Again we have to ask ourselves who is vetting the hostile invaders we are alllowing to enter this country. And why isn't the press clamoring to blame the ideology that inspires these acts of war?

Rep. King: More than 40 U.S. nationals have gone to Somalia to join jihad Jihad Watch

Come for the jihad, stay for the samosas -- wait, what? Awww, maaaaan! "Lawmaker: 40 Americans Joined Somali Al-Qaida Linked-terror Group," from the Associated Press, July 26 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee says more than 40 Americans have been recruited by al-Qaida-linked terrorists in Somalia and have gone there to fight.

U.S. counterterrorism officials have not reported such high numbers of Americans joining the Somali terror organization, al-Shabab. The government has said at least 21 Somali-Americans are believed to have traveled to Somalia to join the terror group in what began as a push to expel Ethiopian soldiers. Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the double suicide bomb attack in Uganda's capital last year, and members have aligned themselves with other anti-Western terror groups.

New York Republican Rep. Peter King's findings are based on his committee's investigation into the threat.

King plans to address the problem Wednesday during his third congressional hearing on Muslim radicalization.

Keith Ellison, please pick up the red phone.
I’m guessing at least half of these non-American Somalians are from the muzzie Congressman’s district. Coincidence?

Keith asked to testify in person and King told him no. He was told he could mail in his testimony.

Snork!

And what do you propose to do about it, Mr. King?

Muslim immigration is still going on full blast and Islam is still considered a “religion” and therefore protected by the Constitution.

You detected a cancerous growth but dare not treat it. Are you waiting for it to metastasize before taking action?

I think Keith was just looking for more face time. He had already testified, that’s why King told him no. He likes to occupy a spot on the evening news cycle.
