My latest in PJ Media:
The sage and visionary Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) looked out at our unhappy land and saw just what we need to usher in a new era of healing, peace, and prosperity. And so she has made yet another modest proposal for the correction and improvement of the land that gave her refuge, and that she so clearly loves: The Blaze reported Tuesday that Omar, along with many of her most prominent Democrat Party henchmen, “are urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to establish a special envoy to combat Islamophobia.” Because clearly “Islamophobia” is the key problem America faces today, right?
Joining Omar in this ridiculous endeavor are Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois and 23 other Democrats, including Reps. Karen Bass of California, Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Ramallah, the inaptly named Adam Smith of Washington, Sara Jacobs of California, Debbie Dingell of Michigan, Judy Chu of California and Steve Cohen of Tennessee. They wrote to Blinken: “As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia as a pattern that is repeating in nearly every corner of the globe. It is past time for the United States to stand firmly in favor of religious freedom for all, and to give the global problem of Islamophobia the attention and prioritization it deserves.”
Yes, it’s a “global problem,” and indeed, the only examples of it they could come up with are from outside the United States. “In addition to state-sponsored policies of Islamophobia,” they wrote, “we have seen a disturbing rise in incidents of Islamophobic violence committed by individuals connected to larger transnational white supremacist networks, including but by no means limited to the mosque shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019 and the recent murder of a Muslim Canadian family in London, Ontario.”
The Democrats want Blinken “to specifically include anti-Muslim violence per se in next year’s annual human rights reports.”
All right. But will the human rights reports note the large number of faked anti-Muslim hate crimes? Will the human rights reports make a clear distinction between the two quite different ways the propaganda neologism “Islamophobia” is used? The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. Islamic advocacy groups and their leftist allies have been insisting for years that such analysis, too, constituted “Islamophobia.” The Democrats’ letter talks of “Islamophobic violence,” but if this “special envoy” is created, he or she will without any doubt crack down on honest discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression, supposedly in the interests of protecting innocent Muslims against vigilante attacks. The special envoy will be another agent in the Left’s escalating war against freedom of speech.
There is more. Read the rest here.

This story about a graduation speech at the Wheatley School in New York is one of the examples CAIR uses in justifying their call for an envoy.

While we are paying too much attention to the bleating of this sick woman America is taking it’s eyes off the real snake slithering through the grass.
Why are the American Marxist so hell bent on defunding, demoralizing and destroying all local law enforcement? That’s an easy one. With crime on the rise and not enough local law enforcement The Biden regime will Federalize law enforcement and the troops will move into the cities to ‘Keep the Peace, and inform the citizens American has a New Order. You and I and every other voice that has cried for freedom will be silenced. This has happened in every other captive country.

Mike says
Omar’s hate for this country spills out of here like air she exhales.
She fears western people that dislike Muslims.
Islamophobia is of Muslims own making
Muslims go around spewing hate of western ways
pushing the Koran as a life the west needs to embrace
turns off everyone
Omar you need to look in the mirror for the reasons why
James Lincoln says
Mike,
Omar could look in the mirror for the rest of her life – and still not get it…
Alfredo says
Ilhan Omar is a shameless hypocrite who bites the hand that feeds her.
Where on Earth can she a bogus refugee can go to school cheating?
Became a citizen by crooked means? Divert funds from political donations to personal benefit? Declare a former husband as a brother in order to cheat the IRS, and still claim to be victim of Islamophobia?
This bogus neologism invented by the hateful Muslim Brotherhood is designed to silence legitimate critiques.
The term itself is an obvious oxymoron because a phobia is a psyquiatric term to refer to an imaginary fear of something or someone.
Any Christian, Hindu, or any other religion living in Muslim countries lives in real fear of death at the hands of deranged and bloodthirsty Muslim mobs.
The hypocrisy of this liar is obnoxious and obscene.
She is the archetype of an internal enemy of the United States of America, the type that must be identified and discredited.
That’s why the wisecracks call her the Representative for Mogadishu.
VICTOR COWEN says
Leave her alone she is a truly sick woman.

Ilhan Omar and Other Democrat Representatives Call for Special Envoy to Combat ‘Islamophobia’
…………..
Don’t the non-Muslims members here realize that this is a call to crush any criticism of Islam? Or do they just not care? Of course, this is what Omar and her coreligionists want.
Fitna says
GI, no sadly they don’t see it. Dangerous ideas have always been smuggled in as something needed or beneficial for society. She’s packaging it as defending “freedom of religion”…who in their right mind wants to oppose such an idea?
What it really is, is the introduction of blasphemy laws. They want to put Islam beyond inquiry and question and to turn opponents of Islam into a group of criminals. Of course when there is no longer any opposition then turning the US into an Islamic state will become a straightforward matter.
The reason most people don’t see what is really happening is that firstly they don’t do their own research-most people rely on the media to educate them.
Unfortunately the media has largely censored itself from discussing Islam honestly. Not to mention politicians have been pressuring social media companies-who themselves were already protecting Islam/Muslims from criticism-to censor people even more.
So essentially you have a vast number of retards, some of them with great power and influence that are being manipulated by vast numbers of Muslims to treat Islam as untouchable and to demonize anyone that dares to question their evil ideology.
Fortunately there are still millions of us who are not fooled and are working to educate others on what is really happening. I’ve said this before, there is no greater publicity machine for Islam than Muslims themselves.
Since Muslims continue to commit massive terrorist attacks globally, since they continue to riot over cartoons and threaten nations with nuclear strikes for criticizing Mohammad and their death cult, more people wake up and realize what is truly going on and join our ranks.
The battle continues because either the elites need to wake up still or that people who oppose Islam have to become the new elites and then work to defeat this ideology. There is nothing that we can do on our own as individuals to slay this beast. It will require people in positions of power to recognize we are at war with Islam and to mobilize the West to fight back.
I’m ever-hopeful it will happen and thankfully there are a handful of politicians like Geert Wilders, Anne Marie Waters and Marine Le Pen who understand the threat. We just need more people like them in power and then they’ll fix this problem once and for all.

