“It’s all about the benjamins,” Rep. Ilhan Omar had explained America’s support for Israel.
What’s the explanation for Omar’s support for Islamic terrorists? Considering her alleged adulterous affair with her non-Muslim chief fundraiser that broke up her marriage (he has since married her and converted to Islam) that led her father to ban her from her deathbed, it’s not as if the Somali Muslim politician from Minnesota is, despite her ritual hijab, all that devout.
Rep. Omar’s hatred for America and Jews is no doubt sincere and commonplace in her part of the world, but recent revelations have raised questions about whether ‘benjamins’ are involved.
Last year the terrorist sympathizer and her new husband jetted off to Doha for the World Cup games where she shared pictures of them posing with soccer star David Beckham and an unknown man in a burnoose. Omar offered scant further details on the trip where she was seen in the stadium with a good view of the games, but in her financial disclosure she was forced to reveal that the Qatari regime paid for her meals and hotel room.
And that a trip to Pakistan had been paid for by the Pakistani government.
Both Qatar and Pakistan are state sponsors of Islamic terrorism. Both had ties to Al Qaeda and the attacks of 9/11 which Rep. Omar had dismissed as “some people did something”.
The Pakistani government had harbored Osama bin Laden in one of its military towns and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, had been a Qatari government employee.
During her visit, Omar met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif who had initiated negotiations with Al Qaeda and offered to “reestablish normal relations as long as they do not conduct operations in Punjab”. Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States had claimed that Osama bin Laden had backed Sharif’s brother. Rep. Omar also met with former Prime Minister Imran Khan, nicknamed ‘Taliban Khan’, who had referred to Bin Laden as a “martyr”.
Omar’s Qatari trip also took her into the heartland of Islamic terrorism.
The 9/11 Commission Report revealed that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had evaded capture after the World Trade Center bombing due to the intervention of a prominent Qatari official allowing him to continue the terror plots that led to the September 11 attacks. A Times story claimed the “government of Qatar is paying millions of pounds a year to Al-Qaeda”.
Qatar hosts the Muslim Brotherhood, along with the Taliban negotiations that convinced the United States to allow the Jihadists to take over Afghanistan, and is allied with Iran. It’s also a backer of Hamas: the Muslim Brotherhood terror group responsible for the murder of Israelis.
Rep. Omar had previously been accused of serving as a Qatari asset in a Florida court case against a member of Qatar’s ruling Al-Thani family who had, according to a lawsuit, ordered murders on American soil. During the case a Kuwait-born businessman had submitted a deposition claiming that Qatari officials “recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official… They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest.”
The politician’s office had denied the reports claiming that the “only people Rep. Omar represents in Washington are the people of Minnesota’s 5th District”.
But Minnesota’s 5th District is a long way from Qatar or Pakistan.
While Omar’s trip to Qatar was controversial because the World Cup depended on slave labor, her visit to Pakistan was even more disturbing and was condemned by India’s government.
During Rep. Omar’s trip funded by the Pakistani terrorist state, she visited parts of India’s Kashmir territory illegally occupied by the Islamic nation. India’s foreign ministry responded by accusing the radical congresswoman of “violating our territorial integrity and sovereignty.” Omar would later announce a boycott of Indian Prime Minister Modi’s speech to Congress while claiming that the leader was cracking down on the Muslims occupying India’s Kashmir area.
She met with Taliban and Al Qaeda allies in Pakistan’s political establishment and took the terror state’s side in its demands on Kashmir. According to official reports, she described her fight against “Islamophobia” with former Prime Minister Imran Khan who had utilized blasphemy laws to persecute Christians. Prime Minister Sharif, who had sought to negotiate with Al Qaeda, celebrated Omar’s “courage of convictions and her political struggle.”
Omar traveled with Tahir Javed, a Pakistani Democrat donor and deputy finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who is closely involved in both American and Pakistani politics, and has met with politicians from both countries including Joe Biden.
Javed, who at one point explored a congressional bid, is a supporter of Imran Khan, who had hailed Osama bin Laden as a martyr. The Pakistani businessman had hosted a fundraiser for Omar and donated to her campaign. One photo shows Javed meeting with Rep. Omar, Rep. Maxine Waters and Senator Chris Van Hollen to lobby for more aid money for Pakistan.
The DNC deputy finance chair had also hosted Hamza Yusuf, an Islamist who had defended the blind terror sheikh linked to the World Trade Center bombing. “I am a citizen of this country not by choice but by birth. I reside in this country not by choice but by conviction in attempting to spread the message of Islam in this country,” Yusuf had previously declared.
Rep. Omar is not an outlier, she’s a symptom of the subversion of her political party.
The revelation that the Pakistani government had funded Omar’s anti-India trip to a terror state and that she had been accompanied by a major donor has more than a whiff of ‘the benjamins’.
As does her glamorous trip to what critics had called the ‘World Cup of Shame’.
Supporting Islamic terrorism and undermining America comes with hotels and meals included.
Rep. Omar had dismissed the 9/11 Islamic attacks on America as “some people did something.” As revelations about terror state funding of her foreign trips continue to emerge, it seems that some people not only did something… they also paid for someone.

