US lawmaker accuses Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar of anti-Semitism, affiliation with terrorists
During a debate on a bill to internationally combat Islamophobia, Rep. Scott Perry accused Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar of alleged terrorist sympathies and anti-Semitism.
 
Debate on the bill stalled for about an hour after Republican congressman Scott Perry accused Omar of being anti-Semitic and affiliated with terrorist organizations. The House chair ruled Perry's words on the House floor impugned Omar's reputation and were inappropriate.
 
"Islamophobia is global in scope and we must lead the global effort to address it" said Omar explaining the "staggering rise of anti-Muslim violence and discrimination around the world."
 
Authored by Rep. Ilhan Omar, the bill would create a special envoy for monitoring and combatting Islamophobia and include state-sponsored anti-Muslim violence in the department's annual human rights reports.
