[ April 23, 2024 ]
In the House yesterday, Representative Ilhan Omar refused to vote for a resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide. The non-binding resolution passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 405-11. During and immediately after World War I, The Islamic Ottoman Turks tortured and slaughtered millions of Armenians, Assyrian and Greeks — a Christian minority in the Muslim empire — capping the centuries of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations and enslavements.
When the Muslim world, most especially Turkey, recognizes the genocide — like Germany did with the Holocaust — only then can we say that the Muslim world is making some headway out of the savage and brutal teachings that dictate such wholesale slaughter.
Scholar of Islam Robert Spencer elucidates:
Story continues below advertisement
In 1894, the Ottoman sultanate began massacring Armenians ruthlessly, committing mass rapes, killing even children, and burning Armenian villages. The chief dragoman (Turkish interpreter) of the British Embassy wrote that those who committed these atrocities were “guided in their general action by the prescriptions of Sheri [Sharia] Law. That law prescribes that if the ‘rayah’ [subject] Christian attempts, by having recourse to foreign powers, to overstep the limits of privileges allowed to them by their Mussulman masters, and free themselves from their bondage, their lives and property are to be forfeited, and are at the mercy of the Mussulmans. To the Turkish mind, the Armenians had tried to overstep these limits by appealing to foreign powers, especially England. They, therefore, considered it their religious duty and a righteous thing to destroy and seize the lives and property of the Armenians.”
The jihad against the Armenians went on even in Constantinople, after Armenian revolutionaries seized the Bank Ottoman in 1894. In retaliation, Muslim mobs for two days bludgeoned Armenians to death with cudgels wherever they found them. The British chargé in Constantinople wrote that the “Turkish mob” was aided by “a large number of softas [student of Islamic theology] and other fanatics…individuals wearing turbans and long linen robes rarely seen in this part of the town. They mostly carried clubs which had evidently been carefully shaped after a uniform pattern; some had, instead of these, iron bars…there is nothing improbable in the stories current that the clubs and bars…were furnished by the municipal authorities.”
At Urfa in December 1895, the Armenians gathered in their cathedral and requested Ottoman government protection, which the officer in charge granted, surrounding the cathedral with troops. Then other Ottoman troops, along with local Muslim civilians, rampaged through the city, slaughtering Armenians and plundering their houses. A large group of young Armenians was taken to the local imam, who ordered them to be held down. An eyewitness said that the sheik then recited some verses of the Qur’an and “cut their throats after the Mecca rite of sacrificing sheep.”
The German historian Johannes Lepsius visited the devastated areas at the time and chronicled the atrocities. He referred to the cover-up of these horrific events that had already begun: “Are we then simply forbidden to speak of the Armenians as persecuted on account of their religious belief? If so, there have never been any religious persecutions in the world… We have lists before us of 559 villages whose surviving inhabitants were converted to Islam with fire and sword; of 568 churches thoroughly pillaged, destroyed and razed to the ground; of 282 Christian churches transformed into mosques; of 21 Protestant preachers and 170 Gregorian [Armenian] priests who were, after enduring unspeakable tortures, murdered on their refusal to accept Islam. We repeat, however, that those figures express only the extent of our information, and do not by a long way reach to the extent of the reality. Is this a religious persecution or is it not?”
Lepsius also reported that the Muslims had destroyed 2,500 Christian villages and 645 churches and monasteries, and that the number of those who had been forced to convert to Islam was fifteen thousand. Three hundred twenty-eight churches were converted into mosques, and 508 more were plundered.
Erdogan Ally Ilhan Omar Abstains on Armenian Genocide Resolution
By David Israel, The Jewish Press, October 30, 2019:
The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted 405-11, with three abstaining, to recognize as genocide the 1914 to 1923 Turkish mass murder of 1.5 million Armenians.
