Why are Ilhan Omar and Linda Sharia Sarsour Pro-Abortion?

23

Recently representative Ilhan Omar attacked Christians for being pro-life in a lengthy rant on the House floor. Also recently Muslim activist Linda Sarsour tweeted: “I am trying to understand how you can be pro-life and pro-death penalty at the same time.” To which someone tweeted back: “I guess the same way you claim to be a feminist while supporting Sharia Law.”

One would think that hijab wearing Muslim women would be vehemently pro-life and against abortion but that is not the case when it comes to Islam. Many Westerners and even some Muslims mistakenly believe that all religions, including Islam, are against abortion but it is a fact that Islamic law never prohibited abortion and never took a stand against it one way or the other.

In fact Islamic law goes as far as protecting parents from prosecution if they kill their children (no age limit mentioned). Such a law was designed to protects parents from prosecution if they kill their kids for honor; honor killing. Honor killing is widespread in the Muslim world usually against girls if they disobey their parents and Islam and usually over sexual misconduct. It also exists against boys, rarely though, if the boy becomes an apostate or is discovered as homosexual. Below is the law, with its number and page number from the mainstream sharia book “Reliance Of The Traveller”:

Story continues below advertisement

“Parents and/or grandparents will not be prosecuted for slaying/killing their offspring or offspring’s offspring.”

(O2.0 p584)

Even though many Muslims brag about Muhammad having protected life of girls when he stopped the killing of infant girls, which supposedly was an Arabian custom before Islam, the above law, is significant in getting those who honor kill their kids off the hook.

Islam and its laws are full of values, statements and laws that conflict with Western Biblical values and culture, especially regarding life and human rights. But we often see Muslims choose one statement in the Koran that talks about the value of life that was abrogated and stands in total contradiction to the many commandments to kill and get killed for the sake of Allah. It is not a secret that most punishments for what Islam considers sin (such as apostasy) with a long list of cruel and un-usual punishments some of which are torturous and humiliating execution. In fact Islam does not believe that ‘infidels’ have a right to live.

As to Islamic culture itself regardless of sharia, from my own personal experience of having lived 30 years as a Muslim in the Middle East, I have never heard a mosque sermon preaching against abortion or against honor killing of one’s children. In fact Islamic society forces parents through expulsion, boycott and a life in disgrace if they do not kill their apostate children especially girls who have committed sexual. In the movie, The Stoning of Soraya, before the village started stoning Soraya, her father was given the first stone to throw at his daughter. This indicates how society pushes parents to punish through honor killing otherwise the parents themselves will be banished and disgraced.

Like life, Islamic culture does not have concern or taboos regarding abortion. I have never read an article against abortion in Arabic. Many doctors perform abortions without obstruction from the state or Islamists. Islamic society is not tearing itself over the moral dilemma of life and when it begins like it is the West. I grew up hearing Muslim women in the Middle East casually and openly talking about their abortions pretty much like removing a pimple and without any fear of societal backlash. My own grandmother talked openly about her abortions because she did not want to have more than three kids.

That brings us to the fake outrage against Sarsour by some Islamic reformers who live in the West. In a recent article https://clarionproject.org/what-does-islam-say-about-abortion/ dated May 16, 2019, Muslim reformist Shireen Qudosi said that “Linda Sarsour disses Islam’s view of abortion for political gain.” In her article Qudosi forgot to mention what specific sharia laws regarding abortion she has in mind that prohibit abortion. This is because there are none. Instead, Ms. Qudosi tried to prove that Sarsour’s pro-abortion views as wrong not by quoting sharia but by quoting herself writing against abortion in the Federalist. She also quoted writings by a London-based niqab wearing Muslim female chaplain who wrote a tweet against abortion expressing her own personal opinion.

The misinformation spread by the so-called Islamic reformers regarding Islam, its doctrine and foundational principles is staggering and misleading to say the least. But one point the West could learn from Islam and abortion is that despite that there are no laws in Islam regarding abortion and in fact there are laws protecting parents who kill their offspring, the birth rate and population growth in Muslim societies is among the highest in the world.

