The idea that anyone might be troubled by allegations that supporters of Israel have a higher loyalty to another country besides the U.S., and are being bribed by moneyed Jewish organizations, is absurd to Rashida Tlaib — after all, she likely believes both of those things. So to her, the uproar over Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic remarks, even though the Democrats capitulated so spectacularly to Omar, is all because of “Islamophobia.” And she says she has a lot of work to do — i.e., work to make sure that no one dares oppose anything a Muslim says or does, for fear of being tarred with this smear term.
“WATCH: Tlaib Explains Why People Reacted Negatively to Omar’s Comments And She’s Way Off,” by Beth Baumann, Townhall, March 11, 2019:
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was interviewed on “the Circus” on Showtime. During the interview, Tlaib explained to host Alex Wagner why she believes Americans are so upset by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) anti-Semitic comments.
“Rep. Omar…Why do you think people in your own party reacted so strongly to what she said?” Wagner asked.
“You know, I’m trying to figure it out. This past week I feel, and I know this would be somewhat shocking for some, but I think Islamophobia is very much among the Democratic Party as well as the Republican Party,” Tlaib said. “And I know that’s hard for people to hear, but here’s only been four members of Congress that are of Muslim faith. Three of them currently serve in this institution. More of us need to get elected but more of us need to understand as we come into this institution that I have a lot of work to do with my colleagues. ”
“So, you think Democrats have some Islamophobia, and that’s at the root of some of this consternation?” Wagner asked.
“I think our country’s struggling with it,” Tlaib replied.
Wait a minute.
When the House passed their resolution condemning religious hatred, a full on brawl broke out. Democrats didn’t want to name Omar out specifically so they muddled the resolution’s language down to include all religious groups.
What Omar said was wrong. What Omar said was anti-Semitic. Making the assumption that being pro-Israel means someone holds their allegiance to Israel over the United States is absurd. She deserves to be called out for what she said. People didn’t wake up one day and decide to attack Omar because she’s of Islamic faith. People are attacking her anti-Semitic stance, which she has repeated over and over again….
Kilfincelt says
Another Islamic Trojan Horse at least for those who don’t know what is going on.
Lydia Church says
And it’s like…. uh… noooooooo….. they were upset because of ANTI-SEMITISM!!!
Fools.
Walter Sieruk says
With this new jihadwatch article its very appropriate and fitting to reiterate that this Muslim politician Rashida Tlaib is so very anti-Jewish and anti-Israel must also be, in hidden essence, she is also very anti-American .As the former US President ,William Howard Taft, had so wisely declared in a speech :Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
Furthermore, by using such a foul terms as Rep.Rashida Tlaib did by calling the President “m….. f…..” had exposed what a very low class and totally unsophisticated as well as unintelligent woman she actually is. For a person with any class , sophistication and intelligence might strongly dislike someone but wouldn’t use such vulgarity of language as Tlaib did. She by speaking in that absence low class way has also thrown shame on the office her holds in the US government Could be that Tlaib may be trying to shows herself unfit for the office she now holds ?
jx says
Tlaib received $225,000 from jew hater Soros, and Tlaib follows a hard core anti semetic hate site: https://capitalresearch.org/article/rashida-tlaib-follows-anti-semitic-instagram-page/
Jay says
Omar, Tlaib and Ocasio should all be removed from office immediately! These 3 anti-American stooges are all under investigation for voter fraud, illegal addresses used in running for office, major misuse of campaign funds, illegal marriages, staff discrepancies, illegal citizenship status, etc etc. There is a petition in Michigan already against lying Tlaib. Not to mention their association with Cair and Farrakhan!! What more do we need to remove these imposters??! Omar’s anti Semitism should be addressed immediately! Wake up America before it’s too late!! If they were republicans they would already be gone!
God save us from this insanity !!

