On a party-line 219 to 212 vote, the House on Tuesday passed the Combating International Islamophobia Act, which is co-sponsored by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu). The bill calls upon the president to appoint a “special envoy” to fight “Islamophobia”; this envoy will head up a State Department that will monitor the phenomenon. Omar’s bill, however, is wrongly focused in all kinds of ways, not least of which is the fact that it will combat efforts to “promote racial hatred” against Muslims, even though Islam is not a race and there are Muslims among people of all races. Meanwhile, the raucous House debate raised other problems with the bill as well, including the likelihood that it will inhibit counterterror efforts.

So just like you can't say jews control everything while they control everything, now you can't say muslims are terrorists while they terrorize everybody.

That already happens on a smaller scale in Dearbornistan.

Yeah Michigan is overrun with Somalis. But from this article I'm imagining the rampant smash and grab crime happening in NY and CA, but with muslims and instead of Nikes it's blond girls.

Agreed. It will only get worse.
