Ilhan Omar, Islamic law and the U.S. Constitution

56

Central to the controversy surrounding the anti-Semitic and disparaging remarks about Jews and Israel made by the newly elected (some argue, fraudulently) Somali-born Congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, is the distinction between two laws: Islamic law and the U.S. Constitution.

It is unlikely that Omar would present a history of making such claims if she were not an adherent of Islamic ideology rooted in the Qur’an. The Qur’an is the basis for Islamic law, just as the U.S. Constitution is the basis for U.S. law.

Discussions about Omar’s apology are ongoing; numerous elected officials have requested House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Story continues below advertisement

A petition on Change.org has more than 178,891 signatures calling for Omar’s removal as of Feb. 19; the number has grown by more than 10,000 signatures daily. Another petition demands Omar be censured for her “repeated history of false, derogatory and hateful communications that go well beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse….”

Still others are calling for her removal from office altogether. Brigitte Gabriel, founder of Act for America, a grassroots organization exposing Sharia law in America, said, “Ilhan Omar is a danger to our nation’s national security. She married her brother to commit immigration fraud. She has allegiance/ties to terrorist groups that have declared war on the United States. She has clearly proven to be a raging anti-Semite.”

In the U.S., it is legal to hate Jews and be anti-Semitic. One’s belief is not a crime. But hate crimes are.

The critical distinction is that the Qur’an, and therefore Islamic law, instructs its followers in more than 100 verses to wage war and commit violence against non-Muslims. The U.S. Constitution does not.

The underlying impetus for Omar’s claims appears to be rooted in Shari’a law—which means submission to the law of the Qur’an. Because Omar self-identifies as a Muslim, and by the very definition of Islam, it appears that her allegiance to the Qur’an outweighs any allegiance she may have claimed to make to the U.S. Constitution.

Australian Imam Mohamad Tawhidi hinted at this in his response to Omar’s disparaging statements about President Trump. Tawhidi said, “Amazing what time can do. Little girl from the deserts of Somalia speaking like that to the President of the United States. If you had tweeted that to President Farmajo of Somalia, he would have applied Sharia Law onto you; the law you cherish so much. Behave yourself, guest.”

In my forthcoming book, “What Christians in America Should Know About Islam,” one third of the book defines Islamic jurisprudence, which includes Jew-hatred.

The Qur’an refers to Jews as “apes, despised and hated.” (Surah 2:65; 7:166) Jews are “worse than [transgressors] in retribution… and whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, … and serve Shaitan (Satan).” (Surah 5:60)

Jews are the “vilest of animals” who “break their agreement every time.” (Surah 8:55-56) Jews, like Christians and polytheists, “are the worst of men.” (Surah 98:6)

The Qur’an instructs its followers: “O you who believe! do not take not the Jews and the Christians for friends,” whom the Qur’an describes are “unjust people.” (Surah 5:51; see also 57ff)

These examples exclude the more than 100 commands to commit violence against and murder non-Muslims.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has translated into English and published hundreds of expositions Islamic leaders have given about Jews.

For example, Egyptian cleric, Hussam Fawzi Jabar, explained, “This is the nature of the Jews. By nature, they abhor keeping their commitments. By nature, they hate peace. By nature, they love treachery, betrayal, deception, killing, and blood. This is their nature.

“One of the most amazing things I have read is that Hitler said: ‘I could have annihilated all the Jews of the world, but I left some of them, so that you would understand why I did this to them.’ Hitler was right to say what he said and to do what he did to the Jews.”

Sheikh Bassam Al-Kayed, the Head of the Association of Palestinian Islamic Scholars said on Hamas’ official television station, an organization Omar supports, “The Jew is a Satan in human form. Allah inflicted the Jews upon humanity in its entirety, and especially upon the nation of Islam, including the early prophets and the Prophet Muhammad.”

In Houston a few months ago, Raed Saleh Al-Rousan, of the Tajweed Institute, a Florida-based Islamic organization, said Muslims will kill Jews on Judgment Day. MEMRI translated and published his remarks, which garnered international attention. In response, Gilad Katz, the Israeli Consul General for six states including Texas, said, “We should not be tolerant towards hatred. Hatred should be met with a very strong fist of the law, and should be dealt with seriously.”

But Al-Rousan was likely referencing well-known texts in the hadith, which are volumes of transcribed instructions and testimony from Muhammad’s followers. Combined as the Sunnah, the hadith are considered second to the Qur’an when discerning Islamic law.

The texts he most likely referenced include: “The hour will not come until Muslims fight and kill the Jews and the Jews will hide behind trees and rocks, and these trees and rocks will cry out saying, ‘O Muslim, slave of Allah, this Jew is hiding behind me, come and kill him.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 176, 177; See also: Vol. 4 Book 56, No. 791; Sahih Muslim Book 041, No. 6981, 6983-6985)

Unlike the Qur’an and the hadith, the U.S. Constitution was created to protect the inalienable rights of U.S. citizens, including freedom of speech specified in the First Amendment. The First Amendment does not protect hate speech, and hate crimes are felonies investigated and reported on by the FBI.

The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” The FBI notes that hate itself is not a crime. Hate crimes, depending on the severity, carry sentences of ten years to life in prison, and death, depending on the state where the crime was committed.

The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCRP) began collecting hate crime data in 2011, and added race and ethnicity data in 2013. Since 2013, it reports that more than fifty percent of the victims of anti-religious hate crimes in the U.S. are Jews.

