Would someone please tell me what “race” is Muslim? I can’t seem to find it anywhere on Google. Democratic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib invoked the worn-out race card again amid reports that the White House is considering expanding its travel ban to include seven more countries. A few of those nations are allegedly Muslim-majority.

Ilhan Omar — a Somali refugee who has repeatedly trashed the United States — kicked off the grievance-mongering by tweeting:

“They are Muslim-majority countries the President already tried to ban. We need to pass the #NoBanAct immediately to stop this madness.”

What do 5 out of 7 of these countries have in common? They are Muslim-majority countries the President already tried to ban. We need to pass the #NoBanAct immediately to stop this madness. https://t.co/UxdV7SsnCU — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) January 10, 2020

Fellow Muslim Rashida Tlaib reacted by screeching: “No more waiting. Too many Muslims have been intentionally targeted, discriminated against, separated from their families and denied opportunities solely based on their faith. Straight up racism!”

For the record, “Muslim” is not a race. There are Muslims of all races around the world. It’s not limited just to black and brown people in the Middle East and Africa. Rashida Tlaib is being racist for suggesting otherwise.

Keep in mind that this would be justified in light of Iran threatening to slaughter Americans en masse as retaliation for the killing of terrorist warlord Qassem Suleimani.

Iran controls a vast network of proxy terrorist regimes in numerous countries across the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, and America.

Qassem Soleimani’s daughter made a public death threat against the thousands of American soldiers deployed in the Middle East. Zeinab Soleimani issued the warning while addressing a crowd at her father’s funeral in Tehran today (Jan. 6).https://t.co/NfzdzABgQi — ??

In a statement, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said:

“The Travel Ban has been very successful in protecting our Country and raising the security baseline around the world. While there are no new announcements at this time, common sense and national security both dictate that if a country wants to fully participate in U.S. immigration programs, they should also comply with all security and counter-terrorism measures — because we do not want to import terrorism or any other national security threat into the United States.”

In his 2018 majority opinion upholding the travel ban, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts (a noted Trump critic) pointed out that the “ policy covers just 8% of the world’s Muslim population.”

Notably, Indonesia — the country with the largest Muslim population — is NOT on the travel ban list.
