“Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming. May God ruin him.”
Some Arabic-speaking Christians use the word “Allah” for the God of Christianity; some (particularly the Coptic Christians of Egypt) studiously avoid doing so. For the sake of clarity, at this site I use the word “Allah” for the god of Islam and “God” for the Deity of Christianity. In any case, it is clear that Muftia Tlaib is referring to the god of Islam, and her prayer for Trump’s destruction is reminiscent of the all-too-frequently repeated Muslim prayer that Allah would destroy the Jews. There are imprecatory prayers in the Judeo-Christian tradition, but there are far less frequently used than they are in Islam.
“‘May God ruin Donald Trump’: Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother, 90, hits back at the President after row over congresswoman’s visa to Israel,” Dailymail.com, August 17, 2019 (thanks to Inexion):
Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother has blasted President Donald Trump amid a controversy over the Democrat congresswoman’s visa to visit her in Israel.
‘May Allah ruin him,’ scoffed Muftia Tlaib, 90, in Arabic in an interview in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, slamming Trump for his remark that she was lucky not to have to see her granddaughter.
Israel on Thursday barred a visit by Rashida Tlaib and fellow Democrat Ilhan Omar that it had initially said it would allow — then reversed course the next day, saying it would let Tlaib visit her family in the West Bank on humanitarian grounds.
But the congresswoman rejected the offer, saying that Israel had imposed restrictions meant to humiliate her, without specifying what the restrictions were.
On Friday night, Trump tweeted: ‘Rep. Tlaib wrote a letter to Israeli officials desperately wanting to visit her grandmother. Permission was quickly granted, whereupon Tlaib obnoxiously turned the approval down, a complete setup. The only real winner here is Tlaib’s grandmother. She doesn’t have to see her now!’
Muftia Tlaib responded: ‘Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming. May God ruin him.’
‘I was happy that she was coming, I was excited that she was coming, for her grandmother to see her,’ she continued, sitting in her garden in the village of Beit Ur Al-Fauqa.
Her son, Rashida’s uncle Bassam Tlaib, said the women had not seen each other since 2006.
He said: ‘She was going to slaughter a sheep when Rashida arrived and prepare her favorite food, stuffed vine leave [sic]…

So that’s what a lifetime of hate looks like…
ninetyninepct says
That is what tlaib is going to look like after her next five years of hate.
Just asking: What international airport would tlaib be landing at in Palestine?
JW_Reader says
Ugliness does not fall far from the Tree! May she live till November 2020 and she will witness Trump being re-elected. Though it probably does not matter to her much because it will be one infidel or the other.
Isntlam says
“Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother, 90” That must be her age. I know it’s too high to be her IQ.

Westman says
Isn’t it remarkable how living under the leftist-described “brutal occupation” leads to a long life? And did not Talaib’s uncle and grandmother tell her not to come when she couldn’t use the visit to sell BDS and politicize their “victimhood”.
The MSM hears every statement yet chooses the one that sells a propaganda instead of pointing out the lying contradictions. It didn’t take long for Tlaib to realize the MSM was hers for manipulation.
Rob says
Even given the Left’s chronic lack of self-awareness, US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s utterances on her ‘on again-off again’, humantitarian visit to the West Bank, are beyond laughable,
We are told that Tlaib’s grandmother is in her nineties. This means that when the Israelis ousted the then occupying power – Jordan, in 1967, ‘Grannie Tlaib’ would have been about 40 years of age. Given that at that time, the life expectancy of a Palestinian was 49 years the elder Tlaib was decidedly ‘elderly’.
Put simply, if Jordanian occupation had continued Tlaib senior would likely have expired around the late 1970s.
In the fifty years since 1967, Palestinian life expectancy has soared from 49, to just under 75 years.
The training opportunities available to Palestinian doctors in Israel has had a distinct bearing on that improvement.
Perhaps the Congresswoman should reflect that it is the very Israel that she vilifies, that has preserved her elderly relative to greet her on her triumphal return.
Emilie Green says
Haven’t seen each other since 2006 (13 years ago) and, given Grannie’s age, she’ll likely pass before the D from Detroit ever comes back, even though she, just last week, was “in the neighborhood.”
But, we’re told, they have such a close relationship.
Steven says
Scholars widely agree that imprecatory passages in the Christian Holy Bible, Hebrew Bible, Tanakh, Etc. are never imprecatory in total, but are contextualized within messages of hope or promised mercy and blessing. Were as in Islam, hope, promise of mercy and blessing from Allah is to kill or be killed.
Don McKellar says
Imagine the evil acts she applauded and cheered over her 90 years. Imagine what evil she contributed to in the name of allah. Of course Tlaib’s grandmother is an evil old witch.
I am an atheist, so I have no bias in saying that the Christian deity is clearly the one of “light” while allah is clearly the deity of darkness. The moon god.
Just as the “elites” and the media constantly try and claim that Allahu ahkbar means: “God is great”, when it actually means: “Allah is greater” (than your god) — the distinction between the two deities needs to be kept straight and transparent.
Westman says
Although agnostic, I share your comparison. Islam in the west is trying to be the angel of light but its foundation, Muhamnad, Quran, and Sunna, is barbaric. It must deceive continually to maintain any status with the majority of unbelievers and to keep its umma believing.
FYI says
She means al LAH,the pagan Arab god of the muslims.
allah “the BEST of deceivers” k3:54
allah, the god with TWO RIGHT HANDS AND ONE LEG
SAHIH MUSLIM 1827
{I like to think they are Jazz hands}
Along with muhammed’s flying horse and sahih muslim 1827,we can see that islam actually ridicules itself.
What sort of god has TWO RIGHT HANDS?
And if al LAH has only one leg ..how does allah do :the Hokey Cokey?
“You put your One foot in
you put your One foot out
you put your One foot in
and you shake it all about”
You do the hokey cokey
and you turn yourself around.
That’s what ii’s all about*”
And “she was going to slaughter a sheep”:of course the old dear was.
See how they love animals in islam.
muslims love slaughtering stuff:animals,Coptic Christians,Jews,Atheists..
*In Canada that would be aboot.
Angemon says
Blame your granddaughter – she’s the one who refused to go.
Ren says
“May Allah ruin muslims with hatred in their heart”
Quazgaa says
allah does just that.
And for it to have a name, it was called islam
lisa says
I wonder what would have become of her or members of her family had she said…..MAGA! GO TRUMP! Thank you for exposing that radical, hate filled bitch to the world. May Allah Bless you!
Quazgaa says
That’s simple: congresswoman Rashida Tlaib would have no reason to visit Israel.
Last but not least, do you mean Allah or God?
Georg says
Growing up Christian, basically everything that was talked about in church was essentially: Don’t be a jerk. Be considerate, etc. I just cannot imagine–especially thinking back to being a child–attending an institution regarding itself as religious whose constant refrain is: May those who don’t think like we do be destroyed. To posit that that is something other than an inculcation toward hate is mistaken at best. I don’t have a single memory of anyone from the minister to the most infrequent attendee wishing for God to harm someone. War or violence were rarely broached as topics and when they were it was in the context of their being regrettable and shameful. I know I wouldn’t let Mohammad babysit my kids, while I’d feel quite at ease with Jesus doing so.
tim gallagher says
Georg, I agree with what you say. I can say that as someone who is a Christian (maybe not a very good one) and was brought up just the way that you have indicated, that what you say is true. Christianity is the opposite of Islam. Nevertheless, I’ve got to admit that my immediate, spontaneous reaction to the foul old woman’s call for god to ruin Trump was ” Oh,go f*ck yourself, you evil old hag.” I guess I’ve run out of tolerance and niceness when it comes to Muslims and their nasty attitude long ago.
Georg says
Don’t blame you for wishing she’d cram it. The pedigree of hatred is apparent with them. This is what you get with their swashbuckling “prophet.”

