Rep. Omar said in a speech that she is a “Somalian first” — although she later claimed that her remarks were mistranslated. What do you think?
From Newsweek. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has countered backlash from online commentators and politicians over comments she purportedly made about Somalia to an an audience in a hotel in Minneapolis.
Do you want state prayer alerts?
A clip of the Minnesota lawmaker went viral with over 2.6 million views after it was posted on X, with a translation saying Omar had said: “As Somalis, one day we will go after our missing territories.”
We were profoundly surprised, even shocked on discovering the remarks made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D) of Minnesota in a recent public forum, widely circulated on most social media platforms and attached below for your reference.
The language she employed was regrettably… pic.twitter.com/7Ag9ZafTKY

In comments responding to the reaction to the clip, Omar said this had been “not only slanted but completely off.” …
One X account said Omar referenced territories Somalia claims in neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia.
There is an ongoing dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia over an area known as Somaliland that Somalia claims as its own.
Somaliland, officially the Republic of Somaliland, says it is an independent state but is not recognized internationally. Somalia claims Somaliland as part of its territory and said a recent deal between authorities in the unrecognized state and Ethiopia, involving the latter developing a naval base, is an act of aggression. …
Somaliland’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Rhoda J Elmi, said the territory’s authority was “profoundly surprised, even shocked” on discovering Omar’s purported comments. …
Elmi added that Omar’s purported comments were “bewildering” given that the congresswoman says she has faced repeated questions from opponents on her loyalties because of her background.
She said it was baffling to see Omar “accuse the entire #Somaliland nation of ‘falsely claiming Somali identity.'”
Omar is one of two Muslims in the House of Representatives and moved to the U.S. when she was a child, after her family fled Somalia to escape the civil war there. …
How do Omar’s comments sit with you? Share this article to keep people informed.

Omar is a convicted Muslim. I imagine she is a member of the
jihad to take over the American society.
If she is not converted to the American Way or to Jesus as her
Savior and leader, then she will propagate the Somalian way
which is the Muslim way.
The fact that she is so open seems to indicate that the Muslims are
ready to move publicly in their propagation.
Lord God Almighty 🙏, I pray for ALL American leaders live by the U.S. Constitution that is provided by your Godly wisdom! For years, Omar has obviously been anti-American the whole time, showing un-Godliness! Wickedness she brings out………
Americans FIRST!
Lord, grant that Rep Omar would become a Christ follower first!

SHALOM!
Islam — Mohammedanism — teaches deception and dissembling, even within families and certainly with regard to non-Moslems (what a contrast with Christianity, which teaches honesty toward oneself and others!). We must have known that we were accepting viper’s brood when admitting to the country such false refugees and treasonous immigrants as Ilhan Omar, yet, doubtless, we believed that the influence of a once godly society could in time lead to her salvation.
Lord God, father of us all, I pray that the eyes of every American and every resident in our land would be opened to see the truth, your Truth, and that the hearts of all would be opened to receive your salvation. All this I pray in the name of the only Redeemer, your Son, Jesus, the Christ.
Amen.
She should go back to her own country and fight for what she believes there if she feels that strongly about the situation in Somalia. She has already proven she doesn’t believe in our constitution or our need to protect our freedoms.
per her own testimony, she does not qualify
to represent these united states of america, in
any government position. send her back to somalia where
she spouts her patriotism
Ship Ilhan Omar BACK to Somalia , , , AFTER serving a PRISON for FRAUD while being DEPORTED.
My comment should read “when we elect the leaders…”
Robert,
Somehow the person who quoted the NewsWeek article left out the strongest response in the article:
“Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport!” DeSantis wrote on X.
In the past, DeSantis has singled out Omar as allegedly propagating antisemitic movements within Congress. In January 2022, after a group of people wearing Nazi symbols made national headlines for yelling antisemitic slurs on streets and highway overpasses in the Orlando area, DeSantis said he would not let others shame him for his support of Jews.
“I’m not going to have people try to smear me that belong to a political party that has elevated antisemites to the halls of Congress, like (US Rep.) Ilhan Omar, that have played footsie with the (boycott Israel) movement,” DeSantis said at the time.”
