How can Ilhan Omar possibly justify opposing this bill? She won’t have to. No establishment media “journalist” would dream of asking her about it. She has a free pass to do anything she wants to do, because opposing her would be “Islamophobic.”
“Minnesota Dem Candidate Voted Against Bill to Stop Insurance Payments to Convicted Terrorists,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 16, 2018:
Ilhan Omar, the former Minnesota legislator who won the Democratic primary for a House seat on Tuesday, once voted against a state bill to stop insurance payments to those convicted of terror acts, adding more fuel to accusations the candidate represents a fringe, anti-Israel section of the Democratic Party.
Omar, a Muslim Somali-American who has come under fire for her harsh criticism of Israel, was one of just two lawmakers in 2017 who voted against a Minnesota bill to deny life insurance payments to any person convicted of aiding or committing terror acts, according to official vote tallies.
Omar’s objection to the bill has stoked critics on both sides of the political aisle who say the candidate’s anti-Israel positions and soft stance on terrorism puts her in a growing stable of fringe Democratic lawmakers who single out the Jewish state for criticism.
Omar is vying to replace Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, also a Muslim who has taken a hardline position on Israel and who has come under fire for his close association with groups and individuals labeled as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel.
Omar has dubbed Israel an “apartheid regime” in past comments and has been forced to defend herself against allegations of anti-Semitism for these and other similar comments.
Her vote against the bill to end life insurance payments for those involved in terrorism raised questions and some criticism at the time, though Omar has not recently been asked to explain the vote.
Omar’s campaign did not immediately respond to a Washington Free Beacon request for comment on the vote and her reasons for opposing the measure.
In 2012, Omar claimed that Israel had “hypnotized the world” to turns its back on the state’s “evil doings.”
As she seeks to win Ellison’s seat in Congress, Omar has attempted to walk back her previous comments and acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.
However, pro-Israel organizations and others have shunned the candidate, saying she represents a growing fringe section of the Democratic Party that must be opposed by the Jewish political community.
“Saying that Israel ‘hypnotized the world’ and calling the Israeli government an ‘apartheid Israeli regime,’ is not only offensive and wrong, but hurts the progressive cause,” one veteran Democratic political operative told the Free Beacon. “Ilhan Omar will either moderate her extreme and dangerous rhetoric or, at least when it comes to Middle East issues, she will be shunned by the Congressional Democratic Caucus and the Party as a whole.”
The Jewish Democratic Council of America, one of the leading organizations supporting pro-Israel Democratic candidates, has declined to endorse the candidate over what it says is her anti-Israel sentiment.
“Now that Ms. Omar has emerged as the Democratic candidate, JDCA will not support her candidacy—and certainly will not endorse her—because her views are not aligned with our positions and values,” the organization said in a recent statement to the Jewish press.
In addition to her anti-Israel comments, Omar came under scrutiny last year for opposing a Minnesota bill that would penalize parents who perform genital mutilations on their children. In that instance, Omar was one of four state lawmakers who opposed the bill….
StellaSaidSo says
Prettier than Keith Ellison, but just as traitorous.
Note also that she opposes penalties for parents who inflict FGM on their daughters.

you left out hijrah (migratory jihad) and cultural jihad (the strategy of infiltrating a host country’s culture and working to change the culture within the nation in order to destroy it by division.)
Dan says
Yeah anybody who votes for these people are JUST as rotten.

