Allow me to give you a local perspective. I don't live in Rep Omar's district, but I can see it from here across the river.
The Somali community in Minnesota has been largely a good thing. Areas that were run down and all the shops closed are now vibrant and bustling. Somalis I've met are polite, thoughtful, and grateful to be here, even though you'd be hard pressed to find a place less like Somalia than here. By and large they don't get into legal trouble, as their families stay together and teen pregnancy rates are the lowest of any community in the state. They don't join the gangs that once infested their neighborhoods, in fact they've mostly driven them from their community.
They are not without their issues though. In lieu of more typical drugs, the Somalis' cultural affinity for khat arrived with them, driving a turf war in the years 1998-2004 with the Vice Lords gang that claimed quite a few casualties. Somalis send a lot of money back home through Islamic charities that winds up funding continuing tribal conflicts in their homeland. And while the rate is small, some Somali youths have been recruited from here to go fight back home. There is an FBI Field Office set up to monitor this, and they are busy.
More recently, the Somali community (but not only them) has been embroiled in a scandal involving daycare fraud that Minnesota has yet to fully figure out. Bogus daycare operations were set up to collect subsidies from the state, whether or not they watched kids in reality, with kickbacks going to the parents and the "operator". Much was made of the original expose done by a local TV station that suggested much of this money - allegedly tens of millions - ended up in the hands of Al Shabab (very possible) or ISIS (much less likely), but thus far Legislative investigations and the authorities haven't been able to prove any of it outside the original fraud. Personally I suspect that part to be untrue, as the FBI is pretty damn good at tracking illicit funds going to the wrong places.
When Rep Omar was personally selected as the successor to outgoing Rep Keith Ellison, she was hailed as a trailblazer. During the election, she toed the line that Ellison set as the DNC Co-Chair, while he ran for state Attorney General. He had his own scandal in 2016 involving allegations he beat his ex-girlfriend, which he of course denied and the people of MN figured wasn't disqualifying enough to not elect him to the highest law enforcement position in the state.
Omar cruised to victory with the only real threat to her eliminated in the primary with the help of Ellison's political organization, as MN 5 is by far the bluest district in the state.
Once she got to office, Omar started saying things that... let's just say didn't come up during election season. Her district also has the largest Jewish community in the state, and much disquiet in that key constituency has been generated by her antics. It is very likely she will have a legitimate primary challenger in 2020. I think a lot of people in her district who are politically active feel they've been had. There is no chance a Republican wins there, so whoever unseats Omar will have to have a "D" (DFL for Democratic Farm and Labor here in MN) behind their name.

My take is that she is being who she really is. Culturally raised to be anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, dramatically left in her politics, and unaccustomed to criticism as a member of a community that is hedgemonous in looking after it's own. She says she will "listen and learn" from her critics, but that is political-speak for wait until it blows over.
I think what you see is what you get with Rep Omar. She isn't the anti-Christ, but she isn't apololgetic about what she thinks either. And she's pretty bullet-proof in that district outside of next year's primary. If she survives that, she isn't going anywhere for a long time.

It is commanded in the Qur'an and Sunna to hate the Jews... And since we are now treating Islam as a protected class that we are not allowed to simply criticize without being called some hideous name, there is no condemnation of Tilab or Ilhan. For the most part, Ellison and Carson would not air their Jew hatred so publicly... but these two clowns are par for the course. Nothing personal... it's just what they do... like when snakes bite - your'e not mad that the snake bites... it's what they do.
