A Freudian slip is embarrassing because for an instant something we hide is revealed to others. Maybe it’s suppressing bigoted and prejudiced feelings that we know are unacceptable in the wider society, but in a moment of stress and thoughtlessness, this dark side of who we are pops out.
Recently, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN-D) had her own Freudian slip. I’m calling it her “Hijabi Slip,” because it relates to her confessions of deep Islamic religious piety. The slip appeared on her Twitter feed reacting to one from a Retawa Agnihotri, who quoted from the Qur’an.
Agnihotri tweeted, “Nor come nigh to fornication/adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).” (Quran 17: 32)
She was apparently alluding to accusations of marital and sexual improprieties against Congresswoman Omar that she had denied. This is the history. In October, 2019, Omar filed for divorce from Ahmed Hirsi, the father of her three children. They had been separated since 2008. While separated, she married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, but got a divorce later through their Islamic traditions. There were allegations that Omar married Elmi, “her brother,” in order to grant him an immigration status.
Last month, Omar announced her new marriage to Tim Mynett, a political consultant who worked for her. Prior to this the couple was accused of having an affair.
Those matters imply a division between Omar’s reality and appearance. The congresswoman’s response to the Islamic accusation from Agnihotri is her Freudian slip. Omar, like most Muslim politicians in the U.S, poses as thoroughly modern, secular, and politically progressive.
She is so adept at this game that “the Democratic Party has become the party of Ilhan Omar.” Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could not chastise her for her anti-Semitic tropes.
However, a different image appears in her tweeted response to Agnihotri. She did not reply with a secular western defense based on American cultural norms. Instead, Omar shot back what sounded more like a Salafi jurist in an Islamic state.
She tweeted, “And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever. They indeed are the Faasiqoon (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allah).” (Quran 24:4)
This drives to the heart of the issue: To what degree is a person, like congresswoman Omar, hiding deeply held religious beliefs for her political expediency?
Imagine if a Jewish Congressperson, when in a conflict regarding the Sabbath, chastising by using the scriptural injunction that those violating the Sabbath should be stoned to death (Numbers 15: 32- 36).
I am not in any way endorsing a “McCarthyite” Muslim scare that alleges loyalties to foreign powers in Congresswoman Omar or in Muslim politicians. I am, however, pointing out that some Muslim politicians have double-sided thinking and personalities. One side presents a secular Western persona when it is expedient. The other side harbors convictions that are hostile to American values and social norms. Omar’s Hijabi Slip exposes a deeper truth about how she thinks, and what she really believes.
It is fair to say that Congresswoman Omar has disappointed many American Muslims who want a better image of Islam in the American public. Her duplicitous behavior reveals U.S. Islamists at work to radicalize American Muslim communities and normalize Sharia law in America.

For a woman on her 4th marriage at age 38 I’m not seeing the deep religious piety here. It’s a façade at best.
Well, her Sharia piety is clearly expressed in her ‘Sharia for thee, but not for me’ attitude. But we all know that at their very core, Leftists are hypocrites.
no self control
needs sharia
According to her own religion she is a whore that deserves to be stoned.
Omar may be able to quote the Sharia law but she certainly doesn’t live it. She is a sociopathethic liar. She cheated on her husband and married the help. She is wallowing in her celebrity prerequisites. She is the last person on the earth to preach to us.
“Chaste”?!?
…that’s some real chutzpah right there.
islam is a violent, primitive death cult. It has no business anywhere near civilized people.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN-D)is just another cheating, philandering, adulterous, and lying WHORE.
Because she is an ultra left, socialist Democrat, and hater of Israel, she gets a free pass from the media and Democrat Party.
WHERE is the condemnation and investigation of this lying trollop? If she truly represents the Somali community in Minnesota then they are no better.
I would get a political PAC to carpet bomb the Minneapolis airways with attack ads targeting her and her phony devout Muslim act. The goal would be to ruin her reputation and erode her support.
When you demonstrate such unscrupulous and unprincipled conduct and speech...it doesn't matter what you say or do. You make yourself irrelevant.
She lied to get into the country, her name isn’t even really Omar.
She lied and committed bigamy to fraudulently get her brother a green card.
Strip her of her ill-gotten citizenship, deport her back to her beloved Somalia, they’ll know what to do with her according to her faith tradition.
Give her Shria, send her home to be executed for adultry. She falsified her immigration application and is not a legal citizen anyway.
“I am not in any way endorsing a “McCarthyite” Muslim scare that alleges loyalties to foreign powers in Congresswoman Omar or in Muslim politicians.”
Virtue signaling pussy
Joe McCarthy was correct.
And every Muslim believer is a danger to America.
I just finished reading “Infidel” by Ayan Hirsi Ali. As you might know, she’s also a Somali who has rejected Islam and is one of Europe’s western culture’s biggest defenders against Islamists. She lives under guard because of constant Islamist threats against her.
Her descriptions of the violence of Somalia, and the total disconnect in her childhood about the pressure to be a “strict” Muslim, oppression of women, and then the fakery to conform to Islam, while at the same time pursuing one’s own self-interest, made me think of Omar and her hypocrisy the whole time.
I can’t believe we allowed these people into the country.
What is the hadd punishment for incest? Can there be any repentance from that?.
Answer
Zina with a mahram relative is a graven sin that zina with a non-mahram, because it is severing the ties of kinship, and an act of aggression against those with whom we are enjoined to uphold ties of kinship. Hence some of the scholars are of the view that the one who commits zina with a mahram should be executed in all cases, whether he was married or unmarried. This was narrated from Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him). The majority are of the view that he should be subjected to the hadd punishment; so if he was married he should be stoned and if he was not married he should be given one hundred lashes, even though his sin is greater.
She married her brother. Her brother should receive 100 lashes, which would likely kill him.
After talking with those who work closely with that community, multiple marriages and divorces aren’t terribly uncommon.
It’s bizarre to those of us who see marriage from a Judaeo-Christian perspective. Years ago, when I heard of how they seem to be often rearranging marriage and families I thought it would have more to do with welfare or immigration benefits. Perhaps, though, it’s just part of the Somali culture?
