United Nations slammed for tweeting against racism but not Islamophobia

Twitter users pounced on a post from the United Nations decrying racism because it didn’t include “Islamophobia.” “STOP racism, STOP anti-semitism, STOP xenophobia, STOP intolerance, We can all #StandUp4HumanRights and help build a world free of discrimination, hate & violence,” the U.N. posted on Twitter Saturday, sparking immediate criticism for not including racism against Muslims. Twitter users quickly pointed out that discrimination against Muslims wasn’t included in the post, forcing the U.N. to reassure them they are focused on that issue as well. “Stop Islamophobia,” one Twitter user wrote, followed by another user who said, “Stop Islamophobia, stop anti Islam propaganda.”

“We appreciate your comment,” the United Nations account responded several times to people who asked them about Islam. “The UN works to end all forms of discrimination everywhere, including Islamophobia, and promotes equality for everyone.” The U.N. tweet comes after a black man arrested for alleged forgery in Minneapolis, Minnesota, died in police custody in an incident that sparked riots after a video surfaced of a white police officer kneeling on his throat for several minutes. The police officer, Derek Chauvin, was fired from the police department and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Omar's daughter retweets socialist account pleading for help supplying Floyd rioters

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter appeared to express support for rioters in Minneapolis following the controversial death of a black man while in police custody. Irsa Hirsi, Omar’s 17-year-old daughter, retweeted a message from a Minneapolis-based socialist organization, referring to individuals rioting and looting as “comrades.” Hirsi responded to criticism by arguing that she’s an “empathetic” person and denied supporting the riots.

Omar has been a vocal supporter of the riots that broke out following the death of George Floyd while in police custody, arguing that the violence resulting from his death is “warranted.” "Our anger is just. Our anger is warranted," the Minnesota congresswoman said about the riots. "And our priority right now must be protecting one another." Omar is currently fundraising off of the riots, telling her supporters, “It’s time to show up.” Derek Chauvin, the police officer who can be seen kneeling on the neck of Floyd while he laid on the ground during an arrest for alleged forgery, was arrested on Friday for third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
