Is Ilhan Omar setting Somali Americans up without knowing?

[Ladylike]

Nah I love her we need her to be one of the few voices of American Somalis out there. The once that hate her are mostly yt men and men in general. Just look at her comments it’s full of yt men hating on her they want her to disappear because she doesn’t fit their narrative about Muslims women everything they’ve been using to misguide people comes to question because of her just being apart of American politics. I support ilhan 100%

 

[trf]

apparently I'm a punk and scared of people just because I want her gone loool

Nah not a punk lol. She does bring a lot of attention to our community in America. But if she didn’t exist, who knows? Maybe it would be even worse.

No one gives a f about Maga you dont seem to understand what we are talking about. Why has she become alienated from her own party is what we talking about? Black Americans have turned on her. Hispanics etc. AOC turned on her. You seem to think the right wing maga are who we are worried about. She slowly becoming a pariah because she is pushed by the far left to push dangerous ideas. No one cares about maga and Israel when most people are against Israel in this situation. Explain why senior members of Dems dislike her:

Clinton hates the dems now and what they have become and states himself that if a woman does lead it will come from the republicans. Obama is angry with the dems too. Why? Because of the polarization and Ilhan is one of them. Thats why Carvile is angry with her. She represents the extreme left.

You are too tribal and happy to see representation that you dont care about what she is actually saying. You support her because she is Somali. Maga isnt the issue here and no one is scared of them. There are extremists worst than Maga and Ilhan doesnt understand the level of violence. She knows how tribal wars are in Somalia but black americans know this can become dangerous. And any responsible polititcan would be pushing for less polarization not more. Now that those two politicans close to her were killed we will see if she pipes down because they is getting bad.

You think this shit is cool but we outnumber and people have guns. There is a fear there will be a civil war in the UK and that might cause the same in America. But none of that matters to you all you care about is she told off aipac. Just dumb.

Right now there are Americans on Muslim people side like Zohran, Ilham etc but God forbid there is one single 9/11 type of attack and you will see what time it is. This is why Ilhan should tread lightly. It won't end well for her or us sadly. I wish she was more like Ahmed Hussein. The people behind her pushing her will cause a civil war or war against Muslims. And Ilhan does not understand and she is rich enough now to bounce imagine all the qahootis who fled to get here through tahrib? The dems are suffering bad because they pushed their own centrists away:

How the Democrats sunk their own ship this year

The Democratic leadership would far rather lose an election or two — or even become a permanent minority party – than open the party to people it cannot control.

Lmao idk why white people equal maga to you. Im talking about white people in general dont like us and hold these views even if they vote for democrats since minnesota is a democrate state. Idc about clinton or the old dems and how they are moving. They cant win shit and their tactic now has been to become more right leaning. Kamala got dick chenay ,whos a republican, and has horrible records approval last election. Thts how the dems are moving. They are republican-lite. Youre just like the OP with ur fear mongering. We survived tht whole event without much muslim representation in politics. If youre this scared just get property back home and settle their cuz somali/muslim politicans arent why people "turn" on u. Oh it makes sense youre from the uk. Please stay out of american politics. I dont even think u guys even have much somali political representation in the uk. Yeah..."civil war" you need a chill pill.

That's a tricky question I feel like we would have still been targetted in America but to a lesser extent.

I never once in my posts said Ilhan was the cause or the reason for this. You're a un-serious person. When we critique her politicies and impact on politics we are labeled punks or subservient to whites, very silly. Bye.

Yes we would have been shaped by the politics of the times including Ilhan. This is the times we are in. Again I would never blame Ilhan for the bigger cultural war but I don't think she helps either. Anyways there is too much pressure on people in power representing everyone from their community. And I will support Ilhan over the woke right any time of day.

Ilhans powerbase is progressive whites and other pocs's . The idea she shouldn't champion progressive stuff is retarded. Most of you are not from America or Minnesota and have no idea how incredibly active she is at the local level meeting with all sorts od coalitions and intrest groups. Ilhan gets attention because she is actually an influential poltixan in the progressive bloc. She will be involved in American politics for decades to come. Do not thing that right-wing rage bait means anything.

Also the comparsion with Ahmed hussein is honestly funny. The guy is a cabinet minister which is basically irrelevant compared to ilhan .

Okay never mind. I support everything she does. Okay. Thanks nevermind.

 

[Hotchick12]

ilhan omar was voted by progressive yts somalis have nothing to do with electing her

 

[Taintedlove]

We should only be vocal if they mock Somali people which they mostly do but if they drag Ilhan I'm staying pimp. That's not my concern only other innocent Somalis are my concern.

Genuinely be quiet walahi and be grateful you have someone Somali to represent you. Us UK Somalis have no one and still get negative press. Euff

 

[Taintedlove]

She’s putting a target on people’s back without getting anything particular in return. What’s her achievements?

Being a the first elected Somali politician who has actually passed useful legislation for starters. What are yours’

 

[Taintedlove]

She still represent Somalis sadly. Why can't she move quiet rather than be th3 centre of attention and comment on controversial topics? Not even the Plaestinain woman in the cabinet move crazy like Ilhan.

Because that Palestinian woman is a coward. Ilhan is the only one with backbone when it comes to Palestine.

I dont know if you are really Somali but Somali people especially the ones in the west look like a fractured community thay dont help eachother but we do. Most Somalis will support another Somali before anyone else. All of us get mad when maga go after her and she has been a punching bag because America is hostile and in a culture war. As far as Palestine that is a separate issue entirely and the M.E is in deep trouble with wars for sometime now. They keep going like this and they will be treated like Somali, Sudan, Haiti etc places rife with wars that people just ignore.

Mosr people just want to go back to the politics dying down and not being so violent. Do you know two of Ilhans coworkers were shot to death and the guy had her on the list. This stuff and scary and being recklessly fearless is idiotic especially if you come from communities with violence. I dont even know a single Somali family who haven't dealt with gun violence. Some have 2 or 3 of their kids dead or in jail. Im serious. People want peace not more violence. I cannot stand this dumb culture war the far left and the far right. And most of the ppl I meet coming from M.E in warzones are mentally ill and shell shocked. This is not a way to live. It might look fun and games for you if you are some College student protesting but there are ppl suffering. Ilhan has toned down the rhetoric though, so imo she has gotten better. As far as her position thats something Allah blesses her with and its destiny. Not everyone can do a job like that. So most people even who hate her admire her bravery. But I hope this chapter ends soon. Too much violence in the world right now. There is a fear a war will breakout in the UK too.

Uk is racist towards white ppl let alone Africans. America is way less racist. Uk especially hates Islam.

 

[iley]

Though I am not the biggest fan of some of her takes, I respect Ilhan Omar for who she is and how she represents us

 

[Taintedlove]

You mean xenophobic. And the US started the hate towards Islam

 

[sh-89]

You mean xenophobic. And the US started the hate towards Islam

No I legit mean racist. They believe Slavs are Mongol mixed and that Germanic people are the true Aryans. It comes from that and mixed in with classism because they also see Slavs as poor. This Nazi mentality is still around to this day. They hate Jews too.

In America what is considered white is more inclusive.

US hatred for Islam is currently shifting with the Abraham Accords etc. I don't it was ever towards the rich Gulf nations and more towards some Muslim countries. I think it has shifted now.

And imo the hate goes both ways. Many people dislike the West and their culture including Westerners themselves now. There is a deep self hate and conservative resurgence.