WPM says
The highest form of Jihad is to be killed while killing non-believers as per the Koran all past” sins” against a Moslem are forgiven. This being said means the highest form of Jihad is a religious suicide pact ,life insurance policies are not paid out to families of everyday average non-religious suicides where the only victim is the one committing suicide. Why should violent suicide that involve the killing of other people while the terrorist loses his or her own like in a religious pack suicide be exempt ?
WPM says
own life” typo

sorry
mortimer says
Ilhan Omar is clearly a jihad supporter. 15% of Muslims worldwide claim to be supporters of a terrorist group.
Even if they are not terrorist supporters, Muslim politicians must be SEEN by their Muslim voters to support ISLAMIC TERRORISM, because terrorism is NORMATIVE Islam, rather than an aberration.
Muslims see the victory of Islam to be more valuable than the lives of hard-working people, families, children, mothers, and especially much more valuable than the lives of KAFIRS.
Muslims hate kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’. This cannot be emphasized enough. Muslims hate us.
Emilie Green says
Our constitutional system is going to be stressed even more, and I fear the short end of the stick is in the cards. John Adams famously stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other,” with religion understood to mean Christianity which commands truth-telling. “But let [a]your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”
The loyalty of every Muslim is to Islam. And they don’t deny it. So what will be the value of her Article VI oath to support the US Constitution? Or of the Muslima who will come from Michigan? Or of Andre Carson? Ellison’s oath was worthless.
The Framers installed a means by which the integrity of the Constitution and its system can be preserved, but it will require men and women of real character who are in Congress. Can such people be found? Article 1, section 5 states, “Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members.”
Muslims believe that NO man-made law, such as the Constitution and laws made in pursuant thereto, can be superior to the Shariah. This in and of itself should disqualify a Muslim from sitting in Congress. We’re gonna need people of sterner stuff than Paul Ryan.
Frank Anderson says
E.G. I am not disagreeing with your questions and doubt regarding the complete insincerity of a muslim taking any oath under US law. *We*, both of us have a problem in the form of a US Supreme Court case, which I cannot remember by name or cite, that denies the opportunity to challenge the sincerity of taking an oath. It appears to me that lying through your teeth when taking an oath is okay, as long as you don’t get caught and prosecuted when you break it. And we see how often some people are able to get away. Not a source of comfort.
Robert Carrillo says
Hey folks…I live in the hell hole now, called Minnesota (smile please).. Please say a legitimate Christian Soldiers prayer for me…
I write about this craziness here, and talk about it on radio constantly.. ..Nothing short of “bizarro world”..
…Life insurance death benefits for ISIS, and other jihad prone terrorists? Only two Minnesota legislators OMAR and Lesch, were the lone “nay” votes AGAINST THE MN “BILL TO DENY” life insurance death benefits for terrorists – domestic and overseas.
Death benefits for ISIS animals? Really?
Open support for life insurance “death benefits” for suicide bombers – ISIS murderers – terrorists?
Openly expressed hatred for Israel?
Open public support for the war mongering, and so-called, “Palestinians”?
Open support for Linda Sarsours, “We Must Not Assimilate” dictate to all U.S.Muslims?
Open public support for “No Borders”, right along with her Minnesota “partner-in-crime”, Keith Ellison?
Open, and personal support via her own actions, for immigration fraud, welfare fraud, polygamy, polyandry, bigamy, perjury, theft of Minnesota taxpayer dollars, and outright deception directed toward all “infidels?
This woman is, for a dozen reasons, a scourge upon the once-more-civilized-culture in Minnesota.. So is Ellison…
Minnesota (all over the State NOW) may not be “hell on earth”, as they say, throughout the United States today.. But, I can see it from here, just over the horizon..

Thanks for the info, Robert.

