Every American, including Rep. Ilhan Omar is entitled to the presumption of innocence. The evidence uncovered so far appears to support the conclusion that she is guilty of multiple crimes. They include marrying a sibling, immigration fraud, tax fraud, perjury and polygamy.
But then again, we might be wrong.
It is possible that the evidence (though it includes pretty specific documentation) is wrong. Maybe we have taken a number of things out of context. Or perhaps we don’t understand the distinction between a legal and a cultural marriage. That may apply to divorce as well. Normal Americans have difficulty understanding where Sharia Law ends and U.S. laws begin. How does common law fit into this? Which law takes precedent in cases like this? It is confusing indeed. That’s precisely why Rep. Omar should be given an opportunity to clarify things.
She should be given her day in court.
The countdown to that day begins with our Attorney General William Barr. Bill Barr has already demonstrated a no-nonsense approach and a deep commitment to the rule of law. He knows well that we cannot have groups of people who believe that they can pick and choose which laws apply to them and which do not. Barr also knows that the law teaches. The Omar case represents an important opportunity to teach and clarify these points.
Failure by the Justice Department to investigate this would send dangerous signals. Too many Americans already believe that there are two standards of justice. One for the powerful, connected people and the other for everyone else. It is also important to clarify things for immigrants and refugees. One of the reasons they wanted to come to the United States was to live in a country that respects the rule of law. Many of them fled systems where the law was whatever the powerful people said it was. There was no presumption of innocence, no equal justice under the law. Attorney General Barr has an obligation to uphold those principles.
Rep. Omar has enjoyed the benefits of being both an American citizen and a member of a protected class. She quickly learned the word “entitlement." Coming from the grinding poverty of a refugee camp to Minnesota, she and her family received housing, food, healthcare, education and cash. All free! Hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits, all paid for by hard-working Minnesotans. Whether she learned the meaning of the word “gratitude” is not so clear.
It didn’t take her long to learn to demand her “rights." Not wanting to offend her or her people, Minnesotans bent over backwards. She learned how to gain and yield political power, first in the Minnesota Legislature and then in Congress. She learned how to utilize her protected class status to great advantage. Cowing political adversaries and even the once-respected Minneapolis Star Tribune who sat on this story for over two years.
Unfortunately she also learned that she could blur the lines between different versions of law. If she found protection under Sharia law, then she applied that. Where U.S. code afforded her rights, she demanded them. But, when it came to laws with which she disagreed (like marriage and immigration laws) she acted as if they didn’t exist. We see this in her public statements about ICE and illegal immigration.
All of these are reasons why this is such an important teaching moment for General Barr.
He needs only to make a call to the U.S. Attorney in Minneapolis, Erica MacDonald, and suggest that she open an investigation. Knowing Bill Barr’s propensity for avoiding grandstanding, he may have already made that call. It shouldn’t take long for a couple of FBI agents to determine if there is enough credible evidence to present to a grand jury. If there is not, they could issue a simple statement: the case was investigated and found unworthy of prosecution.
Case closed.
However, if the evidence merits, Rep. Omar should get her day in court. The public rightly expects better answers than we have so far received. Equal justice and the rule of law must be defended. She deserves the chance to explain her side of this sordid story.
Her brother is also gay.
Why are we importing people from a country where the average IQ is 68?
DJ FRISAT ASTUTELY RESPONDS: it's not difficult and not confusing. This is America. This is OUR government
We have laws established by our legislators that we have approved. Sharia law is not part of our justice system.
We might also add.......attempts to substitute Sharia law for US law must be seen as a calculated
attempt to overthrow the US government and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of US law.
======================================
ACTION NOW:
AMERICANS DEMAND AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, REGULATIONS, RULES,
A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ENSHRINE IN US LAW THAT
all attempts to substitute Sharia law for US law must be seen as a calculated attempt
to overthrow the US government and is to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of US law.

-——I never saw any of them smiling or laughing. ——
They live in Minnesota. No wonder they aren’t happy
Normal Americans do NOT accept honor killings, rape and beheadings as acceptable behavior.
The rats 🐀 want to change the voting demographics.
Shocker: Rep Omar declined to respond on rampant terrorism recruitment in her Congressional District.
She’s commented about everything else to make herself look good. Rampant Somali terrorism recruitment in her district obviously doesnt advance her agenda.
Taxpayers demand to know if terrorism recruitment is being financed with stolen tax dollars. Read on
MINN SOMALIS STEAL $300 MILLION TAX DOLLARS——The Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?
