[quote=Anonymous][quote]Her message was around Islamphobia which is obviously still an issue today. Just see this thread. Controversial but she has every right to discuss it.[/quote] I've written this before: 1. Islamaphobia is real. 2. Omar threw gasoline on the flames instead of water. She should think before she speaks and she needs to understand that others FIRST view 9/11 as an American tragedy that killed people. They also view it as a change to the way we live and travel. Yes, it may have encouraged Islamaphobia--but that is not the first thought that comes to mind on 9/11. It fosters fear. Much like Americans in WWII feared Japanese Americans and Americans in WWI feared German Americans (yes, believe it or not, that was a "thing.") How did those attitudes change? Time and grace. Attitudes do not change by Omar's attacks. Attacks on her or by her do not help. Had she not been so vocal already, her comments would likely have been ignored. [/quote]
