Minnesota: City council in Ilhan Omar’s Congressional district drops Pledge of Allegiance to avoid offending Muslims

Jun 28, 2019 9:15 am By Robert Spencer

They didn’t mention Muslims, of course, but there is no doubt whatsoever that this was done to placate them. “In order to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community we are going to forgo saying the pledge of allegiance before every meeting,” said Councilman Tim Brausen. The newcomers who need to be welcomed in this case are overwhelmingly Muslim, so this is clearly an extreme case of Islamopandering. But no one who cannot pledge allegiance to the United States of America should even be here, much less be pandered to. This shouldn’t even be a question.

“Town eliminates Pledge of Allegiance before city council meetings,” KMOV4, June 27, 2019:

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (KMOV.com) – A long-standing tradition at city council meetings in a Minneapolis suburb will soon come to an end.

Elected leaders in St. Louis Park, Minnesota recently chose to drop the Pledge of Allegiance from their monthly meetings. The change was approved in a 5-0 vote and will take effect on July 15.

“In order to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community we are going to forgo saying the pledge of allegiance before every meeting,” said Councilman Tim Brausen….

    If the members of this diverse community aren’t willing to pledge allegiance to the flag and are offended, I too ask what are those people doing in this country? If these people are in America because they love it then they should be more than willing to pledge allegiance to our country’s flag. If not, they should leave. I also agree that this is an obvious case of pandering but why? Is so-called diversity more important to the councilmen then the showing of patriotism for the country that gave them the right to participate in a free and open society? What those councilmen did was totally illogical. Of course to the left feelings are more important than logic.

        Why focus on a single islamist individual when the US is openly protecting the biggest concentration of Al-Qaeda and ISIS in the world today which is the Idlib province of Syria where over 50.000 Al-Qaeda and ISIS fighters are concentrated.

        (…US is against Idlib operation because it will give Assad another victory…)

        Says James Jeffrey, the U.S. envoy to Syria. More of this below:

          No where in the article you linked does it say there are 50,000 Al-Qaeda and or ISIS fighters in that area.

          “when the US is openly protecting the biggest concentration of Al-Qaeda and ISIS in the world today which is the Idlib province of Syria where over 50.000 Al-Qaeda and ISIS fighters are concentrated.”

          “More of this below:”

          Of course, the StormFront -linked, pro-Assad, site you linked to says nothing of what you claim. It does mention the fear of creating another wage of refugees. Millions of them. But I suspect you’d love to see them all marching to European shores, wouldn’t you? Just yesterday we had a news report about a gang-rape of a German woman – well, I’d hardly consider an 18-year-old as an adult, both physically and mentally – directed by a Syrian man. You’d love to see more of that, wouldn’t you?

          Except if the jihadis are of a certain religious persuasion – I’ve never seen you criticizing anything done by shias. That includes the child-murdering Hezbollah and the islamic Republic of Iran, for whom you routinely cover up persecutions of Christians and other religious minorities…

          Your concern is with hating the west and the “evil joos” in Israel . You said many times the west should be destroyed by Jihadist, that Israel and America created Jihadist groups (with no proof or cause), you post links like the one above that do not even with their lies ,do not back your lies ,there is no mention in the article about 50,000 Al-Qaeda or ISIS fighters or even 50,000 American troops, or 50,000 boy scouts. Many of the posters here condemn Jihadist attacks that happen in Russia or Eastern Europe none here to my knowledge call or post here joyfully when Jihadist attacks happen in Russia or Russian “friendly”countries .Russia has it own Jihadist problem ,and with Russian leaders appeasing Moslems , and more Moslems raising to higher ranks in the military and government there they will have greater problems in the future .The high birth rate and of Moslems in Russia and high immigration of educated non-Moslem Russians to the west(how come no one wants to immigrate into the great blessed Russia?) the problems will get greater in the next couple of decades . I am no over joyed or wish this on those people of Russia. Just like I do not like seeing the people in Germany, England and France suffering under their leaders lunatic inspired policy of replacing good ,hardworking ,law abiding people with blood lusting ,death giving, cult following mad children of Satan.

