'I am legally married to one and culturally to another': How Ilhan Omar desperately (trunc)
daily mail ^ | 7/18/19 | THE SPECTATOR USA'S COCKBURN COLUMNIST

Posted on 07/18/2019 9:06:22 AM PDT by RummyChick

'I'm not legally married to two people, but I am legally married to one and culturally married to another.' That's how Ilhan Omar's campaign spokesman Ben Goldfarb summarized Omar's conjugal arrangements in an email in August 2016, when Omar was running for Congress and her advisers were trying to stifle allegations of double marriage — with a man alleged to be her brother.

I am going to say this again. I have thought about it a lot. There is something weird about Somalis compared to Ethiopians and Kenyans.

I think there is a reality in life which says cultural morality and societal civil law are linked. The cultural morality influences the societal civil law, and the societal civil law then influences cultural morality.

Somalia was a totalitarian Marxist state from 1969 to 1991, and existed in civil war and anarchy from 1991 to 2009, and currently has a corrupt government. In other words, it has had little societal civil law to influence its cultural morality for a half of a century.

What filled the void was a mix of Marxism, Islamism, and most importantly tribalism—bullying, power-based tribalism.

With no solid cultural morality, amorality becomes the cultural norm. Not immorality, amorality. But immorality flourishes in an amoral culture.

In such a society, scamming becomes the norm. Survival requires scamming and scheming to get ahead of the next person. Somalia was like the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max.

Omar’s father’s decision to split up his family, and defraud the U.S. with a fake name was probably the result of a scammer’s mentality. He literally split his family like a blackjack player splitting a pair. He doubled his chances.

Never marrying your husband and father of your children, but marrying your brother for family gain is gaming the system. It is the actions of a scammer. Getting defensive, offering lame excuses and making counter accusations are the actions of a scammer.

The problem with a scammer is it becomes so ingrained, they do not know when to stop. Everything is a scam. Life itself is a scam. It becomes scam or be scammed.

Thanks. Excellent article.

Now I’m curious what role exactly her dad played in the Barre regime. And did they hide that when they came into the US.

Well, obviously they hid it if they were all using assumed names.

You have a confusing typo: not the “Esmi” family, the “Elmi” family is allegedly Ilhan’s true family.

just part of their sick culture.

but we are racist to point out that they are indeed criminals because they are breaking the laws of our country?

Two years ago, she claimed that the marriage to the father of her children was not legal, but the marriage to her brother in 2009, was the legal marriage, but then her brother moved to England, and they never got divorced, but she got back with her first husband and married him again.

Thanks for the catch. To make matters worse, I cut and pasted that info onto about 10 threads that talked about her...

“Culturally married?” What does that even mean?

It means her true husband in the eyes of Allah, was to the man she sired children with. Her first husband.

The second marriage was not a Muslim marriage and only produced a piece of paper from the U.S. Government that allowed her to commit immigration and tax fraud. This marriage meant nothing to her, or to any other devout Muslim. It was a sham "marriage" for the purpose of committing fraud and nothing else.

Old Somali euphemism for incest.

I suspect there was no sex involved whatsoever in her second marriage. It was a means to an end to facilitate tax and immigration fraud and nothing else. She remained "culturally" married to her first husband the whole time and only legally divorced hubby #2 and remarried hubby #1 after authorities got wind of what was going on.

It's so freaking obvious what was going on here and mind-boggling that nobody is taking a serious look at it until now.

Note the author in your second linked (and Omar defending) article, Ibrahim Hirsi, "a PhD student at U of MN." Omar's husband #1, current alleged husband and alleged father of all three of her children is Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi. I don't know if they're related to each other but I wouldn't bet against it. At the least I would expect an honest journalist's report to note the name match and state he was or was not related and if related, how. He ignores it, which I take to be as indicative as when a media article attacks a politician but declines to mention their party affiliation.

These Somali's don't appear to be very good liars. If someone with enough power were to push hard enough, Pelosi and her supporters may start regretting defending her.

Reportedly, Ilhan Omar’s father was a loyalist of Siad Barre in Somali, and their extended family held positions within the Barre Government. Their family left Somali in 1991, the year that Siad Barre’s Government was thrown out of power.

Siad Barre took power through a coup in 1969, and made Somalia into a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship, and a client of the Soviet Union. From Wikipedia’s Siad Barre article: “The United Nations Development Programme stated that “the 21-year regime of Siyad Barre had one of the worst human rights records in Africa.””

Just a few years before the fall of Siad Barre’s dictatorship (1987-89), his Government conducted a Genocide of the Isaaq Clan. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaaq_genocide):

“This genocide also included the levelling and complete destruction of the second and third largest cities in Somalia, Hargeisa (which was 90 per cent destroyed) and Burao (70 per cent destroyed) respectively, and had caused up to 500,000 Somalis (primarily of the Isaaq clan) to flee their land and cross the border to Hartasheikh in Ethiopia as refugees, in what was described as “one of the fastest and largest forced movements of people recorded in Africa”, and resulted in the creation of the world’s largest refugee camp then (1988), with another 400,000 being internally displaced. The scale of destruction led to Hargeisa being known as the ‘Dresden of Africa’. The killings happened during the Somali Civil War and have been referred to as a “forgotten genocide”.

So 1988 and 1989 was when refugee camps swelled with Somalis escaping the genocide of the Leftist Dictatorship in Somalia. But Omar and her family left Somalia in 1991, when the communist perpetrators of that genocide were expelled from power.

I have since read elsewhere that the brother she married is gay, so that also rules out the incest angle.
At any rate, yes, it’s outrageous that she’s not been called out on it.
Somali Privilege.

"Culturally married"?!! We don't practice taqiyya here, and we certainly don't obey your 3rd world Sharia ideology and mentality in American culture. We are a nation of laws backed by the Constitution. If she has committed a felony/felonies she should become very familiar with America's legal system!

Any somalian will win that seat if she gets tossed. Apparently the guy that replaced her in the State government is even worse than she is and gave his victory speech in his native tongue, whatever that is.

If she is investigated and tossed, they’re going to burn that city to the ground and I, for one, cannot wait. Reap what you sow.

Every single bit of this can be laid at the feet of the four occupants of the White House, prior to Donald J Trump.

Sounds a lot like what Omar and her ilk are selling in the House.
