Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar spreads false claim about America attacking Muslims amid Iran strikes

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was blasted after wrongly claiming the US has previously attacked Islamic countries during Ramadan.

Omar, 43, belligerently ranted on X on Thursday evening ahead of the attacks on Iran. She claimed the US bombed Iraq in 1990 during Ramadan.

'And it's sickening to know that the US is again going to attack Iran during Ramadan,' Omar, who is Muslim, wrote.

'The US apparently loves to strike Muslim countries during Ramadan, and I am convinced it isn’t what these countries have done to violate international law but about who they worship.'

Although the Saturday attack of Iran by US forces is during the month of Ramadan, which runs from February 17 to March 19 this year, the other US attacks in the Middle East were not during the religious holiday.

The US invaded Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which started the Iraq War, on March 20, 2003 - seven months ahead of the October 26 start date of the Muslim holiday that year.

The US had also completed Operation Desert Storm, which was part of the Persian Gulf War, in the country on January 17, 1991, after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of the year prior.

Ramadan started on March 17, 1991, two months after the attack.

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