    Patriotism has been weaponized? That’s rich.

    Ask devout Muslims if they’d be patriotic to a Sharia-run country. Of course they would. “….with liberty and justice for all Muslims….”

    Muslims complain that they are not “integrated’ into the larger society. But they do everything they can to prevent such integration. If they find saying the Pledge of Allegiance too much to bear, what is the nature of their relationship to the country they have been allowed to settle in, and receive so many benefits from? If they cant pledge allegiance to the United States, then to what do they pledge their allegiance? Islam,of course, which allows for no other allegiances.

      Hugh Fitzgerald this is a vital subject and shows how far the betrayal of America has gone. They drop the Oath of Allegiance to accomodate to Islam. In America. The home of the American Constitution.

      The Islamists like Omar and Tlaib I understand perfectly.

      But I find it hard to know where these betrayers have come from.

      I suppose from many sources one of which is the Church, or Churches, from a left, from such as Bush and his “religion of peace” statement on 9.11, and from Obama 8 years.

    Over hundreds of years a huge number of patriotic Americans from diverse backgrounds pledged allegiance to the flag and then gave up their lives defending the USA so this guy could spout his 21st century ignorance.

    However, I really don’t want a guy like that reciting our pledge anyway. The pledge and the flag deserve better.

    Land of opportunity–to make this country just like the one you left.

    And, as a concesion to your cultural sensibities, you’re WELCOME to maintain your allegience to Somalia and Islamic law (no pledge of allegience to our ‘filthy country’, here).

    Public floggings, stonings and punitive amputations at ‘New Mosque Square’ after each Friday sermon.

    Halal lunches for ALL public school students.

    And FGM clinics, too!

    Forget that E pluribus unum crap. You’re special! And so welcome here.

    How many times must the Islamic scholars tell us, “NO POLITICAL SYSTEM OR MATERIAL POWER should put hindrances in the way of preaching Islam. It should leave every individual free to except or reject it, and if someone wants to accept it, it should not prevent him or fight against him. IF SOMEONE DOES THIS, THEN IT IS THE DUTY OF ISLAM TO FIGHT HIM UNTIL EITHER HE IS KILLED OR UNTIL HE DECLARES HIS SUBMISSION”.

    “LA ilaha I’ll Allah”. —- There is no deity except God—-“Wa ashhadu anna Muhammadar Rasul Allah”.—“AND I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God”.

    “Concerning the polytheists, and the hypocrites, it was commanded that jihad be declared against them and that they be treated harshly”.

    Spinoza said,” In a free state every man may think what he likes, and say what he thinks”.

My great grandparents, great relatives, grandparents and grand relatives that came here to become the U.S. They were not ashamed of their home countries, Poland, Hungary, Germany, but made the personal decision to be U.S.

    If the pledge is offensive to people migrating here, as has been noted in the other posts, go away. The U.S. is not made strong by diversity. The U. S. has been made strong by being a melting pot. This group needs to be proud to say the pledge so that immigrants are reminded of what country that have entered.. This group also needs to be reminded of where they are living. Apparently.

    “In order to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community we are going to forgo saying the pledge of allegiance before every meeting,” said Councilman Tim Brausen….”

    All but unbelievable, why would anyone with true allegiance to the U.S. be offended at saying our pledge of allegiance?

    As Spencer touched on, who would be offended at saying the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America except one who holds allegiance to another nation?

    As in one who holds allegiance to the Nation of Muhammad.

    Thus, just basic Islam [tenets and teaching] in practice:

    (OpposingIslam Series: Khalid Masood Chapter Five: The sword promised to “Allah’s Messenger”: Section I)

    ………………….

    “….Allah allowed Muhammad’s Ummah to reach the eastern and western parts of the world and gave dominance to his religion and Law over all other religions and laws…. as long as the day and night succeed each other….”

    (Ibn Kathir, Tafsir, Vol. 2, P. 139.)

    ………………

    “It is He Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it superior over all religions even though the idolators [sic] hate (it).” [9:33]

    ………………………………..

