The terrorist Caucus in the House: Ilhan Omar has exposed the greatest liability America faces
Frontpage Mag ^ | 04/22/2019 | David Horowitz

Posted on 04/22/2019 8:13:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Representative Ilhan Omar is a Minnesota Democrat who has been in Congress four months and, courtesy of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she has privileged access to classified American secrets. Omar recently caused a stir – one of many that have made her a focus of national attention - by describing the attack on America on 9/11, as an attack on Muslims. The 9/11 attack - the worst by foreigners on American soil since the British burned the White House in 1814 - was in fact the work of Islamic supremacists engaged in a global jihad or “holy war.” This war had been unilaterally declared on America – “the land of Jews and Crusaders” - by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist army, al-Qaeda three years earlier.

Omar’s reference to the tragedy that befell Americans in September 2001 was revealing in itself. She prefaced it by complaining that Muslims in America were “second class citizens” who were denied the civil liberties afforded to other ethnic and religious groups. This was one of many lies in her brief comments. Then she invoked the massacre of 50 Muslims at worship by a deranged individual in New Zealand, while failing to mention the recent Muslim massacre of Filipino Christians at worship or the hundreds of attacks by Muslims on other religions since the beginning of the year.[1] Then she referred to the 9/11 atrocity not as an “attack” but as a non-descript event whose real significance was that it led to the creation of CAIR – the Council on American Islamic Relations - which presents itself as a Muslim civil liberties organization, and on whose platform she was speaking.

“CAIR was founded after 9/11,” she said, “because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”[2] The platform on which Omar made these repulsive claims – all of them false – was an organization created by the Muslim Brotherhood, the fountainhead of the Islamist jihad, and its terrorist offspring Hamas. As it happens the Brotherhood is the crucible doctrines that inspired Osama bin Laden and the terrorists responsible for 9/11.[3] Omar has headlined multiple fund-raising events for CAIR, which is still headed by the same individuals who ran the Hamas entities, from which it was created.[4]

Even Omar’s statement that CAIR was created in response to alleged attacks on Muslims after 9/11 is false, since CAIR was created in 1994, seven years earlier. Her statement that all Muslims began losing their civil liberties because of 9/11 is also false – and insulting - since President Bush went out of his way to deny that 9/11 had any Islamic dimension, despite the overwhelming evidence that it did, and to protect the Muslim community from reprisals, which included shipping members of Osama bin Ladens’ family, who should have been interrogated, to the safety of Saudi Arabia for their protection.[5]

The number of incidents of Americans taking out their frustration and anger on Muslims at that time or since – if one considers the circumstances - is quite small. According to the FBI, American Jews are five times more likely than Muslims to be the victims of religious hate crimes – many of which have been incited by the poisonous anti-Israel propaganda spread by pro-Islamist groups like the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as by congresswoman Omar herself.

Not only has Omar keynoted fund-raisers for the Muslim Brotherhood network in America, she has pleaded for leniency for an Egyptian terrorist member of the Brotherhood and for 9 Somali Muslims in her district who attempted to join ISIS.[6] Thanks to decisions made in the Obama White House her congressional district has, in fact, provided the most ISIS recruits of any congressional district in America.)

Omar is not alone among members of the House in her close alliance with terrorist groups. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib recently headlined a fund-raising event for American Muslims for Palestine.[7] This is an organization created and controlled by Hamas which funds the Jew-hatred campaigns of Students for Justice in Palestine on American campuses and spearheads the terrorist-backed Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement that seeks to strangle the Jewish state.[8] Tlaib is an unapologetic supporter of the terrorist regimes on the West Bank and in Gaza.

The Hamas-controlled American Muslims for Palestine is one of the founders of the recently formed U.S Council of Muslim Organizations.[9] This is an Islamist coalition composed of the leading Muslim Brotherhood groups in America. The purpose of the council is to conflate all Muslims with the Islamists – the Muslim supporters of jihad. Shortly after its formation it hosted a “Muslim Advocacy Day” which was attended by Omar, Tlaib and their unwavering ally Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is not a Muslim but a dedicated activist in the Islamist-Progressive Alliance, whose members are united in their hatred of the Jewish state and their solidarity with Palestinian terrorists.

