The Left continues to pretend that words equal violence, except for the actual incitement to violence that is in the Qur’an, which they have steadfastly refused to notice, while accusing those who have noticed of “Islamophobia” and “hatred.” Their hysteria over Trump’s criticism of Omar, and constant claim that he is inciting violence against her, is all part of their ongoing plan to shut down all those who dissent from their agenda. If criticism that never calls for violence is incitement to violence, then that cuts both ways, and Omar and all the Democrats are guilty of it. But they care nothing for consistency; they only care about manipulating enough people to make it possible for them to shut down the freedom of speech for those whom they hate.
“‘This is endangering lives’: Ilhan Omar claims spike in death threats after Trump tweet,” by William Cummings, USA Today, April 14, 2019:
Rep. Ilham [sic] Omar said death threats against her have spiked as a result of an inflammatory video that was shared by President Donald Trump on Twitter about a remark she made regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“I have experienced an increase in direct threats on my life – many directly referencing or replying to the President’s video,” she said in a statement Sunday night.
Last week, conservatives sharply criticized Omar, one of the first Muslim women ever elected to Congress, for remarks the Minnesota Democrat made at a March 23 Council on American-Islamic Relations event in Los Angeles. She said “some people did something” in reference to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Omar’s critics accused her of trivializing and minimizing the tragedy. Her defenders said those critics were ignoring the context of the speech in which she said Muslim Americans are treated as second-class citizens and have been punished collectively for the terrorist attacks committed by a small minority who share their faith.
On Friday, Trump posted a tweet reading, “WE WILL NEVER FORGET!” above a video of Omar’s remarks repeated along with ominous music, played over images of the World Trade Center engulfed in flames.
The tweet had previously been pinned as the first one on the president’s Twitter account. Although no longer the pinned tweet, it was still in his feed and the video had 10.1 million views as of 8 a.m. EDT on Monday.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she was ordering U.S. Capitol Police to conduct a “security assessment” to ensure Rep. Ilhan Omar’s safety after President Donald Trump posted an incendiary tweet about a remark Omar made regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Following the President’s tweet, I spoke with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman Omar, her family and her staff,” Pelosi said in a statement. “They will continue to monitor and address the threats she faces.”
“The President’s words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger. “President Trump must take down his disrespectful and dangerous video.”
In her statement, Omar thanked the “Capitol Police, the FBI, the House Sergeant at Arms, and the Speaker of the House for their attention to these threats.”
“Violent crimes and other acts of hate by right-wing extremists and white nationalists are on the rise in this country and around the world,” Omar said. “We can no longer ignore that they are being encouraged by the occupant of the highest office in the land.”
She concluded, “We are all Americans. This is endangering lives. It has to stop.”
On Saturday, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, a 2020 presidential candidate, called Trump’s tweet an “incitement to violence.”..

Omar needs to understand that the best response when one finds herself at the bottom of a pit of her own making is: Stop Digging. It is she who is creating the dirt storm that garners unwanted attention.
windrush48 says
Trust me …….. Omar knows EXACTLY what she is doing!
She UNLAWFULLY hold the Office of Representative – knowingly.
She is inciting ‘unrest’ among muslims – knowingly
She plays the ‘victim’ so well, though SHE is the instigator – knowingly
The one good thing that may come out of this …… think how fabulous it would be if Nancy Plastiface started wearing a burka.
Sun says
I totally agree. Omar knows very well what she is doing. She is the star on all Muslim news sites. Everything seems to be well planned.

Really. I’m in the Boston area. Just finished watching the Marathon (on tv) again. 6 years ago a couple of Omar’s Brothers in Allah — who were no more “American” than she is — killed and maimed scores of people with bombs for not being good little slaves of Allah like them and Omar. Now she’s whining about “death threats” after she made fun of the 3,000 innocents killed by more of her Muslim brothers on 9/11 and more pseudo-Americans like Pelosi and O’Rourke are finger-wagging at us and our President?
I hope Ilhan Omar trips over a prayer rug and breaks her damn neck.
Is that a “threat”? Well, since I’m “godless” and don’t expect and deities to take me up on it, I’d say that’s just a fond wish. And since she wants me dead in the name of her imaginary god, I’d call us even.