Grimly true, Fitna.
Fitna says
As is often the cause with religious lunatics like Omar, is that they have no sense of mirroring or self-reflection. Like mindless cattle, they act on what they know about the world.
They’re Muslim, that is normal…so when you think you are normal then people who oppose your ideology feel like a threat.
I’m sure if I was a Muslim I’d also be obsessed with ‘right wing extremists,’ basically anyone that recognizes Islam is a danger to their country and way of life.
What’s scary is that we are allowing these Muslims into positions of power that one day might be used to curtail our opposition to Islam and impose Sharia law on us.
So we need to continue to expose them and do whatever we can to defeat this evil ideology.
As C Hitchens once said, “the enemy never invades your city, until someone on our side opens the gates.” Leftists/Democrats are responsible for helping this enemy invade, infiltrate and destroy the West from within.

Hijab’s singular purpose (Qur’an 33:59)–was–to distinguish “chaste, pure” Muslim women from filthy, unbelieving riff-raff.
That hateful, bigoted message’s meaning, “revealed” (cough) a long, long time ago in a place far, far away, remains both unchanged and morally bankrupt to this day.
As an overt, public expression of Islam’s systemic supremacism, every Muslim in the U.S., starting with Omar, should be told–upfront–that it deserves nothing but disrespect and condemnation here.

The West needs 21st century Charles Martels, Charlemanges, Ferdinands and Isabellas to fight the scourge of islam.
Francis says
Proponents of ‘Islamophobia’ admit that they like the term because it associates in people’s minds with xenophobia and homophobia (& now transphobia) as something negative. It is also clearly a means of censorship. In the UK we have a ‘Representing Muslims on Campus’ report which cost taxpayers about $1 million. It maintains that to say Islam is violent or oppresses women is Islamophobic which equals racism. See my book ‘What is Islamophobia’ on Amazon for more about how the term came to be popular and its malign effects.

How on earth did a strange and clearly un-American woman like this become a Representative?

“How on earth did a strange and clearly un-American woman like this become a Representative?”
Very good observation!
That is the result of the griouvous error committed by well intentioned
but misguided ingénues and as the saying goes “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” And now the fruits of the grave error of allowing un-American Marxists allied with Jihadists to take over Academia, all the way down to entry level schools, the Media, Cultural Institutions, and now even that hallowed institution the Military, to be corrupted by bumbling fools who have no historical perspective of where the failed ideology that is Marxism, leads the nations that make the serious error of adopting it.
Now we have even “the newspaper or record” the New York Times spewing the falsehoods of the 1619 Project;
arrogantly declaring that our democracy’s founding ideals were false.” That is the enormity of the lies being spread by once upon a long time ago trustworthy newspapers.
That’s how far the nation has gone astray from the original vision as stated quite clearly in the great Constitution of the United States.
Patriots have a do or die uphill battle to save this great nation.
All is not lost yet, because there are signs more and more people are waking up and becoming alarmed by the stupor towards self-destruction.
Unwittingly the Biden administration will play a crucial role in waking people up from their sleep-walking fog induced by the relentless lies spread by activists disguised as journalists in propaganda outlets like CNN (Commie National Network) etc.
Patriots must close ranks and fight to the last man against this madness.

Special envoy? From where? To whom? From the federal government into your living room?
One of the ”facts” that should be checked is the link between ”white supremacist networks” and the murders in London, Ontario. If there was any link between the two the MSM and our local drama-teacher genius would have been all over it. Ditto the Israeli connection.

We need to combat islam and if thats islamophobia then so be it. Islam is fighting to control the world with its ideology and wants to stop any and all discussion that speak out against it. All dictatorships always attempt to control the criticism of its rule through silencing those who disagree with their rule.
Islam is a troubled ideology that use violence, murder and fear to control its followers and victims.

I ask you to call to memory obama’s* infamous speech to all islamic countries where he told LIE after LIE about islam’s contribution to America.
In blessed truth, NO islamic country or NO muslim has EVER done anything to help our country !
That is a grand total of NONE !
On the other hand, it was a Jew who loaned George Washington enough money to pay his troops, and then the J E W died in poverty when the fledgling America couldn’t repay even part of the debt.
Take the time to count the incidents like minor damage to mosques that the muslims decry as
“islamophobia” and then balance that against violence against Jews in this country.
Without an actual count, there are about 10 times more attacks against Jews than against demonstrating, demanding, in-your-face, muslims.
Still they whine and beg for special set asides and accommodations like paid time to “pray” and wash their feet !
Both the Christians and the Jews pray on their own time.
This Bull Schiff about special laws to combat “islamophobia” is just that !
