Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted out her outrage and disdain on Saturday over a viral video showing Christians singing and praising the Lord on a plane, earning her mockery from many, including Republicans for what they saw as blatant anti-Christian bigotry.

The brief clip shows a smiling, happy pastor with a guitar singing Christian music on a plane as others join in and record the event. It was posted a week ago but gained attention over Easter weekend when Omar tore into it.

“I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane,” Omar, who is Muslim, tweeted. “How do you think it will end?”

Republicans pounced on the perceived anti-Christian bigotry voiced by Omar.

“Why do you hate Christians, Ilhan?” Vernon Jones asked, who is a black supporter of former President Donald Trump and a former Democrat that is now running to represent Georgia in the House of Representatives. “If the freedom of religion we enjoy here in America disturbs you, feel free to pack your bags and head back to Somalia, Sudan, or wherever you’re from. Take your brother with you.

“In America, Muslims can & do pray in public,” Jose Castillo, who is a Republican candidate running for Congress in Florida, tweeted. “If she wants a country where Christians aren’t allowed to do the same [Omar] should go back to her own country.”

“Qatar – a country you’re very familiar with – plays Islamic prayers on the intercom before takeoff on their planes,” Cicely Davis, who is a candidate in Minnesota, tweeted. “They have a designated prayer area & coordinates for Mecca are posted on the screens. It’s no problem. The issue is you hate Christians & Jews & lots of Muslims.”

Another candidate in Minnesota named Royce White tweeted, “I’m coming for your seat. Don’t disrespect Christianity! You’re a globalist fraud. You can’t pray in Pelosi’s office! The Democrats you serve don’t believe in God. Their platform is openly anti-God. Minneapolis will not become Mogadishu. We will not bend the knee.”

Even moderate Republican Adam Kinzinger chimed in on the incident, “I’ve been on many airlines from majority Muslim countries that play a Muslim prayer on the screen at takeoff. Never once concerned me and actually i thought it was pretty cool.”

The video’s origination is unclear. It’s being reported that it was taken by Jack Jensz Jr., who leads a group called Kingdom Realm Ministries out of Philadelphia, on a flight to Germany, according to the Daily Mail. The video was allegedly captioned, “We are taking this flight over for Jesus!”

Jensz Jr. is said to have been working on the Ukrainian border with his wife. Omar got the video from the Twitter account @davenewworld_2 but it has apparently been deleted.

Omar retweeted a response by sportswriter Chuck Modi over Republican responses to her attack, “Ilhan Omar: Makes very valid point. Right-wingers who hate Ilhan Omar: ‘You are ‘attacking Christianity’ because I am stupid or dishonest or just pandering to my bigoted base.’”

  1. I’d have to agree with Vernon on this one. If you’re in America, and don’t like what Americans do in America, perhaps it’s time to adjust your locale to a place more agreeable with you.

  2. What do you USA expect from this piece of human excreatment.
    She is a cancer ,vile and full of hate . Hates the USA along with the squad
    Voted in by some very stupid ,sucked in people .
    She should be hanging from a tree in Gitmo,upside down along with the rest of these communist, bastards out to destroy the USA .
    Fk them all & fkjbiden.

  3. She’s pissed because there were no muzzies on the plane to bow to Mecca and yell “Death to America”.

  4. Omar could have joined in if she wanted. After all, it was FREE entertainment. She didn’t pay extra for it. Thank God (Allah) that Muslims didn’t start to sing. It would sound like somebody stepped on a cat’s tail!!!

  5. Was it being filmed. I thought I saw a cameraman filming the passengers. It also looked like everyone was enjoying themselves. If there were any objections the flight attendant would of had them stop. Just saying

  6. She is a Worshiper of a DEAD Pedophile, who married a CHILD. She married her BROTHER. IT, is an example of her Previous Country.

  7. It is believed to be on a charter flight going to help Ukrainians. I don’t believe anyone would stand up on a plane full of strangers and start singing hymns.

    People need to get over themselves. Everyone is offended by everything. Just mind your own business and live your life. Now I know Omar was elected to ruin our country, and she is an anti-Semitic, Christian hating racists, but the rest of the people who are still mostly normal need to stop going after people for doing or saying something they don’t agree with. It stupid and a waste of time, this nation has wasted so much time being rude to each other.

  8. What’s her beef? She wasn’t on the plane. Did she know if the minister asked the passengers if anyone objected to some Christian entertainment to break the bore of the flight? No. If no objections on that flight and passengers chime in it’s a good deal.

  9. This ignorant muslim should know that she escaped from a vicious barbaric society and was welcome by the exceptional and unique free American Republic whose society is based on JUDEO/CHRISTIAN principles. Get it? You know what to do if you don’t like it.