Tlaib: Democrats were upset by Omar’s anti-Semitic remarks because of “Islamophobia”

Um…right. It’s not as though anyone would have a problem with Jew-hatred if they didn’t irrationally dislike Islam…sarc/off
mortimer says
Jew hatred is clearly not a problem for Muslims, but criticizing Islam is a ‘CRIME’ under discriminatory Sharia law which Muslims are required to punish WITH DEATH, because only Mohammed can forgive someone who criticizes Islam and MOHAMMED IS DEAD.
This is the Islamic logic. They need to find someone to blame for whatever Muslims do, because Islam is ‘PERFECT’ and thus is above criticism.
The ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ smear is GASLIGHTING …. trying to convince mentally healthy and morally fine people that they are insane and immoral.
Because we see Muslims are GASLIGHTING US, their subterfuge will ultimately fail.
Criticizing Islam is actually a sign of MENTAL HEALTH and of MORAL UNDERSTANDING.
Terry Gain says
The problem here is a failure to communicate.
Criticizing anything about Islam or Muslims disturbs our sense of superiority and is, by definition, of course, Islamophobic and ought to be outlawed as it might otherwise Interfere with or interrupt the Conquest in progress.

Muslims communicate out of both sides of their mouth on the basis of which side is more convenient and opportunistic. Islamic ethics and ‘facts’ shift like the shifting desert sands of Arabia.

