Expect many more such demonstrations of power in the coming years.
“Tlaib: ‘I Hope You Realize Just the Opportunity Here That Allah Has Given Us to Show the Power of Muslims in Georgia,’” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, December 14, 2020:
(CNSNews.com) – Muslim leaders, including Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), expressed the hope and expectation on Sunday that Muslim voters would be a deciding factor in the pivotal Senate runoff election in the state of Georgia early next month. The early voting period begins on Monday.
Participating in an online “vote-a-thon” co-hosted by the Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Georgia Muslim Voter Project, Tlaib said: “I hope that you realize just the opportunity here that Allah has given us to show the power of Muslims in Georgia.”
“I want people to be like, oh my God, I didn’t even know Muslims are in Georgia,” she said. “Exactly! Because we’re going to show them in droves of numbers.”
“I want to, mash’allah [what Allah has willed] be able to say, ‘Look at the voting in these precincts and guess what? It was the Muslim vote that delivered Georgia,’ ” Tlaib said.
MediavineOmar said Muslim voters in Georgia had played a big part in delivering the result on November 3 that necessitated the runoff, and voiced the hope that the same would apply on January 5.
“I do hope that when the election is decided on January 5, and people are able to analyze who came out and voted, we will hear that the Muslims in Georgia were a big part of making the right decision in this historic election,” she said.
Omar and Tlaib in 2018 became the first two Muslim women to be elected to the U.S. Congress.
In next month’s runoff, Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are fighting off challenges from Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock respectively. The outcome will determine control of the Senate for the next two years at least.
Another participant in the livestreamed event on Sunday was Palestinian American activist and Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour.
“You, the Muslim community in Georgia, by yourselves, can literally swing this entire election and send two Democrats to the U.S. Senate, which makes Kamala Harris the deciding vote,” she said. “And you can actually alleviate harm and suffering on millions of immigrants in this country, particularly on the issue of immigration reform.”
“Let history be made, and let the story be told: On January 5, 2021, it is the Muslim American community, the votes from the Muslim American community in Georgia, that literally helped us win back that Senate and put us back on the path towards winning justice for our community,” Sarsour said….
Scott says
If Muslims become a deciding vote ANYWHERE in this country…we’re doomed.
Check Burry says
Im in UK and I am very sad for the USA, that there are so many there who can take power in small pieces. The seem to want to only aid the immigrants, which is not right.
gravenimage says
The same is happening in Britain, as well, I’m afraid…
Check Burry says
We have had the same taking in small parts of power, rules, laws by the eu for 40 years, and they still want to control us, we will end up leaving with or without the deal, and till subject to their laws in some areas, ie defense procurement, if we leave on WTO rules we can limit tenders for defense equipment to UK companies only, yes price might be higher but there will be wealth creation & more jobs if we make our own gear. It seems to me we will leave either way and it will be BREXIT IN NAME ONLY, ANOTHER EXAMPLE BEING STILL IN THE EU ARREST WARRANT SCHEME, OR SCAM, WHERE THEY CAN EXTRADITE YOU, jail you for however long it takes to gather any evidence, as its napoleon law, not habius corpus. If we leave we leave, to be in charge of our existing laws and any new ones MADE IN THE UK. End of.
Neil FRank says
With Biden & Harris they will. Democrats HATE America and they want it destroyed. And ALL Republicans along with it!
underbed cat says
Is J. Biden under investigation? His son was used and was given access to hide his interest in business with China/ Ukraine/ Russia and may have been under investigation for 2 years..? It makes you wonder if the family found the China golden goose buffet that lays golden eggs. Strange how well that was kept under wraps. during the election, but the mail in ballots scheme worked and the mosques ptiched in to defeat a common a enemy of freedom and subvert constitutional election laws. It is even more frightening that media, tech protection came to his aid, so unverified voters ballots could slam four states to protect itself. The mosques were voting centers involved in the election to bring votes forward for a man clueless about the Quranic warfare, sharia laws and misidenification of a political group with terror ties, and never researched what he would call “hate speech” and find facts not fantasy of deception.
Rod says
Seems the rot has spread even to the Supreme Court. Perhaps the Republican judges Trump selected were actually undercover Democrats. You can’t trust anybody these days, can you? I’m even beginning to wonder about Mitch.