This “unholy alliance” – as I described it a book by that name published fifteen years ago -cseems now to have infiltrated the ranks of the leadership of the Democratic Party.  When Trump criticized Omar’s slurs about Americans’ reaction to 9/11 saying “We will never forget,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi circled the wagons around her, claiming she was the victim and implying that the president was inciting a lynch mob against her.[10] Senator Bernie Sanders, leading in the polls for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination had previously defended Omar when she drew fire for her anti-Semitic attacks on Jews as having dual loyalties and bribing U.S. officials to support Israel. According to Sanders, this was legitimate criticism of the government of Israel: “It is not anti-Semitic,” he said, “to be critical of a right-wing government in Israel.” Now in the wake Trump’s criticism of her attack on 9/11, SanderS wrote: “Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won't back down to Trump's racism and hate, and neither will we. The disgusting and dangerous attacks against her must end.”[11]

These sentiments were echoed in statements of support from all the leading Democrat candidates for president, who elevated Trump’s comment, “we will never forget” into an incitement to violence against Omar because she was a Muslim. In the words of Elizabeth Warren: "The President is inciting violence against a sitting Congresswoman—and an entire group of Americans based on their religion. It's disgusting. It's shameful. And any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it."[12]

As of this writing, there have been 34,887 “deadly terror attacks” by Muslims against Christians, Jews, Yazidis, Hindus, Buddhists, and other “infidels,” which have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.[13] Democrats and progressives seem to think this slaughter of innocents in the name of Allah is not actually the work of Muslims but rather of impostors who have hijacked the Muslim faith while not actually believing its tenets. They cling to this view even though the Quran instructs its followers to “slay the infidels wherever you find them” and specifically prescribes beheading them – “strike them in the neck.” Progressives persist in this self-delusion even though the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas and other terrorist groups are guided by leading Muslim scholars like Sheik Yousuf  Al-Qaradhawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood itself, who claims the Holocaust was God’s punishment of the Jews for their corruption, and will be repeated, “next time, Allah willing, at the hands of the believers.”[14]

Unable to distinguish between peaceful Muslims and Muslim supporters of Islam’s holy war and its goal of Islamic supremacy, progressives like Sanders, Warren and Pelosi conflate the Islamic terror networks with all Muslims. In doing so, they unwittingly serve the ends of the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadists, who are our mortal enemies. Here is the way Qanta Ahmed, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations views Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her claim to represent Muslims:

Rep. Ilhan Omar continues to be an embarrassment and a disgrace for me and other American Muslims with her outrageous, ignorant, anti-Semitic and now anti-American comments. And while Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, holds herself out as a proud Muslim, she repeatedly projects a distorted and patently Islamist interpretation of Islam – a religion that in reality stands for the values of justice, peace and ethical conduct.[15]

As for Omar’s remarks on 9/11:

Omar should be honest. There is no escaping the fact that the atrocities of 9/11 were not simply committed by ‘some people.’ Islamist jihadists were responsible and they came from within the Muslim fold…. Living at the time in the Saudi Kingdom – the epicenter of Islam – as the world learned the identity of the 9/11 terrorists, I wondered how my religion had been hijacked by suicidal killers who claimed they had a religious duty to kill innocents. And I knew from that moment that these murderers would now become the face of Islam for many non-Muslims who know little about a religion with more the 1.6 billion followers around the globe.

The ignorance of the Democratic Party leadership and of progressives generally is the greatest liability America faces in the global war that Islamic supremacists have declared on us. What Ilhan Omar has exposed is the extent to which the Islamists and their secular allies have now infiltrated and seduced our major opposition party. This can only have a crippling effect on our efforts to defend ourselves from the greatest threat to our nation since the end of the Cold War.

The very roots of a free, industrialized West are anathema, 100% antithetical to Islam.
Unable to acomplish their despicable goals individually, Islamics and Marxists coalesced for these unholy tasks.

