Is that a threat or ... ? Ilhan Omar's response to tweeter who mentions adultery comes off as pretty absurd - and pretty darn violent
At yesterday's White House COVID19 press briefing, Donald Trump warned of a very difficult two weeks ahead:
Axios ~ NEW: Trump says next two weeks in the U.S. will be "very painful" and that he wants "every American to be prepared for the days that lie ahead."
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar responded with praise for Allah:
Ilhan Omar ~ Subhanallah!
That prompted one tweeter to respond to Omar with this passage from the Quran:
Retawa Agnihotri ~ "Nor come nigh to fornication/adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)." - Qur'an, Sura 17 (Al-Isra), ayat 3
Which, of course, is in reference to Omar being an undeniable, debauched skank who cheats on her husbands (now on #3) and who married her own brother.
Omar responded with another:
Ilhan Omar ~ "And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever. They indeed are the Faasiqoon (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)" - [al-Noor 24:4].
Oh dear.
Ricky G. ~ Uhhh .. Look up the meaning of "chaste" and I am pretty sure you are not counted among those who meet that criteria.
Sarcasma ~ Chaste? You gotta be kidding.
Oh THAT Guy ~ Chaste?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Aside from the laughable notion that Ilhan Omar is chaste, though, her response seems ... pretty violent.
neontaster ~ Is she ... proposing lashings for this person?
Ben Shapiro ~ Didn't see the "let's give lashes to people who say mean things to me on Twitter" take coming, but there it is.
Zaid Jilani ~ Rep. Omar with all due respect, as a fellow Muslim, I don't think we should be promoting lashing or corporal punishment, especially as an elected official who represents a diverse set of believers and non-believers.
Maajid Nawaz ~ Seriously Congresswoman? You're a US lawmaker, considering ISIS & other Islamists have only recently implemented such scripture with horrific results, how appropriate do you think it is for you to be publicly citing this passage advocating lashing other human beings, so publicly?
Yikes. ...
Chaste???!!! BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! You're so soiled none of the donkeys back in your home country of Somalia would even think twice about doing you, again, dearie - they'd be running away from you as fast as they could.
