The Texas Terror Connection To Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison’s Minneapolis District
Breitbart News Network ^ | 5 May 2015 | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 05/05/2015 9:08:29 AM PDT by george76

An Islamist radical recruited to Somalia from Minneapolis inspired the would-be “Texas Terror” killers, who were gunned down in Garland, Texas Sunday night by a sharp-shooting law enforcement officer before they could carry out their mass-murder plot at an art exhibit sponsored by First Amendment heroine Pamela Geller.

It’s just the latest example of how and why Minneapolis—and specifically the congressional district of Muslim Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) —has become ground zero for the threat to the United States from Islamist terror groups such as ISIS and Al-Shabaab.

...

The terrorist threat emanates from the Minneapolis neighborhood known as “Little Mogadishu,” home to one of the highest concentration of Somali immigrants in the USA.

...

Somali terror cell Al-Shabaab has been actively and successfully recruiting in Ellison’s district for years, even producing a slick recruitment video inviting young men in Minnesota to travel overseas and join the jihad. The video has proven disturbingly effective.

Apparently the video recruiting young Somalis to go overseas and fight has not been that successful, since there are still so many of them in this country.

The strange thing is the Soofi guy was *born* in Garland, but hasn’t lived there since he was a kid. Big coincidence?

Is he one of the congressmen that tried to prevent Greert Wilders from entering the country to speak in Garland?

Cops are usually at least 15 minutes away. I believe we should all utilize our second amendment right and always have a firearm for self protection and to stop if necessary, thugs, be they muslim or otherwise, from killing innocent any American.

killers, who were gunned down
____________________________________

Yes they were killers but they weren’t “gunned down”

gunned down is what happens to victims..

they were just killers stopped in their tracks by a hero..a good guy..

“Muslim Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)”

Most likely had help from Muslim Democrat Prs. B. Husein Obama (D-USSA).

Minnesota, North Central Communist block USA.

Texas will be the final hold out of our constitutional
representative republic. The rest of the country is falling
tard like clockwork.

Just like anyone with a spine vacated the UK and the rest
of western Europe decades ago for the US the same is happening here. Everyone with a
full set, a brain and a backbone will eventually be here in Texas.

"Dearborn"

It would be interesting to see if any radicals are coming out of Dearborn. Haven't heard much about that area as far as radical Islamist activity.

And I don't know how many of these Minnesota Somali radicals were actually born in Minnesota or were just living there. But I remember seeing quite of few of them standing around on street corners close to the MOA when I visited the Minn State Fair a few years ago.

Keith Ellison converted to Islam in prison. He has a Muslim name, but chooses not to use it - so he can continue to fool a lot of dumb people in his district.

Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Magazine indicates Soofi is a Pakistani.

I’m going to guess, then, that he is black.

A lot of black guys convert in prison.

And the reason for so many prison conversions is that it is the religion of the irresponsible or, more accurately, those that want to blame others for their situation.

“gunned down” seems to be a new media phrase, it would be nice if Breitbart didn’t use it.

To: Kid Shelleen
“Gunned down”? I notice the left are all adopting “gunfire” as the new word for someone being shot.

In this case a stray bullet him while he was asleep in bed, but I wouldn’t describe it as being “gunned down”.