Eli says
Kamala Harris has already said she would be with Omar to support Palestine against Israel. Christians and Americans in general, should take note, that another opposing force besides Communism is progressing.They don’t want to coincide in peace, they want to dominate.
butch wilcox says
So true. That is why we should kick islam out of America!
Rob says
Thankyou Barry Obama for bringing identity politics back to the USA.
Infidel says
Like I suggested earlier, someone should ask Ilhan or Rashida what they think about… and read them the teachings of Elijah Mohammed or Wallace Fard Mohammed, and ask them whether they subscribe to them. And if they don’t, which of them is unislamic?
Westman says
Yes, Omar and Tlaib have shown us what Muslims can do; such as misusing campaign funds, short-circuiting immigration requirements, betraying a husband, and talking potty-mouth around a child. If this represents Islam, then Islam has chosen representatives that will further erode CAIR’s attempt to garner more acceptance for Islam. US Muslims, in their own interest, should insist on higher-quality representatives.

Tlaib: ‘I hope that you realize the opportunity that Allah has given us to show the power of Muslims in Georgia’
……………..
Just ludicrous–Muslims (thankfully) make up much under 1% of the population in Georgia:
https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/state/georgia/
Infidel says
And the bulk of them are NOI. It should be pointed out to them that Ilhan and Rashida would think of them as heretics. If they disbelieve that, they should bring those question up at their rally – which islam is the real islam – sunni or NOI?
gravenimage says
Also true, Infidel. But orthodox Muslims are happy to claim NOI when they want to inflate Muslim numbers.
infidel says
These three Trojans are making merry under Biden.. Expect them to unleash the max damage on the USA in the next 4 years.
Dario says
That is all they are, Trojan horses, cuckoo’s eggs, taking inch by inch. And I do not like to, but I have to agree with you, they will inflict maximum damage.
Eleanor says
Be assured those three vile broom jockies will already be sitting around stirring their witches brew and casting their evil spells on the unsuspecting American public.
Rod says
Perhaps the power of the Christian god in the USA is demonstrated by the 300,000 plus deaths to date from Covid, and the death rate of 939 per million population, one of the worst in the world. (The rate in Sweden is 782, Norway 75.)
A comment drawing attention to the number of Muslims eager to exercise their democratic voting rights in Georgia is pretty small beer by comparison. In fact, why is it worthy of mention at all?
Would Robert Spencer get so excited about black Americans making similar statements. Oh, sorry. He quite possibly would. Only fear of the charge of racism would restrain him. But when it comes to Muslims, the gloves are off, common sense out the window.
A racist by any other name smells just as foul.
Giacomo Latta says
So we are all racists again or just Robert Spencer? He is not so stupid that he does not know that Islam is not a race, unlike you who have somehow missed his nearly daily statement that Islam is not a race. I repeat my question to you, chronic halfwit: just what are the physical characteristics of someone of the muslim race? Also, what is a synonym for ”racist” in your very small book? When are you going to realize you are a mental pygmy?
Westman says
Where did you learn math, Rod? Your statistics are completely wrong in addition to being based on unreliable reporting of covid infections.
Let’s first show how absurd is your claim of 782 Swedish deaths per 1 million:
John Hopkins: Sweden, 367,120 infections, 7,993 deaths.
Deaths per million = 1,000,000/367,120 X 7,993 = 21,772 or, done another way:
Sweden Death Rate as percentage = 7993/367,120 X 100 = 2.1172%
.021772 Death rate X 1,000,000 population = 21,772, check. QED
US Death Rate percentage = 311,230/17,243,580 X 100 = 1.8049%
US Death Rate per million = 1,000,000 X .018049 = 18,049.
Even more interesting is those Utah Mormons only have a death rate of 0.5% because it has the youngest average age in the US. So, does that make Mormonisn a healthier religion than Islam?
Did you get an F in math, Rod?
Sweden has a higher death rate per million from Covid-19 than the US! Sweden 21,772 vs US 18,049. Most likely, the higher rate for Sweden is due to a higher average age for the nation.
Your bad assumption in addition to your bad math, Rod, is your belief that reported infections of covid are accurate. The US is likely the most honest reporting of infections and definitely the most honest in reporting deaths since all deaths must be reported by law and notice of death must be reported to the federal government by states, financial institutions, or you can’t bury them.
You seem unaware, also, that the US CDC has stated that the actual infections are 5 to 10 times higher than reported because youth tend not to have symptoms and most people simply assume they have a cold or flu and never seek medical help.