When it comes to abortion Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour are right. Sharia does support their views regarding the taking away of life in the womb. Life and the preservation of life is simply not a priority in Islamic law. In that sense radical Liberal Democrats and Islamic Sharia enforces share similar values.

I’m pro abortion when it comes to Muslims. Both pre-birth and post-birth abortions.

Muslims WANT US to murder our babies. It lets them achieve dominance sooner. It also harms women psychologically. The more out of control and degraded women and others are helps to destroy our country.
Muslims want more lawlessness. Muslims want more depravity. All of these help to usher in a dictatorship. At some point even the people will want that. Muslims are using LIBERALISM to assist the destruction of our country and to distract from the monsters they are. BTW “gay therapy” has had success and that is why they want it banned in ALL states.

Do you really believe that Muslim Ilhan Omar embraces LBGTQ?

Ilhan Omar Rallies with LBGTQ groups ahead of vote on bill to ban gay conversion therapy
March 22, 2019

Rep. Ilhan Omar has rallied LGBTQ youth in support of a Minnesota bill to ban gay conversion therapy for minors or vulnerable adults.

Omar spoke Thursday on the state Capitol steps to a crowd that had marched from OutFront Minnesota’s seventh annual Youth Summit at Saint Paul College.

The Minnesota Democrat called gay conversion therapy “torture” and said it should no longer be a legal practice in Minnesota or any state in the U.S.

Oh, and yet “gender reassignment surgery” (which leave patients permanently mutilated, disfigured and deformed for life) is not “torture”? That is the LGBTQ “community’s” equivalent of FGM a.k.a. clitoridectomies which Jihad-Rep. Omar also supports. It is a measure of how much control the LGBTQ “community” has over city councils and state legislatures by which cities and states where “therapy” is outlawed yet minors are set up to be plunged deeper and deeper into an abyss of depravity, degeneracy, perversion and degradation. It proves that the LGBTQ “community’s” attitudes about “being” L/G/B/T/Q are indistinguishable from the Mafia’s in regard to “made men” or Islam’s viz adherents of the “religion of peace[sic]”: all three are of the belief that once one joins in, they’re in for life and can never, ever be allowed any way out.

But it also begs the question why Jihad-Rep. Omar – and fellow Jihad-Rep. Rashida Tlaib – support the misnomered (and Orwellian-monikered) “Equality” Act which would confer supremacist status upon “transgender” people and strip normal people – especially Christians and families and supporters of traditional morality – of their rights. Especially given Islam’s track record on LGBTQ. But that they do shows just how subversive and deliberately destructive to the moral and social fabric – as well as a concerted attack against the Judeo-Christian moral foundations of our society – the promotion of transgenderism really is (and it is not the job of a government to promote morally degenerated and depraved, or sexually deviant and perverted, or dysphoric, or other self-destructive behaviors, and the only way they would do so is twofold: a. To increase their lot in the population, and b. Committing total cultural, demographic, national and civilizational suicide). Remember:
– Antifa (as well as the remnants of the Occupy movement, ditto for ANSWER) also supports the transgenderization of society, calling it a means to end what they call the “pervasive” culture of “white male heterosexual privilege.”
– Black Liberation Theology and Black Lives Matter also favor the spreading of transgenderism, proclaiming acknowledgement of male-female differences, the business of separate bathrooms, showers, locker rooms etc. for men and women, and traditional morality in general, to be equated with (and the last acceptable remnant / relic of) racism and white supremacy.
– The #MeToo, Time’s Up and Women’s March movements are likewise in support of transgenderizing greater swaths of America, seeing it as the key to eradicating what they’ve long labeled as “toxic masculinity” and most importantly, achieving once and for all their end goal of “smashing the patriarchy.” (Never mind that the business of transgenderization is as much anti-women as anti-male, given the recent news of how women’s sports were compromised by men posing as women.)
It is thus imperative to start equating “LGBTQ rights” and especially “transgender rights” with Antifa, Occupy, ANSWER, Black Lives Matter, Black Liberation Theology, #MeToo, Time’s Up, the Women’s March, and other violent far-left subversive groups that seek our total destruction. It is that end goal why Rep. Omar supports the spread of homosexuality and transgenderism. That, and setting up more and more of the native population to be ultimately slaughtered once Islam gains “critical mass” in terms of population percentage.

