The Hill is actively Sharia-compliant and wouldn’t dare publish anything remotely critical of jihad terror or Sharia oppression of women and others, but that’s not good enough. Apparently The Hill was not even supposed to notice that the verse Ilhan Omar quoted was Islamic, and to do so is “othering” her, even though she is quite ostentatiously Islamic and “others” herself willingly.
The establishment media is going to have to learn the new rules: As a Sharia-observant Muslim, Ilhan Omar is a victim. She is therefore never to be questioned, challenged, or contradicted. She is to be treated at all times and in all circumstances with adulatory praise. Even to note her activities in a neutral manner is “othering” and enhances her victim status, and probably makes you responsible for the New Zealand massacre. Ilhan Omar is our new master. Bow down!
“Rep. Ilhan Omar accuses The Hill of ‘otherizing’ her by mentioning she said a Muslim verse,” Twitchy, March 16, 2019:
We’re old enough to have attended school back before terms like “intersectionality” and “marginalization” had taken over the curriculum, so we didn’t see the carefully placed dog-whistle in The Hill’s tweet about Rep. Ilhan Omar reciting a Muslim verse in the aftermath of the Christchurch mass shooting. Maybe you’ll catch it.

Here’s the tweet on which The Hill was reporting:
Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. This is chilling news to wake up to. In the face of this horror, I’m mourning with, and holding our community extra close today.
We must not live in fear. I will be at Jumu’ah today and I hope others will too. Jummah Mubarak.

Now she’s accusing The Hill of “otherizing” her and other Muslims by pointing out she shared a Muslim verse.
What is a “Muslim verse”?
Why did you have a need to signal it out?
And more importantly, are Muslims not allowed to say a prayer for our dead?
This is lazy and “othering”. Do better!

First, our guess is that a Muslim verse is a verse said by Muslims, and second, where the hell did she get the idea that The Hill was suggesting that Muslims aren’t allowed to say a prayer for their dead?…

“Othering” is not a word. Nor is “otherizing.”

Omar has made herself the ‘other’ democrat. With her, it is always about Islam. I think, she forgot that she represents a constituency which has people from all faiths. And whatever happened to separation of church and state? She and Tlaib are full blown Islamists. Keith Ellison was lot more moderate. We are going to see more and more the likes of Omar!!
commonsense says
No, Ellison was just more discreet. His views in all probability dovetail with Omar’s.
mortimer says
Ellison is an American who still has feelings for his fellow Americans. But this Somali doesn’t identify with Americans, hates them as kafirs and wish to put them down and show hostility towards them ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Omar is showing the behavior of a psychopath. They punch YOU in the face and then demand YOU apologize to them.

If it wasn’t for the MSM putting her “out front” all the time she would have just faded into the background of junior congressmen/women who are seen but not heard till they’ve been around for a while. Now if Pelosi had not made the booboo of appointing her to a prestigious committee position she may have just have stayed in the “JUNIOR” but being one of the only two Muslim women in congress, which should never happened, but for non votes by non Muslims in her district and too many Muslims in her district, she would never have been elected in the first place.
Of course this is one t of the muslim movements to replace our Constitutional law with sharia law along with migration, MSM compliance along with “a political party” that has turned its back on the American way if life…
THERE ARE NOT THE DRONE OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES OVERHEAD DROPPING BOMBS ON OUR CITIES, NO GRINDING OF TANKS IN OUR STREETS, NO STOMP OF BOOTS MARCHING THROUGH OUR CITIES DRAGGING CITIZENS FROM THEIR HOMES, MURDERING, IMPRISONING OR ENSLAVING THEM .

Gaslighting, as introduced at Wikipedia:
So gaslighting is one technique of destroying a person’s psychological integrity.
eduardo odraude says
Now imagine if gaslighting is combined with terror. Then you have Islam.
mortimer says
Gaslighting + terrorism = psychopathy.
Mohammed constantly engaged in Gaslighting and demonizing his opponents and critics.
Good Muslim imitate Mohammed.
don vito says
Gaslighting + terrorism = islamopathy > psychophathy.
mortimer says
Yes, GASLIGHTING is the word for this: Slandering mentally healthy and ethically sound people by falsely claiming they are INSANE and BIGOTED.
This SLANDER of sane, decent people is A MORAL SIN (bearing false witness) and it is a crime of malicious slander. It is also deceitful … lying.
This is also PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION: a lack of self-awareness in which the patient accuses others of doing what he himself/she herself is doing.
Ilhan Omar is PROJECTING Islam’s essential teaching of AL WALAA WAL BARAA onto the dirty kufaar whom she is taught to ‘OTHER’ and actually HATE ‘for the sake of Allah’.
I hope someone will ask Ilhan Omar if she practices AL WALAA WAL BARAA … the hatred of non-Muslims ‘for the sake of Allah’??
Does Omar practice AL WALAA WAL BARAA … or has she left Islam?
Anjuli Pandavar says
Oh, and Maajid Nawaz is suddenly touchy about being “othered” as well. Must be a coincidence.

