Rep. Ellison says U.S. trying to ensure safe return of missing Somalis (Terrorist)

St. Paul, Minn. — Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison said the U.S. government is trying to ensure the safe return of some of the young Somali-American men believed to be fighting with a terrorist group in their homeland.

Ellison said he has been included in classified briefings about efforts to bring the missing men back to the Twin Cities.

At least four Somali-American men from Minnesota who left to fight in the Horn of Africa have died there in recent months.

One of youngest, a skinny teenager from Minneapolis named Burhan Hassan, was trying to leave the fighting and make his way to the U.S. embassy in neighboring Kenya, according to family members. They believe a fellow member of the extremist group Al-Shabaab shot Hassan to death when the group learned of his plans to escape.

No laws requiring knowledge of the roads?

No laws requiring fluent speaking of English?

No guts everyone, no guts at all. And that is why we are in the mess we are in.

Sworn in on Quran/Koran....Thomas Jefferson’s acquired 1st edition Quran/Koran, to be exact. Jefferson acquired the 1st edition Quran/Koran so that he could better understand those whom he would/was fighting: the Barbary Pirates.

Een I understood what that was about- small “d” means someone interested in democracy, or as (the idiots in) the gov* and media* use it, freedom or liberty. Big “D” means the party run by Obama, Reid and Pelosi.

*They don’t realize or care that democracy is never mentioned in the US Constitution.

Why waste time and money trying to bring that muslim scum back to America? They wanted to become terrorists. They wanted to kill Americans. Let the terrorists kill them. I’ll pay for ther bullets.

Oh! I forgot, these people like to behead their prisoners. OK! A penny saved is a penny earned, so I won’t pay for the bullets.

>>> Are not these “young Somali-American men” guilty of Treason under Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution? <<<

No one is guilty of treason anymore, because there’s no such thing as a crime against America, and we are not justified in having enemies.

Even George Bush could not find it in himself to demand that Congress declare war against al Qaeda and the 25 other Muslim groups on the State Dept.’s (legally mandated) Deignated Terrorist list.

How many Somalis will there be in MN 20 years from now, from the evil spawn of 70,000 that Bill Clinton gave asylum? 200,000? 2 million? Every one an enemy of America and potential suicide mass murderer.

>>>> the Barbary Pirates. <<<<

After the Brits and Independence, America’s first act of war was against the Muslim nations that were terrorizing, extorting, and enslaving shippers in the Med.

The French were happy to pay them off, Jefferson (and IIRC Adams) said No.

The jizya (extortion) was (I think) reaching 20 percent (more?) of the U.S. budget.

Sorry, it’s a little foggy, easily remedied with a Google search which I’m too lazy to do right now.

Stop providing food stamps and other aid to these immigrants. they should come to America and be self sufficient.

WHAT ..????? “... included in classified briefings...”

This is the very reason you cannot trust the liberals with national security - THEY CAN’T KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT!!

When you attend “CLASSIFIED” meetings .. it means you can’t reveal what you’re being told.

Good luck MN .. you’re going to need it.

Burhan Hassan, in 2005, after having received a certificate from the Abubakar mosque in Minneapolis. When he went missing, he was a senior in high school. By all accounts, he was a good student and was supposed to graduate on time in May. His mother wanted him to go to medical school. He disappeared Nov. 4, calling his mother two days later to say he was in Somalia.
