Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) can’t seem to stay away from Islamist conferences featuring radical speakers. This time, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is joining the questionable proceedings as well.
Omar, the consistently antisemitic left winger, has a history of scheduling remarks at radical Islamist conferences. Saturday evening, she is slated to speak at a conference in Baltimore sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America. Ellison will speak there Sunday. ICNA in recent years has been the subject of congressional inquiry because of its allegedly extensive ties to terror-financing networks, with three congressmen describing ICNA and a sister organization as “arms of one of the most radical networks in the world.”
As outlined at great length by a publication of the Middle East Forum, a respected anti-Islamist group, the list of conference speakers is a who’s who of Islamist extremists “who have declared Western society to be ‘filth,’ sanctioned sex slavery, called on Muslims to hate homosexuals and to support jihad in countries throughout the world,” the MEF document reads.
