Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) became agitated when asked at an event in D.C. this week if she and fellow Muslim congresswoman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) would condemn female genital mutilation.
She decried what she called “assumptions about what our value basis might be because of where we might come from, and who we pray to.”
Awkwardly, the question came from Ani Zonneveld, president of Muslims for Progressive Values and also a featured speaker on the Muslim Caucus Collective for Equitable Democracy event, where the exchange took place. Zonneveld drew attention to a Detroit judge’s ruling last November that a 22-year-old federal law making female genital mutilation (FGM) a crime was unconstitutional.

Did she suffer this fate as a child too? Maybe that's why Omar is so bitter. Either way, can't understand why she wouldn't speak out against such a barbaric practice.

Isn't that exactly what she does when she condemns Christians, Conservatives, and Jews? If one criticizes her, he/she is a racist, yet she can criticize anyone including our President without anyone being allowed to say anything.

The answer is quite simple; she condones it. No doubt she embraces Sharia law as well.

I think that #1 nails it. It may have been done to Tlaib too and would explain both of them being so angry, nasty and vengeful.

Seems to be a touchy subject for sing song Omar, why so sensitive? She's now exposed and easily triggered.

Ilhan Omar is a daily reminder that culture is a tough nut to crack. She has benefited greatly from the freedoms of the U.S., but her Somali "culture" still dictates her beliefs, up to and including hating the very country that elected her to its Congress.

There ya have it, even mainstream Muslims do not like these beasts. Their careers will be like small meteorites sparking away their lives in a short time but we can be assured that the insane opposition is grooming more like them for future elections.

She's a 7th cenutry barbarian, doing what they have done, since the 7th century.
How is it that anyone is surprised by this?

She keeps reminding us of "where she came from" and yet, why doesn't she go back?

I'm sick to death of Omar. I am sick to death of others in our Congress like her. Cretins, all of them. When any member of our congress is exposed as hating this nation, that person should immediately be rebuked and censored, stripped of all committee positions and ignored by the media. But, that is not the time in which we now live. It is up to us, the free citizens of this nation to deal with them.

The democrat party is a fraud. They support mutually exclusive positions as it suits them dependent on the circumstances of the moment. They cannot stand for everything they espouse all at the same time. They garner support from the Muslim world then turn around and woo the feminists and homosexuals who get mutilated, stoned and thrown off of roof tops by others they support. When we project our value based belief foundation behind our political positions on them, we see hypocrisy. Clearly they will do anything for power, the very power our country is founded on preventing from infringing upon our rights.

Any question you do not wish to answer, respond by attacking the questioner with a tirade. Another "How Dare You" moment,

As to having two daughters, the only vote we know of is her vote NOT to criminalize FAMILY for what a mutilator might do to a daughter under the direction of those parents.
Her comment was that we have enough laws against FGM, we don't need to criminalize parents.
So, she has two daughters....

We talking females or lgbTq males ? There are after all some willing participants.
Some of them aren't even Muslims.

BTW, where are the loud mouthed femme Nazis, like Gloria Steinem, the Fonda dame, and some other spokesnoids who never stated a single word against Muslims! American women had to abide whatever trash they came out with, but oh no, not a word against a muuuuuslim!

I sort of understand her position here.
Regardless what she believes, she would not want to be on public record
opposing this practice for any reason if she thinks she might be deported back to
her 'idyllic' homeland any time soon.

If she's against FGM, all she had to do was say "absolutely", but instead she goes off on a tirade against the lady asking the question.
Nasty fool.
