It is impossible to know at this point which side is telling the truth about these allegations against Ilhan Omar. It is abundantly clear, however, that whether or not she is actually an agent of Qatar, she is certainly a mouthpiece for the sinister forces of the “Palestinian” jihad, among others.
An update on this story. “How A Fake Imam, The Krassenstein Brothers And A Canadian Played Roles In A Dubious Story About Ilhan Omar And Qatar,” by Luke Rosiak, Daily Caller, November 26, 2019:
Foreign elements are pushing a dubious story, targeted at American conservatives, that Ilhan Omar is a secret agent of the nation of Qatar.
The claim comes from a deposition from a Canadian self-described problem-solver for the Saudi ruling family — the arch-nemesis of Qatar — who gave 200 pages of testimony that offered a haphazard smorgasbord of accusations against the country.
The Oct. 23 deposition of the fixer, Alan Bender, was taken as part of a case that had little to do with him, and most of the questions and answers had no seeming relevance to the case either.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reviewed the deposition and deemed it not credible. It even gets Omar’s job wrong, repeatedly calling her a senator.
But the Jerusalem Post published that a “Florida court has heard” that Omar was a secret foreign agent, and the story rapidly began making the rounds among American conservatives.
In the deposition, Bender attested that the Qataris called him out of the blue, flew him to the royal palace, and shared their misdeeds with him in extreme detail, despite his prior association with their rivals.
The deposition includes all manner of accusations, such as that Omar is a “sex maniac” and that reporters at CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times are on the payroll of Qatar. Bender appeared eager to expose all of that dirt, yet inexplicably said he’d “rather not” provide key details, such as the names of the reporters supposedly taking bribes.
“I’d rather not say ’cause I know the name and details,” he said of CNN. “I’d rather not mention specific names but I have, yes, several names,” he said of the New York Times.
Bender did not return a request for comment. In the deposition, he said he will “sometimes intervene on behalf of members of the [Saudi] ruling families; mediate, solve their problems.”
‘Imam of Peace’
Mohamad Tawhidi, an Australian Muslim with a large social media following under the handle “Imam of Peace,” has been pushing the idea that Omar is connected to Qatar for months.
Tawhidi also spuriously accused a journalist at the DCNF of being on the payroll of Qatar for not quickly and uncritically printing storylines pushed by him, despite the DCNF repeatedly covering misdeeds by Qatar. He falsely claimed that any hesitation was because of an editor “who I can confirm works for Qatar…. It took me 48 hours to find out.”
Tawhidi would not tell TheDCNF’s reporter which of his colleagues had supposedly entered into a secret agreement with a Gulf nation.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported in 2017 that Tawhidi’s alma mater said he never graduated and it “does not recommend” him “for lecturing in any way. Accordingly, he has no competency to do religious activities or preach sermons.”
Tawhidi has built 600,000 Twitter followers by criticizing extremist and anti-West elements of Islam.
But the Australian outlet says after dropping out of university, he studied under a fringe cleric who holds ultra-conservative positions, such as that men may marry nine-year olds, that Sharia law should govern, and that women should not hold roles in government.
“The teachings I learnt were not incorrect but some were better off concealed. The coming year, 2016, will be a big year for me,” he wrote in a letter cited by the ABC. “You will be seeing and hearing more of me in the media and social networks. Thus, I request from you all to keep in mind that my mission is an ideological one.”…

