Will the human rights reports make a clear distinction between “Islamophobia” as attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and “Islamophobia” as honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence, which is always necessary?
Of course the answer to both questions is a resounding no. If this “special envoy” is created, he or she will crack down on honest discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression. The special envoy will be another agent in the Left’s escalating war against the freedom of speech.
“Omar wants government to monitor global ‘Islamophobia,'” by Luke Gentile, Washington Examiner, October 21, 2021:
Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois introduced legislation Thursday that would create a federal office to monitor “Islamophobia” and anti-Muslim bigotry around the world.
Omar hopes the office will help lawmakers understand the “interconnected, global problem of anti-Muslim bigotry.”
“The bill requires the State Department to create a Special Envoy for monitoring and combating Islamophobia, and include state-sponsored Islamophobic violence and impunity in the Department’s annual human rights reports,” Omar’s office said in a press release .
Although Omar and Schakowsky’s proposal is aimed at international anti-Muslim bigotry, they both said it is a domestic problem, too.
“We are seeing a rise in Islamophobia in nearly every corner of the globe,” Omar said. “In my home state of Minnesota, vandals spray-painted hate messages and a Nazi swastika on and near the Moorhead Fargo Islamic Center.”
In the past year, roughly 500 complaints of anti-Muslim hate and bias have been documented in the U.S., according to the release….
“As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia and do all we can to eradicate it,” Omar said.
Bob Bobby says
NO!
mortimer says
Of course not. Islam doesn’t receive SPECIAL STATUS with regard to criticism in our society … because whatever exemption is extended to Islam must be extended to ALL religions. Ilhan Omar doesn’t have the brains to understand EGALITARIANISM or secularism or ‘The Enlightenment’.
In our EGALITARIAN SOCIETY Islam may not receive a SUPERIOR STATUS to all other religions? In other words, will ALL religions be OFF-BOUNDS with regard to criticism … if not, why not?
Message to Ilhan Omar: The Enlightenment was a philosophical movement that dominated Europe during the 18th century. It was centered around the idea that reason is the primary source of authority and legitimacy, rather than religious dogma or authoritarian diktat.
The United States is based on ENLIGHTENMENT PRINCIPLES. We claim the right to analyze, challenge and criticize ALL religious ideas and authoritarian ideas and ideologies … even ISLAM.
Check Burry says
I say no too, a terribe idea, and also note she did not mention islamists klillings in every country of this world, of all other religions, which is what causes islamofobia. They own it. She must be dumb to not see what causes it.
PRCS says
“She must be dumb to not see what causes it.”
She’s not. She’s hoping we are. And many of us are.
Ray Jarman says
This POS said, “We are seeing a rise in Islamophobia in nearly every corner of the globe. In my home state of Minnesota, vandals spray-painted hate messages and a Nazi swastika on and near the Moorhead Fargo Islamic Center. These types of incidents are all too common for Muslims in the United States and beyond,”
I would like to have the opportunity to ask this slug about the wonderful treatment of Christians in Nigeria’s Hausa states or even of the Buddhist and Hindu people in Pakistan and Bangladesh. I would request her opinion about the terrorist attacks in Somalia and even in the once peaceful nation of Indonesia. Where the hell are the so-called reporters in Washington, D.C. or even Minnesota?
somehistory says
She would not answer you; she would put up her hand to hide her ugly face as she walked away, smug in the knowledge that she doesn’t have to answer real questions. She will get paid, no matter what.
mortimer says
It would not be ‘Islamophobic’ to discuss Ilhan Omar’s marriage to her brother, because brother-sister marriage is not permitted in Islam. Furthermore, it would not be ‘Islamophobic’ to criticize her filing a joint income tax report with her brother/fake husband, because false income tax declarations are not ‘halal’.
mortimer says
Reply to Ray Jarman:
Jarman raises the issue of Islamic terrorist attacks as an issue to be discussed and corrected in our society. Ilhan Omar argues in effect that bad news related to Islam should not be discussed in public at all. To discuss Islamic terrorism or analyze the texts that teach Islamic terrorism would be ‘phobic’, in her view. Perhaps it would be in Pakistan or Taliban Afghanistan, but we live in secular Western democracies do not give a free pass to crimes committed in the name of religion.
When religious people commit crimes and break laws, those breaches are discussed in our media and then tried and sentenced in the same courts that try everyone else who commits similar crimes.
We need to be able to discuss and criticize religious people and religious institutions when they go wrong. If I criticize the pedophile problems that were uncovered in the Roman Catholic Church in various countries, I am not necessarily ‘anti-Catholic’ or ‘phobic’ … I am concerned about child welfare. To correct a problem we need to discuss it.
Even though discussion of crimes committed by religious people is uncomfortable for many, discussion is the first step to stopping such problems from recurring in future. If I criticize Islamic terror attacks it is not a sign of phobia, but of a concern for political peace and societal safety. I want to stop Islamic terror attacks from recurring in future. So what is Ilhan Omar going to do to stop JIHAD ATTACKS, besides nothing?
Ilhan Omar and other Islam apologists do not divide between ritual Islam and political Islam, but we who are raised in the thought of The Enlightenment DO SEPARATE the church (or mosque) from the state.
Ilhan Omar’s solution is to ignore the problems of Islamic terrorism, Islamic misogyny and Isalmic discrimination against the ‘other’, and pretend that those things are not happening.
Ignoring such problems is a way to ensure they will continue to occur, because no one is doing anything to attack the ideological sources from which they spring in the foundational Islamic primary texts.
brother james says
I detest this wicked jihadist witch.
The very lowest of gutter rats; she married her brother; has openly supported terror groups and individuals involved in terror acts, among many things.
Remember, “Some people did something.” ?!?!?!
She slowly gains more power & influence at the very highest levels of Government in the US for goodness sake!
It’s mind mindbogglingly bad!
Now, (no doubt with prompting from cockroach Sarsour) she is tying the hands of anyone who speaks out against the ever increasing evil and deadly encroachment of the death cult.
Outrageous!

