As she faces allegations of immigration fraud, a central aspect of the defense that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Mogadishu) is that her name is indeed Ilhan Omar. Or to be precise, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. The search warrant that was issued for the raid on her home identifies her as “Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”
This matters, because the man she married whom many say is her brother is named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Omar herself has dismissed the controversy as baseless (as well as racist and “Islamophobic” and all the usual tosh and twaddle), and when asked about her name, answered: “Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, you know it. It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”
Now, however, a 2013 Ilhan Omar tweet has surfaced that only strengthens the case that she is indeed named Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, lending credence to the charge that when she married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, she was marrying her brother in order to help him get into the United States. And that, of course, is immigration fraud.
The case against Omar, of course, doesn’t depend on this alone. There is a great deal more evidence that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is indeed her brother. But this is another piece of the puzzle, and an extremely revealing one. Fox News reported Saturday that in a deleted 2013 social media post, the winsome Somalia-First solon dropped a massive clue regarding her name.
“Happy Father’s Day,” the future darling of the far-left and pro-Sharia forces in the U.S. wrote, “to my aabo [father] Nur Said, I am forever grateful to Allah for giving me the best father…” She deleted this tweet on Sept. 19, 2019, eight months after she entered Congress. Now, why would an innocuous Father’s Day greeting be something that an older Omar, now embarked upon a political career on the national stage, would want to delete?
Well, it seems that she now contends that her father’s name is Nur Omar Mohamed. In line with Somali naming practices, this would support the claim that her name is Omar also. However, in the deleted tweet, she calls her father “Nur Said.”