“If criticism that never calls for violence is incitement to violence, then that cuts both ways, and Omar and all the Democrats are guilty of it.”
Robert is so right! Maybe not ALL the Democrats but a big chunk of them AND the mainstream media AND of leftist bloggers and posters, never censored on social media.
that makes this claim about Trump “inciting” and “it has got to stop” so ridiculous. So absurd hypocritical.
Pres. Trump did get so much verbal abuse from so many quarters among Democratic Party, corporate media and bloggers and posters that if “his words weigh a ton” that which was hurled at him and his supporters weighed many tons.
The Dems got to understand that these verbal attacks are a two-way street now that they are in powerful positions, to be held accountable, after the midterms,
just like president Trump was for 2 years, when he had Oval Office, senate AND congress. Now dems have the power and platform of congress but also the venomous reaction.
This is about the Golden Rule: What you do not want that happens to you, don’t do it to another.
(Or: ‘WHY THEN DID YOU DO IT TO TRUMP AND CO?!).
Does the safety of Trump and family and staff mean nothing to you Dems and MSM journalists? So far it was clear you never feared violent retaliation from the government for any of your many deep insults, but now you fear the effects of the president’s tweets?!
WPM says
She will get some of her friends at the Moslem brotherhood or CAIR to stage some hate vandalism , or some “white power” symbols paint on some Mosque to keep it in the news. If someone farts in her direction she would blame it on Trump! She cannot understand pissing on murder victims graves of Islamic terrorist attacks does not give her much popularity with us non-believers ,if she cannot take constructive criticism on her anti-American remarks she is free to make them we are free to call attention to her bigoted insensitive ,supremist ,racist hate of all things not in compliance with Sharia law. The president words she stated “weigh a ton” her words stink like week old fish in the sun ,she has to realize both her and the president are entitle to use words to express themselves, she has every right to show what are real hate monger she is .All members of congress should get the protection she gets and so should the president. I hope she live to a be 100 years old loses her next election ,see Islam labeled as a supremist bigoted organization like the KKK in this country ,all in her lifetime.
Demsci says
If the Democrats, leftists, journalists and bloggers keep this verbal abuse up and THEN still denoumce their opponents as guilty when they do the same …
It gives me the thought-experiment that Trump should be declared a PROPHET and his followers members of a new religion.
That would give them the opportunity to claim that their religion is unfairly attacked and their feelings are much hurt and they feel threathened by rising “Trumpophobia”.
And ultimately they might demand equal treatment of both the prophets Mohammed and Donald, and of both their followers. So either a toning down of criticism on the Trumpists or a toning up of criticism on Muslims. Otherwise one might ask; why are Trump and the Trumpists held so much more accountable for their choices? And why Mohammed and the Muslims so much less for theirs?
Demsci says
Is this maybe because of the discrimination of lesser expectation? After all we only criticize those we think that can change.
After all we don’t think children, animals or simple people can change so we would be crazy to criticize them.
Or Else! says
“Violent crimes and other acts of hate by right-wing extremists and white nationalists are on the rise in this country and around the world,” Omar said. “We can no longer ignore that they are being encouraged by the occupant of the highest office in the land.”
==============================================================================
The supremacist goal of Islam is the same today as it has been for 1400 years.
The Left’s socialist lifeblood is “victimhood” at the hands of Judeo-Christian Euro-Caucasians and their offspring. How fortunate for Islam. It pretends to be a victim, the Left are more than happy for allies, and Islam finds protection/gains power under that rhetoric….knowing full well that Shari’ah is the goal.
Shame on the Left for not recognizing a true enemy of freedom.
This battle isn’t “white supremacy vs. people of colour”.
It’s “Islamic supremacy vs. Western democracy”….using a socialist political party as a host–which will be devoured as soon as it is no longer useful.
Jayme says
This is the card The Star and CBC have been playing for a few months even going as far to say ISLAM is not a threat well CSIS came out with a repot last week listing the top 5 threats and 3 of them are Islam.
Michael Garant says
Don’t expect CBC or the Star to report the truth, they are paid for by the libs in Ottawa, so that they can ”speak the truth to fake news” funny since they spread fake news every day. Same stuf in QUebec with ”La Presse” and all of ”capital media papers” as well as radio Canada.

Remember, “some people” are engaging in terror and you want to protect them from prosecution and prison sentences. Those “some people” are your ilk, your “brothers and sisters” and belong to the same beast from satan as you.

‘(Pelosi) concluded, “We are all Americans. This is endangering lives. It has to stop.”….(referring to President Trump’s criticism of Omar’s crass and disrespectful statements).
Endangering ‘lives’ (plural)? I thought the the only ‘life’ (singular) that was the subject of threats at this point was Omar’s! And Omar’s crass insensitivity that sparked all this was not about lives just being ‘endangered’ but about belittling an actual massacre of nearly 3,000 lives – and she didn’t seem particularly bothered that these were almost exclusively Amercian? Someone has to stop alright – and it’s NOT President Trump!”

