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

Anti-Semitic Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar to fundraise for Hamas-linked CAIR

Feb 19, 2019 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

On the heels of her “apology” for anti-Semitic comments, now “Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is scheduled to raise money in March with the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations.”

Omar’s anti-Semitic comments just keep coming. Depending on the backlash she receives, she issues a hollow apology and moves on to the next. The problem is that she is being emboldened. The underlying problem is the unreasonable, unreasoned support she is receiving from people such as Bernie Sanders, who said: “We will stand by our Muslim brothers and sisters.” He didn’t add any conditions. Omar has “referred to Israel as the ‘Jewish ISIS,'” but Bernie Sanders will still stand by her, because he regards her as his “Muslim sister.” Hollywood stars rallied around her following the remarks she made about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to the effect that “Jewish money was behind American elected officials’ support for Israel.”

Leftist leaders have blindly allied themselves with Islamic supremacists, supporters of the jihad that has targeted the state of Israel for obliteration since 1948.

Omar will be the keynote speaker at CAIR’s 4th Annual Valley Banquet on March 23 to discuss advancing justice and empowering Muslims, according to the organization’s invitation. Single tickets start at $55 per person and a table can cost upwards of $500.

CAIR is linked to the jihad terror organization Hamas, which prides itself on murdering Israelis and runs summer camps to teach youngsters to “ignite the spirit of jihad.” Is this what Omar calls “justice and empowering Muslims”? She is anti-semitic and supports organizations linked to jihad terror while ignoring Sharia oppression and the intolerance and murder committed in accord with its teachings.

More on this story. “Ilhan Omar To Fundraise For Hamas-Linked Muslim Organization,” by Molly Prince, Daily Caller, February 17, 2019:

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is scheduled to raise money in March with the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) only a week after she used an anti-Semitic trope to claim Israel has paid for GOP support.

Omar will be the keynote speaker at CAIR’s 4th Annual Valley Banquet on March 23 to discuss advancing justice and empowering Muslims, according to the organization’s invitation. Single tickets start at $55 per person and a table can cost upwards of $500.

Hassan Shibly, the chief executive director for CAIR-Florida, will also be speaking at the event. Shibly has emphatically stated that Hezbollah and Hamas are not terrorist organizations, reported Jordan Schachtel at Conservative Review.

Hussam Ayloush, the chief executive director for CAIR-LA, who is hosting the event, compared the state of Israel to the Islamic State during a speech in April. Shibley has repeatedly echoed those sentiments and spread propaganda describing U.S. armed forces as radical terrorists.

CAIR is a notable pro-Palestinian organization with ties to Islamic terror groups. The U.S. Department of Justice listed CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in funding millions of dollars to the terrorist organization Hamas. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) named CAIR a terrorist organization along with al-Qaeda and ISIS in 2014.

Omar faced massive backlash after she stated on Feb. 10 that Republicans’ support for Israel is bought by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). The anti-Semitic comments received swift condemnation from congressional members on both sides of the aisle, including the Democratic leadership and the White House.

After receiving widespread criticism, Omar apologized for using anti-Semitic language but maintained her position on “the problematic role of lobbyists in politics, whether it be AIPAC, the [National Rifle Association] or the fossil fuel industry.” (RELATED: Top Democrat Jerry Nadler Slams Ilhan Omar Over Comments About Jews)

Omar’s office did not return The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment and clarification on whether raising money for CAIR exacerbates the “problematic role of lobbyists in politics” and, if not, the difference between fundraising for CAIR and AIPAC.

Omar has been in office less than two months and is surrounded by a number of controversies. The freshman congresswoman defended anti-Israeli statements, such as ones invoking Allah to expose Israel’s “evil doings,” and she has come out in favor of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to punish the nation-state of Israel by economically depriving the country for its alleged mistreatment of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

The Minnesota congresswoman is also on record implying Israel is not a democracy and gave an interview to a host that referred to Israel as the “Jewish ISIS.”…..

    This us just the beginning. Its amazing that Whites in Minnesota elected this Somali.

    More and more Muslims will be empowered, and America will be in the same situation as Europe now.

    We are heading to a civil war, and hopefully we will win it.

      On our current trajectory, I think that the United States is about 15-20 years behind Western Europe in regards to Islamization.

      And that’s in spite of Pres. Trump’s best efforts – he is being fought at every turn.

