MN: Another one of the Somali "children" pleads guilty to terror charges

09/18/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

As we focus on Syrians, let’s not forget the Somalis!

Ho hum! We have been following the ‘careers’ of the Somali “youths,” here referred to as “children,” since 2008 (see early posts by clicking here) when we first learned about Somali refugees thumbing their noses at the good life we gave them in America and choosing a future instead of violent jihad.
And, it is unbelievable to me that those promoting bringing in 65,000-100,000 mostly Muslim Syrians think that somehow this will not continue to happen.
Here is the news on one of the latest cases, from the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota man admitted Thursday that he planned to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group, saying he believed joining the violent terrorist organization would help his fellow Muslims.

Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, 20, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group. He admitted that he and eight other men met 10 to 15 times in local mosques, parks and restaurants to talk about routes to Syria and how to finance their trip.

He faces up to 15 years in prison at sentencing, which hasn’t been scheduled.

Abdurahman is the third Minnesota man to plead guilty in connection with planning travel to Syria. Five others face a February trial.

Authorities have described the men from Minnesota’s Somali community as friends who recruited and inspired each other. Prosecutors say the men were advised from overseas by Abdi Nur, another Minnesota man who went to Syria in May 2014.

[….]

He also said he watched English-language jihadist videos on YouTube, Twitter and other social media outlets, and wanted to join the Islamic State group even though he knew it carried out beheadings and burned prisoners.

Just children!

Ayan Abdurahman said after her son’s hearing that she was “very sad” and that he and others like him are just children.

“He’s very young,” she said, speaking in broken English. “… I asking the American government they have to treat these as children. They make mistake.”

How many of you agree with me? Just let the “youths” leave the country, take away their passports, and don’t let them come back. Under the present system, we taxpayers get hosed again! We will pay for this man’s prison term! Lucky us!

Are we ever going to stop bringing in Somali ‘refugees’?

We have been focusing on the question of how many Syrian Muslim refugees will be admitted to the US going forward, but always remember we have admitted Somali ‘refugees’ for three decades and there is no end in sight (this is even though the UN is now sending Somalis back to a more stable Somalia from its camps in Kenya).

Once the pipeline is open it never ends!

Go here to a post I wrote years ago and see that we have admitted well over 100,000 Somalis to the US and they were frankly as equally unable to be screened for security as are the Syrians. But, maybe more importantly, note that the magic melting pot DID NOT WORK and the next generation is becoming the terrorists that there parents were not!

Anchorage gets a mosque thanks in part to growth in Muslim refugee population.

Just checked the Refugee Processing data base, and here is what I find:
As of August 31, we have admitted another 7,642 Somalis to the US! The number, when the year ends in less than two weeks, will likely come very close to 9,000 (which is the number we brought last year).
And here (below) is where they went. They went to many more states than I’ve listed here. These are the states that “welcomed” more than 100 to the state’s welfare rolls. Although not over 100, I also want to note that Alaska got 64 Somalis to add to their mosque-going population.
The number in parenthesis is the number of Somalis resettled in the state in FY2015. Top five Somali states in red (these state will probably continue to lead the pack because the contractors will be bringing in their family members):

Arizona (562)

California (239)

Colorado (165)

Connecticut (105)

Georgia (233)

Idaho (91)

Kentucky (333)

Maine (181)

Massachusetts (271)

Minnesota (911) And, MN gets around 2,000 additional a year who move in from elsewhere in the US

Missouri (258)

New York (685)

North Carolina (172)

North Dakota (111)

Ohio (422)

Oregon (206)

Pennsylvania (334)

South Dakota (122)

Tennessee (186)

Texas (469)

Utah (221)

Washington (297)

Wisconsin (162)

Syrian refugees being resettled in "safe" Baltimore

09/18/201502/20/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Editor: There are so many stories coming my way from all over the country about where Syrians are being resettled that I will never be able to post them all. I do tweet as many as I can, so please follow me on twitter and see my twitter feed in the right hand column here at RRW.

Yikes! While researching this story I found this. Islamic Relief USA working with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlins-Blake to help refugees get established in Baltimore. **http://www.irusa.org/press-releases/rebuilding-a-city-rebuilding-lives-baltimore-welcomes-refugees/**

I’m posting this one on Baltimore because it made me laugh. The International Rescue Committee (one of nine major federal resettlement contractors) is touting “safe” Baltimore as a place to drop off mostly Muslim Syrian refugees.

We’ve told you about Baltimore here, just after the riots earlier this year. And, we wonder what the African Americans of Baltimore think of this—jobs and a free apartments for refugees!

Do you think this insertion of ethnic diversity is more fuel for Baltimore’s fire? I do.

From CBS Baltimore:

The International Rescue Committee in Baltimore has welcomed 26 Syrians by providing them with the tools to succeed, including a furnished apartment and even employment.