David Grisez says
Here again we have this word “Islamophobia” being used to try to suppress criticism of Islam. This matter of anti-semitism, hatred of Jewish people is an evil thing, that is why people are upset about the anti-semitic statements of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Historically anti-semitism lead to the deaths of about 6 million Jewish people in World War 2 in Nazi Germany. Also people have reason to be suspicious about these two Muslim Women in Congress. These two women are very anti-semitic, which raises suspicion about how closely they hold to the Islamic teaching that Sharia Law must be implemented in the United States
Jack Cade says
It’s “Islamophobic” to detest barbarians? Proud to say “I am guilty”!
somehistory says
Yesterday, FPM had an article with a video about how aoc was chosen by a group…whose members included members and founder of the “young turks”…to run for Congress. She “auditioned” to be a candidate funded and supported by this group. In the video, the guy who was speaking explained that this group also chose tlaib to run for Congress. Their goal is to completely change the U.S. government. They got something like 12 of those they funded, and wrote speeches, etc. for, elected. They also supported and funded omar.
Just a few minutes ago, i watched a video on Glen Beck’s site. It is truly interesting.
https://www.glennbeck.com/theblaze-tv/closer-look-who-is-rep-ilhan-omar
Everyone asking questions about who is the puppet master behind omar and tlaib should watch it. Anyone who still has questions about the crimes omar has committed, should watch the video. Beck has a lot of evidence compiled. It will explain the remarks omar has made and what we can expect from her. It also includes some quotes from her when questioned by others.
This claim by tlaib….is like putting the cart before the horse. omar said what she did. She was criticized for it. She pretended to apologize. She said more things that show her true heart and soul full of hatred and then refused to apologize. And then a resolution against….not her, not what she said…but against all “hate.”
And that means…the “phobia’ about islam is at the root of the criticizing of her for her statements.
As one of the prominent moslims said, “There is no logic in islam.” So this idiot has to try to make the cart pull the horse. The moslims act and speak their evil…people react to the evil…and the moslim claims it’s all because people have a “phobia” against them. Anyone who believes this, has a serious thinking problem.
It’s all just to put an end to the reactions from those affected by the evil or even just hear about it…unless the reaction is to surrender…to acquiesce.
Naildriver says
Muslims shouldn’t even be permitted to partake in our political process, or even work in children’s care, let alone serve as representatives in congress.
Yes, a devotee to Islam most certainly cannot be trusted to have the interests of the USA over that of Islam.
Sure, I’d agree as Pirro did, that some ‘Muslims’ have no such duel or conflicted allegiance, but that’s owing to ignorance or deliberate apostasy — and it would be true to say at present, many Muslims would like to have it both ways. This state of affairs, lie, cannot persist forever.
What they and other citizens need to come to understand is that Islam is the enemy to the USA’s form of government, and Constitution, and the majority of US citizens who do not believe in Islam.
Before we bring in more millions of Muslims, everyone should understand why Islam is this country’s enemy — as peoples from Iran to Afghanistan and other Muslim majority countries –or from the so-called non-monolith of tribes and sects, constantly scream.
Robert_k says
Ah yes, Rashida, and Jews were upset with Hitler because of Germanophobia.
lebel says
Her lack of hijab is a clear sign of Sharia adherence via sweet sweet taqqiya.
Demsci says
Good sarcasm.
OK, what if Tlaib engages in Taqqiyah? That means that she knows true Islam but keeps it secret. And that Islam is clear to Its followers if they study it well enough. Allah communicated it well 1400 years ago. The Islamic Ummah has an excellent collection of Scholars, perfectly aware of and authoritative about true and valid Islam.
But what if she speaks the truth as best she knows it? What if by an large all Muslims and Islam-apologists are reasonably honest?
Then still among the 1,6 million Muslims there are those “radicals”, heavily devoted to and steeped in Islam that are disagreeing with the moderates. This cannot be denied.
Then in practice there is big variation in interpretation of Islam’s finite, immutable most important guiding texts. And no central autority in Islam to go to for asking definitive choice which of the interpretations is true valid Islam.
Are Islams most important guiding texts still PREScriptive or just descriptive? Is hijab voluntary or ordained for all women? Islam is so multi-interpreted, thus multi-interpretable, about so many parts of its immutable texts. Thus UNclear, INcomplete, obsolete, ambiguous, contradictory, confused + confusing, not perfect.
Demsci says
Billion, not million.
lebel says
@Demsci pretty good questions all in all. I think for most Muslims, Islam is one aspect of their reality. Ethnicity, personality, culture, history, upbringing, psychology etc. all play a role in their general behavior, aspirations etc Basically like everyone else. There is no school of taqqiya where all Muslims are taught to fool the infidels. This is just stupid and leads to nonsense like Obama is a secret Muslim.
CogitoErgoSum says
Muslims may not go to school to learn how to lie to the infidels but if they study the Quran they are certainly taught within its pages to think of infidels as apes, pigs, other vile creatures or just plain dirt. The wearing of the hijab hides a woman’s hair but exposes her agreement with this way of thinking while a Muslim woman’s lack of a hijab exposes her hair but hides her agreement with this way of thinking. The way of thinking, and not the hair, is what is important and that way of thinking can be learned by studying the Quran — or else the Quran is meaningless — which I do not think Muslim’s believe or they would not call the Quran holy. No matter what Muslims may say regarding Islam or their personal beliefs, the words of the Quran are what matters because “Allah knows best.”
Jack Cade says
Adhering to German Fascism was just one aspect of an individual Nazi’s psychological make-up. Yet, we are reasonable to believe we can predict how that individual Nazi would interact with Jews. If you don’t believe what Nazis believe, do not call yourself a Nazi. Similarly for Muslims.
Demsci says
Yes, Islam is just one of the aspects of their reality, and personality. And they may have many good traits. And though we can know Islamic theory very well, and many of us do, I do want us to be nuanced and recognize good traits in them and do not want to stereotype, paint with one brush the Muslims. Which is the biggest objection we hear from Islam-apologists, very often at our slightest and most specified protests, when this is a strawman and deflection.
But Islam apologists are solely concerned with the hurt feelings and human rights of Muslims. But Islam-savvy people on JW think about the risks involved. Including the risk that in a critical situation even nice, moderate Muslims WILL join their Co-religionists against …… what? Democracy itself? The interests of the Democratic countries? Victims of oppression, crime of Muslim criminal? Etc. I think the stakes can become that high. And that too much trust in too many Muslims represents dereliction of duty to democratic system, rule of law, home-country.
When our side Paints all Muslims with a black brush, you have a point. But we have a point if YOU paint all Muslims with a white brush.
mgoldberg says
When the hell, does the idiotic impeach Trump bit end, and we get some congressman and women stand up and demand the ouster of the three stooges for their bigotry, their absurd marxist addiction and hatred of the constitution?
Seriously, this charade has gone on now and these clowns are vicious snipers and vicious haters, all of whom deserve to be thrown out of the congress…… instead we get these idiotics making statment after statement and the msm posting it and discussing it to fill the ever present 24/7 news cycle as if it all made sense. And it makes little sense…. unless these three baboons of bigotry and anti free markets, and muslim hatred for the west are allowed to peddle their wee little hate machines without getting smacked down and impeached but good.

