She also supports the removal of the Houthis from the terror list. Surprised?
Actually, there is a surprise here. She says: “We have to look at this serious and devastating situation and do everything we can to hold the Chinese government accountable for this genocide that is taking place before our eyes.”
Most Muslim leaders have been quiet about the Chinese treatment of the Uighurs, preferring to focus their efforts on the weaker and more vulnerable West. And it’s extremely unlikely that China Joe’s handlers will challenge China — in fact, he just defended China’s treatment of the Uighurs. Will a split open up in the leftist camp over China?
“U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar: Biden Administration Should Support Referral Of Israeli Officials To The ICC; U.S. Should Hold Chinese Government Accountable For Genocide Of Uyghur Muslims,” MEMRI, February 12, 2021:
U.S. House Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who serves as vice chairperson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, expressed her support for the independence of the ICC and said that Israel and senior Israeli officers, who are accused of war crimes, should be referred to the ICC. She made these remarks in an interview with Al-Araby TV (Qatar) that aired on February 12, 2021. Omar said that Muslims should not just be a part of the administration in America, but they should also run for the office of president of the United States and take leadership roles in the country. Omar added that she welcomes the willingness of the current administration to cancel the designation of certain groups, such as the Houthis, as terrorists and to “restore some order and normalcy in regard to who belongs on that list [of terrorist organizations].” She also said that the Chinese government must be held accountable for the “genocide” against Uyghur Muslims and suggested that the U.S. might play its role like it did in Rwanda, Bosnia and “even in World War II with the Holocaust.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar: “We have certainly not seen high official appointment of Muslims by the Biden Administration, but there are a number of Muslims who are part of this administration. This is something we will have to continue to push for, in order to make sure that the Muslims remain an important part of the social fabric in the United States. They should not just be a part of the administration – but Muslims should also run for president, and take leadership roles in this country.”

Interviewer: “The new Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the Biden administration would not return the U.S. embassy from Jerusalem, to which it was transferred by Donald Trump, and that this administration would continue to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. What has changed, then, from the Trump Administration?”
Omar: “It doesn’t currently seem like a lot will be changed, but there will be an opportunity for us to push for the United States to stand for its values and principles.”
[…]
Interviewer: “Should the Biden Administration support the referral of Israeli officials accused of committing war crimes to the ICC?”
Omar: “I do [support this]. It is also really important for us to remember that the international courts play an important role in rendering justice for people who are not getting justice within their borders. The U.S. should not delegitimize the ICC and the things it must do. It is shocking that the legitimacy of the ICC is something that is being questioned. Their ability to investigate, probe, and render justice is being undermined here in the U.S.”
Interviewer: “Will you demand that the Biden Administration and the State Department support the referral of Israel to the ICC?”
Omar: “I have. This is an important call and we all must guarantee that the ICC remains an independent body. It is an international court that has the authority and the ability to investigate and render justice for people who are denied justice within their borders. No sovereign state should stop the ICC from doing what they should do.”
[…]
Interviewer: “Do you support the removal of the Houthis from the terror list?”
Omar: “The last administration took a lot of actions, including the designation of certain groups as terrorist. We welcome the willingness from this administration to reverse course, cancel these decisions, and restore some order and normalcy in regards to who belongs on that list.
[…]
“It is definite that the genocide against the Uyghur Muslims in China is something that deserves serious attention from this administration. It also deserves the attention of every single person who is against the massive human rights violations in the world.
[…]
“The United States can play a huge role [in this regard]. As you know, the U.S. played a huge role in regards to the Rwanda genocide, it played a huge role in regards to Bosnia, and even in World War II with the Holocaust. We have to look at this serious and devastating situation and do everything we can to hold the Chinese government accountable for this genocide that is taking place before our eyes.”

Voters who still think that the Dems are on the side of Jews and Israel will be increasingly disappointed unless they are totally oblivious, and stoned out of their minds most of the time.
Sleepy, creepy Beijing Bribed’im will not be able to lead anything. He’s a half-dead candidate who became the first half-dead president.

There is a teaching in a community where I am no longer welcome that says, “There are no perfect humans; either perfectly good or perfectly bad.” If we had a “community” present among us who has taught our murder, conquest, looting and enslavement for 1400 years, what would we do? Oh, I forgot, we would bow down and surrender to them. The Chinese are not following our example. Think about it?
My beloved uncle, and father by choice #2 in sequence but not rank, taught me often that there are at least 3 sides to every story: yours, mine and right. Surrender to tyranny and slavery is never the right side.

They have managed to create the impression that muslims are a significant part of the US population…and you let them with your help in some cases and your silence in most cases….
Westman says
What bothers me is her early reference to “we” as Muslims and not as Americans, intimating that her citizenship and office are intended to obtain influence to get something for the “we” that have no real allegiance to the US other than using it. She spoke as if the Qatar TV viewers and interviewer were included in “we”.
She is definitely a politician. Notice the hijab compliance in place of her usual fashionable forehead wrap. And the concern for Uyghurs? If China wasn’t persecuting them, it would be other Muslims. Ask the Baha’i about all that brotherly love between Muslim denominations.

