The hijab is the garment of submission: submission to male dominance, threats of violence, sexual appetites, etc.
Perhaps in America, Ilhan Omar means it to be a symbol of resistance, but to the audience she is talking to in Vogue Arabia (the Middle East edition of Vogue magazine, which is distributed in several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Lebanon), the woman there know exactly what the hijab means. And it is the opposite of power, liberation, beauty, and resistance.
Ask these girls what the hijab means to them. Oh yeah, you can’t. They were all killed by their families for not wearing hijab.

“Ilhan Omar: ‘To Me, the Hijab Means Power, Liberation, Beauty, and Resistance,'” by Alexandria Gouveia, Vogue Arabia, March 28, 2019 (thanks to Christian):
Twenty years after becoming a US citizen, Ilhan Omar made history in her adopted country. With her hand on her grandfather’s Qur’an, she was sworn into the US Congress, becoming the first hijabi member to do so. The scene was all the more poignant as it marked the lifting of a 181-year-old ban preventing anyone from wearing any kind of headwear in the chamber. Along with Rashida Tlaib (who doesn’t wear a hijab), she was also one of the first two Muslim women to enter Congress, and the first Somali-American….
As the US representative for Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, one of Omar’s policies includes promoting and establishing a just immigration system; something that is at odds with the current political climate in the country. “It’s challenging,” she says of living in President Trump’s America, where her status and heritage is constantly criticized. “It’s an everyday assault. Every day, a part of your identity is threatened, demonized, and vilified. Trump is tapping into an ugly part of our society and freeing its ugliness. It’s been a challenge to try to figure out how to continue the inclusion; how to show up every day and make sure that people who identify with all the marginalized identities I carry, feel represented. It’s transitioning from the idea of constantly resisting to insisting in upholding the values we share – that this is a society that was built on the idea that you could start anew. And what that celebrates is immigrant heritage.”
Wearing her hijab allows her to be a “walking billboard” not only for her faith but also for representing something different from the norm. “To me, the hijab means power, liberation, beauty, and resistance,” she says. She has a son, Adnan, and two daughters with husband Ahmed Hirsi. Whether her girls, Ilwad and Isra, want to wear the hijab, is up to them, she says. “I grew up in a religious society and my father and grandfather believed that their role was to teach right from wrong. For me, that is how I raise my kids. I work to remove obstacles so they can live at their best and happiest selves,” she says. “If that translates to adapting the hijab, that’s fine. If they don’t, that’s also fine. They have freedom of choice. Society tends to place lots of limitations, depending on what gender you are. I want my kids to be free.” She wants to share this approach with all women, advising them to be themselves. “Walk in your own path. We are as much worthy of joy, power, and pleasure as the next human. We are deserving and we don’t need permission or an invitation to exist and to step into our power.”

She is jihadi she will shill for her jihadi master. she is resisting those who oppose jihad against the west !
If Trump is smart enough , he should pass E.O to ban all terror linked persons from coming to America and those who advocate for them should lose their citizenship and deported as terror agents.
Unless this is done there will be never ending cases . And America will become like canada/EU

The power for women of the hijab is so great under sharia law, that if she takes it off in public, she will be beaten, whipped and stoned to death. Better keep it on recessives or you’ll discover that you are less than a second class citizen, you are a disposable piece of property owned by your male superiors.

To Me, the Hijab Means Power, Liberation, Beauty, and Resistance
Interesting to know that you can feel some empowered in your subservience to authority. But I understand the “Liberation” part- you are liberated from the fear of rape at the hands of Moslem men. Now, you might have to worry about being a victim of honor killing, but hey, given your subservience, that’s probably not a problem for you.
Gad, Omar, your a lousy, rotten, self-absorbed hypocrite. You and your ilk do grave damage to the cause of freedom.

Despite the fact that Islam have been committing barbarities daily around the world for 1400 years, the brand
name Islam ranks in the West alongside Mickey Mouse, Pepsi Cola and McDonald. It’s even portrayed on chil-
dren’s television as the “religion of peace”, and even little girls are told how to wear the hijab properly. If the
Brothers Grimm were still alive, they would include this greatest fairy tale of all time in their famous collection.

In Sweden, eating bacon in front of Muslim women is considered a hate crime. A Swedish man is being prosecuted for a “hate crime” after eating bacon
in front of Muslim women wearing Islamic supremacist headbags on a train
and making so-called “racist” comments (despite the fact that Islam is
not a race).
The man is accused of harassing a group of Muslim women with bacon on a
commuter train. According to the indictment the man waved a piece of bacon
in the faces of the
Muslim women and uttered “racist” comments. He is being
prosecuted for
“racial hatred.” https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/stockholm/man-trakasserade-kvinnor-med-bacon

If you do anything Muslims disagree with it is a “hate crime”.
Hate crimes were one of the dumbest things the elite has come up with.
A crime is a crime. Hate crimes are subjective and it depends on who the “victim’ is.

Thx for your upvote. Yes: people need a choice. And if it’s the choice between two different
shoes. Or parties that pretend to be opponents, but in reality pursue the same politics. This
gives him the illusory feeling of “freedom” and adult responsibility. But even this minimum of
individuality and co-determination is completely forbidden in Islam. There, down to the sma-
llest detail of his private life, man is regulated and instrumentalized just as a soulless robot.

CLOTHING is not FAITH, Omar. Believing IN something/someone greater than yourself, like the real GOD/JESUS or LIBERTY or FREEDOM and then standing on those RIGHTEOUS (free will to love, liberty, giving to others, charity, freedom, etc.) principles knowing that God loves you no matter what, IS FAITH.
PROVING TO GOD THAT YOU ARE WORTH SOMETHING (Jihad, restricted clothing, etc), IS NOT coming from the real GOD. That would be Satan, who steals your joy, steals your sanity, steals your freedom and liberties, and convinces you that IF YOU JUST MURDER OR HURT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU BELIEVE, WILL GET YOU TO HEAVEN. T-H-A-T alone will SEND YOU TO HELL, Omar. YOU, ILHAN OMAN ARE ON YOUR WAY TO HELL.
GOD DOES NOT ENSLAVE PEOPLE TO EVIL OR SIN, TO RESTRICTED CLOTHING, TO OBEDIENCE TO MUSLIM MEN. If God hated others so much, HE ALONE COULD JUST WIPE THEM OFF THE EARTH, like he did in Noah’s day. GOD DOES NOT NEED MANKIND. MANKIND NEEDS GOD AND HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. Otherwise, Omar, you are like a grain of sand in the wind.
SATAN IS LEADING YOU, OMAR and anyone who listens to this woman, is on their way to Hell, as well.

As usual it is the other way around.
“To me, the hijab means power, liberation, beauty, and resistance,” FOR MALES!
Males see “beauty” in oppressing and dominating women and if they over beat them,
they can cover that up too. I think Ms. Trudy should wear on instead of just sucking up to Muslim women..

The only way women under such oppression can have any standing is to vehemently defend it. She is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. They all are. She should not be in our government, but a mental hospital, or a safe house undergoing “deprogramming.”