Life has loopholes, which ever vigilant evil exploits:
Using the system to destroy the system
Using democracy to destroy democracy
Using people to destroy people
But what evil wants most, but will always fail to accomplish, is to use God to destroy God.
It’s excruciating waiting for divine justice.
Susan Pinkard says
Aren’t foreign contributions to American political candidates illegal?
Chief Mac says
Of course they are. But since when do Dumbacraps concern themselves with mere laws.
She is the main Islamofascist representative in congress, though most of the cult supports terrorism as well
Jim Campbell says
No they aren’t when laundered properly.
Daniel Greenfield says
Only as long as they’re made out in the form of a check during a political campaign
lots of loopholes including
1. foreigners contributing to nonprofits that help political campaigns
2. funding campaign prep like the Clinton Foundation or the Penn Biden Center
3. They can pay for travel expenses and lodging for politicians like Omar
This is why more states need to pass laws banning foreign money.

“The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war….
The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them….
Americans understand we fight not a religion; ours is not a campaign against the Muslim faith. Ours is a campaign against evil.” – Republican Establishment Christian Conservative, George W. Bush
Thanks George.

World@70 says
Those remarks by George Bush after 9/11, regardless of how false were possibly aimed at avoiding violent reactions and more destruction. Whatever! But what it did was to whitewash the religion of Islam as non-violent which it isn’t. The other day I was reading about Shannad O’Conner’s conversion to Islam. She stated that after reading the 2nd chapter of the Quran she knew Islam was was the truth (for her I suppose) but, if I read that chapter correctly, it calls for the destruction of all other religions (non-believers) about 7 times. That just doesn’t sound like a religion of peace.

“The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them….”

Tony Petroski says
I must confess, I’m shocked, shocked, that Representative Omar/Elmi did not have to spend many “Benjamins” to fund her glamorous trip to the World Cup of Shame. And here’s another shock, shock, to me: Omar/Elmi may be a Qatari asset and has been taking-in “Benjamins” from the Pahkeestonees (Obama’s pronounciation).
You see, we here in Minneapolis thought that Omar/Elmi represented the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, and, secondarily, the Glitteratti of Los Angeles,. You know, celebrities like David Beckham and woke Hollywood stars. are here core constituency.
As Mr. Greenfield notes, “Minnesota’s 5th District is a long way from Qatar and Pakistan.” That’s true. And there’s no reason why Minneapolitians should enjoy the many benefits of diversity while the Qataris and the Pakistanis have almost none. Therefore, I call on Ms. Omar/Elmi to choose one of them, become a Qatari or a Pakistani, and help bring the benefits of diversity to the world. We in Minnesota will just have to muddle-on without her “representation.”
Daniel Greenfield says
The Qataris use Somalis as slaves. But perhaps if Omar and her Somali voters could consider leaving the evil Great Satan and returning to the Ummah
Jim Campbell says
That would require brains Daniel, in short supply among them.
NAVY ET1 says
An alternative headline might be: Terrorists Do What Terrorists Do
One of the “sticky wickets” of constitutionally protected freedoms is the freedom to have one’s own beliefs and act accordingly to them as long as they don’t break or supersede other constitutional laws. While Omar is far from intelligent, she’s at least smart enough to have others pay for her terrorist junkets. All of this will keep her on intelligence service radar until such time as 1) her asset accreditation becomes undeniable or 2) America goes full blown socialist, at which point she’ll be working for THEIR side.
The wolves aren’t at the gate, they’re inside the House.
Daniel Greenfield says
I’m not sure there’s a red line for asset accreditation for members of the partying good standing
Just ask Hunter and Rep. Swalwell
Kynarion Hellenis says
At a minimum, those who hate the United States, whose loyalties are divided, should not be citizens, much less representatives (now rulers).
The law means nothing. No border law. No law against monopolies (who use their growing power for our political, cultural and social destruction). No election law to prevent tyrannical takeover. All laws to prevent our destruction and to restrain evil have been abandoned.
So many Christians apply Romans 13 to mean we must obey an evil government as instituted by God. But that same chapter also says government is God’s servant for our good and an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer. We do not have this government – quite the opposite.
So, there must be a duty to disobey, to throw off such government and provide new guards for our security (as Jefferson wrote).
What exists now cannot continue, but there is no people, no unified culture or purpose to preserve. We will not unify behind a proposition nation that says everyone interchangeably the same.
RobL says
The camel’s nose, full of hatred for America, is in the tent. The FBI and CIA should be tagging this cretin, following her every move, rather than making real President Trump the enemy. This one is likely to stuff a weapon in her turban and scream ‘all go to the snack bar’ as she causes real harm to others in the House Chamber.
Daniel Greenfield says
Best of all there are dozens more like her in state legislatures
SPURWING PLOVER says
People like Omar shouldn’t be allow to run for office totally and that goes to the UN Terrorists supporters

