They aren't scared that she's part of the Muslim brotherhood or antithetical to their interest as dictators.
Instead they don't like the fact that she's Somali.
Those gulf Arabs are our biggest enemies in the region and would do anything to undermine us.
Somalis in the states should unify to create and fund a political PAC to support Ilhan and through her, Somali interests.
100,000 American Somalis donating $1,000 each would equal the amount the Saudis spend in lobbying.
I doubt they would be able fend of multinationals with that puny amount but we could keep riffraff like the Saudis out of Somalia.
