Is that a threat or … ? Ilhan Omar’s response to tweeter who mentions adultery comes off as pretty absurd — and pretty darn violent

At yesterday’s White House COVID19 press briefing, Donald Trump warned of a very difficult two weeks ahead:
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar responded with praise for Allah:
That prompted one tweeter to respond to Omar with this passage from the Quran:
"Nor come nigh to fornication/adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)."
— Qur'an, Sura 17 (Al-Isra), ayat 3

Omar responded with another:
“And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever. They indeed are the Faasiqoon (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)”

[al-Noor 24:4].

Oh dear.
Uhhh.. Look up the meaning of "chaste" and I am pretty sure you are not counted among those who meet that criteria.
See Ricky G.'s other Tweets

Aside from the laughable notion that Ilhan Omar is chaste, though, her response seems … pretty violent.
Rep. Omar with all due respect, as a fellow Muslim, I don't think we should be promoting lashing or corporal punishment, especially as an elected official who represents a diverse set of believers and non-believers.

Seriously Congresswoman? You’re a US lawmaker, considering ISIS & other Islamists have only recently implemented such scripture with horrific results, how appropriate do you think it is for you to be publicly citing this passage advocating lashing other human beings, so publicly?

Yikes.
Honestly, it’s all bad. The whole thing.
Heh.
Seriously, though. Ilhan Omar’s gotta go on The List for sure.