    Islam is the Religion That will dominate over all other Religions

    …………………………….

    to make it (Islam) superior over all religions,” It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said,

    “Allah made the eastern and western parts of the earth draw near for me [to see], and the rule of my Ummah will extend as far as I saw.” [Muslim.]

    For those of you not familiar with Minnesota geography, St. Louis Park was long recognized as the “Jewish” suburb of Minneapolis – at least from the 1960s-80s, maybe something like Skokie is to Chicago or Ocean Parkway is to Brooklyn. Interesting that the local political class is catering to Allah’s finest – evidently more in common with Karl Marx / Rosa Luxemberg than those whom they would claim to represent.

    Here’s the Pledge of Allegiance, for any who may not be familiar:

    “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

    It is typically said with one hand over the heart, facing the flag. Occasionally “under God” is dropped.

    How can any patriotic American find this offensive?

      An Evangelical christian steeped in the Bible might take issue with making an oath any oath , given that Jesus forbade such. Or dislike pledging allegiance to a nation given that the citizenship of Christians is in heaven not any nation and that confusing good citizenship with patriotism is mistaken for patriotism might be idolatry. Or that a pledge to a nation is attempting to serve two masters when Christ said not only that it was forbidden but outright impossible. Consider the story of the good Samaritan, Samaritans and Jews hated each other and both might have regarded such a character as this as a traitor for daring to help such scum as that. . also consider what the Bible says about the nations, all are at enmity to God (Psalm 2). and finally given that Jesus said strait is the gate and narrow the way and FEW there are who find it, there can be no such thing as a christian nation for most who name Christ as lord are simply not born again, for merely assenting to a doctrine no more makes a person a christian than living in a garage makes you a car..

      I am only doing with the Bible what Mr Spencer does to the Qu’ran, telling you what it says.

      given this America is not under God. No nation is; and i for one deplore the hypocrisy of invoking the Holy name of Christ and God in the public square precisely because no one lives like it therefore the confession is not honest

      and don’t get me started on what the Bible says about military spending, which trusts in chariots and horses and not the living God

      It is all in the Bible, an infinitely more important book than the Qu’ran

        With all respect, Steve, I don’t see Evangelical Christians demanding that the Pledge of Allegiance be dropped.

    Why would an American not want to recite the AMERICAN pledge of allegiance? Traitors? Making TRAITORS feel at home ???

    Why not ship the traitors to a Devil’s Island?

    If you want to look at the bright side of it (or am i simply being mischievous?) let us consider that exempting Muslims from this pledge is a tacit admission that the God of the Christians is not the God of the Muslims, even when Muslims and the muslim fancying liberal crowd try to say He is. After all if they really were the same then the pledge would be no problem /”‘

    Jehovah’s Witnesses, who consider themselves Christian whether or not others do, abstain from saying the pledge. if a Witness child is in school where the pledge is said, he/she stands quietly while others say it.
    There is no attempt to try to get the class not to say it, nor to influence other students. Adult Witnesses do not run for political office.

    This is in keeping with what Jesus commanded in the Bible…(others who follow Christ may understand the verses differently.) They point to the fact that Naaman, in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) wanted to know if he could still fulfill his duties to the Serian king under whom he served. One of his duties was to accompany the king into the place where the king bowed down to his god…who was not the same God that Naaman now decided to worship along with the Jews, due to the fact he had been healed of his leprosy by God. He asked that God forgive him for going in and bowing with the king in that he was not doing it for worship and Elisha said to proceed. (2 Kings 5; Luke 4: 27)

    However, other nations, such as the Romans, have used the flag as a symbol of worship, just as Nebuchadnezzer did with the statue on the Plains of Dura in the days of Daniel. Daniel and the other three young men did not bow to the statue.

    Unlike moslims who have stated their goal of overturning the laws of the land, replacing the Constitution with their unlawful, evil and unholy code of barbaric behavior, even making the statement that they will
    “destroy the miserable house from within” .. Jehovah’s Witnesses have no intention to do those things. They abide by the laws of the land, pay taxes, etc. and do not attempt to subvert or change the government to lone of their liking. But unlike this MN city situation, they had to have a Supreme Court say they had the right not to say the pledge or stand for the anthem.

