Omar refuses to condemn stoning of gays

She is already getting flak from the democratic party for previous things she said.

 

There should be no place in the Democratic Party for indifference to the plight of Brunei homosexusls. Omar: codemn the Sultan or sit as an independent.

 

Most people haven't accepted the fact that Islam is a political ideology more than a religion.
And one that is not compatible with any other on earth.

You cannot be a good muslim, and a good American at the same time.

 

Exactly.

She might not, but she sure as hell can. No political "tent" that includes me has someone in it who thinks homosexusls should be stoned to death.

 

Maybe she already has made her statement about gay rights, and has no interest into talking to an Islamophobic news site.

"maybe"... lol

And so far, no right winger dares to quote Omar about her gay right views.
It's just the far right singling out a Muslim for being a Muslim.
Jews got the death penalty on being gay. Don't see them being treated like this.
So it's obvious... it's a bunch of far right Islamophobes going at it.

 

Pff.. just more of them lame personal attacks, while you refuse to look up Omar's stance on gay rights. While keep on ranting fake news on what it must mean if she doesn't respond to the interrogation of an Islamophobic news site.

 

Most people accepted that far right Islamophobes just rant fake news about Muslims.

 

No she can’t. She’ll lose support of her Muslim voters if she does. Sorry.

 

I'm no supporter of Omar - But the headline is ... Democrat refuses to comment to the Daily Wire. THAT'S not a refusal to condemn, that's a refusal to talk to the dick-heads at the Daily wire - and that's not a story, that's like refusing to wipe your ass with sand paper.

 

I'm shortening your question: "Do you condemn stoning gays?" The only acceptable answer is "Yes!"

 

Moronic post on your part. Freshmen Democrats have (I am sure) been instructed NOT TO comment to Breitbart or the Daily Wire or any of the half-assed "news" blogs of the far right. Ain't rocket science.

 

She is in a spot, and it is not just this.

when they do unload on her she will have a lot to answer too.
I doubt she can stand up to professional interviewers and I'm looking forward to when it happens.
I'm going to watch it.

 

She is going to have to respond to someone else, for this and a slew of other things she said.

 

Of course it's a troll question. The only reason to ask her and not AOC is because of her religion she belongs to.
Has she ever hinted she is for Sharia law?
Has she said she is for stoning gays?
Given some reason to think so, other than wearing a head scarf? Or are people making ASSumptions?

If one goes to her website, I'd say you are all making ASSumptions.


The LGBTQIA+ community’s struggle did not end with the legalization of same sex marriage. People in the queer community are disproportionately affected by the same issues we all experience.

Ah, the old "the Nazis did it, therefore it's bad" fallacy (guilt by association). I take it you never owned a dog, because Hitler owned one?

Israel stones people to death for being gay? In the modern era? If you can provide a link for that, then you've got a good point. If not, then you are merely conflating what is written in ancient texts with what is actually occurring in the world today.

 

Yes she did say, she’s for stoning gays.

Not saying a word against is the same as saying she’s for it.

 

She should. But this particular thread is bull crap.

 

That may be the stupidest post ever on this forum ... and that's saying something.

 

...

 

What do you care so much about her opinion on her religion in countries other than our own. When she speaks to Sharia law superseding a US law I will be the first to condemn her. What those jerks do to one another is not business of mine.

 

I condemn it for the larger picture.
Islam is creeping into the western world, and people who have no concept what it is about are allowing it.
It probably won't happen in my lifetime, but my kids or grandkids will eventually have to fight it.

 

Omar's position:

The LGBTQIA+ community’s struggle did not end with the legalization of same sex marriage. People in the queer community are disproportionately affected by the same issues we all experience—lack of access to housing, education, and healthcare; violence; workplace discrimination; among many others. I will fight in Congress to uplift the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community, and especially when that intersects with other marginalized identities.

• 29% of transgender people said a healthcare professional refused to see them because of their actual or perceived gender identity
• Approximately 20-40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT
• LGBTQIA+ youth are five times as likely to attempt suicide than cis- and/or straight youth
• Over one-fifth of LGBTQIA+ workers still report workplace discrimination and more than half of states do not have any protections for sexual/gender identity
• In 2017, there were 28 deaths of transgender people in the United States due to fatal violence, the most ever recorded
• Fatal violence disproportionately impacts transgender women of color, and the intersections of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia deprive them of employment, housing, healthcare, and other necessities
• 2018 has already seen at least 16 deaths of transgender people due to fatal violence
• Due to bigotry and transphobia, Black transgender people face education to employment and housing discrimination, policy brutality, and health care disparities
• Nearly half of all Black transgender people are harassed at work and at school

Vision and Policy Priorities
PROTECT LGBTQIA+ YOUTH
All young people deserve to be safe regardless of if they are at school, in public, or at home. I will fight to end the epidemic of bullying and violence against queer youth. Young LGBTQIA+ are disproportionately affected by mental illness, homelessness, and drug abuse and addiction. We must treat these issues as a public health crisis.

• Pass national anti-bullying legislation
• Ban conversion therapy
• Provide funding for mental health services geared towards LGBTQIA+ youth
• Ensure affordable housing and end youth homelessness

END DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
We must end all forms of discrimination against the queer community. LGBTQIA+ individuals still report experiencing discrimination at work, at the doctor’s office, when trying to rent an apartment, or receive a loan to buy a home.

• Fight against any efforts to undermine LGBTQIA+ rights in the name of religious liberty
• Strengthen national protections against discrimination for both gender identity and sexual orientation
• Ensure that care specific to the LGBTQIA+ community, such as gender-confirmation surgery, is covered by health insurance plans
• Enact protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals who are incarcerated, and ensure transgender people who are incarcerated are placed with their gender identity

She condemns Israel. How about condemning Brunei?

 

History[edit]
The United States welcomed Brunei Darussalam's full independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984, and opened an embassy in Bandar Seri Begawan on that date. Brunei opened its embassy in Washington, D.C. in March 1984. Brunei's armed forces engage in joint exercises, training programs, and other military co-operation with the US. A memorandum of understanding on defence co-operation was signed on 29 November 1994. The Sultan of Brunei visited Washington in December 2002.

Principal US Embassy officials[edit]

• Ambassador: Craig B. Allen
• Deputy Chief of Mission: Mark S. Dieker
• Political/Economic/Consular Chief: Fausto DeGuzman
• Public Affairs Officer: Edward Findlay
• Management Officer: Shiraz Wahaj

Diplomatic missions[edit]
The US Embassy is located in Bandar Seri Begawan. Brunei has an embassy in Washington, D.C.

Has the USA broken off relations with Brunei? Closed down their embassy?
If not, then the USA is for stoning of gays. In particular, tRUMP and his supporters all applaud the stoning of gays.
If one uses their own logic.

 

Or not. As Islam entered the Western world, it too becomes more diluted. Just the fact that Omar is a college educated woman would not be allowed under the older interpretations of Islam.

 

Well, her website states her views on LGBT, so I'd have to say you just posted an untruth. Now, is that intentional?
