Celebrate diversity! What could possibly go wrong, you racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”?
“Dem Tells High School Grads They’re Entering A World Of ‘Capitalism’ and ‘White Supremacy,’ Encourages Them To Remember ‘Jihad’ And Reject Objectivity,” by Luke Rosiak, Daily Wire, June 11, 2021:
A school board member gave a graduation speech in which she told a mainly-immigrant class of high schoolers that they were entering a world filled with “racism, extreme versions of individualism and capitalism, [and] white supremacy,” and encouraged them to remember their “jihad” and reject the concepts of objectivity and neutrality.
Fairfax County school board member Abrar Omeish gave the keynote address at the commencement for Justice High School in Falls Church, Virginia on June 7.
The ceremony began with a ceremony in which JROTC military cadets were the only people at the graduation who wore masks.
The class president then led what she called “the nation’s anthem,” referring to the pledge of allegiance, in which she said the U.S. was “one nation under Allah.” Omeish was out of view of the camera, but a picture from another recent graduation shows her as the only person without her hand over her heart during the pledge.
The president of the student government then introduced Omeish by noting that she was “Virginia co-chair for the Bernie Sanders campaign” and that her father, Esam Omeish, was a “leader and a board member of the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center” who “raised his daughter to be an outspoken woman.”
Dar al-Hijrah is a mosque attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers as well as the shooter in the 2009 attack on Fort Hood. Its imam was Anwar al-Awlaki, who President Barack Obama ordered killed by drone strike for plotting terrorism for Al Queda. Omeish noted that her father was in attendance at the graduation.
Her address seemed to herald the schools’ roles as political indoctrination centers. “You all kicked off the first ever black history month assembly to ensure that we confront our history and answer honestly about the ills of our past,” she said….
Much of the speech appeared designed to signal that she is unrepentant for a recent tweet in which she called Israel a colonizing state that “desecrates the Holy Land” and “kills Palestinians.”
She indicated that she feels similarly about America, saying “let us acknowledge the stolen land of the Manahoac people,” referring to a Virginia native American tribe.
She lamented the “child forced to question and hate the faith they love because of bullying,” frequently slipping into Arabic in her speech.
Some of her fellow members on the all-Democrat school board have offered tepid criticism of her comments on Israel, but in her graduation speech, she encouraged graduates not to let that kind of thing bother them.
“The world may try to quiet you by deciding for you what’s cool, what’s weird, what is or isn’t objective. It may try to convince you that what you hold dear is too different to be accepted. But who gets to decide? You are walking into a world that will be uncomfortable when you seek to cause good trouble. And that may seek to intimidate you or make you think the truth is controversial,” she said.
“Every part of your being may scream in rage at the ways others have wronged you,” but “let compassion for your fellow human beings, not anger or rage — and believe me this is hard to do — fuel you,” she said.
“No matter how many haters emerge, I’m sure you’ve encountered them yourselves, and believe me they’re a sign you’re unsettling the status quo towards justice. Just consider them your cheerleaders of another breed,” she said.
In her introduction, the student leader said Omeish faced “hatred for speaking truth to power about the Palestinian experience” but “continues to overcome and be an example so that young leaders like us will do the same.”
The introduction from a student also stated that “two years ago [Omeish’s] civil rights were violated by the police due to her appearance. she was attacked and discriminated against.” That entire incident is on video, which shows that an officer pulled over her car after watching her run a red light from a distance, from which her appearance was not visible. She repeatedly refused to show her license and then refused to get out of the car, leading to her arrest….

Question- Who is the clueless white woman sitting behind this traitorous wretch?
Someone needs to contact her and send her some of Robert’s books.

That is Joe Biden, dressed up like a woman.

“…encouraged them to remember their “jihad” and reject the concepts of objectivity and neutrality……”
I’m aghast, but not ‘shocked’.
Reject objectivity and neutrality – almost the first sentence – appalling, awful.
And this rant (cant might be more appropriate) was fired a young minds.
May I humbly suggest a hemloc sup.

