“It’s important for us to make sure that we are not forgetting the aftermath of 9/11, [when] many Americans found themselves now having their civil rights stripped from them, and so what I was speaking to was that as a Muslim, not only was I suffering as an American who was attacked on that day, but the next day I woke up as my fellow Americans were now treating me as suspect,”
Of course being concerned about radical Muslims, like the Somalia Americans in Omar's district who tried to join ISIS, committing acts of terrorism against America isn't Muslims losing their rights.
At no point were Muslim Americans rounded up and put into prison camps the way Democrat FDR rounded up Japanese Americans and put them in prison camps during WWII. Similarly Muslims enjoyed all the rights that the had on 9/10 on 9/12 and up until the present day.
What's really amazing is that Omar has said that the only reason that any American supports Israel is because the vast international Jewish conspiracy has given them money. Thats a far more sweeping, and factually baseless, belief than Americans, after a vicious terrorist attack on American by Islamic radicals, wondering if any American Muslims shared harbored radical beliefs.
This is especially dishonest given that in the aftermath of 9/11 Bush and pretty much every other politician told us that we were not to blame Muslims in general.
