Omar Holding Secret Fundraisers With Islamic Groups Tied to Terror
Closed-door events spark further questions about anti-Semitic rhetoric
BY: Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon,
Story continues below advertisementDemocratic freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) has been holding a series of secret fundraisers with groups that have been tied to the support of terrorism, appearances that have been closed to the press and hidden from public view.
The content of these speeches, given to predominately Muslim audiences, remains unknown, prompting some of Omar’s critics to express concern about the type of rhetoric she is using before these paying audiences, particularly in light of the lawmaker’s repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes in public.
Omar recently spoke in Florida at a private event hosted by Islamic Relief, a charity organization long said to have deep ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Israel. Over the weekend, she will appear at another private event in California that is hosted by CAIR-CA PAC, a political action committee affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR a group that was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a massive terror-funding incident.
Omar’s appearance at these closed-door forums is raising eyebrows in the pro-Israel world due to her repeated and unapologetic public use of anti-Semitic stereotypes accusing Jewish people of controlling foreign policy and politics. With Omar’s popularity skyrocketing on the anti-Israel left, it appears her rhetoric is translating into fundraising prowess.
It remains unclear what Omar has told these audiences in her private talks. Washington Free Beacon attempts to obtain video of past events were unsuccessful, and multiple local news and television outlets in the Tampa, Fla., area, where Omar spoke to Islamic Relief last month, confirmed they were unable to gain access to the closed door event.
Islamic Relief has come under congressional investigation for what lawmakers have described as its efforts to provide assistance to terrorist group such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The charity has been banned by some countries as a result of these ties.
In 2017, Congress sought to ban taxpayer funds from reaching the charity due to these terror links.
A representative from Islamic Relief declined to provide the Free Beacon with any material related to Omar’s appearance.
“The event was closed to the media. No materials are available,” the official said.
On Sunday, Omar will hold another meet and greet in Irvine, Calif., for CAIR-CA PAC. Those wishing to hear Omar speak are being asked to donate anywhere from $50 to $250 dollars, according to a flyer for the event.
The CAIR event also appears closed to the press. Free Beacon attempts to contact the organizer and obtain access were unsuccessful. Requests for comment on the nature of the speeches sent to Omar’s congressional office also were not returned.
CAIR, a Muslim advocacy group known for its anti-Israel positions, was named by the U.S. government as part of a large network of groups known to be supporting Hamas.
CAIR has been cited by the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, for using its network of supporters to promote an “anti-Israel agenda.”
“CAIR’s anti-Israel agenda dates back to its founding by leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a Hamas affiliated anti-Semitic propaganda organization,” according to the ADL. “While CAIR has denounced specific acts of terrorism in the U.S. and abroad, for many years it refused to unequivocally condemn Palestinian terror organizations and Hezbollah by name, which the U.S. and international community have condemned and isolated.”
Sarah Stern, founder of president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth, or EMET, a pro-Israel group that has condemned Omar for promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, told the Free Beacon that the private nature of these events before controversial Islamic groups is very concerning.
“I just wonder what is Rep. Omar saying to a group of Islamic supporters that she feels is so secretive that she cannot say it to the American people, as a whole?” Stern wondered. “What is so secretive that it has to be off the record and closed to reporters? Will she say the same things in public to her Jewish voters in Minnesota that she says to her Islamic friends? What does this tell us about her openness, her honesty and her integrity?”
One veteran Republican political operative expressed concern about the secretive nature of these talks, telling the Free Beacon that Democrats must hide behind-closed-doors to appease these groups with anti-Israel rhetoric.
“Of course she’s holding these meetings in secret. That’s just how Democrats roll these days,” the source said. “They’re for limiting your ability to spend money on the candidates you want to support, and for secretly fundraising from Islamist groups who support them. It really puts their support for campaign finance reform into perspective.”
After last month’s Islamic Relief event, Stern’s EMET and many other pro-Israel groups penned a letter to Democratic leaders in the House demanding Omar’s removal from the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee. These groups argued that Omar’s anti-Semitic rhetoric and secretive meetings should disqualify her from a seat on that committee, which oversees the U.S.-Israel military alliance.
“Rep. Omar’s presence as a keynote speaker to raise funds for Islamic Relief USA, whose parent organization and chapters have documented ties to terrorist organizations, demonstrates that she has learned next to nothing over the last few weeks when she was reprimanded by your office and by other Democrats for posting ugly, anti-Semitic attacks on Jews and their organizations,” the pro-Israel groups wrote in a letter send to House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Elliott Engel (D., N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).

She’s busy updating fellow Muslim terrori$t$ on what we are doing and gathering ideas on how to sabotage us. She is not the brightest bulb out there. Inbreeding is rampant with Somalians. She even married her brother! She lives and breathes hatred for the U.S. and all it stands for.

I agree with Mrs. Patriot. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MODERATE MUSLIM. There is such a thing as an EX-MUSLIM, but they would be marked for death by their Muslim demon friends.
ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION. It is an IDEOLOGY.
There is NO redemption in Islam.
There is NO forgiveness in Islam.
There is NO FREE WILL in Islam.
ISLAM CONSISTS OF NEGATIVE LIBERTIES.
……….Therefore, ISLAM cannot exist under our U.S. Constitution.
ISLAM ENSLAVES A PERSON TO ITS LAWS IN SHARIA.
ISLAM came AFTER Jesus died on the cross, so MUHAMMAD was JUDAS.
NO, THERE IS NO MODERATE MUSLIM. Under the Taqiyya, they are allowed to LIE AND DECEIVE the infidel to meet their end goals.
DO YOUR RESEARCH.

