Some are going to Somalia…..
The Washington Post published a story on Saturday that would lead readers to believe that the brutality of Al-Shabaab (Islamic supremacists) was driving everyone from Somalia. No doubt the brutality of SHARIA LAW is responsible for the flight of thousands of refugees, but nowhere in the front page story does it mention that some Somalis from the so-called Diaspora in the West are going to Somalia to join the Jihad.*
Nowhere does it say that Al-Shabaab supporters are busy recruiting in the Somali “community” in major US cities (use our search function for ‘missing Somali youths’ for our dozens of posts on the subject), and nowhere in the story does it mention that Al Shabaab may be responsible for sending 300 Somalis across our Mexican border over the last year—Somalis who have disappeared into American Somali “communities.” It is all about the suffering of the refugees.
Many are running from al-Shabab’s radical dictates and increasing savagery, as well as fears of a major government offensive. [Later in the article there is a mention that people fear the US is going to attack Somalia—this is the ‘US is bad’ template–ed]

“If they could all afford to come, not a single person would remain in Somalia,” said Allawi, 37, seated with her children on the reddish, sunbaked earth a day after they arrived. “There is no freedom in Somalia, only death.”

Yet al-Shabab, which the United States has labeled a terrorist organization, now controls large swaths of Somalia. It has imposed Taliban-like Islamic codes in a region where moderate Islam was once widely practiced. Urged on by Osama bin Laden, the group has steadily pushed into Mogadishu, importing foreign fighters and triggering U.S. concerns that the movement could spread to Yemen, across East Africa and beyond. Somalia’s government controls only a few blocks of Mogadishu and has little legitimacy elsewhere.
This strikes me as just one more story planted by the Far Left refugee industry to play on our sympathies so that we open our doors to thousands more Somali refugees this year.
For new readers, more Somalis are on the way:
For information on Somali missing youths, American citizens who have gone to Somalia to learn the Jihad trade, some leaving through Mexico, use those search words. We have written dozens of stories on the case. For more on Al-shabaab (sometimes spelled Al-shabab) also use our search function.
The US State Department has admitted over 80,000 Somali refugees to the US (this linked post continues to be one of the most widely read posts we have ever written) in the last 25 years and then in 2008 had to suspend family reunification because widespread immigration fraud was revealed through DNA testing. That specific program has not yet been reopened (that we know of), but will be soon.
Nevertheless, thousands of Somali Muslims continue to be resettled by the State Department as I write this. We recently learned that we will be taking 6000 Somalis this year from one camp in Uganda and as many as 11,000-13,000 total from around the world.
* Update: Here is an annoying story about maligned Muslims in the US that discusses the recruitment of the poor disinfranchised Somalis and others. I’m posting it here so I don’t lose the link—nowhere does it place the blame on the Islamic religious imperative to fight Jihad.
Oh, and here is another link I don’t want to lose from Loganswarning, an excellent blog on Islamic supremacism—the call has gone out for Muslims around the world to fight the final jihad!
