Here is my full statement regarding my call earlier with Ilhan Omar: pic.twitter.com/DLLtp54gAF
— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) November 29, 2021
“This isn’t about religion,” Boebert says, after apologizing for offending Muslims by calling Ilhan Omar part of the “Jihad Squad” and making a joke about her. Boebert says she will always work to protect our freedom. But what if the threat to freedom is coming from some of the adherents of a religion that is authoritarian, expansionist, aggressive and violent? She doesn’t consider that possibility, at least in this video. So this is just more of the same superficiality we have gotten from both parties since 2001.
mike says
Omar called this country or compared it to ISIS or the Taliban Omar has over and over complained about the very country that gave her freedom. Omar needs to say she’s sorry to the American people
noel eliscu says
She is anti american and believes is the statements Palestine should be from the river to whatever
CogitoErgoSum says
She may not think it’s about religion but they certainly do. In Omar’s view of the world Boebert is a filthy Infidel. Apologizing to them for something most people would consider to be a joke only confirms the Islamic view of non-Muslims as being nothing but dirt. It is Muslims who owe the world an apology for keeping Islam going. It’s the true insult to all of humanity.
Valhella says
Yes CES!! Insufferable Slime Loves Assaulting Mankind..
BexarKat says
Omar made anti-Semitic and Judeophobic comments as a sitting member of Congress. No apology, no censure, nothing except the full support of the jihadi-in-chief Nancy Pelosi.
Mount Zion says
Exactly , and I really like how Lauren Boebert turned the whole apology thing on Ilhan bevore Ilhan hang up , finally someone with some backbone standing up for his own principles and for America .
Walter Sieruk says
Of course Ilan Omar would be so rude as to “hung up” on her , for Islam requires no Muslim to be polite to “disbeliever” unless is happens to suite them to archive of their goals . So that fits in exactly with Omar’s Islamic character.
With that Muslim politician, Omar her Islamic rudeness goes even further into Islamic callousness. As in hat a completely unfeeling and un-American stealth jihadist is that Muslim politician, Omar, truly is.
For many reasons , one of which was a very callous statement of Ilan Omar referring to those murderous jihads affronts which occurred on September 11, 2001 are the results of “Some people did something”
Likewise, a Muslim cleric who called 9/11 a “comedy film” is terribly heartless and cruel ,this is a further reminder that on the day of September 9 2016 some man I know who works as a security guard at a public place told me a Muslim actually had the nerve to walk over to him and said to him two Muslim “Jokes” about 9/11. As if it was a funny subject. It’s wrong to even try to “joke” about 9/11. Talk about bad “jokes” those two are the very much worst of all. The first was “What is the difference between September 11, 20001 and a cow?” answer “You don’t keep milking a cow after fifteen years.” Not only is that “joke” awful but those Muslims trying to be funny by say that cruel thing do have some gall because they have no room to talk . For they are still are “milking” the topic of the crusades and the crusades have been over for well more than seven hundred years. What gall they have !
The second “Muslim “joke” about 9/11 is “On September 11, 2001 the people trapped on the upper floors of the WTC had ordered their pizza sent two of them plane.” To say that such “humor” is terrible is an understatement. Furthermore, those two plane . Muslim who say those “jokes” are really only exposing their own sick, vicious, callous and heartless Islamic mindset.”

