Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. |
Shame on the Democrats and
the House! Trump’s tweets have nothing
to do with racism and everything to do with the failure of Islamic ideology in
the countries from which two of the congresswomen came from and the failure of Communist
ideology the other two espoused. As Czech president Milos Zeman said,
political correctness is a euphemism for political cowardice.
Just a few days ago Ayaan
Hirsi Ali wrote in the WSJ article titled Can
Ilhan Omar Overcome Her Prejudice?:
“Islamists have understood
well how to couple Muslim anti-Semitism with the American left’s vague notion
of “social justice.” They have succeeded in couching their agenda in the
progressive framework of the oppressed versus the oppressor. Identity politics and
victimhood culture also provide Islamists with the vocabulary to deflect their
critics with accusations of “Islamophobia,” “white privilege” and
“insensitivity.” A perfect illustration was the way Ms. Omar and her allies
were able to turn a House resolution condemning her anti-Semitism into a
garbled “intersectional” rant in which Muslims emerged as the most vulnerable
minority in the league table of victimhood.”
