How far does Omar have to go before her party guys muster the nerve to register a protest?

A few more praises for al qaeda and pissing over 911 victims should do it

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Of course you can supply the quotes to support your claim , can't you Aussie ?

@RodionRomanovitch "Some people did something on 9-11"
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@sunsporter1649 Here's the full quote , which came during a speech she gave to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights organization, in late March. She was discussing the need for organizations like CAIR to ensure that Muslims writ large aren’t punished for the actions of a handful of extremists on 9/11.

“Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen, and frankly, I’m tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”

Looks a bit different when given some context doesn't it ?

And seeing as the Aussie is typically silent , maybe you could help with the quote where she is praising Al-Qaeda too ?

Points of nuance and context are lost once the mob mentality kicks in. @RodionRomanovitch

@SW-User They are not even familiar with the actual quotes ( and the Al-Qaeda one is even more benign ) , they simply repeat the slander they hear without any regard for facts or truth.

There’s only a few degrees (if that) in separation between this and the mentality that enabled the Salem Witch Trials. Trump is their Witchfinder General, and now that he’s declared them to be witches, the mob just wants to see them burn. It’s virtually pointless to even attempt to present anything counter to that. @RodionRomanovitch

@RodionRomanovitch Aww, you mean someone cherrypicked quotes for their own political purposes? Now I wonder how that happened?

@sunsporter1649 By having shit for brains I guess.

“...some people did something...” Ah yes. Flew planes into the World Trade Center and murdered thousands. I guess that could be callously described as “some people did something.” But of course she can’t be honest about WHO those people are or WHAT they did. But by all means keep defending her. Maybe when “some people do something” to the ivory tower you live in, THEN you’ll get it. Or maybe you’ll engage in more mental gymnastics to keep defending this crone. @RodionRomanovitch
@DukeOfEarle They’re Trump’s friends, the Saudis.