  10. She’s on the losing end of the stick , her religion don’t say women will go to heaven ! Only if she is a suicide bomber , for her religion ! But we all know better , believe in God and his only begotten son Jesus Christ , then you may enter the kingdom of God . The un-american politicians are our threat . And Biden has no clue as to what going on , aoc is to blame for most of there failures , and her green new steal .

  11. “I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane,” Omar, who is Muslim, tweeted. “How do you think it will end?” I suppose it would depend on which part of your family you had this prayer session with. Will it be with your husband who is really your brother who you divorced to marry your other husband. In either case I wouldn’t jump up and yell “Allahu Akbar,” if I were you, someone might Duct Tape you to your seat.

  12. So, if I was on a flight from Tehran to Kabul and I saw a bunch of people praying in the aisles I should be offended and raise a stink. Got it.

    I am not a church goer but this country was founded on Christian principles and our Constitution reflects many of those principles.

    I also want to remind her that Constitution grants us the freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

    Christians can worship anywhere they want.

    1. And she can use the freedom she so seems to hate that this country affords us, and LEAVE on the next plane back to where she came from. She doesn’t RULE us, thank GOD, the real GOD.

  13. She should feel free to take her prayer rug and family, open the over wing door, and step on out for a prayer session.

    1. Please take your propaganda and leave this site with it. We’re sick of seeing it.

  14. Ilhan Omarm you can do your thing on the plane. Just dont block the aisles coz I WILL step on your greasy little fingers

  15. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) hates Christians, Jews, and Muslims. She only uses Muslims as a tool to get power. She is like many Democrat politicians who use various groups (e.g., black people, indigenous people, Hispanics) to get and maintain positions of power. They don’t do anything for these groups except use them.

    1. She hates everything about America, except our money, that is. GO BACK TO SOMALIA, since so much here isn’t to your liking. Frankly, we like our freedom, liked it even more with the last President.

  16. This pig should have her green card or citizenship revoked and sent packing. She is so ungrateful for what our country has to offer

  17. I believe people like her the leftest do this crap to get a rise out of Americans, she’s a troll.😝

  18. Omar is a piece of sh*t who thinks only her kind can do whatever is appropriate for them. I say get your freakin ass on a plane to your country where your from because your not welcomed here in the greatest country USA.

  19. I am perfectly fine with Ilhan Omar and her family having a prayer session on a plane on their way back to Somalia.

  20. Oh, Omar, you are such a sad example of an American! You come her, supposedly to get out of a theocratic domain, yet you pine for the exact lifestyle you left. You come here and gain freedom of speech and lifestyle, are elected to the government, and yet you kick the goads! Christianity is the lifestyle that God has offered to each and every one of us, so that we can have & experience the joy of living for Him, which brings song to our hearts and out our mouths. We, as Americans, offer you the freedom to worship & choose your religion, but we also wish to show you the fullness of the lifestyle that God – also known by Elohim & Jehovah – has granted to those who accept His salvation and grace.

    1. She left because the local warlord didnt want to have his way with her. She thought that America was a target rich environment . So she came here instead.

  21. Not a fan. She has a point. But, then, its not a group of hymn singing Christians who commandeer planes, is it?

  22. ilhan Omar the America hater – is a phony Muslim infiltrator who wants to legitimize the religion of destruction, oppression and death. She is a traitor to this country and a scam artist whose past crimes are well known, but will never be prosecuted for- she should be in prison rather than Congress. Disgusting

    1. She sure seems to like our American dollars, which IMO, should be investigated for the way she handles them.

  23. Why is this total POS ever given any publicity? She, along with Hildabeast, has to be among the most hated person in the US.

  24. Ilhan Omar outraged at impromptu worship on a plane, asked ‘Why do you hate Christians?’ Short answer…she’s a Muslim….

  25. GOD demands that I love My Enemies, so Ilhan you are forgiven. My GOD’S peace be with you, your broken heart, and soul.

    1. Then it seems you have as big a problem as the muslim. I just wish if she’s so offended that this is a Christian nation, that she’d get out of our congress, quit taking our offensive money, and go back to her muslim nation of Somalia. I, for one, am sorry she was ever allowed into this country.

    1. No thank you! IMO, there’s better to be had, and after all the husbands she’s had, I imagine it’s pretty well used up.

  26. Happy people on a plane singing. I can see where any Democrat would be highly intolerant and offended by that. But if Omar just can’t deal with it, she’s free to leave, any old time she wants. See how that works?

  27. I’ll tell you how it would go Ilhan – there would be very few on the plane that are Muslim and when your prayers began no one would be infuriated by it. BTW Jesus loves you.

