CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. Ayloush himself in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
But fundraising with Hamas-linked CAIR is not career suicide for Ilhan Omar, although if a conservative candidate appeared with an analogous group as unsavory as CAIR, it would be. Omar is vying to succeed Keith Ellison, who has never shied away from CAIR, and never suffered any political fallout for his connections to the organization. CAIR raised large amounts of for Ellison’s first campaign, and he has spoken at numerous CAIR events. This is an indication of how topsy-turvy our political discourse is today.
“Ilhan Omar Fundraises With CAIR In Southern California,” by John Gilmore, Alpha News, August 6, 2018:
House ethics violator and Islamofascist Rep. Ilhan Omar apparently spent the penultimate weekend before the DFL primary for CD 5 not in the district of the Minnesotans she claims to want to represent in Congress, but with her co-religionists and terrorist affiliated CAIR in a three city fundraising tour of Southern California.
A Facebook posting by Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of CAIR, greater Los Angeles chapter dated August 5, show three photos of Omar in what looks like a nicely furnished private residence. He wrote:
“In Anheim (sic), with future Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. CAIR-CA PAC is hosting three events for the MN candidate in SoCal. Ilhan is a genuine advocate for justice and equality. Help elect a principled and intelligent candidate, and the first Muslim Somali American Hijabi woman! (Breaking a lot of barriers)” This is followed by a link, sponsored by Act Blue, to Omar’s Congressional online fundraising site.
In another Facebook post, dated the previous day, Ayloush wrote:
“Dozens of Muslims are running for office and many have a good chance to be elected. They are good candidates with a good record on rights and liberty. If you want to challenge Islamophobia, bigotry, and injustice in out country, then help support those candidates. Your contribution can make a big difference.
One such candidate is Ilhan Omar who is running for Congress in Minnesota for the seat vacated by Rep. Keith Ellison.
Ilhan is a solid rights activist and has a great chance to win. She is visiting Socal this week seeking our community’s support.
We will not let her down. Insha Allah.
Let me know if you are interested in attending any of the three events that the CAIR-CA PAC is hosting for her in Anaheim, Corona, and Covina.
Let’s send Trump and his Islamophobic friends a few nice gifts this election season. Imagine, a Muslim Governor, a few Muslim members of Congress, …This might cure his Islamophobia for good. :)”…
Omar presents herself as just another liberal in a hijab. In fact, she’s in service to CAIR and it’s objectives. Minnesotans should be fully informed about her true nature before making the mistake of sending her to the United States Congress.

No surprise. A moslim is a moslim all of the time, day in ad day out and the evils of islam come first.
it shows in that the creepy aloush is not speaking about the best of things for everyone, but to show President Trump that moslims are everywhere and he can’t do a thing about it.

Yes, some of us know, unfortunately the majority do not, or perhaps care not to know, or are still in denial, or so busy with their own family and jobs they are just plain sleepwalking through life.

“Ilhan is a genuine advocate for justice and equality. Help elect a principled and intelligent candidate, and the first Muslim Somali American Hijabi woman!”
Could’ve just left it at “principled and intelligent” (although I hardly doubt that’s the case), why throw in the extra “muslim, Somali, hijabi, woman”? Because intersectional identity politics — the Left’s favorite game. It’s not enough to be just principled and intelligent, you see, she also has to belong to several victim groups so in case she loses she and CAIR can play the virtue signaling victim card of racism, islamophobia, and misogyny.
Also, those “fundraisers” of hers? Who wants to guess where the money will be going? You have 3 tries.

STEALTH JIHAD — In countries, like the U.S., where Muslims are a very small fraction of residents, worshippers of bloodthirsty Allah have to disguise their ultimate goal of infidel subjugation. PATIENCE IS NECESSARY FOR THE SUIT & TIE COHORT AMONG THEM.
For those of us who have not seen David Wood’s video, “Three Stages Of Jihad”, you can get an explanation of the conquering plan, with citations from the Qur’an and Hadith to show what underlies that strategy.
The video is on the longish side, so be sure to make a chunk of undistracted time available to watch it, and pass that recommendation along to clueless family, friends, clergy, your local MSM evening news station (ATTENTION — EXECUTIVE IN CHARGE).

Not sure comments are working. I tried to post something earlier on this thread, but it did not appear. Let’s see if this comment shows up.

Eduardo, Jihad Watch is still experiencing technical difficulties.

They will probably win in Liberal districts.
Muslims have a great record on Liberty and Human Rights. Giggle.
Walter Sieruk says
The message needs to be made known to all the Muslims who live in the United States of America who dislike and maybe even despise the US Constitution and would like to replace it with Sharia law. Those same Muslims instead in trying to force Sharia law on American citizens and their nation those are free to leave and really should leave the USA and then go to live in either Shii ‘ite, Iran or Sunni , Saudi Arabia if they actually feel the Sharia law is the grand, great and wonderful .
Moreover, all this is a strong reminder of the wise words declared by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech. “There can be no fifty –fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism , only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
J D S says
Those who think that way about our constitution should be forced to leave…….but the problem. IS, the constitution. How can citizens be forced to leave???
gravenimage says
J D S, the Constitution does not say that we have to take in every Jihadist who knocks at our door, nor that those bent on destroying us should be allowed to stay here.

Liberalism is the world’s foremost form of stupidity. Minnesota is a liberal state, so we’re gonna end up with two Moslem congressmen.
