Flagrant corruption, out in the open for anyone to see. Ilhan Omar is rubbing our noses in America’s current two-tier justice system. If one of the hoi polloi did something like this, he or she would face consequences. But Ilhan Omar knows she is golden. She has three victim tickets: she is a woman, she is black, and she is a Muslim. Accordingly in today’s sick victim-idolizing society, she is royalty. The standards that apply to other people don’t apply to her, and anyone who thinks they do will immediately be smeared as “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
“Ilhan Omar’s Mass Corruption, Has Paid Her Husband’s Firm $600,000 in 3 Weeks, $1.6 Million Overall During Cycle,” by C. Douglas Golden, Western Journal, August 1, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Ladies, get you a man who loves you as much as Rep. Ilhan Omar loves spending money on her man’s firm.
The spigot at the Minnesota Democrat campaign’s headquarters continues to flow to the E Street Group, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm that raked in a remarkable 77 percent of the Omar campaign’s disbursements for the first three weeks of July.
Federal Election Commission records released Thursday show that the E Street Group received $606,000 from Omar’s campaign during that period.
The E Street Group is run by Tim Mynett, Omar’s third husband.
This curious financial relationship began in August 2018, back when Omar and Mynett were both married to other people. They weren’t open polyamorists or anything, so one assumes the relationship at that point was, at least officially, a professional one.
Money changed hands, young wonk love began to bud, Omar’s husband said he found the congresswoman in a compromising position with Mynett while they were in their PJs, Mynett’s ex-wife Beth said in divorce documents that her former husband’s “travel and long work hours now appear to be more related to his affair with Rep. Omar than with his actual work commitments,” yadda yadda yadda, now Omar and Mynett are married.
You’d think that maybe Rep. Omar — a member of “the squad,” that quartet of young leftist firebrands ostensibly dedicated to tearing down the kind of moneyed Washington scotch-quaffing establishment that enriches itself by operating on the fringes of the rulebook — might have flipped through the Justice Democrats Rolodex and found any other left-leaning consultancy group to handle the kind of amorphous things Omar’s campaign is paying the E Street Group to do.
After all, there are plenty of firms in Washington that are set up to handle “digital consulting,” “fundraising consulting” and “mail production and postage” — three things the Omar campaign paid the E Street Group to do in July — that aren’t run by people who enjoy intimate relations with the candidate.
In fact, it’s an entire city where the economy is built on people who can’t get elected or get jobs in the halls of power who provide those services to those who can. If the flow of money to this hive of well-remunerated hackery were to somehow magically disappear, the District of Columbia would resemble nothing so much as “Harlan County, USA” with a lot of monuments and cherry blossoms.
Nah, though. Omar’s spent a total of $1.6 million with Mynett’s firm this election cycle. Your campaign donations to Omar, in other words, are going directly into her husband’s firm….

I am compassionate to Muslims in general and I politically differ from certain opportunistic politicians and their reprehensible amorality.
Muslims are humans with wrong information. The Koran is a fabricated propaganda text of human origin.

Hey ‘Rod’..

All that virtue-signalling about ‘hate’ speech tends to come mainly from lefties and muslims.
Yes,it must be hard for you to have to cope with all that ‘hate’ you poor snowflake.
Perhaps YOU should be somewhere else,perhaps in some snowflake safe-zone with pillows and lots of tissues to cope with the trauma of having to deal with all the ‘hate’.
You are like an islamic ‘scholar’ selling the ‘perfect’ koran which is like trying to sell a square tire.

