The Democratic-controlled House overhauled a 181-year-old rule that banned hats from the floor to accommodate lawmakers who wear Muslim headwear.
The ban was lifted in a provision included in a rules package that the House passed in a 234-197 vote.
And also in our country, every citizen has full religious rights to express themselves as they see!
But it seems that for Dem. representative Ilhan Omar that’s not enough.
While speaking during a fundraising event for the Los Angeles chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations she encouraged some 400 Los Angeles-area Muslims Saturday to “raise hell” and stand defiant in the face of what she characterized as rampant discrimination against the Muslim community.
“I say raise hell, make people uncomfortable,” Omar said. “Because here’s the truth. For far too long, we have lived with the discomfort of living as second class citizens, and frankly, I’m tired of it and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it.”
Then she attacked President Trump:
“We finally have a leader, a world leader, in the White House who publicly says ‘Islam hates us,’ who fuels hate against Muslims, who think it is OK to speak about a faith and a whole community in a way that is dehumanizing, vilifying, and doesn’t understand — or at least makes us think he doesn’t understand — the consequences his words might have,” Omar said.
“Some people, like me, know that [Trump] understands the consequences,” she claimed. “He know that there are people that he can influence to threaten our lives, to diminish our presence.”
