[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Talk about mischaracterization of words. I said the validity or context of her point isn't relative to whether or not I, and many others, find her words about 9/11 insensitive and offensive. Yes, Islamophobia is on the rise. Yes, her words are offensive. Putting them in context of her speech does not change that.

"You simply don't care about the rise of Islamophobia." You're too much. [b]If you care so much, why don't you start a topic on this issue[/b] instead of criticizing me for not caring?[/quote]

I'm the one who started this thread.

Why do you keep pushing me to focus on Islamophobia instead of her 9/11 comments/tweet? If you wanted me to start a new topic, just say so. I brought the tweet up here since you deleted the more recent one and I decided you were trying to consolidate.[/quote]

Islamophobia was the point of her remarks. You are ignoring her point to focus on semantics. You could read her whole statement and then characterize her words as "It was unfair that all Muslims were blamed for 9/11" or you could say "she described 9/11 as some 'people doing something'". Which way you choose says a lot about you and your priorities.

Sigh. You’re right. I guess [b]all of the media[/b] is Islamophobic, too, since her comment and not Islamophobia overall is what they’re talking about, too. Keep fighting the good fight. It must be exhausting. [/quote]

Correction: all of the RWNJ media.

For example, go look at news articles covering this story. 
https://www.google.com/search?q=news+ilhan+omar+some+people+did+some+things&tbm=nws

Who is criticizing her comments?
Fox News
New York Post
Breitbert
Sputnik International 
Christianheadlines.com 
The Daily Caller

Very telling that you think "all of the media" are taking her comments out of context.

And the other news agencies are calling out the NY Post’s racist cover.
