Democrats Change 181 Year-Old Rule To Allow Ilhan Omar To Wear Hijab In The House

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Then you are freakishly delusional... Israel did bomb them and was going to bomb them again, escalating each time.

Israel had a variety of ways of halting Iran's secret nuclear weapons program such as killing scientists identified as key members of their project or cyber attacks on Iranian computers.
Anything to stop Iran from gaining their bombs and creating a real honest existential threat to Israel itself.
On the other hand Obama and Kerry wanted to give the insane theocrats in Iran a big
boost and bring them into the nuclear circle after enriching Iran and rewarding them
for their behavior which made them one of the globe's real bad actors.

One of Trump's best moves has been to smash that deal. For that alone his presidency has been a blessing.

Get real. Sharia law is not creeping in. Not one Sharia law trumps U.S. law.

As I already said this isn't a problem we need to worry about today. But in time, as Muslims gain more political power
in areas like Michigan and Minnesota, it may become a problem.
That's how the slippery slope is....incremental change until eventually you started with a chihuahua and wind up with a German Shepard.

The Constitution protects us from the nonsense you’re afraid of.

 

[Faun]

Dumbfuck, I didn’t say she wasn’t the catalyst for the change, now did I? I said the rule change is not special just for Muslims; and it’s not.

Hey, asshole.... until some other politician is elected to the House of Representatives with a turban or mitre, this change was made exclusively for one person...Ilhan Omar. That's how it shakes out in reality, jackass.

It’s applicable to any faith which includes wearing something on their head.
Is English not your first language?

My English is exceptionally proficient, you smug prick.
In reality, as already explained, this exemption to a 181 year old rule was for one person and one religion only!

LOL

If you comprehended English as well as you claim, you wouldn’t have confused, ”this rule change is not special just for Muslims,” with, ”who else does this change benefit if not this woman?”

 

[Faun]

How do you envision Sharia law eclipsing the Constitution?

Incrementally over a long period of time.

LOL

Then you should flee America now before Sharia law doesn’t allow you to escape.

 

[Faun]

Well, that sure is a bit hyperbolic. I don't think it goes that far.

I haven't stated false information.

No, you made statements based on your own hallucinations.

There have already been cases where the Constition bitchslapped Sharia law. It’s not creeping in, I don’t care how delusional your paranoia makes you.

 

[Faun]

No, you are. None of that is sponsorship 9f Islamic beliefs.

But it is a sponsorship of Muslim voters and interests. And on some issues democrat and Muslim interests are one and the same...probably why Ilhan Omar is a democrat.

Name a compelling interest for disallowing religious head ware in the House....

The good news is that FINALLY we are starting to *****-slap christian sharia law too.

The Constitution you lefties consider an "living document". ie toilet paper.

We live in a secular nation, not an Islamic one, and I don't understand why a member of the House, who hasn't even sat in her place for a single day yet, takes precedence over one hundred and eighty-one years of House rules.
Actually, I do....female, democrat, Muslim. Why shouldn't the system yield to this one person?

This is an expression of religion! I guess it’s OK when it comes to iSLAM. We’re screwed as a nation. ******* ABNORMALS and worthless, spineless Repukes are taking us down the path of destruction!....Wherr are the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE scumbags when they should be up in arms....but dont let a 66 year old cross stand on public property to memorialize our fallen war heros!

For 181 years, the U.S. House of Representatives has imposed a ban on its members wearing head coverings. With Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress, set to take her oath of office in January, that rule—which would have prohibited her wearing her customary headscarves or the hijab—is slated to change.

The change was proposed jointly by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Incoming Rules Chairman Jim McGovern and member-elect Ilhan Omar as part of a larger overhaul package.

When Omar is sworn in next year, she will become the first federal legislator to wear a religious headscarf. Her arrival will mark a number of other “firsts” as well. The Minnesota Democrat will be the first Somali-American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent her state in Washington. She’ll be joined by fellow Midwestern Democrat, Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, as the first two Muslim women in Congress.

Hats of any kind have been banned from the House floor since 1837.

I have to say, I don't actually have a problem with it. If an Orthodox Jew were to be elected to the House, I wouldn't expect him to remove his yarmulke. There's a difference between a fashion statement and a religious requirement.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Banning hats in Congress is a big deal?

It is when the hats in question are worn for reasons of religious observance.

A yarmulke is religious headwear.

Allowing it would violate the rule.

I'm sorry, what the hell is that supposed to mean, "Your [sic] in the US deal with it"? Did the US stop being a country that respects freedom of religious expression? Because I feel sure someone would have sent me a memo.

 

[Cecilie1200]

We haven't had a female Muslim elected in 181 years

So, that's all she has to offer in your mind? No surprise there.

It is asshole Republicans whining about a head scarf

Nothing to do with the head scarf. It’s changing rules to accommodate people of other cultures. No other country does it except us.

You say that as though it's a bad thing that we're doing something other countries don't, rather than a point of pride that we are more respectful of personal freedom than anyone else.

For someone who apparently spends a lot of time spouting about aggressive national pride, you don't seem to value the most important aspect of America.

Take up stamp collecting or bird watching...something where your limited intellectual capacity doesn't clog up threads with your tripe.
I understood the question and replied appropriately...what may be true in principle is not true in practice.
Have a nice day.

Yes, I know, which is why I don't have a problem with changing the rules to accommodate religious and cultural requirements that aren't actually affecting anyone adversely.

At the moment, it is not currently a question that needs addressing, since we don't have any Orthodox Jewish Congressmembers. We DO, however, have two Muslim members who observe certain religious and cultural requirements. I am even-handed enough to say that I'm willing to approach their issue in exactly the same way I would want it approached if it were someone with whom I am more closely aligned religiously and philosophically.

This is more than respecting religious expression. This is giving way to a the newcomer. We don't get to define our community anymore.

This is NOT more than respecting religious expression. The House of Representatives is a specific community. You and I actually are not part of that community, but these two new Representatives are. They have every right to request a reasonable accommodation for their First Amendment rights, just as you and I would in communities of which we are a part.

No, you made statements based on your own hallucinations.

No. Not remotely true.

There have already been cases where the Constition bitchslapped Sharia law. It’s not creeping in, I don’t care how delusional your paranoia makes you.

Shariah law is an ultimate goal of all Islamists like Ilhan Omar and
Linda Sarsour and it will be incrementally implemented to the degree they are able and their leftist pals are able to
smooth the road out for them and help make it possible.
Because someone is cancer free today doesn't mean they will never be struck with that insidious disease.
Wake the **** up, or at least get out of the way.

It wasn't considered reasonable for 181 years, but now suddenly a newcomer asks and we change the rules for her.


LIke I said. We don't get to define our community anymore.


That's the point.
