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

After claiming AIPAC buys politicians, Rep. Ilhan Omar to speak for Hamas-linked CAIR, which has given her thousands

Feb 14, 2019 7:38 am By Robert Spencer

Consistency? Honesty? Integrity? Those are for the common folk, not for the elites.

“Money in politics? Ilhan Omar will fly to LA for fundraiser with … terror-tied CAIR,” by Jordan Schachtel, Conservative Review, February 13, 2019:

Newly elected Rep. Ilhan Omar will jet off to Los Angeles next month to keynote a fundraiser for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a terror-tied organization that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist financing case in U.S. history.

On March 23, Omar will speak at CAIR-Los Angeles’ 4th Annual Valley Banquet, where tables will cost $500….

She will deliver her address alongside CAIR-Florida director Hassan Shibly, according to a CAIR flier promoting the event. Shibly is a dedicated Islamist and bigoted gay basher. A fan of radical clerics, he has routinely refused to categorize U.S.-designated terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations, according to the Clarion Project. Moreover, Shibly regularly takes to social media to demonize the U.S. military as equivalent to the jihadi terrorists that they are fighting.

The director of CAIR-Los Angeles is Hussam Ayloush, who, like many CAIR executives, has disturbing Islamist views. Following the tragic San Bernardino terrorist attacks, Ayloush suggested that the United States was “partly responsible” for the ISIS-led attack on innocents in California. “Let’s not forget that some of our own foreign policy, as Americans, as the West, have fueled that extremism,” he added. Ayloush has in the past described U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a campaign to instill “fear of the Muslims.”

The news comes on the heels of Rep. Omar’s controversial comments — that many on the Left and Right almost unanimously condemned as anti-Semitic tropes — about money in politics, in which she claimed that Jewish groups like AIPAC buy off politicians. Though AIPAC does not contribute to political campaigns, CAIR certainly does. Omar has received tens of thousands of dollars from CAIR and other political action committees. Additionally, CAIR held several fundraising events solely for the benefit of Omar’s congressional campaign.

CAIR’s fundraiser is just one of the controversial events lined up for Omar’s schedule. On February 23, she will speak at a fundraiser for Islamic Relief USA, the American branch of the terror-tied group Islamic Relief Worldwide. The Middle East Forum has discovered that she will be accompanied by a senior charity official who has often “expressed violently anti-Semitic ideas on his social-media accounts,” sometimes specifically calling for the murder of Jews….

    In these difficult times–so full of stress, anger and contradictions–let us remember former President Obama’s beautiful words at the 2016 Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, highlighting a positive vision of a nation whose diversity is our strength.

    “I see Americans,” intoned President Obama in July, 2016, “of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together — black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young and old; gay, straight, men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance, under the same proud flag, to this big, bold country that we love.”

    On this Valentine’s Day let us therefore resolve to transcend historical tropes of hate in a mutual effort to reaffirm the American Dream.

    I am sure that former President Obama and the current Democratic leadership in Congress will stand courageously and tall, hand in hand with President Trump as fellow Americans, to decry the ugliness of anti-Semitism re-emerging at the edges of our politics, whether on the Right or on the Left. Let this consensus be part of both the Green New Deal and the MAGA Deal, however contentious will be the upcoming political campaigns. This is who we are as Americans.

      Obama’s beautiful words?

      “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam”
      2012

      Only a muslim or an islamic apologist like Barack Hussein obama would say that

      muhammed was a White man who SOLD BLACK PEOPLE into slavery [Sahih Mulim 3901]at the price of two black slaves for one non-black slave.
      Perhaps the Irony of that is lost on Obama.

      Just look at who Obama,the worst POTUS in American History, is defending.

      The “prophet” muhammed:an antisemitic, black slave trading ,racist bigot.

      muhammed CURSES Jews and Christians {Sahih Muslim 1082}
      muhammed mass-murdered Jews {Abu Dawud 4390}
      muhammed and his BLACK SLAVES{sahih bukhari 7263,6161,7142}

      “Whoever says the prophet was black is KILLED.The prophet was not black”
      Ash Shifa

      Slandering the “prophet”:saying he was black merited MURDER.

      What about islam and its “prophet” slandering Jews and Christians?
      what about Sahih Muslm # 6985:islam’s call for the annihilation of the Jews?
      Will CAIR,the muslim brotherhood,ilhan omar,rashida tlaib and the Lefties,the ADL,the SPLC kindly explain that one:WHY should the Jews be wiped out??

      What a two faced hypocrite and enabler of islam is BH Obama!

      If you’re being sarcastic, Moshe, your sarcasm is tedious. If you’re actually serious, then you are suffering from a really bad case of terminal naivety. Whichever, your comment is pathetic.

      More tedious trolling from “Moshe”.

      Here is a woman who when attacking Eliot Abrams at the last comgresional hearing cannot even read the words Iran-Contra correctly off her hearing notes – she says Iran -Cortra. But I guess she’s well read in Islam for Dhimmis -so that is all that counts.

    No-brainer. Muslims in government are following the marching orders of Islam in undermining the Constitution. We know what is said at such functions. Are the press allowed inside? (Rhetorical question).

    Meanwhile, the Lefty media loves Omar and Tlaib because they represent three “oppressed by the patriarchy” groups: women, Muslims, and “people of colour”–even though Islam is NOT a race.

    Leftism and Islam. Dangerous alliance.

    Who paid for her plane ticket?

    She is freely associating with terror groups, moslims who advocate murder and terror….that should be enough to 1, give the members of Congress just cause to boot her 2 lead the FBI to investigate her 3 arrest and charge her with un-American activities and the fraud she committed years ago.

    Rightly, she belongs behind bars as do many with whom she associates.

    Muslims are a plague and Omar is the organism carrying the strain into US congress. What a dumb ho.

    With Islam and its warped followers, you can count on many negatives. Hypocrisy and antisemitism are two of them.

    Interesting how Omar, just several weeks into her first term, creates constant major controversy while her attitude remains belligerent, aggressive accusatory and uncompromising. Right out of the gate, she is daring all political, media and social powers that be to make a major move against a muslim. She is testing the waters for all other current and future muslim office holders in the US.

    Innocuous, Representative, Ilan Omar

    (dlbrand February 14, 2019 OpposingIslam)

    You know, it is a darn good thing, we are, for the most part, a people not easily riled, neither derailed nor distracted from our daily schedules, neither stirred or moved to action by that, which, probably, really, is, in truth, really none of our concern.

    As in, say, take for example, when we see Muslims among us simply take the tenets of their faith system to heart. Evoke their guide. Boldly exercise just that.

    Because if we were, details provided in a post today over at Jihad Watch just might disturb us….

    We are at the mercy of jihadis. If our corrupt gov does not reverse it’s pandering, ban islam and deport foreign muslims, what will citizens do…simply wait to be the next to die in Washington’s jihad lottery? So far this has been our reality.
