Poster tying Rep. Ilhan Omar to 9/11 attack sparks angry confrontation in W.Va. Capitol
https://www.yahoo.com/news/poster-tying-rep-ilhan-omar-000005647.htmlA display in the West Virginia statehouse equating Rep. Ilhan Omar to al-Qaida terrorists behind the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, sparked a confrontation between Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Friday, according to NBC News.
One person was physically injured and another resigned as a result of the incident that centered on the freshman Minnesota Democrat, NBC reported.
An image of the poster that caused the confrontation was shared on social media by Democratic Del. Mike Pushkin. It shows an image of the World Trade Center just after terrorists hit the second tower with a civilian airliner.
"'Never forget' – you said ... " reads the caption above the image of the burning towers.
"I am the proof – you have forgotten" reads the next caption below an image of Omar, who is Muslim.
"No wonder why I am on the 'Hitlist' of a domestic terrorist and 'Assassinate Ilhan Omar' is written on my local gas stations," Omar tweeted with a link to the NBC story.
Omar has come under fire in recent weeks for her criticisms of Israel. Last month, she apologized for, and later deleted, a series of tweets about Israel that were condemned by both Democrats and Republicans as anti-Semitic.

Yeah, we forgot. You are a congresswoman.
I'M OFFENDED!
Muslim standing next to the Burning Towers complaining that muslims are forgotten in America?
I'M OFFENDED!
No Muslim should ever have the nerve to tell America how to react to the most effective attack on American soil carried out by her brothers.
I'M OFFENDED!

Truly insensitive and degrading for the perpetrater...
I can't say as I care much for the congresswoman's politics (not that I follow her too closely...)
But the comparison was juvenile and demeaning...

Speaking Of Brothers
She Defrauded Immigration By Marrying Her Brother
She Should Be Under Prosecution
Instead Of In Congress

Too Bad
She Has Ties To The Muslim Brotherhood
And Pleads For People Trying To Join ISIS
You Aren't Even Here. Let Alone A US Citizen
You're A Canuck Ex-Pat In China
And From A Previous Thread
You've Been Stealth Proselytized By Your Muslim Friends
Saying Prayers To Lucifer, While Slaughtering A Chicken
Thinking One God Is The Same As Any Other
You Are Stealth Proselytizing Here With-Out Even Realizing It
You're The Kind Of Muslim They Send In First
The poster isn't racial; it's a warning.

Sad
There is only one God...
And I am well aware of who He is...
Not sure what me being a Canadian or living in China has to do with anything...

Solve Your Own Nation's Problems
Omar's not sorry she made anti-Semitic tweets - she's an anti-Semite. She's only sorry she got caught.

I prayed to God when I slaughtered the chicken...(why is critical reading so difficult for certain individuals?)... Which made it halal... As Muslims also pray to God...
What makes you think I am trying to solve your nation's problems?
Simply engaging in gentlemanly debate and discussion...

These muslim congress people are the tumors growing in government.
Stupid American lefties voted them in.
She Guevara, aka Halexandria Obamio-Castrio ain't no better. She's in it to topple America too. They hate America as she was founded. They are cancerous.

If not true.

No
You Recited An Islamic Prayer To Al-lah
Why Is Critical Thought So Difficult For You
There Is No Comparison
Between The God Of Abraham And Mohammed's Al-lah
Mohammed's Al-lah Is A Counterfeit
And So Is His Religion