If this report is true and accurate, it means that Omar has denied her oath as a United States citizen, to protect and defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. She has proclaimed that she is a Somali, and not a U.S. Citizen. Why is this foreign national allowed to participate in the Congress of the United States of America? My prayer is “Help us Lord to seek your will when we the leaders of our government.
I am surprised at the anger spewing out in many of these posts. I suspect it is fueled by anger at the open border situation. If our only representatives and officials had to be born in the US many, many excellent officials of the past would not have been allowed to serve here.
I would suggest listening to the clip of the speech which seems to me to be to a Somali audience in a Somalia area and has nothing to do with America. Should that be an issue? Her concerns about her native home are understandable but her attitude about American actions and ways is another. But there are plenty of native born Americans whose attitudes about our country are as troubling as hers.
Lord, help us to seek your desires for our hearts and minds. May we honor You in our prayers.
According to news sources, these comments were made in the US to her constituents – not in a Somalia area.
Omar has long been a source of “ugliness” in Congress…….from her clinging to the Squad, to her stance on Israel, to the reports of falsified records to achieve immigration, to this. When we accept immigrants, there has long been the assumption / condition that they assimilate to our nation and culture, not erode and overthrow it. She has continuously criticized, demeaned, etc our way of life, our beliefs, etc. In Congress, we should expect “America First”……..we’re never going to get it from her……she needs to be expelled, her citizenship revoked, and deported………..her tenure is a lie and a slap in the face to those legal immigrants who come, embrace our nation, uphold our culture and protect it. She is an abomination.
As for the “hate” expressed…….i believe America’s cup of tolerance is starting to overflow. My prayer is that this is expressed legally and productively……expressing (politely) their dissatisfaction to their representatives, voting and getting involved to affect positive change. America is much better than our elected officials are giving us…….we need to clean house……Omar has volunteered to be first.
It is not anger but rather righteous indignation. Psalms 97:10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
We have too many fence sitters in this world now. People who are neither hot nor cold for Jesus (Revelations 3:15-16). Who are willing to go along with what is easy or popular at the time and that is why we are in the shape we are in now. We have been way too complacent, not knowing the scriptures nor following them. God is a God of order (1Corinthians 14:40) There are set ways for doing things and like it says in Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Praying for you and Omar.
How did a MUSLIM be allowed to run for governmental office?? This is America- and it needs to be AMERICA FIRST! Only American born citizens should be allowed to run for governmental office. This is where we made our mistake by “letting” everyone else into our government. We put America last and this NEEDS to change now! Do you think that American’s could run for governmental office in Somilia or other Muslim countries? Never! They won’t allow it. AND WE SHOULDNT EITHER! This is AMERICA- The LAND OF THE FREE! I pray that Omar is convicted of her evil ways. She needs to be removed from the United States Government. She is only there to slip into our government and try to infiltrate Muslims into our nation politically. She is very cunning- dont fall for her trickery! She does NOT love this nation- she doenst even like America. It is all a fake ploy to get on the inside. Wake up people, stand against the invasions in our government and PRAY!!
Be careful not to broad brush all LEGAL immigrants with the one Omar deserves. There are many here who came for a better life and love our country more than some natural born citizens. I’d put one of those in Congress any day of the week. Omar is NOT one, neither are ANY of the Squad.
Lord, I pray voters wake up to the damage their selections are doing to our Nation. Please grant us the wisdom and strength to recognize those not serving America (and therefore You) well and remove them quickly from places of influence. Bring YOUR justice to Omar and replace her with someone who will better serve Your purposes for our nation.
Perhaps Ilhan Omar has been elected so that Americans may awaken to the perils now within and without our country. At the very least, we know that God can turn catastrophe into blessing, evil to serve for good.
May God kindle and spread spiritual revival throughout our once-blessed land!
Omar needs to awaken to the fact that she is an American First, Somalian second and therefore she should not be a an AMERICAN Congress member!!
This lady is a wacko, plain and simple. The fact of her even being elected office is appalling- how did a Muslim EVER become part of our government?? I pray, Lord, that You would show Omar the error of her ways, and lead her to repent, and follow You in all that she says and does. I pray that You would give her a Damascus Road experience. Thank You, Jesus.
We dont need her to represent us.