Tlaib has not seen her grandmother since 2006 – thirteen years ago!! All of this phony liberal Nazi outrage is pathetic!!! Tlaib and Omar are lying progressive democrats who orchestrated this ridiculous charade and had no intentions of going to Israel. Their behavior should be enough to have them removed from congress! There are multiple investigations into both of their campaigns, address fraud, IRS fraud,
campaign fund fraud, association with terror organizations , marriage fraud, immigration fraud, etc.
isn’t that enough to get these slimy democrats fired??
They are the enemy within – allowing a terrorist organization to pay for their trip to Israel is disgusting!
Hopefully karma kicks in soon! Their behavior is disgusting and unAmerican !
Bless PM Netanyahu for protecting Israel!
Bless Pres Trump for standing with our great ally Israel!
Trump,2020. Our only hope to protect America and stop the insanity!

Mom looks exactly like Darth Sidious, Emperor of the galaxy in the Star Wars saga. Guess this makes Rep Tlaib her Darth Vader protege.

Rashida Tlaib’s media darling grandmother on Donald Trump: “May Allah ruin him”
……………………..
What a vicious old woman. That ugly picture says it all–she is no one’s sweet granny.
More:
Her son, Rashida’s uncle Bassam Tlaib, said the women had not seen each other since 2006.
He said: ‘She was going to slaughter a sheep when Rashida arrived
……………………..
Islam is always the religion of blood and death. *Ugh*.
And why hasn’t Rashida Tlaib visited her grandmother for thirteen years? Certainly, no one was stopping her for most of this time.
Quazgaa says
Rashida tlaib is uglier, despite the old woman’s wrinkles.
Quazgaa says
In other news, it was Israel who canceled Tlaib’s approval to visit, yet may allah ruin Trump, because that’s how we arabs think..
Kay says
Did I read correctly— that this woman’s son married Rashida, who is her granddaughter?
jayell says
“May Allah ruin him” – what a wonderful, all-loving God Allah is! Just like the wonderful, all-loving people who have created His image from inside their heads.

I was once in Malta in a church, and I saw a Bible in Maltese on a pulpit. I do not know Maltese, but I saw the word Allah in the text. Now, the Maltese have a native language that is related to Arabic and Hebrew, and I assumed that the word Allah was the Maltese word for God. I did not, however, assume that the Maltese worship the same God as Islam, actually the Maltese are highly Catholic, and their religion is Christian. They do not worship the same God as Islam, no matter what the word they use. Let that be a warning.
OLD GUY says
May her prayer bounce back on her. From looking at her the life of hate and living under sharia must not be too good. Her granddaughters future doesn’t look to good either. Ugly !!!
Kay L. Sellati says
Your god granny can’t do anything against our President because he is no god.
