Minnesota State House of Representatives candidate Ilhan Omar has made history and been universally hailed as the first Muslim candidate for that office. She may also be guilty of immigration fraud, as she apparently married her own brother, who is not a US citizen, in 2009. But there is no investigation. Why not? Would it be “Islamophobic”?
“Further Investigation Suggests Omar Married Brother,” by Preya Samsundar, Alpha News, August 22, 2016:
Further investigation into social media accounts, news reports, and legal documents support the allegation MN State House of Representatives Candidate Ilhan Omar married her brother, who is not a US citizen, in 2009.
As Alpha News reported last week, Powerline Blog raised some interesting questions about the current state of the DFL candidate’s marriages and the possibility of her committing immigration fraud.
Research by Alpha News suggests that Omar was involved with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (her legal husband) and Ahmed Hirsi (her cultural husband and father of her children) at the same time.
Now Alpha News has confirmed that the legal name for Omar’s father is Nur Said Elmi Mohamed. In 2013, Ilhan Omar wrote an op-ed for the Twin Cities Daily Planet. In the op-ed, she celebrated the creation of a new state within Somalia called Jubaland and spoke of the excitement of the Somali community in the Twin Cities.
Alpha News studied the Jubaland Foundation, which is located in St. Anthony, MN.
During the investigation process, we found a document titled “An open letter on the Formation of the Jubaland State” written by “Concerned Jubaland Communities in Minnesota, United States.”
Signatures #7 and #35 stand out on the document. Mohamed Keynan who is #35, is also the brother-in-law of Ilhan Omar.
Mohamed Keynan Ali married Ilhan’s sister Sahra Noor on December 31, 2008, in Ramsey County, MN.
Alpha News tried to reach out to the Jubaland Foundation, which updated its registration with the Minnesota Secretary of State as recently as May 2016. However, the phone number listed is for a veterinarian’s office.
Alpha News has identified signature #7 to be Nur Said Elmi Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father. In Facebook posts by Sahra Noor and Ilhan Omar, they identify their father as Nur Said. A Facebook profile picture for Nur Said also matches photos posted by Omar and Noor.
In a campaign letter found on Omar’s campaign site, he refers to himself as “Nur Mohamed” and tells voters why they should vote for his daughter Ilhan Omar. A Somali community member speaking under the terms of anonymity has confirmed to Alpha News that Nur Said Elmi Mohamed is the same person as Nur Said/Nur Mohamed and is the father of Ilhan Omar and Sahra Noor. He states that Nur Said Elmi Mohamed shortens his name. This community member also tells Alpha News that he met Ahmed Nur Said Elmi and states that Elmi was introduced as Omar’s brother.
According to our source within the community and an article published by the St. Cloud Times earlier this year detailing how Somali names are chosen, both article and source confirm that:
“Somali children are usually given a three-part name. The first name is a chosen name. The middle name traditionally is the first name of the child’s father. The last name is the child’s paternal grandfather’s first name. Women usually do not change their last name when they marry, so married parents will often have different last names [Ahmed Abdi – SCTimes Reporter].”
Therefore, any of Nur Said Elmi Mohamed’s children’s names would follow this same pattern. Alpha News has learned through a WCCO article written in 2015 on Ilhan Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, that Nur Said Elmi Mohamed had 5 biological children.
Alpha News, through multiple sources and social media, has been able to identify them all. Ilhan Omar and Sahra Noor both came with Nur Said Elmi Mohamed to the United States in the 1990’s, while Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and Leila Nur Said Elmi live in the United Kingdom.
A clear familial resemblance can be seen between Mohammed Nur Said Elmi (right) and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (left).
Scott Johnson of Powerline shares an image from a confidential source that shows Mohammed Nur Said Elmi congratulating his sister Ilhan Omar for her speech in London and announces her intentions to run for office in MN. Again written in Somali, Johnson’s source translate post: “My sister Ilhan Omar made concise and very important speech in London, in that speech she announced that she will run for Minnesota state Representative seat the year the of 2016, I wish her victory, support her.”
Since last Friday when Powerline Blog’s article broke on the potential marriage/immigration fraud, Ilhan Omar restricted access using privacy settings on her Instagram account. All social media accounts related to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi were deleted within the last week. Alpha News has screenshots of the pre-existing accounts. Ahmed Nur Said Elmi used the same handle for his Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn and other social media accounts (@ahmednelmi). Omar, whose Instagram handle is @hameey, has recently made her Instagram public again. However, she has deleted any pictures of her and Elmi from her visit to the United Kingdom in 2015. Screenshots of Elmi and Omar were featured on Powerline Blog and Alpha News….