Fairfax county PS has enough problems, they don’t need to be subjected to this racist terrorist giving a speech to kids

When I read stories like this I feel like there is no hope for America. I think we might have a chance with K-12. There are a lot of parents waking up (ha ha) to the CRT and radical LBQT (whatever it is now) agenda but then the Left owns the school boards and teaching profession. College I doubt will ever be able to be reformed.
Infidel says
Solution is to defund it, at least at every government level, and leave it to Leftists to fund. In the meantime, steer kids towards vocational training for specific jobs whose demands are unlikely to ever end. Once schools and colleges are starved of students, their funding will go away as well
CogitoErgoSum says
What was the point of acknowledging the “stolen” land of the Manahoac? The American Indian tribes were constantly warring with each other over territorial rights and laid claim to their hunting grounds through the right of conquest. It’s how things worked from a time even before the first human beings migrated to North America. The right to rule over the land belonged to the strongest. When the white Europeans arrived they found themselves to be the strongest. The point of her speech is that the current status quo of the Europeans as the strongest must end and a return to constant fighting between the tribes must resume until control of the land belongs to the Muslims. That is Jihad.
GreekEmpress says
Think I can get a gig at that school and get them to acknowledge the stolen lands of Anatolia, Middle East, etc?
I won’t sit around waiting for a call.
Her hypocrisy is exceeded only by her arrogance.
CogitoErgoSum says
Perhaps at next year’s graduation ceremony the Justice School could invite as a speaker someone who thinks the same as the people appearing in the video linked below. Those who feel they are living on STOLEN land in the U.S. should do as the people in the video recommend. Most of the people who have left comments about the video seem positive about it.

Good points.

And Leftists and Muslims always like to bring up Native Americans–even if, like Abrar Omeish, she would actually have them slaughtered for being Infidels.
It is just intended to instill unearned guilt in mainstream Americans, and prevent them from saying anything critical of the speaker.
Hoi Polloi says
On a reservation recently, our guide made clear that Native Americans are appalled at islam’s treatment of women. Maybe muslims should be made to respect a vote as to whether First Nations want to be used in islamic publicity stunts. And we apparently need a national policy that requires muslims to lay out their 14 centuries of atrocities before they discuss others. I vote for current enslavement, treatment of women, and Armenian genocide to be given equal time as a start.

If she believes in ”first arrived, forever owned” then she should be looking at the Middle East in the same way. Jews are the owners of more land than just Israel. Eliminate the Ottomans and their flunkies and that should be Israel.
Infidel says
Medina and Yemen (Sheba) would definitely be Jewish!
gravenimage says
Good points.
LB says
From what I’ve seen online, all these calls about the “evils” of the White Man done to Native Americans stem from the imaginary fact that before the Europeans came, all tribes lived in peace and unity, smoking hashish and communing with the spirits of nature. In reality, as you pointed out, the native tribes were killing and enslaving each other on a daily basis waaaaaay before Europeans (I’m talking about the very first Vikings) set foot on the new continent.
Basically, it’s just another race-baiting stick used to beat down white people with.
Infidel says
Precisely! Even if everything she said were accurate, her peoples – mohammedans – have no business in it. Even if we were to time-travel and make this a country belonging solely to indigenous peoples, there still wouldn’t – nor shouldn’t – be muslims in it
gravenimage says
If white Americans do not belong here, then surely Muslims from the Middle East do not belong here, either.
Then, Muslims *hate* Native Americans, who are largely Christian, neo-pagan, or atheist.
Hoi Polloi says
You are right; of course they would slaughter them for their resistance to islam. They certainly would not come to liberate them and return their lands and First Nations are far smarter than this idiocy and know this.
gravenimage says
So true, Hoi Polloi.
Wellington says
Utterly repulsive. But between Islam and Western Leftism, individually or combined as temporary allies, always expect repulsiveness—a lot of stupidity, mendacity, parasitism and projection as well.
I think it imperative that any sane human being, who has at least a modicum of common sense, moral intelligence and street smarts, concludes that neither the Islamic “take” on mankind nor the Western Leftist “take” on mankind has any merit whatsoever. Quite the contrary in fact since both are enemies of any noble quest for truth or for any regard for true liberty.
Finally, I would note that “Allah” has finally “come” to America. There is no upside to this. None. A cratering effect is the only outcome precisely to the extent that America allows the rot about “Allah” to be accorded any respect at all. “Allah” and the entire Islamic faith should be seen, must be seen, as inimical to the very finest of Western values, among them a cherishing of liberty, equality under the law, women’s rights, minority rights, a capacity to apologize for past wrongdoings, a capacity to endure mockery, and a true Golden Rule extended to the entire human species regardless of religious belief or the lack thereof—all of which Western values Islam actually instructs its deluded believers to not only oppose but to repress and even kill in order to terminate them.
Yes, Islam should be allowed in the West just as Neo-Nazism, the KKK, Marxism, anarchism, BLM, Antifa, etc. should be allowed in the West but with two conditions: 1) the recognition of their iniquity; and 2) the utter disallowance of these wretched ideas and organizations to carry out so many of their intentions—in short, belief is absolute but action often is not and real freedom revolves around making this distinction.
Hoi Polloi says
Rage-filled rant and no apologies for her own supremacist ideology and its murderous, raping past and present.
Sabri S. says
Awesome, give this brave and blessed Muslima the Nobel Peace Prize!!
Yes, we are making our voices known all over the public spaces and platforms. It will not