How honest do you think the covid reporting is in Iran, Iraq, France, Germany, China, etc? Governments have incentive to play down negative statistics.
The death rates derived from the John Hopkins or any website are pure bogus and that is why John Hopkins doesn’t publish the death rate. You should have realized that before jumping to unverifiable death rates. All that can honestly be said is the US death rate per 1e6 (million) is between 18,049 and 1,805, and most likely less than 3,609.
What do you call Islam’s rejection and condemnation of unbelievers, Rod? It certainly looks like the same discrimination as racism, just based on religion instead of bodily characteristics. In action, it’s real Apartheid and will cause Islam to be untrusted by non-Muslims and abandoned by many former Muslims. It is Islam’s Achilles Heel.
Rod says
Westman
USA population = 330 million.
So, if US death rate from Covid is 18,049 per million as you say, total US deaths must be
330 x 18049 = 5,956,000
The true total is considerably less, thank god (330 x 939 = 310,000 a few days ago). You may be confusing infections with population. If so, you haven’t read my post.
So let’s forget all the gratuitous insults, and be thankful that my maths are more accurate than yours.
Canada has managed to keep deaths at 372 per million population, compared to 939 in the USA, further evidence that the US performance, under the guidance of the very stable medical genius in the White House, has been somewhat lacking.
If my friends, loved ones and neighbours had been exposed to this level of stupidity and maladministration, I would be outraged.
gravenimage says
“Rod” here is desperately trying to pretend that concern over the imposition of brutal Shari’ah law is “racist”. Islam is *not* a race.
R Thomasson says
Every person, even if he or she is not living in the States, would ask: how much stupidity and ignorance are needed to say what Rashida Tlaib had expressed on SNS News on Monday, December 14. It should be a good advice, for her and Ilhan Omar to watch the video on” ‘Understanding a Political Scenario’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9TviIuXPSE Even the KGB had admitted that there is NO WAY TO SUBVERB people who reject subversion. It doesn’t matter whether the oppressing power is Hitler, Stalin or Allah. People should fight for their right to stay free. In a country as US with its Second Amendment, it will mean a tough fight against citizens who are heavily armed. Second: it wouldn’t be wrong for Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and the whole CAIR bunch, to know that Georgia was a southern Confederation State where slavery was part of life – as in the movie Gone with the Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S72nI4Ex_E0 After the Civil War (1861 -1865) the black slaves were free. Though, they had to endure though conditions and Black segregation in any part of life until the ’70 and even later. They were also physically attacked by the KKK and other movements. The official segregation has vanished, but it will be stupid to think that negative feelings had wholly disappeared. It is absurd how new Third-World Americans, as Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and the CAIR gang are putting unnecessarily Goergia’s Blacks and non-whites into an hazardous situation. Their ignorance may have a high price.
PRCS says
Rashida ‘pick and choose’ Tlaib wants, mash’allah, to be able to say…
Given that her ‘guy in the sky’ also willed hijab for the women of the believers doesn’t she also WANT to wear hijab?
Westman says
I doubt she is actually religious, rather, she views Islamnas useful in garnering votes. Much like the corrupt Sharpton and Waters she needs something common to her constiuents to stay in office yet her core constituents have more commonality in religion than racial appearance. If she favors a particular physical appearance she risks losing votes. Just hearing her swear should give one a sense of her actual religiosity.
job says
she should wear one, the sour-faced angry bitch.
Westman says

OLD GUY says
The POWER of MUSLIMS that’s right it’s all they care about. How can she defend a religion that degrades her and her sisters to a value lower than a dog.

President TRUMP
give us hope.
Share it please.
underbed cat says
Trust but verify……words that strike fear into the heart of” non-infidels.” Silence infidels, don’t read our Qurans we are peaceful just ask Joe, we don’t teach muslims violence, jihad is just a struggle to bring Islam to those who resist….who offend us. Then why were jihadists terrorist marytrs on 9/11? Silence….If Biden is a Catholic Christian, could he resist, it appears he is under the influence of deception. Islam views truth about Islam as hate speech and sharia law demands no one say a word to contradict.
“The future does not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”, remember America is the largest muslim country in the world.” When I heard those statements from BHO, I knew that Is reached the White House and someone was smiling and groomed to incrementally bring sharia law to America. Always charming. Clever.
