Photos Surface Revealing 2017 'Closed Door' Meeting Between Rep. @Ilhan Omar and Turkish President Erdogan pjmedia.com/homeland-secur… #HomelandSecurity via @pjmedia_com

Omar, a Muslim immigrant from Somalia who won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2018, reportedly led a delegation of Somalis from Minnesota to meet with Erdogan in New York.

Erdogan was in town for the annual UN General Assembly meeting and Omar flew in to meet him at a local hotel in downtown New York City.

She even tweeted about the meeting in Somali:

What is most interesting about this meeting, however, aside from the fact that the President of Turkey agreed to meet with a local Minnesota state legislator, is that it took place in the very same hotel room where Erdogan -

either just before or just after his meeting with Omar, met with the assembled top leadership of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.

This is obvious from the room’s carpeting and table and chairs arrangement: here is Erdogan posing with Ilhan Omar.

In this second photo with Erdogan are Nihad Awad with @CAIRNational, Osama Abu Irshaid of American Muslims for Palestine; Mazen Mokhtar of the Muslim American Society; and Oussama Jammal of the US Council of Muslim Orgs, the umbrella political org of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.

Whether Omar herself met with these leading Brotherhood figures in that room is not known, but it seems unlikely that she would not have.

Now, it may be noted that this was not the first time that Omar and the Turkish regime connected.

She traveled to Istanbul, Turkey, in early February 2017 to attend a conference organized by the local Turkish government and the British Embassy in Ankara billed as “Human Rights Defenders” that included hardcore leftists and pro-abortion activists.

It is not known, however, whether Omar met with Erdogan or any of his senior officials on that trip.

The story continues, however.

The Islamic Association of North America (IANA), formerly known as The North American Council of Somali Imams (NACSI), is a large umbrella organization for the shariah-adherent Somali community of North America (U.S. and Canada).

Headquartered on Hiawatha Avenue in the Minneapolis neighborhood often called “Little Mogadishu,” the IANA was founded in 2001 and today includes over 26 member mosques, Islamic centers, and other organizations.

Among these are several located in MN, including the Abu Huraira Mosque (Rochester), Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center (Minneapolis), the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center (Faribault), the Al-Ihsan Islamic Center (St. Paul) and the Dar-us-Salam Cultural Center (Burnsville).

Now, the kicker: the IANA formally joined the USCMO, in effect, the U.S. branch of Erdogan’s pro-Muslim Brotherhood Justice and Development Party (AKP), in 2018—that is, just months after Ilhan Omar, state representative of MN, met with Erdogan in NY—

— and about one year after her 2/2017 trip to Istanbul. That Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) probably helped arrange that development seems hardly surprising now.

Her close association with Brotherhood front groups like CAIR (the U.S. branch of the HAMAS terror organization) becomes as difficult to ignore as her blatant antisemitism.