may you “always strike fear and terror in the eyes and infidel hearts of the unbelievers”!!
CogitoErgoSum says
Readers should keep in mind that in Muslim-speak the word “peace” actually means “submission.” Also, thank you, Sabri, for reminding us that fear and terror are ways to keep people submissive.
gravenimage says
So true, CogitoErgoSum.
gravenimage says
The Nobel Peace Prize for preaching violent Jihad? Sounds like something a pious Muslim like Sabri S. would say.
And note that Sabri S. is *quite* clear about this being violent Jihad intended to strike fear in the hearts of Islam’s victims.
Also, Sabri S., far from approving of education, has lauded Muslims murdering their daughters if they dare try to go to school.
Andrew Blackadder says
Sabri S: I hope you are trying to be funny, your not, and any “religion” that screams “strike fear and terror into the hearts of unbelievers”, sure aint any kind of peaceful religion, but is rather a Fascist Religious Cult akin to Nazism, Communism,Fascism, Satanic worship,pure evil, and is followed by empty headed morons that cannot think for themselves. Are you one of them, if so, then I feel really sorry for you to have so much hate in your heart for your fellow human being.
Shalom.
Giacomo Latta says
”always strike fear and terror in the eyes”
Ya gotta stop me from laughing first, clown. Islam? Peace? Thank you all for being such nice guests wherever you go.
Hoi Polloi says
“always strike fear and terror in the eyes and infidel hearts of the unbelievers”!!……Here is your oft-cited against others hate speech, (usually for merely quoting your teachings) complete with threats. Hence our Freedom of Speech laws; so you can expose yourselves. Also I see by your open threats that you are US- and Christian-phobic. Isn’t that forbidden by your own islamofauxbia standards? So much in so few words.

Infidel says
Rejecting objectivity is a game two can play, and our side should play it just as aggressively, if not more, than the muslims and Leftists. Otherwise we’re never gonna win!
Maybe the rest of us could do a combined jihad against Critical Race Theory AND Islam in the US
gravenimage says
Only Leftists and Muslims would consider “rejecting objectivity” to be a good thing…
rubiconcrest says
Who can argue with the sentiments expressed above? It is wicked to openly support jihad. Imagine the reaction if she had said Hitler should have killed all the Jews? Islam is the greatest killer, enslaver and ideology of religiously inspired bigotry the world has known. Arguably 30+ times more killing that Hitler and more than all the ‘isms’ combined.
The only reason she can get away with such wickedness is that the people in the audience did not know enough to immediately stand up and tell her to go to hell.

Virginia: Muslim school board member from jihad-linked mosque tells high school students to remember their ‘jihad’
…………………….
Oh, great. How are the Virginia schools allowing this?
She also lies about civilized Israel, here:
https://www.restonnow.com/2021/06/11/fairfax-countys-lone-muslim-school-board-member-reflects-on-uproar-over-israel-criticism/
Note that part of her platform when running for school board–I just *wish* I were joking–is that the school district is unfair…because it is *too good*. Electing her was self-flagellating madness.

Infidel says
I wonder how many of the parents electing board members were fellow muslims. That’s what explains why Ilhan and Rashida have ironclad holds on their districts, and it would also explain how she got elected
gravenimage says
There are a *lot* of Muslims in Fairfax County, Virginia–but they do not make up a majority. There are no direct figures on the percentage of the population that is Muslim that I can find–but there are other figures that give some idea. Over 30 of the populace there is foreign-born, and almost 40% speak a language other than English (some of these folks are bilingual, of course–but many have a language other than English as their first language). There are 16 Mosques in the area.
But like Omar and Tlaib she was not elected purely by Muslims–there were a lot of other useful idiots responsible, as well.
Andrew Blackadder says
Take her speech and hand it over to a European American Christian, now change the words, allah to god, change jihad to struggle, change stolen lands by mentioning the entire Middle East and see how that will work out for that person.
I really dont know why such people wish to come to a country they obviously despise, and there can only be one reason… and it aint to become American in any real sense of the word.
Shame on Virginia for even allowing such trash to speak.
Johnny B says
I’m from Denmark and I for one remember a Pakistani refugee from India (read: economic migrant) who came all the way up here in order to tell us how bad, racist, Islamophobic and terrible, really, our country was even if we provided him with everything; housing, food, money and so on. This was way back in the late 80s and early 90s. He became somewhat of a celebrity back then and the leftist women couldn’t get enough of him and the media too. Imagine this guy, a Pakistani Muslim, with the persecution of Christians back in his own home country. We don’t hear much from this guy any longer – good riddance – but there will always be a large, receptive audience for people like him up here in the West even if they seem crazy to us, don’t expect there is any logic to it or fairness for that matter, it has nothing to do with it.

