Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Cory Booker defends Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic statements, accuses critics of “Islamophobia”

Apr 25, 2019 2:52 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

At the “She the People” presidential forum in Houston, Cory Booker defended Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s “anti-Semitic comments about AIPAC,” stating that “the criticisms of Congresswoman Omar, what Donald Trump has been saying about her is reprehensible, it is trafficking in Islamophobia.”

“Islamophobia” is nothing more than a buzzword used to beat down critics. It has become the fastest way to silence real dialogue and discussion about the global jihad. If you criticize hateful and violent Islamic doctrine, which jihadis refer to as their justification for murder and myriad other abuses and atrocities, you’re branded “Islamophobic” and “racist,” even though most of these atrocities are committed against visible minorities and women — a fact Democrats do not care about even amid their manipulation of racism and sexism charges to court votes.

Those who have called out the anti-Semitic words of Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and have shed light on her alliance with Hamas-linked CAIR stand accused by Booker of  “trafficking in Islamophobia.” Identity politics is in full swing among Democrats. It’s their primary playing card, and they will continue to play it even if it means aiding the jihad by defending those who ally with Muslim Brotherhood interests and maintaining their own alliance with degenerates like Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan sent a message to Omar about her disingenuous apology for her anti-Semitic comment: “Sweetheart, don’t do that….Pardon me for calling you sweetheart, but you do have a sweet heart. You sure are using it to shake the government up, but you have nothing to apologize for.” Booker agrees.

“Booker Defends Omar: Criticism of Her Is ‘Reprehensible,’ ‘Trafficking in Islamophobia,’” by Pam Key, Breitbart, April 24, 2019:

Wednesday at the “She the People” presidential forum in Houston, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) defended Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) anti-Semitic comments about AIPAC.

The moderator asked, “My question is about Ilhan Omar. She was recently critical of the outside influence of AIPAC in determining U.S. foreign policy, including funding of Israel. Subsequently, she has received condemnation from the President and members of her own party, as well as death threats. What will you do as president to protect the right of courageous women of color to criticize U.S. policy even when directed at allies?”

Booker answered, “Thank you for your question. The criticisms of Congresswoman Omar, what Donald Trump has been saying about her is reprehensible, it is trafficking in Islamophobia,

    Sen. Booker has a right to his opinion. But voters in New Jersey and the rest of America may remember his defense of Omar and react accordingly. Omar fellow travels with Muslim Brotherhood Front CAIR and has made provocative anti-American and anti-Semitic statements. Her color is no defense. She is not a descendant of African American slaves. Booker, with his elite educational credentials, should be aware of all that.

    What would he do to protect the rights of all people to criticize all ideas and all policies? The answer seems to be that no one has the right to criticize a Muslim woman when she says something — let’s just call free speech Islamophobia and move on. Now that is what I call reprehensible.

    Please look at Canada right now things are so out of control we have well known reporters calling for a complete ban on any speech/protests etc from the right.

    I’ll meet your ‘JUDAEOPHOBIA’ and your ANTI-SEMITISM and raise you ‘WHITE SUPREMACISM’ and ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ !!

    (Slogan of Islam: ‘It isn’t racism or bigotry when WE do it.’)

    MESSAGE TO Sen. Cory Booker : KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAMIC *ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES* IS THE PATHWAY TO LIBERATION FROM ISLAMIC DISINFORMATION.

    CORY BOOKER … HYPOCRITE … Death threat prompts increased security at Booker’s NJ residence: report

    YOU don’t need police to guard YOU against terrorists, but Cory Booker uses GOVERNMENT PAID POLICE to guard him against terrorists.

    Let’s see how far he’ll go to defend the dear girl.
    If he becomes the 2020 Democrat challenger, he could ‘cover all the bases’ by picking her–a Muslim woman of color–as his running mate.

    “From Palestine to Mexico all the walls have got to go”

    Sure….in Fantasy Land…. in a world where everybody gets along fine and there are no terrorists

    I’ll bet he doesn’t leave the front door of his house open at night………
    {Doors are like walls:they serve a purpose which is SECURITY.Nodody would seriously say “the front doors have got to go”}

    The one with the T–shirt that says “palestine is a feminist/queer/refugee/racial Justice issue”?

    ehm……:shouldn’t she be told about
    islam’s persecution of Gays,its violent antisemitism,its racism,its misogyny…..?

    It is as if it is “Kismet” that Sweethearts Omar, Booker and Farrakhan have met….

    How enamored with Islam they are !

    Certainly the classic musical production does well in showcasing the slave bizarres
    and the atrocious punishments meted out by Islam :

    The antisemitism doesn’t make us phobic, it makes us nauseated. We are tired of Islamonausea. We are sick of the pogroms against Jews by Muslims from common ummah, Imams, National OIC leaders, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.

    No religion currently does more evil or speaks more evil in the name of a diety than Islam. We don’t buy that bit about those who read the Quran and Hadith, then carry out the directives, as not being “real Muslims”. It’s the “peaceful” Muslims who are ignoring the demands ofv Islam’s scriptures.

    Cory Booker is an idiot! He has had a lobotomy and no one told him! What an embarrassment he is to
    everything the USA stands for! He needs to shut up – we already know what a fool he is !

    Cory Booker defends Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic statements, accuses critics of “Islamophobia”
    ………………

    Disgusting–as though opposing the hatred of Jews and sneering at the victims of 9/11 is “Islamophobic”–unless Cory Booker is acknowledging that all Muslims hate Jews and are pro-Jihad.

    And here is Cory Booker falsely claiming that most terror attacks in the US have actually been “white supremacists” targeting Muslims:

    It is a shame that Cory Booker is so ignorant of the truth.
    One way to stop Muslim’s in Parliament is repeal all Muslim’s Citizenship, on the basis that the Quran exhorts Muslim’s not to assimilate.
    Those calling themselves Muslim’s and are in Parliament are disobeying the teachings of Allah in the Quran – i.e. not to be friends with the infidel!
    Are Muslims guilty of lying if the have pledged allegiance to America – because true Muslim’s are only to give allegiance to Islam & Allah – therefore have they given false testimony???

    Educate those around you. Once you read the Hadiths in the Quran it all begins to make sense.

    Although her criticisms of AIPAC may be accurate, seems hypocritical of her to ally with CAIR, which is simply the Muslim equivalent wannabee.

    Corey Booker is a political hack. I still can’t believe that people in NJ elected him to the US Senate. He does not belong in the White House.

      He failed to turn Newark around after getting elected as mayor there, then the people elected him to the senate. What is the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, that,s what the people who voted this pandering idiot into office are.

    Islam + phobia..? An irrational fear (phobia) of Islam? I think we can agree that Islam generates very rational fear given the demonstrated extreme violence of Muslims. Farrakhan, Booker and Omar are Mohammedan and anti-Kafir, not just anti-Semitic. They hate all Kafirs (non-Muslims). It is up to us Kafirs to remove these vile creatures from political office before they can do serious damage to our Republic.

  24. Giaour says

    Apr 27, 2019 at 9:05 am

    A phobia is an irrational fear, like fear of open spaces. Islam is evil. It is totally rational to fear Islam and those who practice it. That being said, Ilhan Omar is not to be feared but to be disgraced.
