    Twitter might be infested with it.

    No, I mean how do you know that Loomer knows that FGM is a cultural thing and not a religious thing?

    How about you start ranting racial slurs here, to than claim you did not know. See how that works out.

    That Omar supports FMG is the ethnic slur she used.

    People, Twitter is a private company, they don't have a broadcast license, to be revoked or held to any standard. It is just a quick way to get an opinion out. Don't like it don't use it. The only pressure on them is their users, if enough people drop thier accounts they will respond. As far as Farakhan, he is a religious leader of a church with millions of followers, We have strong laws protecting religious beliefs.

    Apparently Twitter doesn't like to be an instrument to make personal attacks with ethnic and religious slurs.
    It probably will cost them a lot of customers if they allowed that.

    Nobody is saying that they're NOT a private company.

    Uh, didn't you say that Twitter is a private company? Why are you now saying that they must abide by the First Amendment?

    So saying that someone supports something that is part of the culture of their country of origin, is an "ethnic slur?" Surely you can't be serious.

    They are a private company, They don't have to "abide" but the nation has a strong notion of religious tolerance.

    Why? If you have a conservative or liberal bent newspaper do you need to have an opposing liberal or conservative viewpoint in your opinion pieces. Telling only one side is not a violation of free speech.

    The Left's Big Corporate Media viewpoint suppression.

    Omar’s attitude to the United States from the time of her arrival in the United States out of a Kenyan refugee camp:

    From “the first day we arrived in America,” she said, she concluded that it was not the golden land that she had heard about.

    “I think back to the orientations I went through a little over 20 years ago in the process of coming to this country, and in those orientations they did not have people who were homeless. There was an America that extended liberty and justice to everyone. There was an America where prosperity was guaranteed regardless of where you were born and what you looked like and who you prayed to,” she said, adding, “I wasn’t comfortable with that hypocrisy.”​

    There is no gratitude to the United States, no pride in her citizenship. We have been judged and found wanting. We require fundamental transformation to meet her standards.

    As you can see from the Laura Loomer treatment one is not allowed to critique her.

    Apparently he thinks that the First Amendment applies to private companies, not just Congress.

    Do people have a right to come into your house and shout whatever they wish out of your windows?

    To the point of insulting the people of another religion just as Farrakhan did? Does that make any sense to you at all?

    Because of religious tolerance, yes it does. Now if the nation of islam run business refused to sell to a jew I would have a problem. Him expounding a belief of that religion makes it allowable, even if it is distasteful. What about the Christian nutcases protesting at funerals.

    Stop putting words in my mouth. I argued how it's ethnic slur perfectly fine.
