One of the most outspoken bigots against Israel, Rep. Ilhan Omar, wants to pass a bill to rid the world of “Islamophobia.”

Omar—whose track record of vicious antisemitic smears includes the outrageous allegation that Jewish Americans "push for allegiance to a foreign country"—has introduced legislation to create a special U.S. envoy to monitor “Islamophobia around the world.”

This, at a time when antisemitism is soaring in America. A just-published survey from the American Jewish Committee found that 25% of Jewish Americans have been targets of antisemitism and that 40% of U.S. Jews have sought to protect themselves by hiding their Jewish identity or limiting their activities.

Tell Congress to VOTE NO on HR 5665—Rep. Ilhan Omar's Islamophobia Bill! Fax Congress now and sign our petition TODAY!

But now Omar, whose moral capital in the fight against bigotry is below zero, has come out swinging against “Islamophobia,” a buzzword hatched by a Muslim Brotherhood-linked group to “beat up” the critics of Islam.

It’s an all-purpose weapon to shut down any criticism of Islam—a religious-political ideology that hates Jews, persecutes Christians, abuses women, brutally suppresses dissent within territory it controls and seeks world domination.

Which is why Omar’s bill is such a dangerous idea ... and why friends of the Jewish people and Israel must vigorously oppose it. Please sign the petition to House leaders calling on them to “Defend Free Speech—Reject Ilhan Omar’s Bill to Silence Islam’s Critics.”

CIDI is aggressively working to STOP the establishment of a special U.S. envoy to document “Islamophobia around the world” because it is an obvious ploy to support antisemitism using government resources! It’s just one more example of radical Islamists trying to turn America’s love of freedom against itself.

You and I, as friends of freedom and the Jewish people, must speak out NOW. That’s why I am asking you to act immediately by signing the petition and sending a fax urging House and Senate leaders to “Defend Free Speech—Reject Ilhan Omar’s Bill to Silence Islam’s Critics! VOTE NO ON HR 5665"!

Thank you for standing with God’s chosen people at this urgent hour! ONLY YOUR SUPPORT allows us to continue to fight for Israel in Washington, D.C.’s halls of power and around the world. Please, consider giving generously to support our God-given cause today.

Finally, please continue praying for Israel and its people, as well as for America’s leaders.
