Ilhan Omar's diminutive words "some people did something" were more than just a slap in our American faces; these words were salt on the gaping 9/11 wound that will never heal for as long as we shall call ourselves American. But concentrating on the pain of our wound has led us to ignore the larger problem before us: why did Omar downplay Islamic terrorism against Americans while simultaneously decrying terrorism against Muslims abroad? Why did Omar lie about CAIR? What is the driving force behind Ilhan Omar?
Every word out of Ilhan Omar's mouth from her speech at CAIR was an affront to Americans, and the story she is selling is an Islamic terrorist white-wash lie.
"CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties," Omar said.
Islamic terrorists ("some people") killed thousands of Americans in the name of Islam ("did something") for their Muslim leader Osama Bin Laden, who CAIR, a designated terrorist organization with ties to terrorists throughout the world, tried to shield from American bad press prior to the attacks and defended as innocent following the attacks. (There, I fixed it for you, Ilhan.)
Why did Ilhan Omar say these words? Why did she lie? What is her motivation? We need to review the CAIR speech as a whole, we need to judge the words in their full context.
Omar began her speech at CAIR by decrying the recent terror attack against Muslim worshippers in New Zealand mosques. “So we are coming off a tragic, tragic nightmare that has happened to Muslims in New Zealand,” she lamented. Omar then went on to explain how Muslims are victims of discrimination following 9/11, describing the Islamic terrorist attack on America as “some people did something.”
Compare Omar's two terrorist act descriptions from the same speech. An Islamic terrorist attack killing 3,000 people on American soil while injuring an additional 6,000, people of all faiths, creeds, and colors, amounts to “some people did something.” But a non-Islamist terrorist attack killing 50 Muslims abroad is “a tragic, tragic nightmare.” Doubly "tragic," you see, when Muslims are the victims, but just "something" when Americans are the victims.
All terrorist murders, irrespective of motive, are heinous tragedies, evil deeds, that should be condemned, punished and proactively prevented. But diminishing a treacherous assault on the countrymen to whom you have sworn allegiance, while at the same time paying respect to a tragedy abroad, is highly suspicious. It is even more dubious when you do this on behalf of terrorist sponsor CAIR, while simultaneously lying about CAIR's origins.
CAIR was founded in 1994 by Hamas terrorist sympathizers. Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization in the United States. CAIR is directly tied to Hamas. CAIR is a designated terrorist organization in the United Arab Emirates. Since its inception as a white-collar version of Islamist supporters, CAIR has been actively involved in white-washing Islamic terrorism. They engage in liberal politics to create false sympathy for their cause, slyly slandering reporting against Islamists as "hate" and designating themselves as victims of American prejudices. For those unfamiliar with Hamas and how they operate, lying and manipulating politics is their modus operandi. CAIR simply follows suit.
Since Hamas is primarily concerned with promoting a fully Islamic Middle East and destroying Israel, CAIR is typically involved with anti-Israeli / pro-Islamist politics. In 2014, for example, CAIR was at such a rally in Florida, screaming "let's go Hamas, we are Hamas, we are Jihad!” while holding up Holocaust denial signs and calling Israel a terrorist state. Indeed, the majority of CAIR activities are anti-Israeli and anti-semitic in nature, going so far as to blame Jews for 9/11 attacks.
Following 9/11, CAIR started a campaign of conspiracy theories about the origins of 9/11. Al-Haj Ghazi Khankan, Executive Director of CAIR's New York chapter, claimed that the attacks were not perpetrated by Osama Bin Laden or by Muslims, but were in fact performed by “impersonators” who gained a benefit by blaming Muslims. These conspiracy theories have thrived in Muslim communities and are alive and well today. Ilhan Omar's full speech at CAIR is of rather chilling similarity to the conspiracy theories perpetuated by CAIR right after the 9/11 attacks, as are Omar's relentless anti-semitic fits.
