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.

Lasting more than a month from February 19 to March 26 of 1945, the battle for the island of Iwo Jima is one of the most famous in the history of the Marine Corps. Nearly 7,000 U.S. Marines from the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions died trying to wrest control of the island from Japan's Imperial Army of Japan

If this Lady wants to be a schoolboard member, she should respect America's history and assimilate into American culture.

She’s that antI-American, anti-Israel troublemaker on the Board. The leftists defend her because she’s Muslim. She’s an Omar in training.
 
Her Dad needs to honor kill her.

"American's history" = FREEDOM OF SPEECH ENSHRINED IN THE US CONSTITUTION.
 
Elections have consequences

Why do I have a feeling she is confusing Iwo Jima, an uninhabited volcanic hunk of rock, with Okinawa, which was populated, and where 1/2 the civilian population perished?
 
The war was forced on the United States and we did what we had to to win it.

All wars since then, we've let the politicians play games rather than pursuing victory.