When a congress person speaks in another language (yes other language) then it is proper to translate it to all American people who don’t speak Arabic. What, she wants it to be a Secret? EVERYONE should be told a translation of what the Arabic or Italian or Spanish means when a Congress person speaks. (or tweets) WHY NOT? We already know she is Muslim. We know Pence is Evangelical. If AOC speaks Puerto Rican, would she care is someone translated? No even she would get it. Most people GET IT.
Frederick King says
Omar’s ancestors are muslim slave trades. Large scale. Somalis hunted and captured , and processed black africans for wholesale trade. Prepared virgin girls for sex slaves including FGM, and sewing up their vaginas. This raised the value. They made male eunuchs. Large scale.

Jule Bacal says
SHE WROTE IN AN-OTHER LANGUAGE. What can anyone expect. She is a Congress person! She spoke in some other language. Oh, she was not speaking to us? Only to Muslims?

Savvy Kafir says
Muslims are such whiney, cry-baby punks. How can they stand themselves? Seriously. They’re just pathetic. Always the poor, oppressed victims — even as they aggressively invade and undermine our societies. Sickening, disgusting people!
If only the general public realized how disgusting they are — and let Muslims know it — maybe they would go back to the backwards, unenlightened hell-holes they came from.

When I read about Muslims, such as Boka Harem slaughtering innocents in Africa and kidnapping Assidi women and children and using them as sex slaves and then killing them.

Rep. Ilhan Omar accuses The Hill of “othering” her by mentioning that she posted “Muslim verse”
……………….
Yes–she wants to be the “other” when it suits her.
“Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” means “we belong to Allah and to Allah we shall return”.
This is from Qur’an 2:156:
Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”
This sounds proforma–but it is followed by verses noting that this only applies to those who are “rightly guided”, which rules out all of the ‘filthy Infidels’. The verses after that are about Allah cursing and punishing non-Muslims.
It is also on several Hadith.

The witless Omar did not invent the claim of “othering”–if has been widely bandied about–where else?–on university campuses.
Here’s more on “othering”, from the Guardian:
https://www.theguardian.com/inequality/2017/nov/08/us-vs-them-the-sinister-techniques-of-othering-and-how-to-avoid-them
In it, the author suggests that instead of being concerned over any societal changes, that “An alternative response is seeing the change in demographics as positive, and regarding the apparent other as enhancing our life and who we are. This is what I refer to as ‘belonging and bridging’.”
This apparently should be the case even if the new arrivals are ravening Jihadists who want to rape and kill you and replace democracy and freedom with oppressive Shari’ah law.
Would the author say the same if the “other” were Attila the Hun’s invading barbarian hordes? Probably so…
Kay says
I was accused of “othering” simply by using the word “they”.
It’s a way to make stating a fact into something to be accused of, as if a person did something wrong.
I read through the linked opinion piece. Yes, it would advise us to make everyone belong, to see no patterns of behavior (conquest), to ignore history and government actions— as if all of us were simply individuals at the drinking fountain.

A simple solution that would prove that Omar is not an “other” and truly down with the Democrat struggle the dems could host a lgbt pride parade in Omars district. For unity, or intersectionality, or some such thing. The rest of us can just sit here and see what happens.
Wellington says
Islam has been engaging in “otherizing” for some 1400 years, often with lethal results. Thus, hypocrisy (projection too) on parade once again, courtesy of the absolutely worst religion of all time via this time by the Muslima from Minnesota.
Omar is so disgusting. Fitting, since so is her religion.
All Muslims and dhimmi apologists reading this (you out there, lebel?), know full well that as each year passes by more and more people are coming to realize what a total farce Mo’s creed is. This would include many brought up Muslim who by now know they have been had, but since death for apostasy is a key feature of the worst religion of all time, many such Muslims in name only are understandably hesitant to disassociate themselves from the curse to mankind which is Mohammedanism.

eduardo odraude says
In world history, there has been no greater “othering” force than the core texts of Islam (Qur’an, Hadith, Sira). I don’t know if Omar knows that. But it should be made clear to her in a civil and polite way at every opportunity. Why do Islamic nations generally have such terrible human rights conditions? Because of the “othering” culture of Islam, which forbids freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
To point that out about the core texts of Islam is not to “other” anyone but to present a quite reasonable view of those texts.
Muslims should be loved, but that also means politely and kindly asking them to explain specific examples of what their core texts teach, including the texts that teach totalitarianism and violence against non-Muslims. (Muslims are often not particularly aware of what is in their own texts and will not believe you until you show them specific examples. How can they not know, you ask? Because the “5 pillars” of Islam do not include knowing what the core texts say. Muslims are supposed to pray the Qur’an in the classic Arabic and less than one-fifth of Muslims worldwide understand the archaic Arabic of the Qur’an. Muslim religious leaders of course know about the totalitarian core of the Islamic texts, but the average Muslim often does not know.)