somehistory says
Something many may not know, omar has been a “director’ of an office of cair.
And of course, cair is an arm of hamas….that is why they won’t condemn what hamas is doing in Israel…and both are part of the moslim brthrhood. The U.S. government has designated hamas a “terror organization.”
The “holy land foundation” was the conduit for funding hamas before the trial in Dallas in 2008 and cair was designated an “un-indicted co-conspirator” during that trial. Conspiracy is a crime.
A conspirator should be indicted and taken to trial. RICO is a law designed to catch and prosecute conspiracy to commit crimes by organizations. It has been used successfully against the AB. It could be used against cair and the mb. They just might be found guilty.
omar–cair
cair–hamas
hamas–moslim brotherhood
hamas–designated a terrorist org by the U.S.
moslim brotherhood–an umbrella org with many parts like hamas and groups like cair all over the world
nihad awad–founder of cair– appeared with l sarsour to ensure that the resolution didn’t say anything about omar or moslims being in the wrong for omar’s comments.

Reforming islam is much like taking the poison out of hemlock. Or a can of arsenic. Take away all the poison and what do you have? Nothing. One day, islam will not exist in any form.

This is why that resolution is dangerous. If a congress type even criticizes a bill or rule crafted by an omar or tlaib, they will simply say that “you dont like it because Im muslim, so youre an islamophobe in need of an ethics probe”.

islam is under an obligation to GAIN POWER OVER NATIONS..
“In the muslim community,the holy war is a religious duty,
because of the universalism of the muslim mission and the obligation to
CONVERT EVERYBODY to islam either by PERSUASION OR FORCE”
Ibn Khaldun
muqqadimah
“CONVERT EVERYBODY..By PERSUASION OR….FORCE”
All non-muslim nations need to know this!
From Japan to South America,from Australia to Canada,once the muslims come in they will collude with the left to gain POLITICAL influence so that they can then “CONVERT EVERYBODY TO islam either by PERSUASION OR FORCE”
THAT is the agenda behind CAIR,the muslim brotherhood,the Liars Sarsour,Tlaib,Omar etc
They WILL lie to promote islam {via taqqiya,tawriya,kitman,taysin,darura,muruna}:that is their duty.
They WILL try to trick people to convert and deceive them to join their EVIL cult.
They WILL use every means possible to gain power taking advantage of our democratic freedoms.
Remember too that since allah’s greatest enemy{Sahih Muslim vol 5 hadith # 5611}
is a man called MALIK AL AMLAK{“king of kings”..that’s Jesus Christ!!.. Revs 19 v 16}it means 3 things..
1 islam is a danger to the free world and to ALL non-muslim nations and creeds
{ALL non-muslims are classed as “kuffar”:islam permits murder of non-muslims.If you are a Hindu,Buddhist,Jew,Christain,Sikh,Jain,Atheist etc…you are classified as such..}
2 islam is not a force for good in the World{as we see daily.and for 1,400 years of murder and mayhem.}
3 islam is the religion of antiChrist;its god is allah “the best of deceivers” k3:54,its “prophet” a mass-murdering psycopath{Abu Dawud 4390} and its warped commandment-of-God violating teachings are promoted in its “holy” koranand islam preaches a Doctrine of HATRED for all non-muslims:al walaa wal baraa.
muslims themselves of course are not necessarily evil …..but islam is definitely subversive and EVIL.And here in the West{the Dar Al Harb} islam has a subversive political objective ,allied as it is with the treasonous Leftards and facilitated by naive Dhimmis{lefty Jews,misguided Christians,political morons etc,the Media}.
