The Twin Cities have an ISIS problem
Business Insider / Yahoo ^ | 9/13/15 | Colin Campbell

Why Minneapolis? Authorities say it's linked to Minneapolis-St. Paul's large Somali community.

According to The New York Times, estimates peg the local Somali population, which Minneapolis touts as the largest in the US, at roughly 30,000 people.

Reports have described violent extremism as bubbling up within the local Somali community going back years, especially as a result of the 2006 conflict between Ethiopia and Somalia. At the time, much of the terrorism-recruitment issue centered on al-Shabab, the Somali-based group that would later become an Al Qaeda affiliate.

The office of Minnesota's US attorney, Andrew Luger, said Wednesday that groups "like the Islamic State" have since exclusively targeted the local Somali community.

"Since Al Shabaab began recruiting Minnesota's youth in 2006, the Twin Cities have been a focus of overseas terror recruiting by organizations like the Islamic State for Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This cycle of terror recruiting has exclusively targeted Minnesota’s Somali community," Luger's office said in a press release.

Indeed, Musse was one of six men from the region who were charged last April for their alleged ties to the extremist group. At the time, Luger directly said that Minnesota has a "problem" with terror recruiting, which he described as decentralized and widespread.

"To be clear: We have a terror-recruiting problem in Minnesota. And this case demonstrates how difficult it is to put an end to recruiting here," he said at news conference the Minnesota US attorney's office. "Parents and loved ones should know that there is not one master recruiter organizing in the Somali community locally. What this case shows is that the person radicalizing your son, your brother, your friend, may not be a stranger. It may be their best friend right here in town.

The Kent - Renton - Tukwila area south of Seattle has a crapload of these people.

If they decide to go jihad the local population will present little resistance.

30,000.

Interesting. I wonder if there is no coincidence this was the approximate number of inner city blacks who were stationed at Travis Air Force Base during the race riots?

Since that number worked well to create mayhem and insanity, I wonder if it is considered "critical mass" and being purposely created by Zero's henchmen?

having identified many Somalis as being very troublesome and problematic refugee / immigrants , and a source of recruitment for Al Shaddab ( sp) and ISIS , how intelligent is it to start allowing 10’s of 1000’s more undocumented muslim ‘war refugees ‘ into our country .

I SAY NO ! Not a single one . No more muslim immigrants , refugees or not . Some M.E. Christians ONLY .

Keep the blight of Islam out of our land

“...violent extremism as bubbling up..”


I guess that is a word for it.

You import it and this is what you get. That is what Obama wants and that is why he keeps it up.

Keep your email contacts informed on the importation of these heathens onto our soil.

Contact your Governor.

And most important, keep your powder dry and old Betsy well oil and cleaned.

Not to worry. The target is easily visible and vulnerable to the Air Force.
And someday, it most probably will regret its decision to let an ancient, unimproved, and hate filled culture infect it.

I currently live on the outskirts of New Mogadishu (Minneapolis) and it is increasingly looking like a bus stop in the third world. Even in my suburb I recently saw a Somali man and a gaggle of girls and young women all in burquas. I wondered how many of those women were his wives.

Further directly undermining the security and safety of citizens of the several States, the “president of the united States” has flooded our several States with nearly 500,000 immigrants under a resettlement program directed by a foreign state known as “the United Nations” under the foreign office and direction of the “High Commissioner for Refugees” named Antonio Guterres. Under his direction the refugees from Iraq, Somalia, Burma, Bhutan, Cuba, Afghanistan, Sudan, Uzbekistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and even Syria, the world’s most active hotbed of jihadist activity are assigned to “the Department of Homeland Security of the United States” and “the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States” . Whose “Counter-terrorism Deputy Director Michael Steinbach” testified before Congress in February that it is impossible to screen refugees from a “failed state” like Syria, and Somalia which has similarly devolved into chaos. Under the direction of “the president of the United States, ”groups funded by George Soros, the Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford foundations, among others, churned out a document in 2013 on how to deal with so-called “pockets of resistance” comprised of citizens of the several States who oppose these terrorists from entering the several States.
