COUNTRY. FED, HEALTHCARE, SCHOOL AND THEN GIVEN THE HONOR TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE. GO HOME YOU TERRORIST AND TAKE DA SQUIDS WITH YOU. BUT I DIGRESS
I think it’s been pretty well established that Rep. Ilhan Omar is indeed connected to, or at least supportive of anti-Semitic and a terrorist organizations. It is also well known that she married her own brother to illegally subvert US immigration law and marriage under “Sharia Islamic Law” stipulates that marriages must be consummated thus making Ilhan Omar guilty of incest- a crime. This is an evil woman who is a criminal and who is under serving of any manner of respect or the courtesy of even being listened to. She should be thrown out of congress, prosecuted and punished for her crimes, and then have her citizenship revoked and be deported for her fraudulent marriage to violate US immigration law.
I am native American I see no native American rep of any kind in the house or senate why dose this woman think she should have a voice when natives don’t get her out
She is a TERRORIST in our U.S. Government
Indeed,,,, she ran from her own country and now wants to change ours
The entirety of the socialist progressive wing of the Democratic party, along with those who voted them in, need to be gone. Until we get some HONEST democrats in government, go red or be dead.
He i mean trump is killing republicans with convincing the people that the convincing is not going to help them,so that is why today 250,000.00 a day are getting Civil and the children are the worst,and you say.you are going to vote for him? Their may not be enough republicans left since the are the ones passing the virus, good luck in2024
I thought she gone , this is just an opinion, but its not good to start a friction like Ilhan, otherwise dissension and division of war will be the result.
She shouldn’t have ever been allowed in Congress from the get go. Especially after marrying her brother to get him granted citizenship.
I don’t care what religion your claiming, your a good person or a BAD one, she is just beyond BAD, SHE IS PURE EVIL, SHE IS AN ENEMY OF THIS COUNTRY.
She is a cancer to America and needs to be cut out. I don’t see how people like her can even run for are office’s in America. What is wrong with the people. Everyone wants to move to America because it is a beautiful country to live in. But they all want to change it like the sick place that they are trying to get away from.
Just saying if you don’t want to fight for the country you are in now and you want to run.
What makes them think that we want them in this country. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Goodbye!
How in the world was she ever elected to congress? that is a subject that needs to be talked about.
Anti-American values, no morals or ethics fit for any public office in this country, go back to your own shit hole country, quit trying to pollute, and attempt to reduce Our country.
Ilhmar has to go because she is a terrorist and hates this great free country and our good alliance with Israel and other Jewish friends!!!!!!!!!!!!

If USA will not take care of the problem , U.S.A will come to a DIVISION , (which now. ) and USA. will crumble to its knees , like the GREAT POWERFUL CITY BABYLON. ..Pastor Vinny.
Totally agree she’s very Un-American and she does not deserve the position she’s in cuz all she’s going to do is hurt our country. And when it comes to the Jewish community you can just hear the hatred in her conversations!
