Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Minneapolis Star-Tribune finally mentions perjury allegations against Muslim Congressional candidate, after she wins

Aug 15, 2018 12:18 pm By Robert Spencer

David Steinberg noted in PJ Media Sunday that “Meanwhile, Minnesota’s largest newspapers — along with every other mainstream outlet in the country — just whiffed on covering this: Signed, notarized court documents and time-stamped photos showing the Democratic frontrunner for Minnesota’s highest-profile House seat appearing to commit perjury. The common newsroom explanation, often valid, for having passed on a particular story — ‘we couldn’t independently verify it’ — simply does not apply here. The evidence…against Minnesota state Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-60B) consists of nothing but certified court filings and archived social media posts.”

Last night Ilhan Omar won her primary race, and will almost certainly be elected to Congress this November. And so now that she is out electoral danger, the Star-Tribune has deigned to take note of the evidence against her, but not in a way that many people would notice. In the eighth paragraph down of today’s “Morning Hot Dish” by J. Patrick Coolican, we get this:

Other random thoughts: State Rep. Ilhan Omar won the 5th CD race handily and is on the verge of becoming the nation’s first Somali-American member of the House. But she is also about to face a new level of scrutiny from national and local media, and there’s a fair amount to work with already. David Steinberg at conservative PJ Media, for instance, argues that evidence unearthed in social media posts belie sworn statements Omar made in her divorce filing.

So now everybody’s happy, right? The Star-Tribune and J. Patrick Coolican can claim to have been on the story, as any intrepid objective, nonpartisan journalists would have been. Never mind that they waited until Ilhan Omar was essentially unstoppable in her quest to become a member of the House of Representatives. That is the part that these cynical Leftist propagandists masquerading as journalists hope you don’t notice.

    Muslims don’t lie, they just use scripturally sanctioned information management techniques in aid of their altruistic objective of converting or killing all the kafirs.

        Yes, Fact not fiction! Will anyone ever wake up to what’s happening…….what a minute! Everyone with the ability to do anything about the Islamic situation in America (they want to take over but don’t have the military might to do it…but apparently they don’t need it) knows what’s happening but are just plain COWARDS. They won’t accuse even with TRUTH staring them in the face.

      Pleased to see you thinking along these lines Mac 101. I keep urging that the poison peddlars of Islam be held liable for what their half-wit followers do to others, like for example those caucasian antisemites called Nazis or white supremacists.

      While we may–quite rightly–suspect ill intent here, you cannot bring a newspaper up on charges of treason for not reporting a story sooner.

      • Giacomo Latta says

        Aug 16, 2018 at 4:55 am

        Would you have me believe that all reporters are open-minded and do not have their slant on a story pre-determined before they come across even their first fact of the day? Give me the name of a newspaper or a blog and I can imagine the headlines befor they do. True journalism died long ago.

        • MSimon says

          Aug 16, 2018 at 1:58 pm

          Well who will decide what is an illegal slant? A government bureaucrat?

          You want an easy win (men with guns will fix this). It is better to change minds. It is safer and the effect more durable.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 16, 2018 at 4:49 pm

          Of course not. But that is very different from being able to indict a newspaper for treason for not reporting a story.

    The only difference between an Islamic Terrorist and a ‘moderate’ Muslim is the timeline to achieve their objective.
    The objective is the same for both.
    The terrorist wants to achieve the objective in the shortest possible time.
    The moderate is satisfied with the knowledge that it will be achieved over decades, even centuries.

    The objective is the eradication of all human thought, art, history and governance, and its replacement with Islamic dogma. By any means necessary.

    And Western governments are fully on board, even more so than moderate Muslims.

    We have entered the “fake news media” era. Contemporary media have turned into departments of marketing & propaganda for big business and dirty politicians.
    Minneapolis Star-Tribune understands this.
    New consumers must be imported in order to boost commodity production for an artificially faster growing population. Old people are lousy consumers, with no money to spare.
    Immigrants of the young strong male variant, possess an insatiable thirst for luxury commodities.
    If the current population don’t want to consume, hungry consumers must be imported and supplied with money squezeed out of the old primordial misers.
    That’s why the manufacturers interest in muslim families migrating to he West is so keen – to accelerate consumption of everyday goods and simultanously acquire cheap labour.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 15, 2018 at 6:29 pm

      If Islam takes over in the free West, it is going to–among other things–destroy capitalism and free trade.

