My latest in PJ Media:
Which side is the celebrated and ever-winsome Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) really on? She showed us again Wednesday evening.
Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) tweeted a video of the radical Leftist Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock with the comment: “Not shocked #Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said ‘You cannot serve God and the military’ at the same time. These & even crazier things is what the radicals who control the Democratic party’s activist & small dollar donor base believe.”
Omar immediately rushed to Warnock’s defense, tweeting: “Mathews [sic] 6:24 ‘No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and dmoney [sic].’ The lies and smears of the GOP have no boundaries, but this is a disgrace and shameful.” It was yet another telling indication of where the notorious Omar’s loyalties lie, and what she thinks of the United States.
The Muslim Biblical scholar was correct that in the Gospel of Matthew (not “Mathews,” as she called it), Jesus says “You cannot serve both God and money.” However, Warnock’s extrapolation of this into a prohibition on Christians serving in the U.S. military is tendentious at best and leads inevitably to questions about the motives of someone who would suggest such a thing. While there was a controversy in the early days of Christianity about whether a Christian could serve in the military of the Roman Empire, it was settled centuries ago, and no Christian sect with the exception of the small groups that are strictly pacifist has ever said that it was un-Christian to serve in the U.S. military. This is yet another indication of where Ilhan Omar’s sentiments truly lie, for were her words heeded and Christians streamed out of the military of this country, our armed forces and the country as a whole would be drastically weakened.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieruk says
Ilan Omar is again showing her own ignorance. This time,of the Bible. For example, if a person carefully reads that account of the Bible book of Acts Chapter ten of which the Roman centurion , a very high ranking position on the Roman military , had converted to Jesus as his God and Savior under the ministry of the apostle Peter,there was not even a hint that this new Christian centurion of the Roman army was instructed by Peter to resign from the army. The Roman centurion ,his name was Cornelius, stayed in the military.
gravenimage says
Walter, I think it is less that Ilhan Omar is ignorant, and more that she hopes we are.
mortimer says
Most people today have not read the New Testament and wouldn’t realize that dutiful Roman soldiers received high praise from Jesus. The attitude of the New Testament is that the Roman army is there to maintain peace, order and stability, rather than as an oppressor.
Most Christian denominations approve of military service.
E T says
Onward Christian Soldiers
somehistory says
First of all, mort, no one can really say for certain that “Most people” do or don’t do any one thing. Many who do read the Bible, do not understand what they are reading and don’t know how to read in the context of when the Bible was written.
Jesus was not a Roman and neither were His disciples at that time. All of His apostles were Jews.
The Jews, did in fact, see the Romans as “oppressors.” They wanted Jesus to remove the Roman yoke, but He told them that His Kingdom was not ready for that at the time.
As for Jesus giving “high praise” to Roman soldiers….He told one who exercised faith in Him that the man had ‘great faith,’ and that was unusual at the time, even for the Jews. Jesus did not commend or “praise” the soldier for being a soldier.
One other thing that stands out: Jesus told the Greek woman that He was there to preach to the Jews. So, He was not there to tell the Romans how to show faith in God or to instruct them in what they should or should not do.
Rarely says
Mortimer.
The Roman soldiers weren’t oppressors but rather some benevolent police force? I don’t think so.

…………………….
All to accurate, somehistory. See the surveys, by the Barna Research Group, posted below, on Nov 21 @ 9:23PM. Christianity in the West is in serious decline.
In the time of Yeshua HaMashiach, the Pharisees and Sadducees were the religious leaders of the Jewish people, and yet, one group, the Pharisees, believed in life after death, and the Sadducees didn’t. Both groups spent their lives studying the same Scriptures and yet, in this critical area, they differed, no wonder, in today’s vernacular, Yeshua called them empty suits.
In the book of Job, Chapter 19, verses 25-27 (NASB) we find this amazing statement;
“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth. Even after my skin is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall see God; Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!”
And that trend continues today, people trying to fit square pegs into round holes, bending, shaping and manipulating the Scriptures to fit “their” narrative.
A ham sandwich walks into a bar and orders a beer, bartender says “sorry, we don’t serve food here.”
Roger Woodhouse says
Well that comment could directly be ascribed to Islam too.!The leftwing media operate under the same concept.The BBC also.
Jim Haugland says
Walter, to understand where she is coming from you need to spend some time studying Islam. Muhammad himself began the Islamic war against Jews and Christians 1400 years ago. A quick good very inexpensive series of small books by Bill Warner, PhD, I highly recommend.
SpencerFan says
There was a Daily Mail Story, dated February 20, 2020, entitled:
“Ilhan Omar DID marry her brother and said she would ‘do what she had to do to get him “papers” to keep him in U.S.’, reveals Somali community leader.”
Did Ms. Omar ever disagree with the Somali Community Leader’s assessment?