    This is not about patriotism, or offending someone, this is all about the Muslim end goal of Jihad, and people like the St. Louis Park commission are playing right Into thier hands!

    Next they will challenge you on wearing your cross or allowing it to be exposed as it to offends them, following that will be our Flag, as it represents what America stands for as a Judea-Christian nation, and that also offends them.

    City. By city, county by county, state by state, they are making their move and challenging America!

    They will take us down without ever firing a shot, this is the ultimate goal and they don’t care how long it takes, they are fighting Allah’s battle.
    Next will be Sharia Law

    Thank our God I will be gone before this comes to fruition, but God help our children & grandchildren!

    You folks on the commission need to study the Qur’an and Sharia law before passing the totally ignorant rules/laws.

    The people who attend commission meetings must stand up at everyone and recite the pledge, if it offends a Muslim, they have the right to leave the building, they are still the minority!

    It’s your future think about it, your ignorance in the Islamic movement is appalling! Look at the countries they come from, is this how you want your children to live some day? Muslims have been trying to convert the world to Islam and Sharia law for 1600 years, they are not going to stop, it is mandated in the Qur’an.

    Wake up! Look around you, see what is happening, they have this year 2019 embedded themselves into every controlling factor of our lives from the School Board to the US Congress, and it is going to get worse till they attain the majority in these organization and can then invoke their wishes!

      John Nelson says,

      “They will take us down without ever firing a shot, this is the ultimate goal and they don’t care how long it takes…”

      They are certainly trying, no question about that. And the Islamic fundamentalists measure time with a calendar rather than a stopwatch.

      Whether or not they ultimately will succeed is unknown at this time. With strong conservative leadership, the United States has the ability to prevail. With leftist/Marxist/globalist leadership, the United States will go the way of Western Europe.

    Clearly, the measure to stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance was in support of Ilhan Omar. Without saying it, the city council members have gathered, Omar would be offended any support for America, even as she represents the United States in Congress.

    The clause that forbids foreign born persons from becoming President becomes more important with Ilhan Omar.

    The actions of this city council go further than typical moves to remove all the Christmas lights, because Muslims “might” be offended, the removal of the Pledge goes to a question of loyalty.

    Wonder if Omar will denounce the move? Won’t hold my breath!!

  41. E T says

    Jun 29, 2019 at 2:29 pm

    Omar offends many, she should be removed. Shari’ah law does not supersede US law and never will no matter how many times the Muslim Brotherhood hoods say it will. Don’t vote for Muslims.

  42. E T says

    Jun 29, 2019 at 2:45 pm

    SHari’ah law says “Mosque and state are not separate”. For human life, there is only one true system, and that is Islam, all other systems are jahiliyyah. There is ONLY LAW WHICH OUGHT TO BE FOLLOWED, and that is the Shari’ah from God, anything else is mere emotionalism and impulsiveness.” Don’t vote for a Muslim.

  43. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Jun 29, 2019 at 5:49 pm

    They will replace the Pledge of Allegiance with the Shahada (there is no god but allah, and Muhammad is his Messenger – la ilahah il allah; Muhammad rasul allah) and the takbir (“Allah is greater than your stuff” – aka “Allah Akhbar!”) and maybe even pledge allegiance to ISIS, too!

    This woman should be forced to relinquish her US citizenship and deported back to Somalia. She hates us very much and this is just the beginning of the end of our glorious country if we don’t get together and fight back our inner enemies. Obama brought this country down to its knees and his now new disciples will carry on with his legacy. (Destroying America) Folks, the time is ticking and if we don’t take action right now, they will little by little take our freedom away to the point there will be nothing but famine and desolation. If you don’t know what communism is all about all you have to do is take a look at Cuba and Venezuela. Believe me folks, these people won’t stop hurting our nation unless they all once get stopped and terminated for good.
