Screenshot of a false X post from a user with the username, “@LauraLoomer” that reads: “When Ilhan Omar says this, she means ‘if a Muslim were investigating me.’ Ilhan Omar, like all Muslims who seek office in our country, want Muslims to control our justice system so they can practice Sharia law and have a sharia system in America. That’s why the first thing Ilhan did upon getting “elected”, she and rashida tlaib created a “Muslim Caucus” in Congress with the support and financial backing of front groups from Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, as I exposed in 2019. This is why I coined the term “Hamas Caucus” for them. The reality is, one of the most radical left, pro-one borders and anti-Trump judges in America approved the search warrant on Ilhan Omar’s house. Once again, she’s lying. That’s literally all these Muslims do. It’s called Taqiyya. I encourage every American to study Taqiyya. The concept of permissible lying in Islam to advance the cause of Islam.”

No Evidence Muslim Politicians Implementing Laws Based on Islam

Claim

All Muslims who seek public office in the United States want to implement Sharia law.

Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib created the “Muslim Caucus” in Congress with support from Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood front groups.  

Original Post

Fact

There is no evidence that Muslims running for office in the United States seek to implement laws based on Islam. 

No “Muslim Caucus” exists in Congress, and there is no evidence that any Muslim member of Congress has ever received financial support from Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood.

Despite over a decade of false Islamophobic allegations, no Muslim member of Congress has ever been prosecuted for having ties to a terrorist organization.
