Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has questioned the loyalties of Jewish American supporters of Israel. That inevitably raises a question about her own loyalties. You can certainly take the Muslim refugee out of Sharia-controlled Somalia, but can you take Somalia out of the refugee?
In the wake of the 1991 Somali civil war, the Mogadishu-born Omar and her family fled the strife-torn country to neighboring Kenya where they languished for four years in a refugee camp near the border. She and her family finally were warmly embraced by America in 1995 when their application was approved, and the family moved to Minneapolis. Five years later at age 17, she became an American citizen. Finishing college at North Dakota State in political science and international studies, she eventually became involved in American politics culminating in her 2018 election to Congress at age 38. We call that living the American dream. Talk about opportunities in America for a Somali-born Muslim!
Certainly, she should be overwhelmingly thankful to the majority white, traditionally Christian country that welcomed her and her Sunni Muslim family with open arms and ultimately enabled her to become Representative Omar. Well, not so fast. Maybe it’s just me, but I keep waiting to hear from Omar something along the lines of, “I am so deeply grateful to America for taking me and my family in and saving us from a life of misery, poverty and danger. This is why I am totally committed to the core Constitutional values of America that have created such a wonderful and generous country giving me an opportunity I could not have dreamed of anywhere else in the world, particularly Somalia.”

Once a Muslim, always a Muslim. Remember, these people still believe toilet paper is evil and use their bare hands to wipe their butts. How are we going to reason with people like that?
For Your Information
You may think the story about Ms. Omar not using toilet paper are a joke but they are not. I spent three years in the middle east and can tell you from personal experience the Muslims have strict religious rules about using the toilet and the rules are known as Qadaa' al-Haajah.
Muslims are discouraged from pooping in the shade (I kid you not) and are to enter the toilet left foot first. They should face away from Mecca, remain silent and refrain from eating while using the toilet. They should exit the toilet right foot first. They are required to wash with their left hands only but washing the hand afterward is optional.