What the hell is a “cultural husband”?
somehistory says
That is my question, too.
moslims seem to be able to find all kinds of ways to circumvent morality, honesty, codes of conduct and laws of the land.
Rob says
..and then aspire to be law makers.
jayell says
Well, they make it up as they go along, just like good ol’ Mo did all that time ago! Whatever comes into your head, get someone to write it down (especially if you’re illiterate), everyone kowtows to it, then a quick bit of abrogation when you get a better idea, or your mood changes, or it’s no longer convenient. Mo got plenty of practice at it when he was Allah’s ghostwriter.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yeah, she had a legal husband and a cultural husband too? I know a Muslim man may have up to four wives but aren’t Muslim women restricted to only one husband at a time? Wouldn’t a Muslim woman having two husbands at the same time be liable to charges of adultery ……. and what comes with that?
KnowThyEnemy says
I think “cultural husband” means the husband she married according to Islamic law, the law that Muslims actually respect. He is the real husband, hence he is the father of her children.
“Legal husband” is the guy she married according to American law to obtain a marriage certificate. This certificate is recognized in immigration offices but no one cares about this piece of paper in Muslim society.
It is obvious that this whole thing is a fraud for the simple purpose of bringing her brother to US. Kudos to Alpha News for discovering this fraud.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep.
That’s the way I read it, too.
WHY says
a brother is a cultural husband, or anyone else who wants to own her

My brother used to say that vice is nice but incest is best. Fortunately, he was joking!
Guest says
That is just disgusting!
Lioness says
Yea, super creepy. Some muslim men “marry” their daughters. Incest in islam is very commonplace, part of their sick, perverted culture.
WHY says
It can be a marriage for a few hours, too
WHY says
add on multiple wives for fun
J-A palmaer says
Who wouldn’t give up seeing this charming girl smiling? And the silent invasion goes on – it sounds like the book of Exodus, you know, the Angel in the night…like some kind of smoke… I think we can see this as a part of their education – if it is beneficial for the “cause” anything goes. Lying is no problem, according to “The Book”. And other countries regulations and ethical standard is only a stimulation for invasion – sorry, “infiltration” – “The Cause”, the code, is written in “The Book”, so “we can’t be wrong”…we are slaves, serving a “Higher Purpose”…
R Cole says
I thought if there was a connection – it was to the father.
It’s the Islamic marriage scam. Some marry their immediate family members to help them to immigrate. It’s a known fact in Europe. And although Obama has assured the world that US Muslims are better assimilated – it appears to the same ole same ole.
Virtually every marriage between the new Islamic immigrants and their spouses is for a visa – in order to help another – often family member such as a 1st or 2nd cousin immigrate to their adopted country. And sadly it’s generational. And never ending fetching migration.

Scandal
This Somali American elected official – politics aside – has sullied her prospects. To what extent can she really be paraded around as the epitome of successful integration now?
J-A palmaer says
Dear R. Cole
I suppose their aim is to infiltrate, not so much “being married” or live a life under wedlock… So, to summarize, this is a part of their tactics. Maybe they think: “Just get inside, then we will “outnumber the local people by having one child a year “per unit” – as it looks like in Sweden…” The Troyan Horse looked very attractive and mystical, a “present” filled with…what? And in this case, what is this tactics “filled with” – maybe the key-concept will be “outnumber”, since 12% is the critical mass in a population, these things will occur in “the democratic zone”. When this is achieved, the smile will change into an angry grin… What do you think?
Don Rutter says
You have figured it out. The question is how do we erradicate them, since it must be done without due process.
J-pal says
…well, stop supporting their “family-growth-policy”… No support from the social system…as long as they can milk the cows illegally they will also be able to live a good life and increase easily. Education! Strict family planning, etc, etc,…but eradicate – I don’t think it is realistic… I think their tactics and policy about invading democratic zones must be clearly REVEALED what they are doing, without giving any loopholes under cover of “democracy”… what do you say?
Kepha says
As a former US Consular officer, I’ve seen all kinds of likely marriage fraud–the trouble is, it’s very hard to make it stick in a court of law.
And, as for an incestuous brother-sister marriage, this is 21st-century America, where two persons of the same sex may supposedly “marry”. Who are we, at this point, to frown on incest, polygamy, bestiality, or whatnot? Land of the free, home of the perverted, after all.

After the USMC defeated the barbary pirates and found that the peace treaty’s arabic version bore no relation to the one expressed in English, the USA should know that anyting written by a muslim is not to be trusted.

that includes executive orders