      And few Muslims work at all. The idea that they represent cheap labor is disproven every day.

      “Just one in five Muslims are in work…”

      https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4411913/just-one-in-five-muslims-are-in-work-as-report-finds-they-are-held-back-by-racism/

      While the reasons the Sun article gives for Muslims not working is ridiculous, the numbers are quite accurate.

      • dan christensen says

        Aug 16, 2018 at 2:08 am

        You are right, but there are sideeffects at muslim labour import. Alone their presence appears to put pressure om work pay, because artificial jobs are created with state subsidised pay. At least here in my country, Denmark, all asylum seekers are offered these subsidised time-limited jobs. They have not even been granted asylum or residence permit and can’t even speak the language at that stage.
        Later of course, after the residence permit, most of them revert to idleness while continuous receiving benefits higher than national old-age pensioners. With high benefits they constitute the ideal consumers for the manufacturers of goods. That is the whole point with mass migration; not altruism.

        • Joe says

          Aug 16, 2018 at 4:31 am

          I would bet that the strategy is much darker than consumerism.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 16, 2018 at 4:55 pm

          Dan, you are right about jobs being artificially created for Muslim migrants–mostly working with other Muslim migrants, so the whole thing is self perpetuating.

    Marion Barry was filmed smoking crack while he was mayor of Washington D.C.
    Later on he got reelected.

    Depending on how her district was gerrymandered Ihlan Omar probably would have won the primary even if evidence of her fraudulent marriage was revealed earlier. She has too many liberal bonus points; Somali, black, woman, socialist. Her “people” wouldn’t desert her over lying on immigration papers. Nobody cared that Rasmea Odeh was a murderer who also lied on her immigration application. It took years to deport her.

    • aingel strong says

      Aug 15, 2018 at 4:03 pm

      She probably won it just breathing all the time she is a moslem and fits the agenda. WTF do they want these Unlawful Combatants in High Office for we wonder?

  6. aingel strong says

    If they admit this one, they will have to admit there are others, which happens to include a host of non moslem cads as well… Meanwhile some UK cons (note their names) are pointing out “Lord Sheik” was out their in Tunisia with Jeremy Corbyn attending a terrorists get together ..

    I am an adult in Minnesota, and I have noticed big time, and for a long time.

    This place is a cesspool of deceit, cover-up, and The Big Con… To these people, the end absolutely justifies the means, as they say.

    Laws? Rules? Constitution? Bigamy? Polygamy? Polyandry? Immigration Fraud? Welfare fraud? Perjury? Massive theft of taxpayer money?

    …What’s that? …When weighed against getting your Muslim candidate(s) into public office?

    In Minnesota? NOTHING!

    If Ellison should become the next corrupt Minnesota Attorney General, Ilhan Omar becomes the next (c)ongressional representative for Minnesota, Tim Walz becomes the next MN governor, and Steve Simon remains as MN Secretary of State, is is all over for this State. We will be done for..

    …And THEN, I will be leaving, right along with all the others, who have taken their $65 Billion Dollars of personal wealth, and exited this State in just the past 3.5 years, as well as all the Minnesota businesses, which have left – or are leaving – PERMANENTLY!

  13. HugoHackenbush says

    From H.L. Mencken (~1920): “How does so much [false news] get into the American newspapers, even the good ones? Is it because journalists, as a class, are habitual liars, and prefer what is not true to what is true? I don’t think it is. Rather, it is because journalists are, in the main, extremely stupid, sentimental and credulous fellows — because nothing is easier than to fool them — because the majority of them lack the sharp intelligence that the proper discharge of their duties demands.”

    What was said by H.L. Mencken applies today major newspapers of the early 1930s praised Stalin in Russian as he murder millions ,and said Hitler was what Germany needed at that time. The only difference is today news real news come from the internet from many smaller sources the giants in the MSM resent the fact of all the small guys get large followings. If a small guy gets the truth out there and it contradicts the MSM lies he has to be silenced to advance the big boys hold on the peoples minds views and advertising income.

    And their history will say. This is how the Islamic States of America came to be. The original Americans slept, played games, believed everything we said. They thought that they were invincible, that they were incorruptible and smarter than the believers of Allah.
    Look at them now children, you own all they once had.