Center of the American Experiment ^ | May 14, 2018 | John Hinderaker
FR Posted on 5/15/2018, 9:24:53 AM by 2ndDivisionVet
Fox 9 television uncovers a far-reaching scandal: last year, more than $100 million in cash left the Twin Cities airport in carry-on luggage, bound for the Middle East and Africa: This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on. On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms. Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.
Where does the money come from, and where is it going? It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home.
[Former Seattle police detective Glen] Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.
But the real scandal is where the money came from in the first place–welfare fraud:As Kerns dug deeper, he found that some of the individuals who were sending out tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of remittance payments happened to be on government assistance in this country. How could they possibly come up with such big bucks to transfer back home? “We had sources that told us, ‘It’s welfare fraud, it’s all about the daycare,’” said Kerns. *** Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses.
“It’s a great way to make some money,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said In order for the scheme to work, the daycare centers falsely signed up low income Somali Muslim families that qualify for child care assistance funding.Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center, only to leave with them a few minutes later. Sometimes, no children would show up.
Either way, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare.Video from that same case shows a man handing out envelopes of what are believed to be kickback payments to parents who are in on the fraud. Evidently welfare fraud in various forms is widespread in Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community. This is, I think, generally known, but the scale of fraud disclosed here is astonishing:
“We believe that there’s a scope of fraud out there that we really need to get our arms around and ensure that those dollars are going to kids that really need them,” Acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services Chuck Johnson said.
He told the Fox 9 Investigators his agency has 10 daycares currently under active investigation for fraud. Fox 9 has learned dozens more are considered suspicious. Search warrants obtained by the Fox 9 Investigators show each one of the suspect centers has received several million dollars in childcare assistance funds.
According to public records and government sources, most are owned by Somali immigrants. *** Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money.
The fraud is so widespread they said, that people buy shares of daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. Government insiders believe this scam is costing the state at least a hundred million dollars a year, half of all child care subsidies.

LOL, This reminds me of ET
Normal Americans have difficulty understanding where Sharia Law ends and U.S. laws begin.....I do. Once you step off the boat or canoe that brought your 80 IQ ass here, Sharia law ends.
“She will NEVER be touched. Take that to the bank’
Al Capone said the same thing “it was the taxes” that got him.
First we would have to find an unreasonable prosecutor.
Comey has told us that no reasonable prosecutor would indict a Democrat.
Not just the rats, Bush League Republicans are equally responsible.
GHW Bush began the importation of Somalians and also began the 30 year policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders.
His son continued that policy and Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio are STILL working on the final amnesty to complete the Bush Plan for North Mexico.
She deserves nothing she is not an American citizen because she entered under false pretenses 12 years old or not adults were involved with this scam. She has no rights they circumvented the law, she needs to be deported
Anyone who knows anything about Sharia Law knows the difference between Sharia and our Law is the difference between sauerkraut that's gone bad and delicious homemade ice cream...
....good analogy....
Oklahoma passed a law baring any use of Sharia law in their courts and Federal Courts ruled it unconstitutional. Not an easy battle if people continue to except Federal District Courts as the final authority and as far as I can see they do, even here in Freeper Land.
An article has been published in the Nashville Tennessean and folks need to go read it. It talks about "copycat" legislation being passed across thousands of locales banning the implementation of Sharia Law. The main thing I wanted to point out is that this long article gives almost NO information on what Sharia Law actually entails, but is only bent on saying that people are discriminating against muslims.
Logically, why would one implement a law system that directly contradicts in many ways the present system of law? Why implement a system of law that allows cutting off hands and beheading for punishment when the present system does not allow that? And, many other things in Sharia Law do not work with our system. So, why try to get that established? Takeover. That is all it could be. And, the media that publishes this trash is advocating for such. The media IS the enemy when they do that. It is time to bring this stuff to a screeching halt and punish people who try to get Sharia Law passed. No more. We're not going to do it.
===========================
...the article mentions the self-serving Muslims believe THEY are suffering discrimination in the US........
but there's NO mention that Sharia Law would mitigate discrimination against the unruly bunch....
or even be beneficial to those of us who live here who do NOT (and will NOT) live under Sharia law......
There are 50 countries around the world that identify as Islamic.
There’s something sinister about the bunch whining for “civil rights”.....complaining about Christians in a decidedly Christian country like America.
Why do Muslims need America to legitimize themselves?
They whine about making 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.