We all need to be Bible believing, Holy Spirit filled, Church-going, tithe-paying, prayerful people no matter what our nation of origin is in order for this country and its government and its people to become great again.
That is modern immigration. They are among us but not interested in being part of us. That also sounds like most congregations. There is indeed a great shaking coming.
Succinct and true. Thank you, Miss Rice.
Blessing!
Those who serve anyone but the Most High God are deceived. She is a deceived woman. I cry out for her salvation and for the population that elected her to awaken and choose Truth – Truth is a person. As for her comments, may they awaken people to her agenda. Father, forgive her for she knows not what she does! Grant her grace to repent and follow You. I call forth her true identity in Yeshua Messiah, calling her out of darkness and into Your light. Let Your kindness lead her to repentance in Yeshua’s name, amen.
As an American living in Kenya I can tell you this woman is a danger to us and to nations like Kenya. Her land has assassinated over 150 university Christian students who were in morning glory- a 5 AM prayer meeting. Our own state dept warns us not to travel to Mombasa because of the harm to Christians by Muslims especially those of Somalian descent. She needs to be deported and taken out of office for treasonous and threatening statements. This next move of GOD in east Africa will sweep Muslim into the Kingdom of GOD.
If she is a Somalian first, then why is she here?? Then she needs to return to her homeland. I pray for this deceived woman, that she has a vision of Jesus Christ as her Messiah, and gives her life to Him! To God be the glory!
Lord, save the souls of every Somalian in Minneapolis and around the world. Amen.
Someone in government should open their eyes!!!
If she is a Somalian “first” then she dismisses America and should be ousted from a seat at the table of American represention and go back to her country of which she is “first” in her allegiance. Not sure Americans will miss her! This one won’t!
Father wake up America and its voters to stop putting people into our governments who do not appreciate even being here. They are not for us . We need to discern and remember the scriptures you have provided which tell us that those who are NOT WITH US are against us. Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Luke 11:23 says same.
America please start voting with God’s thoughts in mind. People are here and running our governments that are not even wanting to be here and are against us. We have to be vigilant
A whole hearted Amen!
In addition to the scriptures BJ referenced:
For I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Phillipians 3:18 NIV
For this reason, we must pay closer attention. Hebrews 2:1 NIV
“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” Jesus to the 12. Matthew 10:16. NIV
Enemies of the Cross of Christ and wolves are among us and living here. Just look about. The “charmers”,
the “enchanters” the “double talkers”, the list goes on – all attributes of evil.
ALL Powerful God, Protector of Your Creation and my life,
my Maon – Dwelling Place,
my Machseh- Refuge
my Magen – Shield
my Metsuda – Fortress
my Migdal Oz – Strong Tower
As in 2 Kings 6: 17- “And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.”
Father, give me Your eyes and Your ears so that I may see, hear and discern that which comes from You and that which doesn’t. I thank You for Your Holy Spirit and His prompts.
Ensnare all of the wicked.
Father, as You continue to expose those who are against You and this nation, I am so grateful that You will replace them & provide godly men and women who place their hand on the Bible, Your written Word, swear to uphold Your tenants, uphold the Constitution – not rewrite it – and stand for Your country
– our home.
Come quickly to our rescue, O LORD.
In Jesus Name.
So be it.
Interesting that I was awakened to read this article in the 3 am watch— when Jesus came walking in the water declaring to NOT be afraid!! I dreamt a short time ago to “Spread the WORD about the ETHOPIAN MANDATE!” As I had no idea what that could be I googled it- it actually exists! Now you at IFA wake me up with this article and the one about the EVIL UN involvement in Gaza. As an intercessor in DC this week primarily for the International Religious Freedom gathering PLEASE I ask US all to repent and earnestly pray for souls!! The Kingdom is at hand and the universal body of Christ needs the John the Baptist Elijah SPIRIT to PREPARE for what YWHW may soon allow to awaken the masses!! Prepare ye the WAY as did the first believers- souls-souls-souls are teetering as the sheep and goat separation approaches worldwide. The MAN DATE to awaken is for you and me to CRY with Peter, “If it is YOU LORD cause me to…, OBEY and not test your power!! Just step into each of our individual and corporate assignments with faith HE will bring forth the fruit – eternal fruit!!
