Omar argued that the media uses Arabic names out of a desire for sensationalism, to raise fears. She then laughed about how her professor in a college class on terrorism tensed when saying "al Qaeda" while not showing similar body language when saying "England" or "America." 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

The context in short: Omar said people find it easier to condemn the atrocities of non-state actors like al Qaeda or al-Shabaab than they do the crimes of their own governments. The PBS host mused about why Americans use these Arabic names rather than the less-scary English. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Conservatives have criticized Omar for making light of someone's visceral reaction to al Qaeda and for (possibly) implying equivalence between al Qaeda and the United States. The president turned that into...Omar calling al Qaeda "wonderful" and "great," which never happened. — PolitiTweet.org
