Evangelical leader Laurie Cardoza-Moore hand-delivered letters and petitions containing “tens-of-thousands” of signatures to Capitol Hill in order to remove Ilhan Omar from Congress, demanding a full investigation into Omar’s connections with the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardoza-Moore met with a number of Washington lawmakers this week, in addition to Nancy Pelosi and Attorney-General William Barr to forward her agenda to remove Omar and affiliated antisemitic and anti-American parties from Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIlhan Omar is a self-professed antisemite and a danger to our great country. She is making a mockery of all Americans by sitting in the House of Representatives while publicly raising money for organizations that seek the destruction of our republic,\u201d according to Cardoza-Moore. “We the people demand that a thorough investigation is carried out to ascertain her connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its American affiliates. Until such time, it would only be appropriate that she stand down from office.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardoza-Moore refers to 18 U.S. Code \u00a7 2385. “Advocating overthrow of Government,” for government justification in removing Omar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The penal code reads: \u201cWhoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof-Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardoza-Moore, currently sits as the President of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN) and as a Special Envoy to the United Nations for the World Council of Independent Christian Churches (WCICC). She also hosts a Christian-Zionist television program called\u00a0Focus on Israel<\/em>, a show that reaches over two billion viewers spanning across two-hundred nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Evangelical leader has championed the removal of Omar from Congress for quite some time now, and has also cited Omar’s relationships with Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups such as Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA) and the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for additional reasoning for removing, cementing her positioning on the Minnesota representative.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a report from the Middle East Forum, the founder of Islamic Relief, Hany El-Banna, has ties with a number of organizations affiliated with the Muslim Bortherhood and Hamas, and once sat as the trustee for the Muslim Aid charity accused of funneling money to Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n

CAIR in its own right has been known for supporting terrorist organizations that have acted against Israel and the United States<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, including Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/span><\/p>\n

FBI investigators uncovered evidence establishing CAIR\u2019s place in the \u201cPalestine Committee,\u201d which was a Muslim Brotherhood-created network aimed at helping Hamas in the United States, according to a report by the Investigative Project on Terrorism. In 2009, US District Court Judge Jorge Solis ruled that there is \u201cat least a\u00a0prima facie<\/em>\u00a0case as to CAIR\u2019s involvement in a conspiracy to support Hamas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the group was officially designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates in 2014, placing it in the company of al-Qaeda, Islamic State and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCAIR and Hamas are one in the same,\u201d Cardoza-Moore has claimed in the past. \u201cIlhan Omar openly fund-raising for CAIR means she is not just a rabid antisemite, but a real threat to our national security.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Just last month Omar was scheduled to speak alongside Yousef Abdallah at a CAIR event. Abdallah has advocated for violence against Jews and expressed antisemitic sentiments on his social media pages in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hours after\u00a0The Jerusalem Post<\/strong><\/span><\/em>\u00a0reported that Omar would give the keynote address at an Islamic Relief USA<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0dinner alongside an official from the organization known for his antisemitic comments, the congresswoman\u2019s PR team began pushing back, and the event\u2019s marketing materials and online invitations were changed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the media reports surfaced, Abdallah\u2019s name was removed from publicity for the event. Then, a spokesman for the congresswoman, Jeremy Slevin, began posting on social media claiming the articles were inaccurate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYousef Abdallah will not be speaking or attending the event with Rep. Omar and was never scheduled to do so,\u201d Slevin wrote. \u201cPlease correct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Post<\/em>\u00a0responded by sending Slevin copies of the original event itinerary from the Eventbrite website, as well as a screenshot of the original flyer that listed the two speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile she has already established her credentials as a vehement antisemite, Ilhan Omar is far worse than that. Omar may be in violation of a federal statute for fundraising for two Muslim Brotherhood charities that seek to destroy America.\u00a0 Omar\u2019s anti-Semitic comments do not reflect the values of Americans,\u201d said Cardoza-Moore. \u201cHow can a representative of the United States raise money for terrorist groups that seek our demise and equally serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, or for that matter, as a member of Congress?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOmar has gotten a free pass from the leadership of her party, but we the people will not be silent until she is removed from Congress. We are calling on each and every American to join this initiative by visiting our website at PJTN.org to sign the petition as well,\u201d added Cardoza-Moore. \u201cOmar recently accused Jewish lawmakers of dual loyalty to Israel\u2026 my question to Omar, is where do your loyalties lie?\u00a0 Do they lie with the jihadi groups you\u2019re raising money for or to the Constitution you swore to protect? Americans demand a response!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
