I haven't researched the body of the Congresswoman's public statements, so I can't properly address
the one you quoted.

My statements here are solely with respect to the recent speech that was mentioned in the original post.

NO! - As a blood-bought Christian, I don't trust you at all.

Hi Romans. I don't believe that the Congresswoman believes such things.
In fact, she has been a champion of LGBT rights, which is a stance not typically
associated with any fundamentalist interpretation of that book.

Okay, that makes it unlikely that Islamists would see her as their representative. It also doesn't harmonize with her wearing the hijab which makes her more than a nominal muslim. Which leaves a lot of question marks about what she actually believes and what she merely endorses as a candidate for the Democratic party. Which may be two different things in several areas.

The wildcard in this discussion is that a Muslim is allowed to and even expected to lie and deceive to further Islam. The fact she is “inside” our govt system and whatever it takes for her to garner votes to stay there is indeed furthering Islam.

I dont trust any of them.

The question I'm asking myself is "where is the infiltrator for the Islamists ?" Because they ought to be somewhere.

From my own country my impression is that the immigrants that are the most difficult to read and understand, are the Somalis.

But in the world we live in, it seems to be expected that these condemnations be made, even by people who had nothing to do with the events. Not sure why, but it does seem like "guilt by association".

I wholly agree that the topic isn't necessary in every talk.. BUT, when you ARE talking about it, show some respect and don't deflect.
(3rd person "you".. not "you" specifically)

I have read a lot of what she's said and have seen several videos. She does believe America/Israel is satan.

If that is so, then it would be hard for her not to see her election as in 'infiltration' rather than an opportunity to serve the people. She really must be laughing behind closed doors at those that support her and come to her defense.

True...its called al-Taqiyya:
deception; the islamic word for concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies.

There are many articles such as this that verify that:

"Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so and "Allah" will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. They can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded in their "holy" books...