Strange things happen in ordinary life. Things reach greater heights of strangeness when politics are involved, and even higher when more than one nation is involved.
i omar is a liar. She has a band of liars that work as her staff…all paid for by the people of America. She wheels and squeals and deals…all for islam and her personal comforts. i omar is a snake. Just looking at the photo above reminds me of how snakes extend their “neck” and body, and put their head into a position to see and to strike. Snakes sneak into areas where they have no business or right to be.
The guys who say she is a spy for qatar, may or may not be telling the absolute truth. However, she dies work for cair and the moslim brotherhood and who knows what other finaglers she’s a rep for.
It would not be an impossible thing for her to be a spy for more than one moslim country, even if they are of different sects of that foul plague upon mankind. It’s all one wild beast and all of it’s different heads have the same goals….take over the earth for islam…for satan.
In the past…and probably at present…there have been many “double spies” who work for more than one government or nation, even two that are in conflict. She could be one of those. Easy enough. moslims will do anything for islam and she is also looking out for her own personal agenda.
Eur says
It is not necessary to be an agent paid by Qatar to have evil motivations. Muslims aspire to theocracy, so their goal is to use democracy until they can destroy it from within. This woman does not have to have evil actions all the time, she is not an ogre and probably helps many people and is ver kind with her neighbour … but her goal is the same as that of any other Muslim … implant sharia, end civil rights , individual freedoms, freedom of expression …
MS MADELEINE DUNN says
The moniker “Imam of Peace” is an oxymoron. I always believed he had an ulterior motive or was some egocentric nut job. He spoke as if he had a foot in both the Islamic world and the Wester world at the same time, and professed some confusing mess of illogic about Islam -and proclaiming he is a direct descendent of the prophet,, but then would ultimately say that the best the west can do is put in severe laws that would stop it from acting out sharia law and embedding it in our society.
Murali says
I recently read his book where he talks about his upbringing in Australia and how his world-view changed after one of his close relatives was killed by ISIS in Iraq.
Ego-centric or not, this guy has to courage to out some of the most shameful aspects of Islam in this book. And, if you read his book, you will realize why he is saying that the best the west can do is to put severe laws in place.
FYI says
The “imam of peace” must say his islamic fatiha “prayers” daily{islamic “prayers” disparaging Jews and Christians},he is obliged to follow the sunnah of his immoral self-confessed false prophet muhammed{al tabari 6;111: a mass murdering ,Slave trading psychopath} and surely follows the teachings of the ‘holy’ koran ,a book that CURSES Christians k9:30 for believing in Jesus Christ,teaches the OPPOSITE of God’s Commandements{so no “love thy neighbor” in islam etc}
I’m not buying the nice smiley imam show:we know muslims use dissembling to promote their cult
{taqqiya,tawriya,muruna,taysin,kitman,darura} as bearing false witness is sanctioned in islam.We know about islam’s Doctrine of hate{al walaa wal baraa}
The mystery is why the iman chooses to deny the evidence about islan:
Its pagan Arab god al LAH{“The BEST of deceivers” k3:54},its obviously false “prophet”,its “perfect” book{that is so full of ERRORS that by allah’s own criterion of k4:82 means it cannot come from God!}
Reziac says
Watch Tawhidi’s chat with Gad Saad (on Youtube)… basically the same questions came up, and Tawhidi really doesn’t have an answer.
FYI says
I’m sure he’s a perfectly nice man but it illustrates the difference between somebody who happens to be muslim and their ideology:muslims have to defend what they surely know to be indefensible.
They have to defend muhammed being married to a 9 year old girl.
They have to defend the koran’s Arab immorality,its jihadism etc.
It is the religious and political ideology of islam that is the problem,not simply the fact that somebody is a muslim:The “islamophobia” industry conflates the two so that to be critical of islam is to be anti-muslim people.
I wish more muslims would seriously READ what is in the koran,study it with a critical eye and ignore the ‘holy’ men who are leading them astray{they have a vested interest in doing so:they would lose all their power and control via fear-mongering};The Truth would set them free.
A religion that hates women,other creeds,Art,music,musical instruments:I mean seriously?This is the 21st century!
Brian Hoff says
The Israel newaper is going to respiration as than source of info. The Israeli Intellence service know the story is falsem. The Muslim Congress woman will win reeclecion.
gravenimage says
What does “Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–mean by “respiration” here? Does he mean he plans to choke the air out of some Jewish victims? What?
FYI says
Brian always does a really bad job of representing his islam.
I’m not sure what a “newaper”is:Brian clearly doesn’t represent any ‘intellence'{sic} service …. as he doesn’t have any…
After all,he would have figured it out by now if he had.
islamic trolls on the internet often love to use western sounding names because they think the infidels won’t see through it.
Anyone who leaves islam:Respect!
Anyone who joins the cult of islam or chooses to stay in denial is a fool.
Brian Hoff says
Nobody would believe then anymore . They need to fact check they soruce better. Any body with any knowledge would know the story is false.
gravenimage says
Is the semi-literate “Brian Hoff” trying to present himself as a knowledgeable person here?
Brian Hoff says
The mainstream media is discredit the story for the lack of indepence evidence s . Most media have inside contact inside intelligence service who could say intelligence head donor reveal they assets. It they did that person will be fire from his post This story is being spead by than right-wing conspiracy twizer account holder who hate that congess woman. If there was any real evidence she would have being arrest like now.

More word salad…

Read the deposition and decide for yourself:

Definitely read the whole thing; it’s… enlightening, and not just about Omar.
Giacomo Latta says
If the author of the deposition wanted to get Omar in hot water, he should have quoted her as saying she is a devout American. That would have forced her to sweat it out at the next meeting with her supporters.
Walter Sieruk says
That disingenuous, subversive, scheming stealth jihadist Muslim politician ,Ilhan Omar , after her election to Congress she was thus was given a seat on the House of Foreign Affairs Committee where she has much influence to promote her Un-American Islamic ideas ,politics and polices upon America .
Omar with her foreign insidious Islamic agenda she desire to impose on America which are in strong contrast to American ideas , values , politic and polices are a matter of concern .
With this type of insidious Islamic infiltration in the US government the wisdom of the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, very much applies to this serious situation.
For in a speech President Roosevelt, rightly, declared “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.”
