Vice President Kamala Harris said the public should no longer use the terms "radical Islamic terrorism" and "illegal alien" during a speech she gave at a Los Angeles mosque in July 2016.
"We must have the courage to object when they use that term, ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’ which ignores how Muslims have overwhelmingly been the greatest victims of terror," she told the crowd at the Islamic Center of Southern California. "We must also have the courage to reject the term ‘illegal alien.’"
Harris’s remarks, which are available on her Facebook page, are yet another example of her history

'Heels-Up Harris' apparently does not like it when people tell the truth about a large part of her voter base.

English is a wonderfully rich language. It can be exceedingly direct. For decades the left has been nudging us away from telling the truth. They make up phrases......." affirmative action " sounds so much better than reverse discrimination, "undocumented migrant" instead of felon. " Transgender " ? There is no such thing. They have already criminalized free speech with " hate speech " as a crime. It is not. I have ever right to offend you as you have to offend me. Don't play their game.

But she is right. Muslims HAVE been the greatest victims of terrorism. What she lies about by way of omission is that the terrorists are always other Muslims. Islam is by its nature an evil creed which preys upon others - even if other Muslims when no one else is available.

Just curious, what planet is Kamala from?
Because she clearly knows nothing of the 1,400 years of unbroken, radical Muslim aggression against the West, and Christians in particular, such as:
Muslim conquests of N.Africa, Near East, Middle East (600's AD)
Muslim conquest of Spain (711-720 AD)
Battle of Tours, France (732 AD),
Fall of Byzantine Empire (1453 AD),
Battle of Vienna, Austria (1683 AD),
The Mahdist War against Egypt and Britain (1880s)
9-11 Destruction of the Twin Towers, NYC, and the murder of 3,000+ innocent civilians (2001)
Hamas' murder of 1,400 civilian Israelis (Oct 2023)
or any one of thousands of other examples of radical muslim aggression over the centuries.
Or, how about any one of the thousands of honor killings, rapes and enslavements of bacha-baz boy toys or female POWs and kidnapping victims, forced genital mutilations, and the highest rates of consanguinity in the world?

Sure, how about right after we end the terms Antisemite, Islamophobic, and White Supremacist.

These word games are so stupid.
“Special” is the new “retard” for kids.
Whatever you call an illegal, they’ll still be an illegal.
Whatever you call a radical islamic savage, they’ll still be head choppers and rapists for allah, p!ss be upon him.

Well, she may have a point. We should just say "Islamic terrorism", since for Muslims terrorism is mainstream.

"Muslims have overwhelmingly been the greatest victims of terror" ? Could we have her data/notes on that? It is true if we include Muslim-on-Muslim terror, yes, such as Hamas attacking Gazans and Syrians attacking each other. Otherwise what it shows is that terrorism aimed at Jews and Christians just does not register with Kamala. She doesn't care and she doesn't notice.

Correct me if I am wrong Kamala, but don't most of these suicide bombers yell "Allah Akbar" just before killing themselves and others? Also, aren't the immigrants who cross our border illegally breaking the law?
Why do you liberals always try to change reality, like calling abortion healthcare?

Kamala has no right to ban anything, including our rights under the First and Second Amendments. I will continue to use those perfectly descriptive terms and will mispronounce her name in as many ways as I can. Camel-face will soon be forgotten and become a footnote to the failed presidency of Joe Biden, nothing more.

The left tries to use focus-group tested terminology instead of plain direct language. Their purpose is to misguide/mislead people who make the mistake of listening to them. "Climate Change," "Pro-choice," and "undocumented workers" are classic examples of their chicanery.

She's just warming up. A Snoop Harris regime would be the most oppressive this country has ever seen. You think COVID was bad? Think again.

Sorry, Kamalie, but we still plan to use the terms, "heels up, cackles, broader czar, illegals, and radical muslim". Why? Because we can.

We must have the courage to speak directly & honestly, not use word salads to confuse & conflate issues.
The term illegal alien is exactly what it says, a person who entered a country without permission & is not a naturalized citizen of the country in which they reside. Maybe not all Muslims are terrorists, but from what I see most terrorists ARE radical Islamists. So they are both perfectly good terms.