The eleven who voted against the resolution were all Republicans: 4 from Indiana, 2 each from North Carolina and Texas, and one each from Alabama, Maryland, and Oklahoma. The three who voted “present” were a Republican from Arizona, a Democrat from Texas, and Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota.
There are many reasons politicians vote in a surprising fashion. In the case of the Armenian genocide, the Turkish government has been waging war on these resolutions across the western world for decades. Unlike Germany, which has fully embraced history’s verdict on its responsibility for the Jewish Holocaust, the Turks are invested in wiping out the memory of their mass murders. The Turks use lobbying, political pressure, bribery, economic threats – so someone should check why 11 Republicans refused on Tuesday to embrace the Armenian genocide resolution.
But the abstention vote of Rep. Ilhan Omar stands out because she has gone into considerable length to justify it, and because, not surprisingly, she’s good friends with Turkish president and Sultan wannabe Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Indeed, some rightwing news sources have dubbed her a Turkish agent.
For the record, President Trump’s National Security Advisor and convicted felon Michael Flynn also admitted to being a Turkish foreign agent.
Omar's office has sent this statement to CNN explaining her present vote: pic.twitter.com/Gpj198jx0p
— Haley Byrd Wilt 🌻 (@byrdinator) October 29, 2019
Omar said on Tuesday, mixing chutzpa with self-righteousness after her shameful vote, that genocide “should not be used as cudgel in a political fight.”
She explained, in her special, terrifying dialect of newspeek: “I believe accountability for human rights violations – especially ethnic cleansing and genocide – is paramount. But accountability and recognition of genocide should not be used as cudgel in a political fight. It should be done based on academic consensus outside the push and pull of geopolitics.”
She also preached: “A true acknowledgement of historical crimes against humanity must include both the heinous genocides of the 20th century, along with earlier mass slaughters like the transatlantic slave trade and Native American genocide, which took the lives of hundreds of millions of indigenous people in this country.”
So, here’s a taste of what the academics are saying:
The Armenian Genocide is considered to have been the first modern genocide, because, like the Jewish Holocaust, it was planned and executed by the full power of the state.
The official starting date of the Armenian Holocaust is April 24, 1915, when the Turks rounded up, arrested, and deported from Istanbul an estimated 270 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders to the Ankara area in the hinterland, where the majority of them were executed.
The genocide proceeded in two phases: the wholesale murder of able-bodied Armenian men in massacres; followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm on death marches into the Syrian desert, without food and water, where they were subjected to rape and massacres.
The Armenian genocide featured mass burning, mass drowning, and killings by doctors – serving as a preview of the 1939-1945 Holocaust. There is no consensus on exactly how many Armenians were murdered, but there is a general agreement among western historians that between 800,000 and 1,500,000 perished.
As of 2019, 32 countries (including, this week, the US) have acknowledged the Armenian Holocaust perpetrated by the Turks, including Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia. 49 of the 50 US states have recognized the Holocaust – only Mississippi has not, but the full Mississippi House delegation (3 Republicans and 1 Democrat) voted Yea on Tuesday’s resolution.
Speaking of votes and acknowledgement, Omar is the only member of “The Squad” who did not support the genocide vote. Say what you will about Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan – they supported the resolution.
https://t.co/M1SiigVw6f
According to Conservative Review, Rep. Omar on Sept. 18, 2017 met with Erdogan in New York City, where he attended the UN General Assembly. In a since-deleted interview with Tusmo Times, a local newspaper serving the Somali American community in Minnesota, Omar reportedly said that she met with Erdogan for about an hour and they discussed issues concerning Omar’s native Somalia and Somalis living in Minnesota.
Remember Omar’s notorious “Benjamins” tweet, and her other tweet, about the dual loyalties of American Jews? Isn’t this delicious?
Omar said she discussed with Erdogan and other senior Turkish officials investment and trade between Turkey and Somalia, and the meeting ended with Erdogan asking Omar to voice her support for Turkey.
Now you know why the representative from Minnesota voted the way she did.
It was the Benjamins, baby.

