[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omeish has quite the history regarding 9/11. Her father sat on the board and they hired the Imam of the mosque that four of the hijackers attended. Imam fled to Yemen the next day[/quote]

Ugh! 
Omeish sucks but stop posting sh-t like this!!! What her family has done (or anyone’s family has done) is not the same as that person’s actions. [/quote]

Omeish's father has a carefully curated and largely laudatory Wiki page, and even that page indicates he sat on the board of the mosque that hired Anwar al-Awlaki, and then subsequently defended al-Awlaki after he had left the country as having moderate views, although al-Alwaki ultimately was targeted for a drone attack by the Obama Administration for his links to al-Qaeda and terrorist activities.  At a minimum, her father has shown poor judgment in his character assessments.

With that background, one might think taking issue with a School Board resolution acknowledging the tragedy of 9/11 would be the last thing that Abrar Omeish would do, and yet she did.  That tells us that she's more interested in using her position as a platform to broadcast her allegiance to her father's political associates than representing the residents of Fairfax County.

She never should have been elected to the School Board - shame on those feckless Fairfax Democrats for allowing her to exploit their endorsement without intervening - and she surely should not be elected to public office in the future[/b]. [/quote]

Fully agree with the bolded but that is because she is awful NOT because of whatever her father did or did not do. [/quote]

If she doesn’t want to be associated with her father’s positions and associates, maybe she should move out of his house and not show up at his high school (not hers) to give a speech to students urging “jihad.”  Just a thought. [/quote]
