Woman Travels to Ilhan Omar’s Home Country To Show Its Positive Side, Ends Up Murdered by Terrorists

Canadian journalist Hodan Nalayeh was one of 26 people killed by Islamic terrorists, known as al-Shabab, at the Asasey Hotel in Kismayo on Friday. At least one American is among the dead. Fifty-six others were wounded in the horrific attack. No word yet from U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar(D-MN) about this vicious slaughter, or if she plans to travel back to her native Somali to help fix this destitute, war-torn nation.

From Joe Saunders at Western Journal:

"Trump wasn’t speaking literally, of course. He knows that Omar would never trade her life in the West for the squalor and violence of Somalia.

Nalayeh, who became a Canadian citizen after her family emigrated from Somalia, did return — not to deliver peace to the lawless land, but to try to show the world its positive side. As The Post put it, Nalayeh was “sharing a side of Somalia rarely depicted in the West.”

Unfortunately, she became on Friday part of the story of the side of Somalia the West does see – a world of violence where Islamist terrorists feel no compunction about slaughtering the innocent to make a political point. That was the Somalia that Omar’s family fled in the early 1990s."

How tragic. A young Somali woman who emigrated to the West with her family in order to escape their hellhole of a country, only to denigrate and castigate her adopted home that afforded herself and her family much refuge, opportunity, and prosperity. What 'Positive Side' has Ilhan Omar ever offered about America? Or gratitude? Praise? Omar's hallmark seems to only consist of an incessant spew of bigotry and ingratitude.

Canadian journalist Hodan Nalayeh traveled halfway around the globe to show and promote a positive side to destitute, war-torn Somalia, only to be murdered for her trouble. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar(D-MN) would do well to honor Nalayeh's memory, and at least tacitly acknowledge the West's economic, political, and societal exceptionalism, in stark contrast to the Somalia she and her family fled in 1991.
