Yep. But there’s no contradiction there Yasmine. Both overall thoughts (yours and Sarah’s) can be true. And I believe they are.
Sarah agreed w Sarsour’s tweet and you agreed w Sarah...and I disagree w all three of you. It’s never dangerous to criticize a politician. This is not Saudi Arabia or Egypt under Mubarak. What’s dangerous is agreeing w an Islamist that says criticism is dangerous.

Sorry. I think you’re reaching way beyond the intended meaning of my words. And even Sarah’s. Which, I think, only serves to demonstrate my point. Enjoy your day. It’s a lovely Sunday morning here in London

I’ve muted this convo, but luckily someone sent me this. Again. My problem is w Sarsour’s tweet. I do not believe that criticism is DANGEROUS or an incitement to violence. I was surprised you agreed w Sarsour, so I asked you to clarify. No need for the hostility. I sent you a DM.

I never said, and neither did Sarsour in the tweet I shared, that "it is dangerous to criticize" period. I was, and am, specifically referring to that video. I'm baffled, Yasmine, that you believe I could think this, *considering that I criticized her in that very thread*.

That is exactly what Sarsour was saying and what her ilk have been saying for days. When you say ‘I agree w her’ I assume you mean you agree w her. Her point was that criticism of Ilhan puts her in danger. That’s a manipulative way to try to silence criticism of a politician.

Maybe a better phrasing could be 'criticism can be dangerous' most criticism isn't but sometimes it crosses the line from criticism into incendiary language designed not to inspire debate but to incite opposition/hatred.

I have to disagree w/ you, Yasmine. You’re reasoning & condemning via transitive property. That all thoughts flowing from a poisoned tree are therefore poison thoughts. We need to be able to find common ground with people who disagree with us, & ir thinking seems to precluded it

You're ignoring their arguments and rephrasing your position as if those arguments were never made. "Criticism" isn't the problem. Sarah is "criticizing" Omar herself.
