A member of the same Virginia school board that came under fire for withholding information about students' scholarships has raised eyebrows by saying the Battle of Iwo Jima, a major US victory against the Japan in World War II, was 'evil' and should not have happened.
The comments were made Thursday by Fairfax County board member Abrar Omeish, 28, in reference to the Day of Remembrance, a day of observance for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The holiday occurs on the same calendar day as the first US landings on the island of Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945.
Perhaps she is voicing what her father has told her to say.

The Battle of Iwo Jima would not have happened if the Japanese had not misbehaved at Pearl Harbor. #1, clever screen name.

If there were not a Japanese attack on the US bases at and near Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA, there never would have been a battle on Iwo Jima. Even the Japanese population understands that today. So you have to ask how did such a stupid person as this lady get on a Virginia public school board?

When I was growing up I was impressed with a visit to Washington, DC.
How ironic that today such a high percentage of the population that lives in that region seem to be so anti-American, unpatriotic, and outright stupid about basic history of the world.

When are loyal Americans going to wake up and recognize that the Marxist, Progressive Democrats want to destroy the traditional Judeo -Christian American culture every way they can? So far, these subversives seem to be winning this cultural war.
God forbid.

When you attack another country with six aircraft carriers, and many hundreds of aircraft with bombs and torpedoes.......the nation that is attacked is GOING to get very angry, and the payback is going to be a really bad time.
All of WW2 in the Pacific is totally on the Japanese, including the nukes. No sympathy at all. No residual hatred, but zero sympathy for what they got. And Japan is one of THE most virulently racist countries on the planet.

Why do communities always let the one lone voice of whacko reason speak for the entire community, as it was with the departed Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Doctrine of Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease is equal to the Mob Rule during the recent ''summer of love'' debacle. IMO, at 28 years old this bored board member is half baked. Most 28 y/o people are. Nothing wrong with her that another ten years won't cure. If you don't like this country, go back where you want to be and change THEM.

Hey, Abrar...just curious, but what are your thoughts on:
1. the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and the 4,000 Americans killed there by Japanese bombs
2. the Bataan death march (20,000 prisoners brutally killed by Japanese captors, one at a time and face-to-face)
3. the 300,000 Chinese civilians murdered by Japanese soldiers
4. the 100,000 Korean women forced into sex slavery servicing Japanese soldiers.
Get back to me when you've come up with some comments.

Clearly, America is not to her liking...rather than continue to tolerate the evil satan that is America...suggest she move to Afghanistan, where I'm sure she will be warmly received.

I believe there is some unnamed mental disorder that causes some people to think in a disorderly manner outside of rational thinking. Sadly, liberalism is not listed in the DSM as a mental disorder.

Glad my father didn't live long enough to hear this piece of doorknob with a rag wrapped around her head. If it wasn't for the brave American soldiers who fought that war, she'd still be living in a Muslim country living as a baby production tool for an 89-year-old Imam husband.

As long as "fringe" views are given a respect that they do not deserve, the tyranny of minority rule will remain to plague all of us.

There is a war memorial at the site of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The sign says “ Rest In peace. May the mistakes of the past never be repeated “. What it doesn’t say is that the mistake was not Hiroshima but Pearl Harbor.

Folks might want to consider electing ONLY Americans to positions of influence and power.
Un-Americans living here in America beg the question, "Why should we tolerate much less participate in national, cultural suicide"?