  28. There is no place for that crap on an airplane. I would have told them to sit down and stfu. I don’t want Christians, Muslims or Buddhists singing and dancing on an airplane. She’s
    right./

    1. Yep. This is not what conservatives should promote – forced participation. If you are in favor of liberty, that includes the right NOT to listen idiots singing badly.

      1. It was EASTER weekend, GOOD FRIDAY, the day JESUS was crucified, and SUNDAY, the day he ROSE again. Don’t think singing Christians are the type who hijacks a plane, but her type has been known to do so.

  29. In another chapter in the unending parade, we are again shown the true colors of the kind, tolerant and inclusive left. It says freedom of religion. not freedom from religion. That freedom includes Christianity as well as Islam.

  30. In Africa, Marrekesh, Fez, Casablanca they had music and Muslim worship amplified on the radio and rooftops, Christianity is a capital offense. What is Omar doing in America? Send her way down to the Niger River where she belongs. America is a Christian country and Omar doesn’t belong here.

  31. Let’s see…last time I remember muzzies praying on a plane they killed 3000 people and destroyed billions of dollars of property.

    With Christians…yeah that doesn’t happen

  32. As a Christian, I do not like Muslims in our Christian nation government, but I also do not expect someone playing a guitar and singing songs while in flight. I do not have the freedom to move away from it while in a captive airplane cabin. To me, that is not the time or place for public worship, a country, hip hop, or rap singalong. Respect those trapped in the confined space with you, and sit down and shut up.

    1. I was on a flight and guitarist was made to not play his guitar. On a flight to Japan the flight attendant made room for a payer rug for a Muslim to pray. I stood on it in line to pee. I prayed to Jesus while standing on the Muslim prayer rug.

  33. Hey Omar, you ungrateful witch, we remember 3000 of our innocent citizens being killed, 2 big buildings destroyed and another heavily damaged, and our airplanes being destroyed. You should return to Somalia, where you’ll be much more in tune with that religion. This country is a CHRISTIAN country, not a Muslim one, and if you can’t adapt, please leave! It seems your campaign funds are being shifted to your private account anyway, and in this country, we do not marry our brothers. Please get out of our congress and go back to where you came.
    We sing praises to the real GOD not the god you worship.

  34. First of all Omar you are in a Christian country but no one would stop you from worship. Feel free to bring your brother husband, your former Muslim husband or your current American Husband and the rest of your tribe.

  35. One must admit that worshipping a God by singing praise is quite unlike Ilham Omar’s religion, as they believe in beheadings during their worship services. Singing nice songs just doesn’t cut it.

  36. When Muhammed created the Muslim faith he borrowed from both the Christian and Jewish religions!!

  37. People should take heed. I assume she does not provide representation for the Christians in her district. Maybe the Christians in her district might consider electing someone who would represent them in Congress. Just a whimsical thought.

    1. Thanks to Oboso I think her distict is majority Muslims.He imported enough to make sure she could carry a district. Same with the other one in Detroit.

  38. If she wanted to openly pray on a plane or any other place, I for one would respect her right to do so. Does she pray?

  39. It’s rather foolish to ask a muslim why they hate Christians. It’s because it’s what they’ve been taught since birth. islam’s claim of being the Religion of Peace is like democrats’ claim of being “tolerant.” It just ain’t so. They’re all disciples of satan and it’s their hatred, seemingly of everything, that defines them over all else.

    Democrats, by virtue of their hatred, bigotry, and insanity, are no longer fit to serve in our government. Muslims, even less so.

  40. This America hating pig should really move back to Somalia, oh wait, our campaign finance laws are allowing her and husband (the one that isn’t her brother) to become millionaires.
    She isn’t leaving we’re stuck with her.

  41. She absolutely DISGUSTS ME ! She has NO place being in OUR political system ! Go back to that cesspool you call your “country”, S%#tmolia !

  42. Well, we all know what “angle” Chuck Modi’s taking, don’t we? The one where we ignore what everyone knows about how Islam is in the Middle East (which includes Somalia), where Omar lived until coming here, like good duck-speakers. (Our picture may not be a good match with the situation’s complexity, but should anyone say so, that’s the media’s fault.) The angle where we ignore how the Democratic Party booed God at one or more events, and has consistently acted against the interests of religious freedom.

    Omar can pretend she just wanted to make a point about how we perceive Mohammedans in this country, but the larger context made people’s initial reactions perfectly reasonable. Forget my calling Chuck Modi’s approach “an angle”, gerrymandering out that kind of thing is a much different approach.

  43. Luke 27-30:

    to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

    1. Does verse 31 mean to reverse what they did to you. By allowing them to do these thing means I can do the same and yes I do pray for them to change their ways, because someone is going to kill them. Then they’ll be in helll waiting judgement. Just saying
