Update June 10th: My comments on that AP story of yesterday, here.
Update June 9th: AP has more information here.
So says Omar Jamal, the one and only member of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center*of Minneapolis. Give me a break!
This is a followup to my previous post, here, about the news that one of the Somali youths who left the US voluntarily to join al Shabaab, a radical Islamist terrorist group trying to overthrow the Somali government, has been found dead in Somalia. There are conflicting stories. Jamal says he died from artillery fire, others say he was shot in the head by his buddies, al Shabaab. But, no matter, Somalis in Minnesota headed by Omar ‘Jesse Jackson’ Jamal are “frustrated” and insisting the US investigate and bring home the body for burial.
From the Star-Tribune:
Omar Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in Minneapolis, said his group is looking into the death of the 17-year-old and asking federal officials for help in getting his body returned for burial. He said the teen was killed in artillery fire.
Bihi said his sister received many visitors offering condolences on Saturday. He added that family members were planning to hold a strategy session Sunday because they’re frustrated by the lack of progress with the investigation.
“We don’t want to sit down and wait for answers. We want to take action.”
Think about the nerve of this—demanding action and wanting US taxpayers to pay for returning the body to the US. Incidentally, this would be the second Somali terrorist we returned for burial in Minnesota. Here is a post on the first, and note that Omar Jamal is involved there too!
And, check out this last line. Guess the assimilation to America is working out real well—NOT!
Burhan Hassan, 17, was an infant when his family fled Somalia.
* Jamal’s one man advocacy group was in the news just yesterday, here, calling police in Minneapolis racist. I wonder who taught Jamal his grievance politics?
