Daily Mail: Named source claims Ilhan Omar admitted to marrying her brother (Update)

He was very feminine in the way he dressed he would wear light lipstick and pink clothes and very, very, short shorts in the summer. People started whispering about him.

[Hirsi] and Ilhan both told me it was Ilhan s brother and he had been living in London but he was mixing with what were seen as bad influences that the family did not like.

So they sent him to Minneapolis as rehab .

It sounds to me like Osman is suggesting there s some sort of gay subplot to this story. In any case, he claims that when Omar married him in 2009 (in a legal ceremony as opposed to her religious marriage to Hirsi) no one in the community knew about it. In fact, the person who married Omar and Elmi is a Christian minister. Why would Omar choose to be married by a Christian? Osman suggests this was an attempt to get outside the Somali Muslim community and find someone who wouldn t already know the two were related.

Hmmm. Well, there you have it, I guess.
