it is an outright lie that she married her brother..
that was dreamed up by a right wing blogger in Minnesota a few years ago, nearly got him locked up.
Blatant lie.. extreme attack even for a right winger..
Now, the national right wingers see her as a future problem so they bring back the old and rotten lie..
Some food for thought. Well maybe, permanently frosted brains don't think much.
Anyway, the night Radical Rashida Tlaib won her House seat, she wrapped herself in a Palestinian flag.
Dateline: January, 1991 to October, 1993, Somalia erupted in civil war following the overthrow of President Mohamed Siad Barre. Two powerful war lords, Ali Mahdi Muhammad and Mohamed Farrah Aidid, were fighting each other and four opposition groups for political control.
In September 1991, severe fighting broke out in Mogadishu (the capitol), which continued in the following months and spread throughout the country, with over 20,000 people killed or injured by the end of the year. These wars led to the destruction of Somalia's agriculture, which in turn led to starvation in large parts of the country.
The international community began to send food supplies to halt the starvation, but vast amounts of food were hijacked and brought to local clan leaders, who routinely exchanged it with other countries for weapons. An estimated 80 percent of the food was stolen. These factors led to even more starvation, from which an estimated 300,000 people died and another 1.5 million people suffered between 1991 and 1992. In July 1992, after a ceasefire between the opposing clan factions, the U.N. sent 50 military observers (Pakistani peacekeepers) to watch the food's distribution.
To make a long story short, the situation in Mogadishu continued to worsen, the starvation and violence increased. In October, 1993, American Rangers attempted to arrest Mohamed Farrah Aidid. We all know the story of "Black Hawk Down".
On October 4, 1982, Ilhan "Allahu Akbar" Omar was born in Mogadishu, her family moved to Baidoa, Somalia, capital of the southwestern Bay region. Baidoa suffered severely during the civil war.
Ilhan "Allahu Akbar" Omar lived in this world of strife and starvation for 10 years, she was right in the middle of it. This young impressionable girl picked up on things, her world view was formed in the crucible of political and ideological violence. You could say she got educated in a radical Muslim environment.
The old saw that "you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy" applies equally to girls. Ilhan "Allahu Akbar" Omar got the hell out of Somalia and brought a hell of lot of Somalia with her.
Just as socialist democrats are getting the hell out of places like California to escape the oppressive policies socialist democrat politicians and bring socialist democrat policies with them.
