Who is recruiting Minnesotans for ISIS?
MyFoxTwinCities.com ^ | 9/14/14 | Ton Lyden

A big part of the fight against the terror group known as ISIS and ISIL is taking place on American soil in places where young people are leaving the country to go join their cause, even fight and die overseas.

Perhaps the biggest question of all is: Who is recruiting? It's a question no one seems to be able to answer definitively in Minnesota, but a lot of fingers are pointing at Amir Meshal, a former al Qaeda suspect who lived on a quiet cul de sac in Eden Prairie, Minn., until recently. Yet, some believe he may actually be an FBI informant. Still others say he may be a kind of double agent.

No one is more suspicious of Meshal than Peter Erlinder, an attorney representing a would-be traveler to Syria.

"I am not prepared to confirm or deny the role my client had in this," Erlinder told Fox 9 News.

Erlinder is a lawyer choosing his words very carefully, and his client is a high school-aged boy who was intercepted by the FBI at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June. The teen was trying to board a flight to Istanbul, but his presumed destination was Syria.

No need for airstrikes, just put a call out for patriots. :-)

You will find your answer in the jihad control command centers otherwise known as mosques which perform a substantially different role than Christian churches do. They are also known weapon caches and strategic planning centers for jihad attacks in the West.

OR, do what the Russians did against Napoleon:
WAIT FOR WINTER...in Minnesota.

Does anyone know if these people are already Muslim or are they being converted to Islam then recruited?

One thing for sure, it’s not the Lutherans in the suburbs who brought the Somalis to Minnesota that are encouraging them to leave. They want more of them to come to Minnesota!

The big question is WHY so many stupids HERE are willing to fight and die OVER THERE?

It would be JUST FINE for me to have all those ANGRY, disenfranchised young men LEAVE here and take out all that aggression on OTHER angry, disenfranchised young men OVER THERE.

It's a win for US, that's for sure.

Here’s a big part of the problem.

Misdirection by Minnesota’s head Islamic misdirector.

Who brought them over?
I don't blame the Somalis for wanting to come over here. Only BURMA might be a WORSE place to live on this planet.
Problem is, MOST Somalis are Muslim. THAT will play out sooner or later.

I’ve heard it called the ‘bread of shame’ One who depends on others for a livelihood is always going to have some internal rage and be desperately looking for a way to prove his worth. Something similar happens to teenagers stuck in home and school when those their age in past generations were builders and explorers.

I think that the recruiters are just smart, angry men who offer our angry, disenfranchised young men, mostly, but not all black, and a path to glory.

These American black men ARE in a white country. Perhaps they get convinced that they will feel more at home over there.

The men that get recruited here CAN'T be the sharpest knives in the drawer. They HAVE to have DARN little going for them here to be lured to the pit-hole called the middle east.

This is what Minnesota gets in return for its tolerance and diversity fetish.....They should be “feeling really good about themselves”.....

not sure. all these terrorists are on welfare courtesy of the war on poverty diverting defense funds to finance enemies.

I would not be surprized if there were life insurance schemes involved, whereas foreign death certificate read natural causes.

Surely our system is not designed so they can orient their skills against the Us instead of in favor of it (sarcasm).

That "shame" comes from a life without love and faith. No family, no church, no one to love them unconditionally, like MOMMY does...and as God does.

Love is complete when we can return that love. It's the old "do unto others..."

MOST teenagers don't turn into ISIS/ISIL murderers. The ISIS/ISIL men (all young) live a life without God, which, as Lucifer will tell you, is HELL = the absence of God.

When the feds decided to import and finance a couple hundred thousand Somali Muslims, Minnesota Lutheran Social Services oinked its way to a large share at the government trough.

A state that has elected Jesse Ventura and Al Franken still has patriots?

They are on welfare because there is no working daddy. THAT goes back to "mama" not keeping her knees together before they were married.

============================================

I would not be surprized if there were life insurance schemes involved, whereas foreign death certificate read natural causes.

I wouldn't be surprised either.