Muslims are still under 1% of the population here–you would never guess that from how they are pandered to.

Grimly true–the more Muslims, the more Jihad.
Mount Zion says
Muslims in the US should never have become a part of the administration of America , should never run for the office of President of the United States and should never take up leadership roles in the country,
they have done enough damage as it is . Notice how Ilhan talks about the persrcution of the Uhigur muslims in China and how she supports the referral of Israel to the ICC . It’s only about her correligionists there is no mention at all about all the christian , jews and non muslims in general who have been killed , victimised and persecuted in muslim countries to the point of leaving everything behind without proper compensation of their businesses , houses and properties .
Westman says
Omar either doesn’t understand or is hiding that she knows the ICC was an opt-in organization which neither the US or Israel joined. The ICC couldn’t have picked a worse time to overreach as Israel decides whether to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. If a war commences, Islamic incompetence will ensure that “Palestinians” and maybe Jordanians will die at the hands of Iran. Then what will the ICC do, prosecute Iran?
We can be certain there are much smarter people, in the shadows, who are pushing the ICC to overreach.

I’ll tell you what you snake, I’ll worry about what china might be doing to moslums when you concern yourself with what moslums are doing to Christians in egypt, pakistan, sudan, nigeria, yemen, somalialand, somalia…oh, oh, your so wonderful home country, etc. and speak about the genocide of these people. When you declare that it’s wrong for moslums to murder Christians…men, women, children, and destroy their homes, businesses, places of worship, and commit mass murder in France, the U.K., Russia, etc., then some of us may get around to talking about your concerns. Oh, and don’t forget to say it’s wrong for moslums to murder the Jews, in and outside of Israel.
Since she is not part of the State Department, she really does not have the authority to speak about what the president should/should not be doing regarding other countries. She may have obtained a vice chair…such a fitting description of her seat as she has committed crimes of vice…but that is no authority to speak on behalf of the country.
And the average American is not idiot enough to elect a moslum president. What insanity. It’s enough that ‘o’ was “elected”…moslum creep that he is…when he claimed to be Christian and so many fools believed him.
Frank Anderson says
S.H. for whatever it may be worth to you, there is substantial agreement between us on this.

it’s worth a lot to me.
I was just recalling that it was qatar…”gutter”…on whose behalf omar was working a couple of years ago. According to someone who had inside information. I don’t know where that information finally landed, but it should have been big news and omar should have been out of the House on her ear and inside the “big house.”

So Beijing forgot to grease Ilhan Omar. Maybe if they tossed in a few billion into Tim Mynette’s account, she might be persuaded to look the other way on the Uyghurs? Since she’s completely oblivious to the deals that most muslim countries have w/ Beijing: some, like the Gulf countries, want Beijing’s help to develop their tech sectors, while others, like Pakistan are wholly owned by Beijing due to belt/road debts
Actually, it’ll be funny to see Ilhan clash w/ the likes of Erdogan or Imran or Khamenei on the issue of China: it would hopefully split the US ummah, part of which has extra-territorial loyalties to individual countries like ‘Palestine’ or Pakistan or Turkey, as opposed to the global ummah as a whole

Ilhan Omar on Qatar TV calls on Biden’s handlers to back ICC ‘war crimes’ prosecution of Israel

Andrew Blackadder says
She has certainly learned how to speak Politician lingo, and pandering to a muslim TV interviewer on Qatar TV, even her rag was not of the normal type she wears when in the Halls of Congress, which had a Law in place for over 180 years where it was forbidden for ANYBODY to wear a covering on the head while within the Halls of Congress, but she can.
Many Towns and City Councils across America now say a muslim prayer before doing the business of the Council, even if the Councilors are NOT muslim they stand with their heads bowed while some turbaned headed dude recites, “My god has a bigger cock then your god and you will soon be my slave” in Arabic,, and then they thnank the Turbaned dude for “sharing”…
We,in the West, have seriously lost the plot and muslims around the World are laughing their heads off at us.

If the Israeli leaders should go before the ICC, and I don’t think they should, why doesn’t advocate for the Chinese leaders to be brought before the ICC, instead of the US holding them accountable.
OLD GUY says
Ilhan Omar, who cares. She is just now a useful female idiot for the islamic all male rule. When she is no further use to them she will become a sex slave in the harem or her head will be on the floor. In her case Muhammad is right her intelligence is only worth half of a man, evident by her support for islamic treatment of women.
tgusa says
Perhaps the Chinese saw what the culture destroying islamic supremacists have done around the world but the Chinese are not as stupid as other parts of the world. She is angry at the Chinese because the Chinese are of a Chinese culture first mentality.
tgusa says
She is part of the American culture destroying democrats I believe that she and her party validate what the Chinese might be worried about. Democrats are the poster child of cultural destruction. Anyone any country anywhere that likes and values their culture should steer clear of the culture destroying democrats.