CAIR senior operatives have been convicted of terrorism-related offenses in the U.S. and have been sentenced to prison time for their activities. The DOJ named CAIR as a co-conspirator in a criminal case against terrorist supporters in the U.S. An FBI agent testified that CAIR was a front group for terrorist organizations operating in the U.S. CAIR board member Abdurahman Alamoudi was sentenced to 23 years imprisonment for directing at least $1 million to al-Qaeda. This is the same al-Qaeda that Ilhan Omar pronounced with a proud, puffed out chest, and the same Islamist terrorist organization that was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, orchestrated by Osama Bin Laden. Oh, and about Osama and CAIR – prior to 9/11, CAIR tried to help Osama Bin Laden be viewed in a favorable light after he orchestrated multiple terrorist attacks against Americans, and after 9/11, CAIR covered for Bin Laden, calling him innocent.
Ilhan Omar has spent her time in politics actively advocating on behalf of dangerous Islamic fundamentalists. Omar voted against a bill that denies life insurance benefits to radical terrorist policyholders who kill Americans. She has tweeted support for an Egyptian prisoner with terrorist ties. She submitted a letter on behalf of an ISIS member, asking a U.S. judge for "compassion" at sentencing. Omar has been raising money for terrorist front groups. She blamed the U.S. for "our involvement in other people’s affairs" as the cause of the Islamic terrorism that killed 70 people and wounded 200 in Kenya – which is strikingly similar to the language used by CAIR to blame the U.S. for inducing the 9/11 Islamist attacks.
Ilhan Omar has never apologized for her language. She has not made any attempt to distance herself from CAIR or from terrorism. Ilhan simply plays a victim card, straight out of the Hamas political playbook.
Democrats and liberal media have come to Omar’s defense, claiming she is entitled to speak freely and that criticism of her statements is endangering Ilhan Omar’s safety. Conservatives balked at the ridiculous double-standard, the attempted suppression of criticism. Yet all were left to ponder unanswered questions about Omar’s speech. Is she simply misunderstood, like CAIR claims to be?
I think President Trump knows exactly the evil that Islam is and he is a doer rather than a talker. After he wins the 2020 election it would not surprise me if he takes on this scourge head on.
She took the oath on the Koran. That’s all you need to know. Their Mantra is still....”Kill All the Christians and Jews”.
“this woman is a puppet for CAIR”
Agreed-
and her “Staff” will have access to everything.
Leaks? you ain’t seen NOTHING yet!
I don't think anyone who knows Islam is missing anything about Ilhan Omar.
She is a CAIR operative (that explains her positive chatter about CAIR).
She is a devout Muslim (that explains her grief at attacks on Muslims) who sees non-Muslims as less than human (and that explains her failure to be moved by Muslim terror against them).
Bottom line: This author took over 1800 words to explain the above (and didn't).
In all due respect to you, Kaslin, the above article is a waste of valuable time.
That said, one valuable thing to be gleaned from this article is that good online magazines, like Townhall, American Thinker, American Spectator, and The Federalist, need to consider reintroducing the job of "editor" to their industry. A good editor would have tossed this article back to the author and told her to come back when she had somethnig to say.
In 2019 any Hypenated American should not be in congress.
Use of the prehyphenate descriptive demonstrates dual loyalties and the user has avoided the melting pot.
“Why did Ilhan Omar say these words? Why did she lie? What is her motivation? We need to review the CAIR speech as a whole, we need to judge the words in their full context.”
Even SHE can’t answer that.
She’s a terrorist wind-up toy, programmed, bought and paid-for.
Why is this invasive , occupying enemy in our political structure?
Islam’s core goal is a global caliphate. To do that they have to erase every other political structure in Islams way.
She is just one of their agents working at the supplantation of the American constitution and at the highest level, from congress!
Because she’s an enemy islamist.
Hussein Obama called Jihad : Work place violence...
How queer that President Obama attacked Christian opposition to same sex marriage as the cause of the bisexual Obama voting jihadist terrorist attack in Orlando.