Looking forward to the 2020 election more by the day. Frankly and ideally, the Democratic Party needs to be shredded in the upcoming election because it has replaced old fashion liberalism with modern liberalism (aka known as leftism) and is now, effectively, an enemy of America. Yes, it’s become this bad. Malevolent Omar and foolish Pelosi can serve as poster girls (gee, is this sexist?) respecting what the Democratic Party has descended into.
The Republican Party is far from perfect to be sure, but Trump is molding it more and more in his image and this is a giant positive. RINOs are on notice that more conservatives than ever are sick of them. And it would be foolish for any conservative or moderate who comprehends what has happened to the Democratic Party to vote for some Libertarian candidate. Such a vote is not just a wasted vote; it actually helps the Democratic Party.
Take for instance the 2016 Presidential election in New Hampshire. Trump missed winning that state by only some 2,800 votes and Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for President, in NH got some 31,000 votes (and Jill Stein of the Green Party got only around 6,500 votes so it is fallacious to argue that the Green Party candidate and Libertarian candidate for President canceled out each other—ditto for other states like Pennsylvania though fortunately in PA Trump prevailed despite Libertarian voters). If only around 9% of those who voted for Johnson had voted for Trump he would have won New Hampshire. Instead, Hillary won NH and you can, in part, thank Libertarian (Losertarian?) voters for this. Hopefully such foolishness will not be repeated in one state after another come 2020.
Anyway, and in conclusion, a la Cato the Elder, delenda est Pars Democritia.

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
I hope you’re right. Time will tell. But in this the new modern era of Emotive Reasoning, her status is now as a victim among being a woman and a non-white person. Her “some people did something” speech was to make all Moslems in America victims. The 9/11 Jihad mass murder was a wild success, and the nearly 3,000 people, mostly Infidels, who died were victims. But it turns out the Moslems were victimized too. Their rights as Americans were put away for vengeance. That reasoning may sell, half or more of Infidels here in American are liberals [sic] who are predisposed to buy it.

Well, a lot of prominent Democrats ( Pelosi and Bernie for instance) are sure scrambling to damage control stations to cover for Omar’s and AOC’s sorry arses. Most political advisors and pundits realize that Omar and AOC are pure poison for future Democrat races, unless it is in a district where a glass of water with a D on it could get elected..

Something about this just reminds me of A FEW GOOD MEN…..If you gave the order that Santiago was not to be touched, and your orders are always obeyed, then why was Santiago in grave danger?
If Omar is loyal to America, as American as anyone else, why would any criticism of her words endanger lives?

Yes, Pelosi. Give police protection to the vile Muslim woman that referred to the Muslim carnage that cost the lives of 3000 Americans as a mere something, and not to the thousands of victims of Muslim attacks.

A few days ago I wrote some commentary here at Jihad Watch on an article about a Muslim professor in Australia, Anne Aly. I showed with quotes from the Qur’an and other Islamic sources that the article was filled with half-truths, distortions, and outright falsehoods about Islam. Apparently someone posted her email address in the comments field here, and now there is an article in The West Australian about how poor Professor Aly has received…hate mail.
somehistory says
As Daniel Greenfield wrote, ‘ everyone in the public eye gets death threats’ Many get “hate mail” and some actually are attacked.
these moslims like omar and her ilk want everyone to think that, because they are moslim, they don’t deserve death threats or hate mail, even if others receive more or are even attacked. And they never accept any responsibility for causing anger that can lead some to make threats. Not that attacks or threats are warranted, but they are a reality.
omar said to her brothers and sisters at cair….”raise hell” and “make people uncomfortable.” Who wants to be made “uncomfortable”? No one, and some people react to others making them uncomfortable by pushing back to make the other feel the same way.
Terra Nova says
Omar, a piece of paper that you got, to enter your gastland, does not make you an American yet.

You married your brother, for which reason? Tell us and tell us more about yourself, being the self proclaimed
only hope. You are a total DISGRACE. You don’t belong in this country.

Omar, it is just SOME PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING that this time effects you. THE SOME PEOPLE YOU REFER TO ARE ALL MUSLIM, and the something was killing civilians in the name of Allah. If you as an American can not call it what it was, a terror attack on the people of America by Islamic terrorist, then you are not an American and should step down NOW.
