Muslim Council Of Foreign Relations Member Condemns Ilhan Omar For Antisemitism
[Jpost] Dr. Qanta Ahmed, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations a United States based-think tank, has appeared on Fox and Friends this week to discussing her op-ed in which she claims that Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar

is "proving to be an enormous liability to America's Moslem's."

"In her remarks, she has branded every Moslem in America as an antisemite, and this is absolutely unacceptable and un-Islamic," Ahmed said.

Some of the interview focuses on the comments Ilhan Omar made about AIPAC, suggesting that American politicians are paid-off or bribed for their support of Israel. Ahmed further explained that there is a "incredible bias that is disturbing," and that Omar fails to mention that Moslem nations such as Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
spend "tens of millions of dollars more on lobbying than AIPAC does" to push their agenda within the U.S. government each year.

Ahmed believes based on this bias Omar should be ejected from the House of Foreign Affairs Committee immediately because anything that the Minnesota Representative now proposes can be "interpreted through the lens of antisemitism."

"Also very concerned, I am, that she is affiliated with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement, which is legitimizing and normalizing antisemitism. It's a movement that calls for the eradication of the State of Israel, which is unacceptable. It's disguised as a human rights

movement, but it's actually antisemitism," Ahmed explained.

Ahmed believes that this this the new form of antisemitism, and that this bias is infecting the Islamic community, and she quoted a Washington Post op-ed that claims antisemitism is carried through Islam whether Moslems like it or not, and that is anti-ethical to true Islamic beliefs and believes American Moslems must reject this notion.

Ilhan Omar since apologized for the comments regarding AIPAC, "Antisemitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of antisemitic tropes," she wrote. "My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry."

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
Ahmed believes that this apology is "hollow" and still concerning. She says that there is no room or justification for antisemitic speech, and that lobbying is a part of liberal democracy and should not be an excuse for the rhetoric used.

"[Antisemitism] is not only hate speech, it is genocidal speech. Antisemitism is the only vilification and prejudice of people that leads directly to genocide," Ahmed explained.

"Islam teaches us to treasure and revere the Torah, Moses, just as it does Jesus and the bible [this rhetoric] is not coming from Islam, this is de nova, this is a 20th century construction that has been adopted in the modern Arab world and is causing strife against Moslem's who don't have that critical thinking and who see maybe the success of Israel or maybe the intelligence of the Jewish community with resentment and with animus, and I don't accept that this is a means to advocate for the Paleostinian people." Ahmed concluded.

#2 I have heard Dr. Qanta Ahmed speak before. Can not remember if she is a heretic or a fundamentalist.

#3 I gave the link to her personal website at the end of the article. Go look there, gentlemen, and make an informed decision.

Professor Ahmed is not the only Muslim speaking out against radical Islam, nor the only one speaking for Israel. Israel is about to host a conference of pro-Israel bloggers, according to the Jerusalem Post, and the first one the article mentions — who has appeared on Rantburg’s opinion page years ago — is another British Muslim. They and others stand in strong contrast to apologists for Islamofascism like Tariq Ramadan.

#4 there are a lot of pro Israel or pro Judaism/Christianity Muslims. They can thrive in places like the US.

In majority Muslim countries, it is much more difficult to hold these opinions publicly.

That tells you a lot.

#5 Dr Ahmed has apparently forgotten that line in the Koran that goes something like:

And the day of Islam shall not arrive until all the rocks and trees cry out "oh muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come kill him".

#6 My mistake - it's from the Hadith, not the Koran.