Wellington says
Rod: I hate Islam and I hate SOME Muslims (e.g., members of Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda and Boko Haram—don’t you despise these people too?). And while I don’t hate most Muslims I do think every Muslim is a confused human being because Islam is, as Bertrand Russell noted a century ago, the one major religion that is totalitarian in structure and ideology and thinking it something good serves as ipso facto evidence of a confused mind, an uninformed mind.
And how about you, Rod, what do you think of Islam? If you extend approbation to it, why? You do know of course, and as taught by every major school of Islamic theology to this very day, for instance the four main Sunni schools, the Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi and Maliki, that it is standard Islamic doctrine that a Muslim who converts to another religion must be killed. This can be found in the Koran (Sura 4:89) and in the Bukhari Hadith 9.84.57. How do you view this requirement of death for a Muslim who changes to another faith? Your turn, Rod.
Rod says
Yes, Wellington, there are stupid things in holy books, and let’s not examine yours too closely. We all know that Christians mostly know better than to take them seriously, and most of us know that the same is true of Muslims, including those I have lived and worked with in their own countries, and including those who perhaps help to keep your own society functioning, just as they do in my country.
The real weirdos are those driven by absurd phobias easily disproved by everyday observation, but who are determined to maintain their obsessions no matter how irrational and how inconsistent they are with obvious truths.
One of the silliest of the ideas which pervade this site is the conviction that every Muslim has the same opinions, beliefs, hatreds as the most extreme examples that Robert Spencer dredges up for you from some report from Mombassa or Kiev. Are you all so simple minded? Many of you certainly are. That’s why he does it. It makes no sense otherwise. Why is a stupid statement from a Muslim fanatic in Kiev of any importance to anybody? There are stupid statements made on this site every day. All of them equally insignificant. (Yours excepted, of course.)
Wellington says
Regular posters here, Rod, know only full well that there are many gradations among Muslims with respect to enacting the many Islamic dictates that exist, but a major point you have missed is that the Islamic theological blueprint itself is replete with all kinds of directives that are absent in other major faiths, such as death for apostasy, death or severe bodily harm for any criticism of Islam, the Koran or Mohammed, a religious legal system, contra other religious legal systems like Roman Catholic Canon Law and Judaic Law, which is meant for EVERYBODY, not just believers, and the requirement to wage war across the earth “until all religion is with Allah.” {Sura 8:39}
Your pathetic moral equivalency thinking is showing most glaringly. And I don’t personally have a holy book since I am not religious in the least but just since 9/11 there have been over 37,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks as opposed to how many Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. terrorists attacks in the name of religion? You are a fool of the first degree. There’s just no way around this.
Rod says
The point you’ve missed, Wellington, is that even if you are as well versed in Islamic theology as you claim to be, what you believe about Muslim people collectively is ludicrously misguided. Another point you’ve missed, and it must take quite a lot of determination on your part to miss it, is that there is evidence all around you to show you that you are ludicrously misguided. Do you really believe that the middle-aged lady helping out in my local child-care centre, or the pediatrician in the city hospital has plans to “wage war across the earth”, or would for a moment consider supporting such a policy?
There may be some Muslim people who read Christian scriptures and form ludicrously false opinions about Christians, but I’m sure few would be so stupid. Though an awareness of recent Christian activities in the Muslim lands might convince them.
Of course the lies you’re told by Spencer (see below) and so many others don’t help, but there really is no excuse for people of reasonable intelligence who believe them.
Have you ever met a Muslim? Ever watched a Muslim interact with your children? Ever had a discussion with a Muslim about films or music or alcohol or recent history, or even about god? Or are all your Muslims those which Spencer discovers in little known websites reporting events in remote places like Malmo or Tasmania?
37000 Terrorist attacks? Oh dear. I refer you to any Iraqi who lived through “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. Ask how many of her family died, how many lost their homes, how many are still refugees. Ask how much of her city was destroyed. And ask about the “Freedom”. And be sure to ask her about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Hint – those killed vastly outnumber those who died on 9/11, and number many more than 37000.
Not terrorism, you say?

Most likely “Rod”, like so many Muslim apologists, assumes that Wellington and every other Westerner is Christian.
But in any case, “Rod’s” implication that Christianity teaches “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” as does Islam is ludicrous. Citations, please.

Actually, many Christians do take scripture to love their neighbors quite seriously. Unfortunately, many Muslims also take quite seriously Muslim diktats to violently attack Infidels until “all religion is for Allah”.

Not every Muslim follows all diktats of Islamic teaching–this does not change what Islam does indeed teach, nor does it change the fact that pious Muslims are murdering Infidels in Jihad terror every day. But “Rod” wants us to ignore those over 35,000 Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11. Bad dhimmis!

Will this Muslim do anything to prevent violent Jihad against us? Will she fight for us against her more orthodox coreligionists? Likely not. Demanding that since there are some Muslims not currently waging violent Jihad against us that we dare not mention all those who are doing so is grotesque.
And even here in the United States over 50% of Muslims openly say that they want to see brutal Shari’ah law imposed on us. Is “Rod” OK with this? Likely so.

Actually, there are many. The texts of Islam themselves make bizarre assertions, for instance, of Mary being a part of the Christian trinity.
This ignorance would not be a serious issue, save for the fact that Muslims are happy to murder Christians and other Infidels over their own ignorance.

In other words, Infidels should do *nothing* to defend against Jihad terror–and if they do, they deserve whatever they get from Jihadists.
But of course, this makes no sense–we never defended against Jihad terror until we were on the receiving end of Jihad terror attacks.

……………………….
I had a discussion with Muslims at Da’wa group WhyIslam, who affirmed that Islam preaches the stoning of women and that the Muslim “Jesus” “prophet Isa” murders Christians in the last days. The idea that meeting Muslims always reveals them as ordinary people in Hijabs or skullcaps is actually *quite* false.
And the idea that Malmo is a remote place is bizarre–this is a major suburb of Stockholm. How is the capital city of Sweden remote? And how is Australia remote?
And many of the stories here are in fact from the West–but demanding that we ignore stories of Jihad terror if the victims come from “remote” places is sickening, in any case–we happen to care about *all* the victims of Jihad terror, not just those from places that “Rod” considers worthy of his attention.