Methinks Ilhan attended the Bible study class offered by Leander – our former poster who always went off about ‘Matthews’ Gospel’ ?
Robert Mounger says
Does this mean she will accept Christians instructing her in how to interpret the Quran?
yeah, didn’t think so…
mortimer says
Many Muslims are proud that Islam is a warrior cult and a death cult. This (so they believe) makes Islam superior to Christianity.
Muslims (so they believe) know how to subjugate, exterminate, behead and enslave their foes according to the ‘correct’ methods of Allah.

Biblical Scholar Ilhan Omar: Christians Shouldn’t Serve in the U.S. Military
………………..
We’ve heard this kind of thing from Muslims before, who tell Christians they are not ‘real Christians’ unless they roll over for Muslim savagery.
Infidel says
Wonder whether she has the remotest idea of what would have happened to her had she done in Somalia what she did here: divorce her Muslim husband and marry a non-Muslim man? I’m assuming that Tim Mynette ain’t a convert to islam, although I’m open to being corrected on this one
gravenimage says
Good question.
Brando says
She is with CAIR,which is a MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD front,and the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal is to establish a CALIPHATE (world-rule by Muslims).
1. ILHAN OMAR has nothing to fear,she is using DISSIMULATION/ TAKIYA, as expressed in CHAPTER 16:106:
“The one who disbelieves in Allah after accepting faith –
EXECPT him who is FORCED to and whose HEART is still FIRMLY upon faith
but whoever is wholeheartedly a disbeliever, upon them is the wrath of Allah; and for them is a great punishment.”
2. In this case, she presents herself as a OPEN-MINDED Muslim woman,SUPPORTER of LGBT ( lesbian,gay,bilingual and transgender)
groups.
NOT that she really does in her HEART,but as a way of helping establishing the Caliphate, she,by Circumstances, is FORCED to act that way.
James Lincoln says
Not sure, Infidel.
Perhaps she is using “muruna”.
A common way of using muruna is for a muslim to marry a non-muslim so the full true agenda will not be suspected.
After all, Huma Abedin, married Jewish Congressman Anthony Weiner – possibly for the same purpose…

She isn’t too far off the mark.

Read surah 5:32, its the first example of muslims to tell non-believers how to use their own holy books. It is a described method for the muslims to use in the submission of the Kaffer, just an other jihad method.

True, Reb–this was aimed at Jews who were (supposedly) not living uo to their own values–it is not about Muslims at all, despite so many Islamic apologists pretending that it is.

Westman says
We should have no problem with allowing Omar’s ignorance to shine before Christians so that they may see her evil works and reject Islam.
Wellington says
Omar is symptomatic of a much larger problem, i.e., the Democratic Party of the USA is getting worse by the year and is well on its way to actually being an enemy of America.
Infidel says
I’d say it already is. They may call themselves ‘Democratic socialists’, but they are nothing short of fanatical communists. A lot of them are fans of Hugo Chavez. When colleges spit out kids w/ Che t-shirts, what does one expect them to be? None of these kids ever lived under communism: the only ones who probably did would be recent arrivals from Cuba or Venezuela, and therefore ineligible to vote anyway.
And it’s not just their endorsement of things like minimum wage, universal basic income (which at least has a rationale behind it – automation induced job losses) and strong unions: they’ve also turned dangerously like communist militias in the third world like the Sandinistas, the Khmer Rouge or the Naxalites in India. And I’m not even talking about defund the police: when you have rioters invading people’s homes, yelling at them, threatening to assault them, attacking diners in restaurants, declaring an autonomous zone in Seattle and to make things worse, law enforcement even in places like St Louis and Omaha going after victims of crimes who fired in self defense, then you’re already in third world territory.
Add to that all the woke companies that are only to happy to censor people hated by the mob, demonetize them (like YouTube), shut down their accounts (like GoFundMe) and now a brazen attempt to rig an election, backed up by a compliant media, and you’re fast getting to a point where the only long term solution would be an end to the Democrat Party, and some other parties filling up the gaps

Linde Barrera says
Ilhan Omar is, in my humble opinion, a very screwed-up Muslima who could care less about the US and is only interested in:
-furthering her own power base, ?
-filling her husband’s coffers from campaign donations ? and
-advancing the religion of Satan the devil
which is also called “Islam”. ?
Dwight says
OK ! This article really ticked me off???
I’m a long time true follower/servant of Jesus along with 30+ yrs serving as a D.O.E. Federal security police officer
I work with many fine men who have served in the military and some are fellow Christ servants
This child minded ignorant hypocrite needs to keep her mouth shut and only open to drink eat cough brush her teeth
She has no clue about God’s truth nor can she understand it based on reality fact that the Holy Spirit does not dwell within her
She is also clueless about the wicked futile ideology that worships a moon god
and honors a man as a so called prophet
The eternal spirit of Mohammed is in utter torment in hades and then will be judged and transferred into the eternal lake of fire that is a million times worse that hades
She needs to be called out and face some serious scrutiny
I truly hope that the Holy Spirit we touch her soon and she will say yes to Jesus and cross over from eternal damnation into eternal life
I’ve seen pictures of her in military garb doing training in some paramilitary group
Thank corrupt Obama for allowing her to get into her position that she is not qualified to be in let alone to be allowed to stay in America
Shocking tragic and troubling to a person so lost & enslaved to evil and sin
The wicked sway of Satan has her and millions of lost sheeple duped decieved blinded & blocked from the love truth grace mercy & forgiveness of God