In 2014, the first year the UCRP published data, there were 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes reported in the U.S. Of them, “56.8 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.”

In 2015 this number increased to 1,402 victims of anti-religious hate crimes, of which “52.1 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.”

In 2016 (the latest data available), the number increased to 1,584 victims of anti-religious hate crimes, of which “54.4 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.”

Whether or not any remarks Omar has made (or will make) are deemed as hate speech remains to be seen.

What should be acknowledged is that the Qur’an appears to legalize hatred of specific people groups. It is also a crime to contradict Qur’anic law under apostasy and blasphemy laws. The Pew Research Center reports that 90 percent of Middle East and North African Islamic countries criminalize blasphemy; 70 percent criminalize apostasy. Somalia criminalizes both.

Fortunately, Islamic law according to the Qur’an has no legal standing in the U.S. As long as the U.S. Constitution remains the harbinger of freedom, Jews who remain the most targeted victims of anti-religious hate crimes in America, will be defended and protected.

You already know, we’ve been here before and you stopped answering back. The Bible clearly teaches there is one God and that it is the spirit of antichrist that denies that the Son came in the flesh.

You show me one verse in the Bible that teaches there is more than one God. James 2:19 “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe – and tremble”. Stop your games Semur.

OK OK, no yelling (just kidding), I know it’s an emotional issue, and that’s good ; we aught to be passionate, but I urge you to not give up on them. Many of them overseas that have witnessed the brutality and hatred of their fellow believers towards innocents, are leaving in droves, and many of them embrace Christianity proclaiming it is the path of peace and truth they longed for.

Don’t get me wrong, compassion without discernment equals foolishness, and that is exactly what has duped millions in the West. Now this darkness (Islam) floods western nations because the West turned its’ back on God and embraced humanism. They no longer bother to listen for God, and it’s obvious to me that His cup of indignation is full.

While He will always listen to the individual, He no longer listens to or blesses those once “Christian” nations. Evil/darkness has power, but it is limited by, and in comparison to, the light of God, and when the light is present, darkness is contained. However, the absence of the light leaves a vacuum that evil rushes in to fill – it wins by default only. The utter insanity that many spout out now on social issues and the incredulous accommodation to these “refugees” that anyone in their first year of social studies could see the disaster being created by open borders policies, is the evidence of the absence of God’s light – His blessings.

He is taking His gift of those lands from those who no longer honor Him, and giving it over to the hand of the enemy (how many times did we see this happen in the OT), only this time it’s not judgement for corrections’ sake, it’s judgement as in final.

Prepare yourself accordingly – more is yet to come. What we will be able to fight is obviously going to be limited, but fight nonetheless. However, getting right with God through Christ is the sanest thing one could possibly do, what point is there in fighting for something when in the end you loss your life. His gift waits for all who believe and ask.

A great article outlining everything that is dangerous about the Islamic belief system. I have long stated that words are cheap, action is necessary. I believe that those anti-Semitic reps should be permanently removed from their positions as elected reps. With the obvious increase in attacks being based on religious hate increasing each year, one has to conclude that it is related to the Muslim immigrants and the hate speech generated by the likes of Farrakhan and the newly elected reps and the Imams in the Mosques. I have long pushed for prosecution as these haters are a metastasizing cancer in our society. They must pay a penalty as free speech rights should never protect these foul creatures. The have built in hate cannot be removed from them. I have written to our AG and asked him to end what I believe will result in more horror here by pursuing prosecution, and I call on all of you who read my commentary to raise your pen and voice to present the same views. I have even spoken to my state prosecutors about taking those steps. Time is running out. We cannot sit on our hands while these believers seek to promulgate their hate to non-Muslims, especially the Jews.

I read the article from geller report about someone who abandoned islam who said that cyber-bullying by fellow Muslims nearly drove him to suicide last year. Well if this was the kind of cyber-bullying committed by his fellow muslims, though it’s harsh and has no manners in it, (chuckle) it’s only showing how shameless they are. At the most they would get a few punches in their filthy coward faces for having no manners.

District 5 is a tiny district of minneapolis. Statewide Illhan Omar wasn’t on the ballot , only tiny district 5 voted 288,000 votes for Illhan Omar..
But heres where the obvious cheating begins..

On EVERY ballot in all 87 minnesota Counties, over 1,400 polling stations, Karin Housley was on the ballot and only got 17,000 votes.
.Against Taxing Tina Smith who was appointed by Mark Dayton and ran on promising to raise taxes on the middle class.. gets over 370K votes..

By contrast more then 58,000 people went to see Trump at MPLS airport, 20,000 people attended the Trump rally endorsing Housley in tiny Rochester Minnesota, mostly farmers…, his Duluth rally also drew more than 29K people chanting for Trump and Housley… but after driving many miles to attend these rallys none of these fans bothered to vote??

It is obvious that the people counting the votes in Minnesota are burning all the Republican ballots, and a massive provisional mail in ballot program run by Democrat operatives flood ballot boxes with anonymous ballots and the people counting them are Democrat operatives.
The solution is to do what Missouri does, No Mail in ballots, you must vote in person only on voting day, absentee ballots require voter ID and can be filled out at Deputy Registrars office, notarized and submitted to election commissioner up to 30 days prior to elections.
Democrats are behind a massive mail in ballot fraud scheme.