They are characterized by:
<><> basic tribalism derived from ancient dead cultures,
<><> the tendency to move and act solely for tribal good,
<><> a woeful personal lack of self determination/self actualization,
<><> engaging in activities motivated by guile, venality, malice and hate,
<><> a morbid preoccupation with death and destruction,
<><> an obsession with self-destruction (suicide vests, 9/11 suicide pilots).

Omar belly-ached b/c she received backlash over her belittling of 9/11.

"Odd" she and her kind never extended condolences to the massacred Americans.......

BUT they were hot to trot to build a Muslim center at Ground Zero......
the Muslim demonstration of conquering, of triumphalism.

==================================

There are 50 countries around the world that identify as Islamic.

There's something sinister about this rag-head whining for "civil rights".....
complaining about Christians in a decidedly Christian country like America.

Why do Muslims need America to legitimize themselves?

This rag-head whines about her "challenge" to make sure people feel represented.

Balderdash------Islam is all about "triumphalism".....getting power over infidels.

The word “Islam” means submission.

These people are plotting, lying-in-wait to force submission to Islam and to install Sharia law in our nation.
....using our Congress and our laws.

We cannot rest til these people are unceremoniously kicked out of our country.

Lookit how proud Nancy is of the creepy, evil-eyed, towel-head.
Pelosi obediently put the rag-head creep on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.....bowing to Omar's request.

DEMOCRATS FALL DEEPER INTO ISLAM'S "WE HATE-AMERICA" PIT.

It’s way past time to press charges against that rag-head Somali, Omar, who promotes the “overthrow” (her words)
of a duly-elected American president. There is a limit to her foul political discourse when it rolls into sedition.

Campaign donations from Ilhan Omar rejected by at least 2 Dems
Fox News ^ | April 17 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn
FR Posted on 4/18/2019, 2:14:06 AM by knighthawk

At least two Democrats have reimbursed the campaign contributions made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who has been at the center of numerous controversies since she was sworn in as a freshman congresswoman last January. North Carolina’s 9th congressional district candidate Dan McCready refunded $2,000 to Omar in March after she donated to his campaign last November ahead of the 2018 midterms, WSOC reported Wednesday.

A spokesman for McCready told the news station he’d refunded Omar’s contribution because “he believes there is no place for divisiveness in politics, and McCready did not feel it is appropriate to accept the donation.” Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com …

Here's her replacement in the MINN tate legislature....probably eyeing a run for Congress next.

Meet Mohamud Noor the newly elected Minn Democrat (right)

Minnesota has been Conquered!
Meet Mohamud Noor the newly elected Democrat member who replaced Ilhan Omar’s old seat in Minnesota legislature He was the 1st Somali man to be elected to a State house. Noor didn't feel the need to speak English because his constituency is Somali... (Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com …

FYI--Minnesota’s 5th district---Omar’s district----is known as the “terrorist recruitment capital of the country. Does not look or act American. So that means Somali Muslim practices of clitorectomies, rape, and honor killings that are accepted behavior in “their culture,” should be accepted here......under their law......Sharia law.

Congressional Black Caucus Democrat Cong Jim Clyburn came to Omar’s defense on her anti-Semitism, insisting:
"I've talked to her---she's feeling real pain b/c of her bgrnd." Clyburn said Omar "told him" she was born in Somalia,
and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence, and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the US.

===========================================
Then why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to get her BIL a job?

================================

This creepy Somali Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.Omar has world-wide terrorist connections.

BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.

No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.

What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?

You better believe it, guys.

==================================

A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
How did she get US security clearance in Congress? Did she falsify govt documents?

“...Just look at what the Dem party did to itself since January and then project that FORWARD for another year and a half.

Sane people will only put up with so much lunacy. There actually are sane people left in the Democratic party.

But not for long. Trump’s coalition will grow, among R’s and I’s and especially among FORMER DEMOCRAT VOTERS.

Whoever the D nominee is will face a shrinking coalition as the lunatics continue to flex their muscles & literally drive moderates out of the party. If you think Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer have had a rough several months of it so far, just keep watching.

You haven’t seen anything yet!”