Unsurprisingly, “Rod” is sneering at all victims of Jihad terror–who cares if Muslims murder Infidels Not him, clearly.
The purpose of Jihad terror is to impose the horrors of Islamic law. Does “Rod” have a problem with this? Not so he says…
Rod says
Wellington:
The Islamic legal system “requirement to wage war across the earth”
Let’s look at the past two centuries.
Twenty years of Napoleonic Wars, Afghan Wars, Maratha Wars, Crimean War, US Civil War, Indian Mutiny, Franco-Prussian War, Maori War, Boer Wars, Zulu Wars, Russian Civil War, First and Second World Wars, Spanish Civil War, Korea, Indochina Wars, Iraq, Afghanistan. A continuing wave of gun murder and violence across the USA.
Where are the Muslims? Rarely involved at all. Wars for two centuries, instigated or caused by non-Muslims, mostly white Christians (who believe in peace, love, tolerance). Deaths incalculable, misery, severe bodily harm, impossible to quantify. Christian “legal system” has no “requirement” to wage war across the earth. Quite the opposite. But that is what they do.
But it’s Muslims who are vilified. They will inflict death or “severe bodily harm, and wage war across the earth”? Come on, Wellington. Am I to take this seriously?
Is this hypocrisy, wilful ignorance? It makes no sense.
I see a tiny colony of idiots, in furious agreement, convinced that the sky is green. GreenWatch! Their idiot-in-chief, Mr Spencer Robert, spends every waking hour scouring the world’s media for such news as a speck of green seen in the sky above Basutoland. His reports are devoured; earnestly discussed; obsessions confirmed. Hints that the sky could be blue come only from detestable ‘blue apologists’.

Actually, what Islam preaches compared with what other faiths teach is absolutely key here, since “Rod” did indeed imply that Christianity is as bad as Islam.
So how is addressing this falsehood “infantile”?
Even more to the point, how is it dishonest? “Rod” need not find that exact phrase in any Christian scripture, but just anything that has the same general meaning. But of course he cannot–because there is no such teaching.
So the childish “Rod” has to stoop to calling me “gravy”, which is not even witty. (Another Muslim apologist here, long gone, called me “cravenimage”–inaccurate, but at least original).
James Lincoln says
Rod,
There is one islam, which is a totalitarian political, religious ideology whose very devout followers want to impose sharia law upon the entire world. I definitely hate islam.
Muslims follow, in varying degrees the basic tenants of islam. They range anywhere from “muslims in name only” and are really not practicing muslims – all the way to the very devout islamic jihadists.
I do not hate all muslims, however I definitely hate those muslims who are very devout islamic jihadists – who are at war with the West.
Wellington says
Fine post, James. I don’t think Rod will respond unless it is to deflect attention from the worst religion of all time, i.e., pointing to some other wrongs but not directly addressing the matters raised by you, FYI, mortimer and myself.

At war with the west, James? The Indian “mutiny”, Iraq destroyed by a massive invading western army, the Gallipoli campaign, the Afghan wars of the 1840s, the Afghans wanting Russians, Americans, British out of their country, the Arabs resisting grasping colonial invaders, the Palestinians slowly losing their ancestral lands?
All at war with the West? Strange that they are all defensive wars. Ever thought about that? Why don’t the “West” try staying in the West? Might help.

Richard didn’t say that he hates Omar because she was born Muslim–he criticized her actions.
That a Muslim apologist–“Rod” here–cannot grasp the difference is appalling, but should not surprise. Or perhaps he does understand the difference, but supposes that we cannot.
I and some other posters here have noted that we don’t hate Muslims for being born Muslim–this does not mean that we have to laud the actions of all Muslims, no matter how corrupt or vile.
The idea that no Infidel should be able to say anything critical about any Muslim action–including rape and mass slaughter–is what Shari’ah law demands.
Has “Rod” failed to notice that this has not been imposed in the United States yet?

We do not hate Islam, nor Muslims.
The animalistic behavior of said people, their intent to destroy our way of life and to enslave humanity, yeah, I can fully understand why people would hate that. If you are somehow incapable of understanding that, well maybe you should go and start your education process at the point where you started to have learning difficulties.

Flagrant corruption?
Cohen’s book will be released shortly before the presidential election. His attorney says it will provide “detailed and direct evidence of Trump’s lies and crimes”. Could be about illegal payments to prostitutes, but we all know the Presidential Pussy-grabber did that. But it’s likely Mr Cohen will tell other tales, to be confirmed when the POTUS tax returns are at last prised out of his grubby little fingers. Flagrant corruption?
Meanwhile, questions are asked about the massive quantities of cash arriving in the accounts of nepotistic Trump aides Ivanka and Jared, outside of their White House salaries. More flagrant corruption?
Follow the money, Mr Spencer.
Latest Trump quote, with 155 thousand deaths: “We’re doing very well”. The world looks on, incredulous and horrified.

Rod says
Muslims, gravy? I’m talking about your president’s allegedly criminal conduct. Nothing to do with Muslim apologism.
But since you mention it, why does Mr Spencer single out Ilhan Omar, when POTUS and his ugly, dishonest, callous, frankly idiotic and possibly criminal behaviour is so much more obvious and so much more serious?
Oh! Of course! She’s a Muslim! She must be bad, and he must be good!
Perhaps you remember a previous attack on Ms Omar by Spencer where a little investigation revealed that Spencer had lied to you about what she allegedly said (July 11, 2020). Is he lying to you now? Do you care?