Seems anti-American muslims don’t let a crisis go to waste.
Correct. Make her own up to what it means. Dig. Ask her specific questions.
Another islamic lawmaker was caught talking about rolling his or her eyes in classroom lectures about al qeada “terrorisists”
She is a moslem, therefore she is s terrorist.
Once you read their scriptures you find that there is no other option. They are COMMANDED to kill us all.
I have yet to see anyone stick a mike in her face and ask her which takes precedent, our Constitution or her sharia law. She must be forced to answer this simple question. She took the oath of office and swore to defend the Constitution, but her actions speak louder than her words. She cannot serve two masters. She will love one and despise the other. She has been conditioned since birth to obey sharia law. Her alligence to Islam is beginning to seep out of every pore of her body. It will only get worse as she continues to probe the limits of what she can get away with.

OMAR "CAIR"IES ON IN LA (speech to CAIR)
Powerline ^ | 24 Mar 2019 | Scott Johnson / Posted on by Rummyfan
Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar appeared as the featured fundraiser for the CAIR Los Angeles chapter in Woodland Hills last night. CAIR is of course the fake civil rights organization and Muslim Brotherhood front/Hamas affiliate. Omar did not disappoint. She CAIRied on in her accustomed fashion. Omar, incidentally, told a mythical CAIR founding story in her remarks last night. I have posted the video below.
Toward the end of her remarks last night (at about 18:00), Omar alluded to her criticism of Saudi Arabia in connection with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Omar presented herself as a neutral critic of all countries that abuse human rights. I think she has missed quite a few so far, and she has certainly missed the heart of the subject when it comes to Saudi Arabia. If this was also intended to explain her focus on the Jewish state, it fell a bit short. Omar is a raving Islamist supporter of BDS with a focus on the alleged failings of the Jewish state, but she isn’t too crazy about the United States either.
Omar compared her own experience in Congress so far to that of Muhammad. And that’s not all. Moses was in the mix too. “We might be headed to the promised land of speaking the truth,” she proclaimed, “and finding our external liberty once we internally liberate ourselves.”
As always, however, Omar portrayed herself — a Somali Muslim refugee to the United States from a Kenyan camp — as a victim. “Here’s the truth. Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen,” Omar said. “Frankly,” she declared, “I’m tired of it and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it.” At around 11:30, she depicts the denial of hospital services to herself and other Muslims. She conjured a parade of horribles.
Omar also presented herself as a messenger of love, but she is an ardent hater. I commented on her love shtick in this RCP column. The video is 21 minutes long. It’s a slog. Omar is an attractive woman until she opens her mouth. Listening to Omar is not a pleasant experience. It is an ordeal. I can only say that attention must be paid.
=========================================
The word “Islam” means submission.......these people wants us to submit to Islam and to install Sharia law in our nation.
There are 50 countries around the world that identify as Islamic.
There's something sinister about them needing America to legitimize themselves (this according to Omar).
Clearly, they have a hidden agenda........one that is not compatible in a republic such as ours.
No one here will ever allow themselves to be dictated to by Christian haters Omar, Tlaib and the rest.
========================================================
These haters use the crutch of their so-called religion to hate Jews and Israel.
Judaism as a religion is not trying to subvert the Constitution
Judaism does not destroy others who are not of their faith.
Judaism as a religion is not homophobic, misogynistic, bigoted, or violent.
Jews contributed to American values.
Judaism is not trying to destroy the USA.
================================================
Omar’s speech urged the Islamic rag-heads to “raise hell,” get in stranger’s faces, and “make people uncomfortable.”
This stupid fool thinks she's in the Third World. They try that gambit here.....we call the cops.
One word - Islam!
To do everything in her power that will aid in the destruction of the United States of America. To further the cause of islam. To replace Constitutional Law with sheria law.
Ditto dat!!!
Yep!!!
The only correct response would be for Pelosi to demand her resignation.
