Alas, it is one thing to point out that Organised Jewry inject big money into politics, it is quite another to own your own shit, as the saying goes. Here she is making light of 9/11. And she is so wrong.
In the first place, CAIR was founded in 1994, the year after the first attack on the Twin Towers when a truck bomb detonated under the North Tower killed six people and injured over a thousand. That though was not the reason it was founded, rather the portrayal of Arabs by Hollywood and in particular the film True Lies had more than a little to do with it. *
In the second place, the terrorists who carried out these acts of kamikaze mass murder were not “some people”, they were Islamists, men whose perverted interpretation of Islam was both a catalyst and a necessary ingredient for their dreadful acts. If they had been Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian kids, Omar would have called them Zionists, Zionist murderers or something of that nature, not “some people”.
And after 9/11, people stared at her...is that so surprising? Now here is something she will definitely not have thought of. Nearly three thousand people died due to 9/11, more when one considers the after effects: cancers, etc. One person died at Charlottesville, one. The man responsible was a so-called white supremacist, a man who was considered unsuitable for the US Army, not for any political reason, but because he wasn’t up to it.
On account of the death of this one protester, “white supremacists” and “Nazis” were demonised, and an attempt was made to impeach the President simply because he didn’t condemn this “attack” quickly enough, ie before all the facts were in. If Ilhan Omar sincerely believes Moslems are second class citizens in the United States, if she believes they are stereotyped, she really should look beyond her own goldfish bowl.
* True Lies was released July 15, 1994; CAIR was founded officially the previous month, but this blockbuster film had been heavily promoted.