Stealth jihad. What oil rich Middle East countries like Qatar are using
against the United States. Qatar is funding hundreds of millions of
dollars to major universities throughout the U.S. and none will reveal
what strings come attached with the donations. Georgetown
University actually has a campus in Qatar! And Qatar has spent
millions in hiring public relations, lobbying and law firms to peddle
Islamic influence in American government.
Nothing could describe America-hating, Jew-hating Muslima Ilhan
Omar better than the word ‘stealth’. Entrenched in the U.S. Congress
now to do her dirty work – it does not seem a stretch to believe her
jaunts to Qatar and Pakistan were to further plot and plan America’s
fall to Islam.
Daniel Greenfield says
The Islamic oil states have money, but little military power so they turn to subversion

Representatives are supposedly representing the interests of their district and city or state, but this woman seems to be representing the anti=Israeli, anti=American segment of the population. Not Minnesota or the Twin Cities. She should not have been supported by the DFL or elected by voters in Minnesota. Just because the democrats want to claim the mantle of DEI and progressive multi-culti values does not give her the right to betray the values of her adoptive country. She has no business in Congress or even the state legislature. The Democrats should be ashamed. They should find a candidate who represents the people of Minnesota and not those of some Muslim countries in the Near East or Africa. But the Democrats are stubborn and voters have inertia, they will not back off or back down, even if something terrible happens.
commonsense says
Ilhan Omar’s Congressional district is full of Muslims. They overwhelmingly voted for her That’s how she was elected, and she will be re-elected because her Muslim constituents continue to steadily increase in number, thanks to their high birth rates and our idiotic immigration policies.
Esther Fay says
It’s all about the terrorist groupie!
Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim politician ,Ilhan Omar is very anti-Jewish and likewise very anti- Israel, as seen in those anti- Israel foreign policies she always keeps on pushing for. Therefore Omar is ,in essence, un-American . As former US President, William Howard Taft, wisely, declared in a speech that “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out it has no place in America.”
Likewise, Omar favors Sharia for American instead of the United States Constitution. About that stealth jihadist, Omar, a grand statement in a speech former President Theodore 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.”
In addition, Omar is so terrible and such a danger to US Homeland Security that even an American imam had described Omar as “ISIS with lipstick.” [1]

Walter Sieruk says
That stealth jihadist, Ilan Omar, must want to encourage and incite crime, chaos and mayhem in the States by defunding the police force.
How sinister !
The only “rational” reason that she would want to do this to America would be an Islamic hope for the downfall of this US Constitutional based nation so that this country can be reestablished under the rule of Islam’s Sharia
What else could be the reason for her scheme to defund the police force ?
Walter Sieruk says
As much a Ilan Omar hates the State of Israel with an Islamic malice-filled vicious and would like to see Israel destroyed and replaced with an Islamic “state” her wish and desire for that to occur will never happen.
Because God favors Israel so much that she is special treasure so much so that He will not let her be destroyed
The reason why this is so be because according to the Bible the Jews have all the land that now makes up the State of Israel ,including the West Bank by Divine Right. As found in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105: 7-11. .
Furthermore, the Jews should have all this land by historic rights. As seen in First Kings 4; 20,21,24,25. 8:55, 56.
As Psalm 135:4 reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself , Israel for His special treasure.”

John Blackman says
psalm 33 v 12 . ” blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ” assuming the obverse is true then a nation is cursed if he is not . the bible also declares that judgement will come on the church that is supposed to represent his name then the nation . ishmael is the father of the arab nations , gen. ch 16 describes him thus , v 12 ” he will be a wild donkey of a man , his hand will be against everyone , and everyones hand will be against him , and he will live to the east of all his brothers . ” islam is a cult , not as it is described generally to be one of the 3 great religions . now that politicians on both sides have allowed the trojan horse of islam inside the gates , america is doomed and will collapse for its complicity of allowing a cult into its ranks to usurp the govt. and pay them for the privilege . all nations historically have lasted 200 years before collapsing , america has gone past its use by date . be prepared for worse . in the meantime you need to read ” the secret apparatus ” by cynthia farahat . you need to know the enemy . !!