tim gallagher says
Yeah, wouldn’t Muslim maggots like this woman just love it if Christians were pacifists and the Muslim enemy could slaughter or enslave and treat like crap all of the Christians of the world. Everything I hear her say shows her to be a traitor to the USA who is always seeking to help Islam take over with all of its barbaric crap. She is always going to be trying to undermine the USA, which is what most Muslims do to their adoptive western countries.
James Lincoln says
Yes, tim.
She absolutely is a traitor to the United States of America.
But she is triple protected:
1. A woman.
2. A person of color.
3. A muslima.
She is also protected by muslim brotherhood front groups, leftist mainstream media, etc.
Virtually untouchable…
tim gallagher says
As you say, James, she is in quite a few of those “victim” type groups that are supposedly being picked on all the time. I just see her as typical of most Muslims except that she has attained quite a lot of power. My attitude is that it is them or us when it comes to Islam versus our western values and way of life. The 1400 year long war against barbaric, primitive islam goes on and islam is 100% incompatible with our way of life. This woman’s attempts to undermine the civilised western society of the USA is typical Muslim crap, no different to what the Muslim enemy attempts to do all the time in Europe or Australia or New Zealand or any non-Muslim country. Keeping the Muslim enemy out of all non-Muslim countries is the only policy that will work.
Joeyn says
What are brilliant title for this article. Would be a fool to listen to Ilhan Omar on how to be a Christian.
Yasptharaj Nagarajah says
Oop! I meant ‘What a brilliant title’
wpm says
It would be nice If Omar could explain how anyone who is ” truly ” Moslem could follow Sharia law and follow American law and be an elected official to the congress? After taking an oath to obey American laws ,treat “everyone” as an equal (Moslem and non_Moslem ) how she can serve her place in Congress without breaking Sharia law that commands her to either enslave us ,convert us ,or murder us ?? If she were a member of the Nazi party ,or actively attended KKK meetings, she would be called on to answer questions on her “true” beliefs .The newest supreme court judge was asked how her “Catholic faith” would effect her hearings by many democratic members in the Senate in public hearings ,why no one called on Moslem officials in government called on their bigoted ,violent ,racist core values
Charlie in NY says
The questions I would prefer she answer is (1) whether the Qur’an similarly prohibits service in the armed forces and if it allows it then (2) whose armed forces are they permitted to join and (3) does the religion of the potential enemy matter. Then she can provide her exigetical analysis if the relevant texts.
Kilauea says
If Christians shouldn’t serve in the military, then Muslims shouldn’t serve in Congress. Close your pie hole you satanic, Muslim Eahira!
Xavier Basora says
Our Lord himself told soldiers to obey licit orders and be content with their pay.
And many early Christian martyrs were soldiers who refused to apostasize
David Pimentel says
“… were her words heeded and Christians streamed out of the military of this country, our armed forces and the country as a whole would be drastically weakened.”
That is definitely the intention of tyrannical loons like Omar and her sycophantic drone followers.
OLD GUY says
Omar does a good job of serving islam and D-MONEY. Female Muslims according to islam should not be allowed out of the house without their male masters at their side. The only reason she is allowed to be in Congress is she is in America and Islam is using her like a weapon against America. She is totally expendable by Islam and would be stoned to death for her behavior if sharia law were the law of this land. She’s a traitor and enemy of state. Why are our political leaders and the media so afraid of being called an Islamophobe, Most of them have been called a lot worse, by nicer people then these islamic animals.
David Pimentel says
Omar’s past recitation of the Oath of Office was nothing but an example of Taqiyya in action. She is an evil woman.
Kesselman says
Ilhan Oman, the Somali fifth column Beetz, is not only ignorant but shares with her compatriots the ailments of inbreeding. Add to this syndrome her Moslem Brotherhood’s task of infiltrating the US government and you have a political pestilence hard to escape and could be more severe than the Chinese virus known as Covid-19.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
America, you cannot serve god and the military…. –Warnock.
…says the man who benefits from our brave military who fought and died in defense of freedom around the world. If it wasn’t for our military and their good work we might be more like China or N Korea, where his big and ungrateful mouth would land him in jail for his opprobrious speech. How dare this arrogant speaking ingrate question the spirituality of those who with love and courage in their hearts did a patriotic duty for our nation’s people. His own father served in the military, for cripes sake. Jesus said,
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. [J 15:13]
People who serve in our military have declared us their friends, their service to god is inherent to the sacrifice they make on our behalf. They assume the duty of one who is prepared to die for us. And I don’t think that deserves a reprimand, not from an arrogant and ungrateful baptist preacher, not from anyone.
Ilhan Omar is no better, as a muslim her heart is obviously with islam and not our national security. A typical leftist, she’s sowing the seeds of racial division and hate, divide and conquer is the left’s agenda. The left is exploiting the underclass for votes and money, they are paving the way for an islamo-socialist takeover. They won’t rest until they destroy free speech, take our guns, and make us totally dependent on big government to wipe our ass. This is the perfect stew pot for islam to grow. The bigger government gets the less freedom we will have, sharia and islam will have free rein to grow and dominate, especially with leftists in control. Islamists like Ilhan Omar know that for islam to succeed in America our cultural and national pride must first be denigrated and weakened. If people don’t feel proud of their nation they won’t defend it, that makes it vulnerable to attack from within. We see this growing trend with antifa and BLM on our streets, tearing down statues and fomenting racial disharmony with their exaggerated claims and inflammatory speech.This is their collective goal, to create chaos and replace it with a new socialist order. Warnock and Omar are vultures to me, feeding off the dying carcass of America. They aren’t seeking truth, justice, or equality, they are instead pursuing political conquest through exploitation, misinformation, and racial division. The socialists and islamists have become allies in their quest to destroy America. And the only thing that can stop them are the “deplorables” and “islamophobes” who love freedom too much to let it happen.

