    Didn't know that truthfully. Apologise if this is common knowledge but do you have a link that can verify and perhaps fill in some of the details?

    Some people did something alright, the question is who exactly:

    You don't think that she should have at least said, "I'm sorry if I offended anyone?"

    Thank you.

    The point is that IF the government designates a person as a terrorist suspect, the 4th Amendment and Habeas Corpus no longer apply.

    If the Brits extradite Assange, almost a certainty, that will come into play IMO.

    Saying 'some people did something' is like saying what happened to JFK in Dallas on 11/22/63 was someone getting sick in a car.

    If you bothered to actually watch the woman saying it, in the moment and in context, she was not talking about the attacks themselves. She was clearly talking about the results of the attacks, against her people.

    The demonization of this woman is pure propaganda, the manipulation of the public perception, and all that includes.

    Anyone who refers to 9/11 as some people doing something is unfit for office.

    Anyone incapable of understanding context in any human speech is unfit for just about everything.

    Someone needs to ask Omar if she disavows the muslim attacks against Sri Lankan Christians/tourists today.

    Or was it just some people doing something?

    Slavery was some people doing something over 150 years ago, yet liberals can't seem let that go. Hypocrites...

    She claims that CAIR was formed after 9/11 but that is not what I've read.


    CAIR was founded in June 1994.[13]

    CAIR's first office was located in Washington D.C., as is its present-day headquarters on Capitol Hill. Its founding was partly in response to the film True Lies, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger which Arab and Muslim groups condemned for its stereotyping of Arab and Muslim villains.[14] The offices opened a month before the film's release. CAIR's first advocacy campaign was in response to an offensive greeting card that used the term "shia" to refer to human excrement. CAIR led a national campaign and used activists to pressure the greeting card company, which eventually withdrew the card from the market.[13][15][16]

    She also spoke poorly of the military members killed trying to save Somalia from famine, as seen in the movie Blackhawk Down.

    That may be but that wasn't the point of the video at all. If you actually viewed it you would know that.

    65% of her voting district is white. And it includes St Louis Park which jokingly is called "St Jewish Park". Take a wild guess as to why it is often referred to in that manner.