Kenneth J Johnson says
A siplejike can cause such an uproar. How verey Islamist. Omar would have been better off keeping her mouth shut. KEN
Infidel says
That’s the problem w/ classifying islam as a religion, as far as the First Amendment goes. It gets all the sanctity and respect that other normal religions get, even if it’s completely undeserved. I wouldn’t blame Boebert for this: she probably knows that islam == jihad, but that it’s a tough sell to the population at large
Terry Gain says
Yes. Tough indeed. Almost impossible.
Fitna says
You zeroed in on a massive problem Infidel, the fact that Islam is classified as a religion and given protections it would’ve never gotten otherwise.
Since it calls for the killing of unbelievers and imposes all kinds of brutal rules/laws on both Muslims and non-Muslims, then it must be stripped of its religious status and declared a political ideology disguised as a religion, on par with Nazism.
As soon as you do that, the claims of racism/Islamophobia have no merit (though they don’t anyways as Islam is still not a race) and then the tools used to fight fascist ideologies can then be used against Islam.
Infidel says
I’ve always considered it an ideological cult. A cross b/w communism and David Koresh’s Branch Davidian cult. When I have to do word associations, that’s the group I associate islam w/, not w/ mainstream religions like Christianity or Buddhism
Mount Zion says
You wouldn’t even need to strip it of it’s religious status if you’d classify all jihad activity that lead to loss of lifes as militant jihad . This way the claims of racism/islamophobis would have no merit either. So every time a jihad attack happens it would not be islam but militant Islam .
On the other hand , what about the preaching of jihad in mosques
Isn’t that also militant jihad .
I haven’t quite thought it trough completely .
Infidel says
What about all the jihad that does not lead to the loss of life? Such as the halal economy, which mandatorily discriminates against non-muslims? Or muslims spitting on food that they prepare for non-muslims? Or advocating for shariah law peaceably?
At any rate, in today’s woke environment, even opposition to jihad is considered islamophobic even by RINO Karens like Barbara Comstock. So there is nothing to be gained by claiming that one is against jihad but not against islam
James Lincoln says
Infidel says,
“…there is nothing to be gained by claiming that one is against jihad but not against islam”
100% true.
Islam and all of the various forms of jihad are joined at the hip – inseparable.
gravenimage says
Infidel and Fitna, Islam is indeed a religion–the problem is that too many people assume that all religions are benignant.
Infidel says
But more importantly, the people who believe that some religions are malignant find themselves more in the company of militant atheists and leftists than in the company of people of their own, or other, faiths
Which is why islam needs to be recognized and bunched in w/ ideologies like communism and cults like Branch Davidian, rather than mainstream religions like Christianity or Buddhism
john smith says
I’m in agreement with Infidel and Fitna on this one. islam is a satanic death cult masquerading as a religion and should be declassified, but sadly this will never happen.
Wellington says
In general, it’s never a good idea to apologize unless you are abjectly wrong—and also know that to whom you apologize is himself gracious (sorry, won’t do the “him” v. “her” crap anymore than I will do anything along the cisgender crap et al.). Time for the Left and weak people on the Right to grow the eff up—but most won’t, weaklings and silly people that they are.
No way anyone should apologize to any Muslim for insulting the Islamic faith, which needs to be insulted with great regularity, unceasingly actually. You bet.
Terry Gain says
Anonymous insults aren’t very effective. Boebert at least has skin in the game. She basically had no choice but to apologize. Any public figure attacking Islam has to make it clear that she is not referring to the adherents of that great Abrahamic religion.
Infidel says
She does make a valiant attempt though, by associating Ilhan Abdullahi w/ jihad. While jihad is an integral part of islam, it does have a negative perception around it, but is unfortunately thought of as being a perversion of islam. So she tries to separate Ilhan from other muslims by calling her a jihadist and other muslims plain muslims
Until the population at large know what we know, it wouldn’t be fair to fault her completely for pretending that there’s a difference
Fitna says
Indeed Wellington, Muslims should be apologizing for killing 300 million people over 1400 years and destroying/conquering 57 nations, but I won’t be holding my breath.
Islam is no different than Nazism, in that they’re both fascist totalitarian ideologies and need to be eradicated. We largely expunged Nazism, now it’s Islam’s turn. While we might not get rid of it in other nations, at the very least it must be removed from ours.
Jim says
Why would anyone apologize for telling the truth about a corrupt politician? The democrats have never apologized to Trump for the fake dossier or for the unjustified 2 impeachments and the effort to try to put him on trial and have him removed from the WH. Biden has done worse things, with Hunter the crooked son who shares his ill-gotten gains with dad. They never apologize. Biden lies a lot, he never apologizes. So there must be some arm-twisting to make someone apologize to I-O.
Terry Gain says
Democrats don’t have to apologize for anything. They control the narrative.
gravenimage says
Boebert calls Omar, Omar demands public apology, Boebert asks Omar for one, Omar hangs up on her
…………
Good for Lauren Boebert for hanging tough!
PRCS says
Robert Spencer accurately notes, of course, that Representative Boebert’s “This isn’t about religion,” assertion truly is “just more of the same superficiality we have gotten from both parties since 2001.”
No, Representative Boebert, it IS about religion; one that is “authoritarian, expansionist, aggressive and violent”.
Yes, Ilhan Omar’s religion.
If you want to be known for “fearlessly putting America first”, read Qur’an 33:59 on the House floor and state that “hijab’s” primary purpose–religious supremacism–has no place at any government office.
Do it, Representative Boebert. I dare you.
https://quran.com/33/59
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.1
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments.1 That is more suitable that they will be known2 and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.3

OLD GUY says
Whats really scary is that the islamic political institutions (CAIR< HAMAS ETC.) are funding and promoting muslim/islamic candidates for political offices, judges, and prosecutors across America. Omar and the Squad are just the beginning of the anti American politicians that are being supported with foreign money to change the basic structure of our country. American voters need to pay special attention to what candidates stand for and WHO is the money behind them and their agenda.
ApathyRulesTheWorld says
NEVER Apologise! It will only be seen as a sign of weakness.

Ship Omar and her Jihad friends back to where she came from, she does not belong in a free country.
