I have mixed feelings about Muslim Religious Influence on Politics in America. While I have trouble with any religion that forces its members to dress a certain way in public at all times, I recognize it's a way of being authentic and open about how they believe. The difference when Nuns do it is Nuns actually live separate lives because they are Nuns.
Forcing a Hajib on women when in public seems to be a defiant reminder that there will aways be a difference between Muslims and others.
In the case of Ilhan Omar's recent allegedly controversial remarks about Israel, I didn't see the remarks as being controversial since ALL lobbying groups use money to do their talking.
Here is a review of the alleged controversy regarding Ilhan Omar's recent comments that have been overblown by politicians from both parties. Clearly AIPAC reaches into both parties, which is exactly the point that Omar was making.
There is a lot of posturing going on among the Media and Politicians over Omar's remarks. The ironic part is, Sharia Law gives me the creeps, big time, bigly even. Yet in this instance Omar has been treated unfairly by all.
