My latest in PJ Media:

The ever-winsome Representative from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, on Thanksgiving posted on Twitter a video of herself reading out an Islamic prayer praising Allah inside St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Washington, D.C.

The occasion for Omar’s taking the podium at St. Peter’s was a “multi-faith gathering” that attracted quite a few members of Washington’s Democratic Party glitterati, including House Speaker Nancy “I Don’t Hate Anyone, I’m Catholic” Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Donna Shalala (D-Fla.), and many others.

As the assembled elites looked on, Omar said: “There is a prayer in Islam that says, ‘Allah, put courage into my heart, and take away all that might hinder serving you. Free my tongue to proclaim your goodness, that all may understand me. Give me friends to advise and help me, that by working together our efforts may bear abundant fruit. And, above all, let me constantly remember that my actions are worthless unless they are guided by your hand. Allah, may everything that I do start well and finish well. Sustain me with your power.”

Through all this, a priest sat off to Omar’s left, occasionally consulting a large book he held in his lap, perhaps to follow along with Omar’s words of wisdom. And speaking of wisdom, as he sat there listening to her, did he reflect upon the wisdom and prudence of inviting into his church a speaker who would publicly proclaim her faith in a religion that denies the Incarnation, Resurrection, and Redemption of Christ, all of which are supposed to be core Catholic tenets? Did he hesitate at all to bring in a speaker who has asserted that “Israel has hypnotized the world” and made numerous other anti-Semitic statements?

Was this priest in the slightest degree concerned that his parish might be tarred by association with an open anti-Semite who apparently also endorses Sharia, the Islamic law that mandates that she keep her head covered and also denies basic rights to the Christians (including Catholics) under the hegemony of Islam?

There is much more. Read the rest here.