      And off the top of my head…

      We will eventually fall to Islam unless we:

      Follow the lead of Hungary and Poland and dismiss political correctness

      Control our borders

      Deport all illegal migrants – and legally readmit those that can benefit and add value to the United States

      Practice extreme vetting of all immigrants particularly in regards to Islamic ideology

      Practice merit-based immigration

      Reinvigorate Judeo-Christian values

      Increase our native birthrate with incentives similar to those recently introduced by Hungary

      Close all mosques that preach hatred toward infidels

      I’m sure that I left some things out – and the above measures may not be enough…

        With you, James. What must occur, a sine qua non, is that Islam, all of Islam, be looked upon in a very negative light and understood to be the one major religion that is also a totalitarian political ideology. Even those who don’t want Islam legally regarded as a religion at all (I am not one of them) must certainly understand that you can’t achieve this before Islam is first comprehended as something iniquitous, irrespective of the debate of its legal status First things first and all that.

        Such a view of Islam as a giant negative MUST include a very large majority of the elites in academia, the media and especially in government—and in all three branches (executive, legislative and judicial and not the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez three branches of the executive, upper house of the legislature and lower house of the legislature).

        Much work to be done to contain what Islam, aided by leftists, the apathetic and RINO types, intends for all of us. Hope you are well. Always enjoy reading your comments here at JW. They are invariably reasoned and informed. Take care.

          Much thanks for the compliment!

          I only comment when I feel that I can add value to the discussion…

          By the way, I also read all of your posts which are extremely well thought out and well-written – my compliments.

          Take care also.

          Any Hamas linked group SHOULD BE classified as a terrorist group and ANY American citizen helping these groups should be classified as a traitor.

      DP111,

      Minnesota District 5’s is primarily white. They assisted the district’s huge Somali Muslim population in electing her.

      To date, unfortunately, I haven’t personally heard or seen anyone from that district (whether they voted for her or not) expressing anything negative about that election’s result.

      The 2020 election will tell whether they’ve pulled their collective heads from that dark place.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 19, 2019 at 6:26 pm

        True, PRCS–lots of clueless Infidel Democrats, who thought they were voting for a “progressive”.

        Muslims elected this woman…..Now think on this…This is just a start …Muslims have stated that within 20 years they will be able yo elect a president…Now how’s that gonna work out?

          Even in Minneapolis, Muslims do not make up any kind of majority.

          Country-wide, they are less than one percent of the population.

          Their becoming a majority here may indeed become a problem, given their rates of immigration and breeding; but they are not a majority here yet.

    Feb 19, 2019 at 1:14 pm

    Only Muslim organizations see Muslims as needing to be “empowered”. Are they not Americans first? No no. Being “American” is last on their list.

    “Advancing justice” for Muslims? Please. They have their own justice and it always entails “advancement”.

  3. Or Else! says

    Feb 19, 2019 at 1:21 pm

    The Left are uniformed, duped, virtue-signallers who are 100% sure they’re correct. That’s not just a soft underbelly. That’s a juicy caterpillar in an aviary.

    And that other, international moslim “charity” will also have “reps” at the event. The one that is recognized as a terror group, behind many terror acts where masses were killed…”islamic relief.’

    She’s a “rep” all right…a “reptile” and a “rep” of the mb. She is not a “rep” of the ordinary American.

    Seeing her ugly face over and over again, makes me wish someone would do a mustache drawing such as people have done on other people’s pictures. I know. It’s childish, but hey, there’s kid in all of us.

    She makes me sick..

    AIPAC is supid for attacking this brave muslim woman. By attacking her the way they did they prove her point. AIPAC neef to be disband and all they member lose they america citizenship.

    • Wellington says

      Feb 19, 2019 at 6:03 pm

      She’s not brave but rather massively misinformed but being massively misinformed in America carries no penalties, contra so much of the rest of the world, including all of the Islamic world.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 19, 2019 at 6:18 pm

      Of course “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–considers it “brave” to back Hamas, which seeks the destruction of democratic Israel and the genocide of the Jews. *Ugh*.

    Glen Beck has a video of her questioning Mr. Abrams and she’s accusing him of terrible things and of “lying” and asking him how can the American people trust him to tell the truth.

    At one point, she asks a question and demands a “yes or now” response. He tries to give an answer, but she keeps repeating the accusation and demanding he say ‘yes or no.’ So he says, “NO” and she responds, “I’ll take that as a yes.”

    She also says, “On OUR watch,” about something that happened before ever she was a citizen in the U.S. having been hatched in Somalia in 1981.
    Mr. Beck says it is “disgusting” and he is absolutely correct.

      I agree, Somehistory–disgusting.

    CAIR is an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood! How is this woman still in office as a freshman when she’s an antisemite and a member of CAIR? She should be impeached out of office! Instead the cur is on the cover of Rolling Stone!