Yes–Muslims have been whining for a long time that the ‘filthy Infidels’ haven’t ponied up even more freebies.
Donovan Nuera says
The Omeish Family is really the First Family of Stealth Jihad. Her Tunisian-born father is a local surgeon who was also the president of the Muslim American Society (MAS) another Muslim Brotherhood front group. He was a board member of the Falls Church al-Hiraj terror mosque (which sponsored 2 hijackers) and have a bunch of other members convicted of terror charges over the years. It was his decision to recruit fake-moderate go-to MSM imam al-Alawaki from San Diego after 9/11.
Dr. Omeish was selected by Gov. Kaine to be an immigration official for the state but was forced resign when somebody unearthed a video of him making anti-Jewish remarks at a pro-Palestinian rally.
Abrar was selected by the multicultists at he liberal Girl Scouts of America centennial to present then Sec. of State Hillary Clinton with a gift so as to show the groups “diversity” as the poster-child of dhimmi apologists.
At Yale, Abrar was a leader of their Muslim Students Assoc. branch who protested the Buckley Society for hosting a dinner lecture honoring Ayana Hirsi Ali. She DEMANDED an imam to be present on stage to “fact check” any anti-muslim criticism that Hirsi Ali might bring up…like her suffering from FGM and constant death threats in the Netherlands in the aftermath of her colleague Theo van Gogh’s daylight slaughter by a jihadist.
He other sister (her name escapes me) got into Hahvard and worked as a volunteer in the Law School’s pointless Islamic Jurisprudence department under a Prof. Raab (Yet there is NO Catholic or Jewish canon/ talmudic law research center…hmmmmm).
I strongly recommend that DHS, FBI put this family on a checklist as they are taking over, through dhimmi cowardice and ignorance, every power structure in their way. I hope Mr. Spencer showcases them and exposes them whenever their clan makes the news. At least Macron had the guts to close terror mosques; al-Hiraj should be the first one.
I hope the video of her police stop is shown to the local school officials and townsfolk to show what a weasel and liar she is. I did not know of the video but glad somebody found it. It is due to her hubris that she thought that nobody would try to search for it. Then again, Yale rhymes with Fail. Boola Boola Akbar! (it is great that she went to a college where a dog is their mascot!)
Donovan Nuera says
Remember, al-Awalaki was the imam at the San Diego area mosque in La Mesa that likewise sponsored 2 the hijackers as well. He had been also arrested for soliciting a prostitute here, a habit he continued in Virginia.

Islam is the only religion that teaches the faithful the practice of lying called Taqiya (Built-in lying or deceit). As the saying goes “You will know the tree from its fruits”. Which is why the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” is not the same as Allah.
“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.” Matt. 12:33
“God is not a man, that he should lie. Numbers” 23:19

Where do these people come from that are so unfathomably ignorant and unspeakably evil? What possesses them? What idiot approved her selection as “speaker”? Stolen Indian land? The chutzpah! No one, I suppose, is going to drive HER of HER “stolen” property, least of all an indigenous native taking it back because she won’t GIVE it to them. And the fact the entire graduating student body sat there and listened rapturously to her bloviate, tells me their diplomas aren’t worth a tinker’s damn. I don’t think the Second Amendment is going to be a spectator sport much longer.

This is what is coming to America through the open border policy of Press. Biden. Islam is not diversity, it is total domination of your life and mind. This is just the beginning of the muslim/islamic migration invasion of America and it will get worse.

Conflating leftism/the left/progressive (and even Biden) with soft on Islam is not only incorrect, but a gross tactical error. Wake up.

Biden has so far opened the border to illegal Muslim immigrants; has castigated Israel for daring to defend herself against Jihad terror; has vowed to resume shoveling money at Iran and the “Palestinians”, including Hamas; and has claimed that “white surpremacists” are the terror threat, not Jihad terrorists..
How are any of these good things?
Sadly, all that “David Damanad” here–under his various usernames–has done here for the past several years is castigate Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch. He used to be an Anti-Jihadist–not so much of late, sadly.