I look at CAIR/Omar’s claims here. They are baseless.

Have you heard of the Bill introduced by Ted Cruz? He wants to open “ports” in Martha’s Vineyard and some other fancy places for illegals to enter.
Not what you said you’d like to know, but it is kind of funny. Hope it passes?
Greekempress says
A few sent to Westchester, Martha’s Vineyard, Hyannisport, and a few sent to the homes of Pelosi, Mayorkas, Harris, et.al?
Why not—they’re all about sharing, aren’t they?
Let them have their “fair share”!
Have a great weekend somehistory—I always enjoy your posts!
somehistory says
Thank you, GreekEmpress.
I couldn’t recall all of the places and didn’t bother to look it up. sometimes, it’s just too much work. All who are bringing them, should have to help them in their one place…not put the burden on anyone else.
Thank you for the great weekend wish. I hope you do too. I enjoy yours too, just don’t always have something to add. Many times, your comments can stand alone.

She’s got those same dead “shark eyes” like any jihadi does, regardless of ethnic origin. Creepy.

Well all of us who hope, can hope that it won’t pass. And all of us who pray, can pray that it won’t pass.
nancy pelosi is seeing a bunch of crats decide to retire rather than run again. Perhaps there will be a sufficient number of rational, honest people who will take their places to let this slime maggot, i. elmi, alias, i. omar, know that
she’s a loser, woah, woah, woah, she’s a loser, talking about the ugly loser…and the loser is slime. She’s got bile, she’s got hate, and she’s always out of place, she’s a loser. She’s a liar, she’s a sneak, and she’s always playing cheat when she’s goes blathering…She’s a loser, woah woah woah…she’s a loser, and the loser likes to whine
(sorry and thanks, Tom.)

At best, she’s a massively ignorant, parasitical and harmful human being.
At worst—well, you know where I’m going.
Westman says
Yes, Wellington.
Don’t pay any attention to that woman behind the screen who cheats immigration with her bro, spends campaign money for personal expense, and climbs the husband ladder – we are expected to monitor the “whole world” for anyone with a dim view of the ideology whose morals she doesn’t practice.
Mature legislators must be having quite a lunch chuckle while discussing Omar and how impossible it would be to monitor, “the world”. One must admit, Omar brings merriment to congress.
Inspired Infidel says
How did this inbred whore for Islam ever get elected the first time ? Let alone reelected ? Americans need to wake up to real racism. These vermin think that anyone who disagrees with them deserves death. It’s easier to vote than fight. There’s already been one case of an Afghanistan refugee raping a girl in Montana. These sand niggers will not assimilate to American values.
Penny Sheldon says
Over populating key areas with refugees and immigrants almost guarantees that dogs like Omar will win any election to promote the Far Left and Socialism. There is no need for any type of committee or specific dedicated office in our government because we have the dangerous & powerful CAIR keeping everything in check in America. And for any American who doesn’t believe CAIR is a threat well I sincerely hope you don’t learn about them the hard way thru experience. Also Omar wants to monitor the world isn’t that a concern of United Nations or some other global organizations? Please everybody call and write your representatives & anyone else that may help against Omar then call and write one again. Keep the pressure up & let’s stop this on our way to making America, America again. If we don’t America is going to be a reflection of the counties that those in power fled from.

The only monitoring required is of global jihad that has been unleashed upon humankind with governments in Europe and the US tending to accept a “DHIMMI” status to support an echo system that promotes jihad.

I propose appointing a special envoy to monitor Omarophobia, as, due to Omar`s hateful speech and actions, dislike of her is skyrocketing.
tgusa says
She is a strict adherent to islamic tradition. I’m glad to hear her calling for a global islamophobia envoy instead of just an American islamophobia envoy. She and hers are not fearful of the stooges for islam out there they are afraid of the non stooge non adherents of islamic ideology. This is progress for the anti islamists. Thank you IIhan.
She is a strict adherent to islamic tradition, such as it is in America. In the muslim world she has committed crimes against islam that could result in her execution, islam style which can be very ugly.
somehistory says
If she got it here like the taliban has it there, she would “lose her head” for being in the government, having a job, etc. And she is fully aware, but believes she is better even than other females and would somehow. escape what they would say she has coming.

Omar is not dumb she is a foreign agent propagandist. She represents islamic rule.
Hank says
They should introduce a federal bill to monitor the Quran, its false teachers, and all the Schizophrenic teachings, bigotry, antisemitism, hatred, pedophilia, necromancy, oppression and violence it promotes.
As this person fooled the immigration officials together with her brother, when does she get booted out?
“As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia and do all we can to eradicate it,” should read
“As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and human rights, we must expose and recognize the sinister and threatening nature of Islamic doctrine and do all we can to eradicate it,” (Certainly not to invite it in and accommodate it)
Alfredo says
Ilham Omar is a known liar who never misses an opportunity to spread all kinds of anti-Semitic lies. Her activities include inciting members of Congress to block legislation to help Israel replenish its defense batteries, the Iron Dome, with a 90% accuracy. Unlike the shoddy rockets Hamas rains on Tel Aviv and other places in Israel, because she hated Jews.
And now she wants to introduce a motion to pass legislation to monitor “Islamophobia” in the USA when in her own country of Somalia they’re detonating bombs to kill Christians?
The hypocrisy of this hateful woman knows no bounds. She wants to make it illegal to point out the truth about her hateful and supremacist cult manipulating that slight of hand invented by the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamophobia, and used to silence legitimate criticism of the ideology that motivates all Jihadis.