This is the gratitude these Muslim refugees show when they are allowed into a non Muslim country. They hate us non democrats because they cannot manipulate us like the brain dead lefties. Thanks Obama for letting all your ‘brothers and sisters’ enter a civilized country, so they can spread their evil ideology.

HOW is that possible to be a fan of Shumer? HOW? The man is a KNOWN liar. Well, maybe THAT is why you are not a fan anymore.
I used to be a Democrat, so I guess I do understand where you are coming from. I have friends and relatives who are NOW Republican BECAUSE of Trump. So, I think there are more of us than the MSM tells everyone. I think there are WAY MANY MORE TRUMP SUPPORTERS THAN THERE EVER WAS. Me thinks it has doubled.

Here’s what most people don’t get about Trump….he is not an ideologue…he’s been a Democrat so he could do business in NY…He worked in Ronald Reagan’s campaign when he was young.
He’s more of a Capitalist/Nationalist…. he’s for whatever is good for America.
Thanks to the RINOs in our Congress, I no longer identify as just a Republican…..I clarify it with I am a REPUBLICAN NATIONALIST…..MAGA!

Just curious, TD….why were you a fan of Schumer?
And now that you aren’t, are you prepared to no longer support him?

It isn’t a secret any longer. Omar and her Jihad allies are numerous; the entirety of the Democrats, and every bloody Jihadi on the planet. It, of course, does not concern the Democrats that she is fundraising terror and advocating genocide of non-Muslims, specifically the Jews. Nor does it cause the FBI, the DOJ or other agencies to indict this woman for treason and colluding with the enemy, as the enemy entrenches itself within the above-mentioned agencies, the Democrats and others bent on the overthrowing of the Republic, and the annihilation of Jews and the State of Israel.

Now that we have a new AG, why can’t we go after CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood?
I’d bet if you look into her past dealings, besides marrying her brother, there is lots of stuff to use against her and get her out of position if not worse. Our two tiered justice system is pathetic.

If Trump is smart enough , he should pass E.O to ban all terror linked persons from coming to America and those who advocate for them should lose their citizenship and deported as terror agents.
Unless this is done there will be never ending cases . And America will become like canada/EU
Like Left/Liberal Loons Run Canada has been turned into ISIS/jihadi base https://tinyurl.com/y74v5327

It’s why I keep saying we need two Border Walls….one on the South and one on the North….there are more Muslims amassing there to eventually invade us from the North than any other border or egress…..

I agree totally, ladywarrior; the Trudeau government is aligned with the Muslim horde, not unlike the Democrats. The southern border is obviously in need but for potential voters for the Democrats. The Democrats were and remain steadfast and hell-bent on the Republic’s downfall. If the electorate is so gormless, we are in you know what up to our necks or over our heads.

If this Muslim terrorist supporter married her brother then she has no right to be in the country. She has obviously lied about her refugee status, Apart from some Muslim countries, I cannot imagine any country allowing a brother and a sister to marry and being granted admission. Why is this not being investigated?

Thus this treasonous you know should face indictment along with others of her party. There are also the RINOS who should not evade indictment.

She needs to be tried for treason, and if convicted, made an example of. The last person convicted and put to death for treason was Tomoya Kawakita in 1952. It’s time to update.

Illan Omar is a puppet of CAIR,the Wahabis, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Whatever she is saying and advocating at these secret meetings is the carefully scripted message of her masters. It is time for AG Barr to order a full FBI investigation and to prosecute these groups and Omar for aiding and abetting terrorism and the financing of terrorist groups. CAIR needs to be banned along with these other identified subversive organizations.

FREE PALESTINE? Palestine NEVER had a country of their own. It was always part of another region. ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE JEWS AND HAS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANKIND. God gave Israel to the Jews and ONLY TO THE JEWS. The Jews were kind enough to allow these godless creatures to live among them UNTIL WW2 when Muslims began rising up again, against them because of Hitler.
It is time that the Palestinians either integrate with other people PEACEFULLY, OR go live in the desert away from people. Otherwise, GOD IS GOING TO DESTROY THEM.
The Bible is very clear as to who owns Israel and Jerusalem. It was only by man’s grace (not God’s) that they are where they are today. WHEN JESUS RETURNS, ALL ANTI-ISRAELI PEOPLE, INCLUDING MUSLIMS, LIBERALS AND ALL OTHER EVIL PEOPLE, WILL BE DESTROYED once and for all.
WARNING: either listen to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or spend eternity with Muhammad, Hitler, Mussolini, Marx, Lenin, and Castro, in hell.

There was never any such thing as Palestine ….the ones occupying it now were for centuries and centuries nomads in the desert….they never had a home base or town…..it was the Muslims that put them in there next to the Jews…. for ultimate destruction and eradication…

Why do I keep feeling like Omar is not going to finish her first term in the Congress? She acts like she’s untouchable….unaccountable.
It’s been my experience for 7 decades that people who act and think they will not be held accountable…..usually end up getting smacked down…..can’t come soon enough for me…..
