| Rep. Ilhan Omar |
outrage in the hearts of many of her Muslim fans when she declared support for the legalization of cannabis across America. A number of these fans might never rally behind her again.
That tweet on 20th April raised many questions in the hearts many Muslims. Some of these questions are; Is it right to continue to show support for Ilhan Omar? What next will she support, gay rights? Is Ilhan Omar a devout Muslima or a mare Democrat?
She proved those doubting Muslims right.
On 1st June, Ilhan showed her open support for homosexuals and co. She posted on Twitter, "Happy Pride Month! I will always stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community in the continued fight for equality".
No doubt, Ilhan has shown strong support for the Muslim community at the expense of her own safety but, she is not an angel and her errors must be pointed out if we are to protect the faith of our young ones.
In my opinion, Ilhan still deserves our support but, it should no longer be within Islamic circles.
We should support her as a politician just the way we support non Muslim politicians who are willing to cooperate with Muslims. Popular mentions are; Mayor of New York, Bill De Blasio and British MP, Jeremy Corbyn.
These politicians are not Muslims and they most likely engage in activities that are not allowed in Islam yet, we support them for their openness to the Muslim community.
Conclusively, people close to Ilhan Omar should advise her better, Ilhan herself should seek better understanding of Islam and Muslims across the globe should continue to pray for her guidance and safety.
Ilham can support cannabis for medical use which is healthwise not as a drug. I don't think Ilham support LGBT...If she does that then she is not of a Muslim faith, but from other religion that we don't know. Then can be supported as a Muslim friendly politician as well.
