most congress people are accomplished...many are lawyers and many are smart....what is this woman's accomplishments. I have heard her speak a few times and she does not strike me as very smart. She didn't get there on any kind of accomplishments other than she fits some liberal bleeding heart narrative. She will add nothing to the discourse.

Abahaa usheeg, why don't you try and run if her
accomplishments are not that big.

She is a shining example for all our sisters that to succeed in the West, we don't have to sacrifice our daqan and deen

Proud of this woman, she is shaking things up. I like that she added the tusbah too haha I know her and her family personally, they’re very kind people.

This picture shows the ethnic diversity of the US Congress as well, a Somali-American being sworn in to Congress by an Italian-American.

Ilhan is limiting her career with all these Islamic symbolism.

If she wants to get higher positions she needs to be more mainstream and appear less Islamic.

That’s her whole shtick lol

Then she will never become a senator, governor, party leader, cabinet member or any other serious position.

The Palestinian one doesn’t even need to wear a hijab. No one questions her religious devotion but when it’s a Somali they need to do the whole ritual and yet still there will be questions lol.

Deeqa Afro
where you're at?..

 

[Karim]

I Love the way she fought the old historical laws that banned headscarfs in the Congress. She's truly a representative for all American Muslims.

I see more Somali congressmen in the future

Seattle-SD-MN-DMV has a lot of potential somali voters

 

[4head]

She was choosen because of Identity politics. She has nothing to offer to Somalis and Americans in general.
But good job anyway.

Arab women don’t need the hijab but non Arab women have to wear the hijab to prove that they are Muslims

I hate the identity politics

I don’t know anything about Ilhan besides the fact that she is ‘Muslim and refugee ‘
