keepthefaith Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 53 minutes ago, 3rdnlng said: https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2019/09/02/heres-rashida-tlaib-blamed-palestinian-honor-killing/ This past Thursday, a Palestinian woman named Israa Ghareb was murdered by her brothers in a hospital bed. This happened in public, with staff knowing exactly what was happening. No one intervened or tried to stop it. No one was arrested or punished. There are reasons for that, which will get into momentarily. This led Rep. Rashida Tlaib, noted anti-Semite and Palestinian activist, to put out a tweet denouncing the killing. That might typically be seen as a positive if it weren’t so full of obfuscation so as to once again show her lack of ability to condemn the real causes of violence from her people. And to be clear, Tlaib pointedly claims the Palestinians as her people. That is not my assumption simply based on her familial origins. Here’s the tweet in question. Rashida Tlaib ✔ @RashidaTlaib "Isra’s death illustrates an ever-present toxic masculinity and control over women’s bodies and lives." e Ah yes. The real problem here isn’t Palestinian culture, buttressed by centuries of Muslims committing honor killings as part of their religious beliefs. No, it’s nebulous “toxic masculinity.” That’s why Western cultures, which had plenty of “toxic masculinity” throughout history, also had epidemics of honor killings. Wait, they didn’t? Then perhaps that should point to the fact that masculinity, though it can certainly be weaponized in harmful ways toward women, is not the primary driver of honor killings. The article she links to is exactly what you’d expect. It’s a pathetic attempt to excuse all responsibility for the killing away from Islam’s cultural rot and toward the a wider enemy which fits into the mold of social justice activism. Here’s how the piece opens. She sure does spend a lot of her time and communication representing the people in her district - Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her district in Michigan has some Palestinian and other middle eastern immigrant families but the big majority are not of those ethnic backgrounds. 4 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: What on earth is this woman trying to do?

Buffalo_Gal Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 UmmmmOmar feels the heat - </snip> In the past three weeks I have circled back to interview sources whom I have found to be highly reliable in the Omar saga. They open a window onto the scandals from the perspective of Ahmed Hirsi, her long-time partner and the father of her three children.According to sources, Hirsi is telling friends: • that he will not go to jail for Omar; • that while Omar did indeed marry her brother (Ahmed Elmi) for fraudulent purposes, Hirsi did not know at the time that she had married Elmi; • that Omar is threatening Hirsi he would be in trouble along with her if the truth were to come out; • that Omar has asked him to state publicly that all is well with their marriage even though it is completely done and finished; and • that in fact they are living apart and have been divorced under Islamic law (although they remain legally married). </snip> 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Quote The Minnesota congresswoman and her husband allegedly separated in March, and Omar asked Hirsi to divorce her around that time because she didn’t want to file the papers — but Hirsi refused, telling her if she wanted a divorce she should do it herself, said the source, who has known both parties for 20 years. The husband allegedly changed his mind after Tim Mynett’s wife last week filed bombshell divorce papers claiming her spouse was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative — with Hirsi said to be angry he had been made to look the fool by the allegations of an extramarital affair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So his real complaint is that they didn't tweet before 6AM? Really, can we just ***** off with this bull####? There's plenty of legitimate criticism to level at those idiots without resorting to "WAAAAAH!!! They didn't tweet before I woke up!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