A former Muslim, but now Christian, said that the Imams say that peace will come when the world is under the caliphate. What he says is that if the caliphate comes there will be eternal war, because the various sects of Islam will then be fighting with each other.

I realized that years back. As soon as they run out of infidels to kill they kill each other. One of my favorite lines in the movie “Terminator” describes islam real well. “Everyone needs to understand, those terrorists are out there, they can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with, they don’t feel pity or remorse or fear and they absolutely will not stop, ever…. until everyone is dead.”

Though I have learned to detest Omar, as I sincerely believe
that she has a poisoned “Arab” mentality that is intolerance that leads to
violence against all those who are not Islamic believers, to some extent what
she is saying about this resolution rings with truth when it comes if it comes
to be that the motivation is purely political and not humanitarian.
Nevertheless, her inability to ascribe, accept and admit that the Arab
mentality of hate and violence towards others is the basis of her Islamic belief
system, especially those directed at those of Jewish persuasion, leaves me with
the conclusion that her comments are again motivated by her inability to relate
to the resolution as it is an accusation of what is truthful conduct against an
Islamic nation. This is a woman, so poisoned by her belief system that she wrongfully
refers to the state of Israel as an occupying state and claims that the Jews
are racist. Again, all of that commentary is related to her intolerant Arab
mentality. She has no proof to support her allegations, and she refuses to
acknowledge that it is the Arab mentality that has refused to accept peaceful
solutions of the conflict, which is an Arab created conflict from the get go.
Therefore I see her as a citizen of this country who will never become
American, as she lives in a world in the despotic Middle East or Africa. Hopefully,
even those who elected her previously and right thinking Americans will not
re-elect people like her to federal offices in the next election. Our countries
future depends on that happening.

There used to be a Turkish professor of “history” at UCLA (spit). In his version of Turkish history, that he taught, the Armenian genocide never happened and the history department at UCLA (spit), the administration of UCLA (spit again) and the University of Californication itself had no problems w/this.
Funny how Ilhan has nothing to say about the ongoing genocide of Nigerian Christians or the enslavement of MILLIONS of kufar across Africa, but maybe it’s not funny at allah.

She does not talk about the African tribe, that the dictator her family worked for, suffered genocide under that dictator. I know a lady of Armenian ancestry and she said that her great uncle died as a baby during that genocide. How? He drowned in a pool of blood. Armenia made Christianity its official religion before Rome did.

How ironic, “Manifest Destiny” was used by the “”state”” to cover American Genocide out west against the native Indians barely 40-50 years before the Armenian Genocide in 1919.
Ahh, but the winners get to write the history books.

The Legacy of the 1965 Immigration Act
Three Decades of Mass Immigration
https://cis.org/Report/Legacy-1965-Immigration-Act
Details
The Hart-Celler Act of 1965:
Established the basic structure of today’s immigration law.
Abolished the national origins quota system (originally established in 1921 and most recently modified in 1952), while attempting to keep immigration to a manageable level. Family reunification became the cornerstone of U.S. immigration policy.
Allocated 170,000 visas to countries in the Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 to countries in the Western Hemisphere. This increased the annual ceiling on immigrants from 150,000 to 290,000. Each Eastern-Hemisphere country was allowed an allotment of 20,000 visas, while in the Western Hemisphere there was no per-country limit. This was the first time any numerical limitation had been placed on immigration from the Western Hemisphere. Non-quota immigrants and immediate relatives (i.e., spouses, minor children, and parents of U.S. citizens over the age of 21) were not to be counted as part of either the hemispheric or country ceiling.
For the first time, gave higher preference to the relatives of American citizens and permanent resident aliens than to applicants with special job skills. The preference system for visa admissions detailed in the law (modified in 1990) was as follows:
1. Unmarried adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizens.
2. Spouses and children and unmarried sons and daughters of permanent resident aliens.
3. Members of the professions and scientists and artists of exceptional ability.
4. Married children of U.S. citizens.
5. Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens over age twenty-one.
6. Skilled and unskilled workers in occupations for which there is insufficient labor supply.
7. Refugees given conditional entry or adjustment — chiefly people from Communist countries and the Middle East.
8. Applicants not entitled to preceding preferences — i.e., everyone else.
…………Catch that last line?? …everyone else.

Ever notice that Muslims NEVER have any guilt, shame, remorse or even acknowledgment for any of their historical crimes and atrocities that Muslims routinely commit and have committed in the name of their Allah? Armenian genocide was just one of their many historical genocides not to mention the totally ignored ongoing Christian genocide in Muslim controlled territories today. Muslims were the leaders in slavery and slave trade which they continue to this day. Like Communist totalitarians, Muslim supremacist IslamoNazis deny historical facts and have ZERO guilt for anything done in the name of their Allah.

Ilhan Omar always cites the Atlantic Slave Trade, but she never mentions that Somalis played a massive part in the slave trade, early converts to Islam, Somalis were the moslem Arabs foot soldiers in the persecution and capture of most Black African slaves.