She’s just enjoying goading those who disagree with her and watch them spin. To her it’s mostly a game…a very vicious one.
somehistory says
It isn’t the place or “right” of anyone to tell a Christian what they should or should not do as a Christian….the Apostle Paul explained it as “We are not your masters in the faith,” and Jesus told His Apostles that :”All of you are brothers; do not be lording it over one another.”
The Apostle James said, “Each one is tried by his own desire.”
Jesus said, ‘Each one must carry his own load.”
Each individual Christian must decide whether Jesus would forbid one to go into the military. But, Jesus did say, “The one who lives by the sword, will die by the sword.” and “Happy (blessed) are the peacemakers.”
It’s right that mature Christians give counsel and advice to others, esp to those who ask for such.
However, no one has to listen or take advice from such as ill omar. She evidently doesn’t even understand her own religion as it forbids a woman to commit adultery. Of course, her religion commands her to lie and so she does. That part …the lying…comes so easy to her.
She doesn’t know a thing about Christian responsibility to God or His Son. She doesn’t even believe in These Divine Persons.
And yes, moslims say they ‘believe’ in Jesus, but they really don’t or they wouldn’t claim what they claim.
Everyone, it seems, likes to tell Christians what they are supposed to do, what they are not supposed to do and ****even what they believe.*****
moslims and atheists insist on assuming they know more about what they don’t believe….the Bible and Faith and Christianity….than one who does Believe in God, in Christ Jesus, and has read the entire Bible a multitude of times. praying for understanding.
ill omar believes….never does she actually ***think****…that she can cause trouble for Christians if she pretends to know what is expected of us and then misquotes God’s Word and twists Scripture.
ill omar is a slimy, lying snake and daughter of satan the devil. Recall that when Jesus was on the mountain, had fasted 40 days and nights, He was visited by the devil….and that demon twisted Scripture in order to get Jesus to commit an act of worship to satan.
ill omar is just following her evil father’s example of deceit. She’s going where that demon serpent is going. Ignore her. Don’t give her the attention she craves.
sam that Iam says
And Muslims are not to serve two gods, so being that you are in our government doing infidel work, I think you have just thrown out the Koran foolish one. Off with her head. You can’t possibly serve our government and the People without serving one or the other. Resign or denounce the Koran you have been found out.
andrew mckendrick says
Where in the Koran does it say that it is allowed for a Muslima to marry her brother?
Leonard says
I have a problem with Islamics making any judgement calls or entering politics. After all, they would be serving two masters, wouldn’t they.
And, what about her oath of citizenship requiring her to put America first? What about OUR laws, does she not understand? She wants Sharia, and she wants to change this country. There is no way I can support her platform.
Reb says
This reminds me of surah 5:32 the one who allegedly tells muslims not to kill. The only surah they can give that should make muslims peace-loving. It happens to be a wrongly quoted vers out of the Torah, telling Jews not to fight the muslims. It is a described method for the muslims to use in the submission of the Kaffer.