The taking away of a woman’s right to control what happens in her own body is not one of the more uplifting facets of the Right. In fact, if bible-thumpers in the South keep passing laws forcing little girls who have been raped by daddy to have his baby I do believe I will stay home on election day.

I’d bet you are glad you weren’t aborted or a botched abortion. I wouldn’t be surprised if you raped
infants. Defending the dismemberment of a human being regardless of how it was conceived is hideous, evil and selfish. Adoption is always an option. Once upon a time people were honorable, had it and put it up for adoption. I notice how you blame not murdering babies on Christians. Christians aren’t the ones RAPING GIRLS. It’s the left and people like YOU raping girls. You are one cold, godless, SOB.

I am being kind is using this graphic.

Strange how “killing” is so popular as a way of managing sex among “feminists”. I have a very different, kind poem in my heart for love and I cherish parenthood planning only with ways for life to be well and safe. Now progressives need to become apostates of Islam and think twice when they hear mahomedans Omar and Sarsour claim abortion is caring. Progressives should have a good look at themselves realizing butchering little creatures is wrong and that there are accessible and better ways for a relationship to exist, as adult, respectful, responsible and meaningful. That is completely outside of Sharia which abuse in all directions.

The way I read it, Islam/Sharia was created to empower misogynist males over females, an empowerment they neither earned nor deserved.

ANY female who aids and abets Sharia damn well deserve the slings and arrows of chance supplied by that “Law.”

Since a Muslim husband is the slave owner of his wife who is nothing more than a baby-making machine (something for a Muslim man to “tilth”) for the expansion of the Ummah, I would think Muslim women can’t willy-nilly get an abortion because she wants one w/o her slave-master husband’s consent. Hate to think how bad he would beat her if she aborted his 10th child. Islam is not “liberal” in any Western sense of the word just because these fake feminist jihadists are pro-abortion…it’s that there are ALL FOR Western women to have abortions….all the better for the Islamic take-over of the West.
“Oh, Miss Jihadi, what a liberal view you have of women’s rights “—-“all the better to annihilate you with my dear so that Muslims will replace you and take over your country.”

It is wrong to even let these invading and illegal and law breaking nazi-islamics live here in the USA. Just because the traitor oBAMA LET THEM IN DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY STAY! These are the people who are the ENEMY WITHIN AND THEY LIE TO STAY HERE. Cut the funding and make them leave. The idead of them building their mosques of WAR is WRONG BY USA standards and values. These people do not deserve to be her because they are undermining and want to destroy us. I am sick of how the Dems. love to buy into the CON of filthy criminal nazi-islam!
If it takes a civil war to rid the USA of these invaders ,then so be it. They have brought out a hate of them in me that I never used ever. This is because nazi-islam is TOTALLY WRONG IN Western Culture. Time to ACT AND NOT TELL THESE SCUM ABOUT IT EITHER!

Every abortion done means 1 less infidel so of course cult members want abortion..
Same thing for the fools in the lbgtqx society. Watch/listen to their shrieks when sharia law is imposed in any defeated country, Canada with Justy Potato Brain as glorious leader (for now), France, Sweden etc.a leader by the slimmer cult. They will be the second group to be put down for living and breathing in a slimmer Cult environment..

“Why are Ilhan Omar and Linda Sharia Sarsour Pro-Abortion?”
That’s an easy one: because they are both Muslims and Muslims want to constantly decrease the number of non-Muslims while vastly increasing their own numbers; this is their simple but totally effective strategy for taking over the world.comment image

No Islam is not against abortion. Abortion takes place with no government restriction in islamic countries and also it is not mentioned in Sharia at all.
