Ilhan Omar Said Something Which Makes Sense

And where did you answer the OP ?
Please consult wikipedia and proceed .

So in other words, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I understand this thread was designed to celebrate your Lefty friend Omar, but it might help to have a basic understanding of Islam before doing so.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a fan of Omar .

Ilhan Omar is a member of the US Congress and a Muslim She is viewed as a far left politician .
Female Genital Mutilation (female circumcision ) is required in Islam .
She publicly called FGM , evil , vile and abhorrent . I agree with her view .
Does this make her an Islamaphobe ?

YES! TOTAL Islamophobe.

After all, one cannot simply disagree with a single tenet of a faith.

I agreed with a Moslem and that is bad ?
Should I have disagreed with her ?

That must make me an omniphobe. I disagree with a little bit of everything.

The hadith in question has Muhammad explaining how to carry out FGM, which kind of negates its absence from the Quran (bearing in mind the gravitas his words have in Islam).

'Muhammed replied: “Yes, it is allowed. Come closer so I can teach you: if you cut, do not overdo it, because it brings more radiance to the face, and it is more pleasant for the husband.”

Absolutely not.

The practice of FGM is barbaric and misogynistic in the extreme.

Sounds somewhat like Muhammad could have been referring to male circumcision.

No sir, it is a recorded discussion between Muhammed and a woman (Um Habiba) who was known for being a practitioner of FGM. - Muhammad asks her if she still practiced FGM, to which she replies "yes", adding: “unless it is forbidden and you order me to stop doing it.”

He doesn't

And then Muhammad proceeded to show the woman how to mutilate little girl's genitalia.

Brilliant religion.

Abhorrent indeed. Of course, Genesis 12 from the bible is similarly abhorrent:

'Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.'

Or is it only the mutilation of female genitalia that bothers you?
