People have criticized Ilhan Omar, a Rep. of Minnesota because she mocked a video of passengers singing on a plane. The passengers were singing a piece of gospel music. to celebrate Easter at 30,000 feet in the air.

The video footage has been criticized for an "online worship" debate. Omar is a Muslim and retweeted the video saying that she thinks she should hold a prayer meeting the next time she is on a plane. She asked how do people think it would end? A Republican who was earlier a Democrat, Vernon Jones, slammed Omar and asked her why she hated Christians. Jones is an ardent Donald Trump supporter.

A GOP candidate in Minnesota, Cicely Davis, said that Islamic prayers were not a problem; the problem is that Omar hates Jews, Christians, and Muslims.


Royce White, who is another candidate from Minnesota, stated that the Democrats don't believe in god and warned Omar not to disrespect Christianity. The video shows songs about Jesus and a man playing guitar. The man who posted the video gave the caption and said they were taking over the flight for Jesus.

It remains to be seen whether it was a commercial flight, a flight where there were groups of religious people, or the crew gave permission beforehand. However, some people on the flight weren't so amused with the singing and entertainment onboard.

According to some people, the man who posted the video is a pastor and mentions himself as the founder of Kingdom Realm Ministries, a religious organization. The organization is reportedly in Philadelphia, USA.
