Rep. Omar Deleted Tweet Fuels Growing Evidence She Married Her Brother
Very subtly Rep. Illhan Omar attempted to delete a six-year-old Father’s Day tweet and the details of the tweet call into question her martial history.
Mohamd Tawhidi, an Islamic reformer who calls himself the “Imam of Peace,” uncovered a 2013 post on Omar’s Twitter which she named her father “Nur Said.” Tawhidi stated that keeping with Muslim culture any children of this man would bear the surname “Nur Said” – which he says proves the continuing speculation that when Omar married U.K citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, she married her brother.
Your father is Nur Said?
Not: Nur Omar Mohamed?So you’re Ilhan Nur Said?
And you married Ahmed Nur Said,
You married your brother.
(Most Americans don’t know that in most Muslim countries, the surname is actually the father’s name)

The post from Tawhidi on twitter occurred between 11pm and midnight Monday night and linked to the 2013 post from Omar. At some point between 7 and 8 AM Omar or someone who manages her social media deleted the tweet. Almost immediately Tawhidi pointed it out to his followers. Below is the now deleted post.
“Ilhan Omar has just deleted this tweet from 2013 that proves her father is Nur Said, which makes her Ilhan Nur Said (surnames are the fathers names in most Muslim/MENA countries), and that Ahmed Nur Said, who she married, is in fact her brother,” Tawhidi wrote. “Why did you delete it, @IlhanMN!?”

Later in the day Rep. Omar’s office didn’t do her any favors and a spokesperson for the congresswoman said “Nur Said” is just a nickname.
Rep. Omar and her family are subject to constant threats. When people write vile things on posts about people she loves—including disturbing doctored images of her father—she takes them down. Nur Said means “Happy Light” and it’s been her dad’s nickname since he was a kid. He has a public page with the same name. She isn’t deleting it for the disturbing and hateful reasons that are being implied by conspiracy theorists and legitimate media outlets shouldn’t be spreading conspiracy theories.
Ok so why did they delete the tweet?
Omar has more troubles though…
A Minneapolis Star Tribune investigation that finished up this summer found that Omar “improperly used campaign funds to pay for out-of-state travel unrelated to her legislative duties” but was unable to determine why Omar filed joint tax returns with a man other than her husband in 2014 and 2015.
But, it’s not just conservative news outlets going after Omar, the Washington Post is as well. According to the Post they got access to documents that showed that Omar and Hirisi “may not have separated during her marriage to Elmi, adding fuel to speculation the marriage may have been for immigration purposes.”
I think Omar may not be a congresswoman much longer, her house of cards are starting to tumble. Nothing would make me happier than to see a “squad” member get kicked out of congress and arrested for violating our immigration laws.
