Repeat after me: yallah. YAH-luh. This versatile Arabic word means everything from “hurry up”, to “come on” to “speak to you later”. If you add a “bye” at the end, the meaning shifts to “please shut up, fool” or “speak soon friend,” depending on your intonation.
Next up: wallah. wa-LAH. Again, the definition changes depending on context and cadence. It can mean everything from “no way!” to “Iswear to God.”
What exactly am I doing here? Helping to prepare you for the Arab and Muslim takeover of the US, of course. Now that Abdul El-Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants, is going to become the first Muslim senator in the US, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is going to say “ yallah bye” to western civilization.
“Ihope everyone is learning Arabic,” Laura Loomer, the informal Trump adviser and rightwing personality announced on X Tuesday night . Don’t worry, habibti , if people won’t learn by themselves, we’ll send them to re-education camps. And after that, we’re going to make good on El-Sayed’s threat to implement “ shawarma law ”.

So I would like to send everyone mourning the midterms my thoughts and sharia prayers.
Poor old Loomer, in particular, seems in need of prayers at this time; she is having a very public crisis of faith. “If God is in charge, why did he let our country get taken over by Muslims and communists?” she tweeted on Tuesday night. She then fired off almost 100 other X posts lamenting the “Islamic communist takeover” of the US and calling for a “ full Muslim ban ”.
Loomer is a professional racist and self-described “ proud Islamophobe ”, so it’s not surprising that she’s short-circuiting over a highly accomplished brown man getting elected to the Senate. But it’s worth stressing that plenty of more “respectable” people have been foaming at the mouth about El-Sayed and the handful of other Arabs and Muslims who were elected in the midterms. This morning, CNN asked the newly victorious Texas Democrat James Talarico if he was prepared to stand up to El-Sayed, stating “there are a lot of things he believes in that you might not share”. Last week, David Frum, a senior editor at the Atlantic, urged Democratic leadership to “curb the ugliest instincts of a Senator el-Sayed”. On Monday, James Kirchick, a former contributing writer to the Atlantic, called El-Sayed an “ Islamist ”.
