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

[elongobardi]

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.

We have a secular government. If Ilhan Omar wants to express her religion let her do it in a mosque.
Roy Moore was removed from office merely for having a replica of the Ten Commandments in his office and this Omar business is precisely the sort of incremental Muslim creep people worry about.
She must conform to our principles (progressive leftists that espouse a secular government in any other context notwithstanding).
We shouldn't be yielding to hers. I assume Roy Moore is rightly pissed off about this all.

These leftists have no actual principles. All they know is that they are required to support Islam.

They don't care whether or not they ate the biggest hypocrites in the world regarding the separation of church and state. They attack Roy Moore with all the same fervor that they defend the Islamists.

It's amusing to watch deplorable trumpanzees equate supporting the 1st Amendment with being all in for islam.

And yes, when it comes to Roy Moore, I have a thing against pedophiles..........don't you? Or is that another thing that today's American fundie "christian" supports?

We support the second amendment and you assholes want to step all of it. Your hypocrisy is insulting.

If Roy Moore, your hero, wore a scarf with the Ten Commandments on it, would it have been a problem?

Roy Moore is not my hero, twit

If I had one. It would be Teddy Rooseveldt. Wildlife conservation and monopoly busting were great accomplishments .

 

[Montrovant]

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.

Well maybe when you moron liberals stop attacking some of what you say American greatnesses. You guys talk out of the back of your heads. Leave the second amendment alone

Cecilie a liberal?

This board often leaves me wondering what it's like to view the world through a prism of conservative vs liberal, in which anyone who disagrees with you on any subject must be from the 'other side'.

I know you like to use that word over and over because you lack anything approaching an intellect, but I did not vote for Trump.

He uses that word a lot, because he is an asshole.

That's a he?


I always thought it was a teenage girl .

Is anyone who is willing to accept this change in policy in the House a leftist?

 

[Montrovant]

How many wear a cross lapel pin?

Covering their entire head?

Right off hand I would say none.

Do you oppose religious symbols that cover a person's head?

 

[Faun]

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.

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

What a pity you think the Constitution is toilet paper.

ON some level, doesn't it bother you to be so pathetic?

 

[Faun]

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

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?

I don’t see that as a compelling interest to deny a U.S. citizen their Constitutional right to observe their religion. And it’s nothing but a rule. A rule which remains in place for all non-religious head coverings.

Are you pissed because MAGA hats will still be banned?

 

[Faun]

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.

A yarmulke is religious headwear.

Allowing it would violate the rule.

Hence, the rule change.

 

[Faun]

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?”

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.

LOL

Had you actually understood, you wouldn’t have replied the way you did. Your reply reveals you didn’t understand what I said.

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.

Who cares what their ultimate goals are? Their laws do not supersede ours. Again, this has been tested in our courts and the Constitution prevailed every time.

You don’t speak for lefties, you speak only for yourself. And you called the Constitution, “toilet paper.” I always knew you hate America.

Dumbfuck, with the lone exception of running for president of the United States of America, a citizen with “generations of American-ness” behind them are entitled to ALL the same rights and privileges as a citizen who was naturalized.

Just admit it, you hate Muslims and it’s driving you apeshit that a Muslim is going to get to wear a hijab in Congress.
