So another thread on this. The obsession with Omar is quite amusing.

How are they defining “white”? That seems to change conveniently.

Statistics on this issue are unreliable !!!

As measured white is not a color, its a choice that can be made, skewing the statistics !!!

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.

With by far the largest Somali American population in the United States - estimates of up to 100,000 - the insular ethnic community in Minnesota offers a rich recruiting ground. Investigators told Fox News that early on, al-Shabab recruiting was almost exclusively word-of-mouth. One family connection to a contact in the terrorist group would be pulled in as a recruit, in a process that was repeated as the ranks of the al-Shabab grew.

Minnesota!
in response, ilness says we should profile white men and asks for 'compassion' for these wannabe ISIS recruits

Again what group is being trucked in by the MILLIONS?

She knew exactly what she was doing. "White male" is a dog whistle for the left. Associate anything with "white men" and it's "problematic" just for existing. Criticize any sentiment in which "white men" are the subject of derision and you are labelled as a racist or someone who "fears the truth."


Muslims often try to conflate their ideology with those that are actually immutable (sex, race, ethnicity, sexuality). I admit that it's a travesty our constitutional protections put "religion" on the same pedestal or protection as the immutable characteristics. Religion should be one step below the other protected classes. It's too easily exploited otherwise by grievance grifters like Ilhan. Religion is nothing but politics with a god complex. And it's way more exploitable than identity groups based on race or sex.
Is it not true that white men (as defined by the US govt), whether Christian or Muslim, are more prone to religious radicalization leading to terrorism? Just like black men are more likely to commit inner-city crimes?

the question posed to her was about Islamic radicalization. why are you falling all over yourself trying to give her cover for her failure to even address the question that was posed?

I believe the “she’ll be sorry” was referring to the previous point made regarding the legal troubles on her immediate horizon .... several felony charges of fraud she may be answering to very soon.

Spare me the Dem vs Rep. nonsense.
Apparently, not even her own direct statements seem to matter to the apologists, sympathizers, excuse makers and semantic con artists.

Omar is on record in her interview on Al Jazeera that Americans ought to be afraid of white men, not Muslims. If a white congress person made such remarks about brown people, the cries of outrage from the left would be heard on Mars

this is undeniable, but defenders of ilness will ignore it.

The thing is is that she's not even factually correct. FBI and other agency crimes stats don't reflect what she's saying.

She's a three'fer and no one is going to call her out on her BS.
