Ilhan Omar Calls for Sharia Flogging of Critics with ’80 Stripes’
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called for a sharia punishment of flogging for her critics who have accused her of adultery for her affair with Tim Mynett.
"Nor come nigh to fornication/adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)."
— Qur'an, Sura 17 (Al-Isra), ayat 3

The issue here isn’t whether Ilhan Omar committed adultery. The issue is a sitting congresswoman invoked threat of brutal sharia violence against her critics. It’s an unprecedented move and was met with backlash from the public, including a collective of leadership.
“This is no way to address the Somali community in our district. You basically are telling them that if they say the truth, about you, they will [be] punished by the sharia law that you are trying to import to our country. My oath is to the U.S. Constitution.” – Dalia Al-Aqidi, veteran journalist challenging Ilhan Omar for Minnesota’s 5th district.“Seriously Congresswoman? You’re a US lawmaker, considering ISIS & other Islamists have only recently implemented such scripture with horrific results, how appropriate do you think it is for you to be publicly citing this passage advocating lashing other human beings, so publicly?” – Maajid Nawaz, Executive Director of Quilliam
“Not only is Ilhan Omar justifying every hysteria of sharia in America, she’s also calling for cruel and unusual punishment and censoring free speech of critics. This is a HUGE problem. This is NOT what it means to be an American. SHE’S NOT AMERICAN.” – Shireen Qudosi, Clarion Project National Correspondent
Ilhan Omar’s tweet came the same day as another tweet using the Arabic expression for praising God and redirecting it as a political attack, to which human rights activist Yasmine Mohammed offered a quick retort educating Ilhan Omar on her own faith terminology.
It’s important to remember that elected officials are duty-bound to uphold U.S. law — not Islamic law. Advocating for a medieval penal code not only fuels and justifies concerns about sharia integration into American culture, it’s not an act in service of the American people.