Does anyone seriously think that any Muslim elected to public office in the USA is going to set aside his seventh century cult and follow the US Constitution that he swore to uphold?
PRCS says
The real question is: how much of that “complete way of life” are they willing to set aside?. Push come to shove, how much of Qur’an and Sunn’ah will they willingly renounce or denounce–here? The amputation of a thief’s hand–anywhere on the planet?. Jew hatred?
It would be interesting to get a video of their individual reactions to a cleric preaching the “talking trees and stones” sermon in their presence..
StellaSaidSo says
The only Muslim who can be trusted in public office anywhere in the West is an ex-Muslim. However ‘moderate’ they pretend to be, if they swear allegiance on the Koran they are traitors.
Frank Anderson says
SSS, more people NEED to know that. I did not know that until a few years ago, long after the “religion of peace” lie was broadcast.
StellaSaidSo says
Indeed, Frank, more people need to know this – especially our ‘leaders’ – but few have read the Koran. If they did, they would know that it is a declaration of war against us.
Frank Anderson says
SSS, I am doing what I can, and looking for more, to help others see what they are missing. I ask and suggest that all of us do similar. Where can any of us spread the truth?
StellaSaidSo says
Frank, on an individual level, we can spread the truth wherever we go. Sowing the seeds of doubt in the minds of the brainwashed and misinformed, wherever we find them, is the goal. No need to bludgeon them with facts. Just engage them in conversation. Being familiar with the Koran (especially the bits re prohibitions on integration and injunctions to domination) is important. Look for opportunities to point out that, however horrific the violent jihad attacks may be, it is the silent jihad that is the most dangerous. Know what the burka et var really signifies so that you can explain it to those who have bought the bs about women having the right to wear whatever they want. Post to sites sympathetic to Islam (eg questioning a local govt decision on a mosque permit, or other proposed accommodation of Islamic demands). Start a conversation in a supermarket queue about halal certification. There are lots of one-on-one encounters which can lend themselves to education. Joining groups/political parties which actively oppose the jihad is becoming increasingly important. We need to stand up and be counted.
Frank Anderson says
We agree!
StellaSaidSo says
Indeed, Frank, we usually do! Thankyou for your many learned and thoughtful contributions to JW!

Has she under gone FGM,? did she suffer the pain of FGM?
How can we vote the one whose ideas are so backward in modern world.
After all we cannot trust a Muslim, can we?
MFritz says
Well, exactly what to expect from the likes of her. Never integrated, not supporting Western culture and modern values, only using the system to support the cause of islam.

DHazard says
Punishing the families of criminals has been used effectively by communist regimes like the one in North Korea. That said I am wary of any law that hinders individuals from making contracts between themselves. If the insurance company doesn’t want to pay then they can make up their own rules. They often require a medical examination which may include psychiatric testing. If belief in Islam was recognized as a mental illness, or at least a precursor to mental illness, then this is where the policy would be denied. If common sense ruled the World then a Muslim man applying for life insurance would automatically serve as an alert.
But, since it isn’t, denying the life insurance claims of Jihadi martyr’s families might be the best of two bad options. The best outcome is when the Islamist’s martydom/mass murder fantasy fails to properly play out and they live. The terrorist falls off the fast track to Paradise and his fate depends entirely on the place he failed to kill people. This is when an Islamist learns that there is a difference between being in an Israeli jail instead of a Yemeni one. On the bright side, if he was Palestinian then he and his family are already covered by the Family Benefits package for Murderers and the insurance law won’t make any difference.
Frank Anderson says
DHazard, a contract for an illegal purpose (such as for example rewarding terrorism) is void. United States v. Biloxi, 219 F.Supp. 691 (DC Miss. 1963), aff’d, 326 F.2d 237 (5th Cir. 1964), cert den, 379 U.S. 929 (1964). The only people who should benefit from any terrorist originated “income” regardless of source are the victims. Where did you study law?
Berengaria says
Look at the UK & Cry, because I’m so afraid, if these Pro-Sharia Shills get into the Federal GOV, the US will start to mimic the Official UK Stance
On Islam!
I read that approx.90 Muslims were running for Elected Positions, Not All for FED, but some for Local Elections, too.
Muslims look at the USA as the First Prize on their way to dominating the
World & they have had plenty of help from our own Elected Officials.who have Bent & Twisted our Laws to benefit the Newest GOV PROTECTED GROUP, ISLAM!
In South Florida, one is even using an Assumed Name to run in a State Race, (More American Sounding). So, Please do your homework on the People who are asking for your Vote & try to weed out the Rascals, before they get into Office.
