Rule due to ‘blind spots’ of influential and powerful lawmakers, says Ilhan Omar
For 181 years, you haven’t been able to wear head coverings on the floor of the House of Representatives. Now, however, after the election of the first hijab-wearing Muslim representative, that’s about to be changed.
According to the New York Post, the election of Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar will put an end to a rule that was originally meant to differentiate Congress from British Parliament.
Parlimentarians had a tradition of wearing hats on the floor of Westminster. Given that we took up coffee as our national beverage (and even threw that dastardly tea over the sides of some ships in Boston Harbor) to let the British know how we felt about their institutions, banning hats only seemed to come naturally.

This is Wrong on all levels...how can a Muslim give allegiance to America if his beliefs are against our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Just answer this question, please.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! This is BS, they are sneaking into our society slowly but surely. I can not believe any true Patriot in this country would support electing them.
Deleteher* beliefs. Muslims, Jews, and Christians are all Abrahamic religions and worship the same God. That God, by the way, is constitutionally separate from the state.
DeleteAt 7:28, you are absolutely wrong. Our God Jesus Christ does not believe in killing other people. Only in self-defense. Muslims kill all non-believers. There is a big difference.
Delete9:26pm...I guess like so many religious zealots, you are either ignorant to the history of your religion or have figured out a way to rationalize it. The crusades of the middle ages were a mass killing all in the name of your savior.
DeleteWhy not? We've let them take over almost everything else.....just hand over the rest of the country...NOT! Time for this A$$ kissing to stop!
ReplyDeleteWrong, so very very wrong. She wants to serve, act like an American and take the head gear off, period.
ReplyDeletebeware they are here and among us working from within to destroy this nationand they are not alone
ReplyDeleteIslam, as a religious system, is entirely of Satanic origin. The Devil is behind every aspect of it. It is a "monotheistic" form of the ancient moon worship that Abraham left in Iraq 2000 BC, but which his descendents through Ishmael have continued. When Muslims circle the Kabah en mass, the Devil is the true object of their worship. The Bible teaches that the Devil and demons use religions like Islam in order to be worshipped by man as God. "the Gentiles sacrifice things to demons and not to God" 1 Cor 10:20; 2 Chron 18:21-22; Acts 17:16-23; Lev 17:7 ; Deut 32:17; Ps 106:37; Rev 9:20; Rev 16:13-14; Rev 18:2; 1 Ti 4:1-2; Gal 1:8. That Islam is clearly of satanic origin is seen in how vicious the theological and physical attacks are against Christians or anyone who believes that Christ was crucified at all, or that Christ is God's Son. Islam to pagan Arabs is an excellent satanic counterfeit that has influenced 1/4 of the earth's population. Islam is certainly the Devil's greatest challenge against the one true God and and Savior
Whatever happened to assimilating? It isn't right!
ReplyDeleteIslam is a form of government and should not be allowed on our House and Senate floors. We are America, and we have a Constitution that defines us.
ReplyDelete6:39
ReplyDeleteAnd this Muslim has publicly stated she was for the complete destruction of Israel
The change is taking another step to destroy US policies and customs. They come here because they want our traditions and the way we live. Then when they get here all they want to do is change the US to their customs. They should have stayed in their Country and change them.
ReplyDeleteUn-freakin-believable. We continue to kowtow to these savages. Very disappointing.

ReplyDeleteNo problem. Now other reps can wear their MAGA hats to the floor!
It’s the deconstruction of the US. Why is this being allowed?
ReplyDeleteNeeds of the MANY outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
ReplyDeleteSpock ALL episodes/versions
Dave T: I am so tired of living in this fake P C society where cowards give up their freedom, reward criminals, and inject their distorted political ideology. Pathetic to see and realize this is how the most advanced, modern, society since the dawn of human civilization functions. Hundreds of years pass, and we as people still haven't learned how to get along, balance a budget, keep jobs, stop pollution, or even end own own corruption. And what do we have to show for it except brainwashed millennials need a safe space so that can stare at their stupid phone.
ReplyDeleteSo she came to America to escape her $hithole of a country in Africa and now wants to make America just like the $hithole country she ran away from.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same crap that has been happening in Europe. Western suckers fall for it every time.
ReplyDeleteMinor ruling compared to whether or not this Muslim will honor and swear to uphold our Constitution and laws of the U.S. If not, he and all others who break our laws, should be forced out of our government.
ReplyDeleteWe should NOT have to change our laws, rules & restrictions to accommodate them. THEY should change to our ways...ASSIMILATE!!
ReplyDeleteI believe one needs to be a natural born citizen to hold such a high office in our government.
ReplyDeleteDid they give her a trophy?
ReplyDeleteThis is proper since Minnesota is now a largely Muslim population.
ReplyDeleteIndividual States must have autonomy from the "United" States.
If roaches are in your bathroom, don't you think they will be in your kitchen too!?!
DeleteIf Republicans don't fight against Muslims getting elected that don't honor the Constitution they don't stand for much.