[….]

“When you get a safe place like Baltimore or the U.S. and you have the opportunity to rebuild your whole life,” said Chandrasekar, “how motivated do you think you would be? That’s what we see everyday when we welcome a refugee into the Baltimore area.”

The Baltimore office is primarily funded through federal dollars, but a lot of donations come from the community.

[….]

Over the last 15 years, the IRC has resettled 12,000 refugees from all over the world here in central Maryland.

About the photo:

I told you here that the questionable Muslim charity—Islamic Relief USA—was helping Syrian refugees get established in Kentucky.

Please go to the Clarion Project and learn about how this huge charity is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood!

**Is Islamic Relief USA helping fund refugee resettlement in your city or town?**

Samantha Power is one of those pushing Obama to bring more Syrian refugees to your towns

09/17/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

This news is a day old, so who knows maybe Obama has already decided the magic number of Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugees he will be dropping into America towns and cities in the coming year.

UN Ambassador Samantha Power was once described as one of three “humanitarian Vulcans” advising Obama. Hillary and Susan Rice rounded out the trio.

Last week we learned that Sec. of State Kerry consulted with key House and Senate committees, as the Refugee Act of 1980 requires, and it seems the number he was bandying about was 10,000 (some say Kerry said 5,000) for FY2016.
If Obama approves a different number just two weeks before the start of the fiscal year, Kerry is required to go back to the Hill for additional “consultation,” and, in any case, the House and Senate Judiciary Committees are required to hold hearings on the Presidential Determination.

The fact that the lazy (scared?) committees have not held a refugee ‘consultation’ hearing since before 9/11 is no excuse not to have one for this very critical decision!

(The last hearing held on the President’s refugee determination appears to be this one from 1999. Has there been no hearing since then because they didn’t want you to know how many Muslims were being admitted to the US through this program?—ed)
A hearing can’t stop the President, but it sure can help the American people understand what is about to happen to them!

Where are you Reps. Goodlatte and Gowdy? Prove me wrong! Tell us you are doing something and I will apologize!

Here is a bit of interesting news at Bloomberg (hat tip: Joanne). Again, it is a day old, so who knows if Obama has made a decision.
Check out Samantha Power (bff George Soros)! The nerve of this woman. You can credit her, Hillary and Susan Rice with the destabilization of North Africa and the invasion of Europe because she was a driving force behind the ousting of Col. Gaddafi (who was able to hold back the migrant hordes) and the subsequent destruction of Libya.
As Iraqi Refugee Czar in the early days of the Obama White House, Power famously said she was tired of doing ‘rinkey-dink-do-gooder’ stuff like helping Iraqi Christians! See our complete Samantha Power archive here.
Here is Josh Rogin at Bloomberg:

The Obama administration is preparing to announce a plan to admit more refugees over the next two years, but at this point the numbers being proposed are too small to relieve the crisis streaming out of Syria.

Wednesday at the White House, the most senior national security officials will discuss raising the limit on the number of refugees from around the world allowed to enter the United States — from 70,000 this year to 85,000 next year and 100,000 in fiscal 2017, three administration officials told me. If members of the National Security Council Principals Committee agree on the plan, it will be sent to President Obama’s desk, and administration sources say he is likely to quickly approve it.

The plan has the strong support of White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, whose priorities often differ on the Syria issue. McDonough is focused on the fight against ISIS. Power wants to confront Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, and do more to protect the civilians being killed by both. [So what does confront mean? Does Power want the US military to bring down Assad?—ed]

The throngs of desperate migrants fleeing Syria and the images of children washing up on European shores have spurred the Obama administration into action, officials said.

Continue reading here.

Note that there is much discussion about how long it would take for the flow to get underway. Don’t believe it!

We know that the UNHCR has 17,000 (or more by now) prepped to come to America from their camps which house Muslim Syrians. As soon as October 1 is here, the floodgates will open!

British Navy to turn migrant boats back in the Mediterranean (maybe!)

British ship — HMS Richmond to be stationed off Libya

Invasion of Europe news….

Although they say they will arrest and prosecute smugglers they catch, the article is not clear on what happens to the migrants on board.
Longtime readers know that former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Europe they must do that or suffer the enormous consequences they are now experiencing.
This plan by the UK may slow the flow (a little!) from the North African coast, but I sure don’t see how this will help the present crisis of boats launching from Turkey into the Aegean Sea.
One ship isn’t going to do it!
Where is the Navy to turn them back to Turkey?

smuggling map — Look at this Europol map showing migrant routes to the UK from earlier this year. What the heck will one ship do? http://migrantreport.org/the-dangerous-routes-migrants-take-to-the-uk/

From The Guardian:

A Royal Navy frigate is to be sent to take part in a blockade-style naval operation aimed at “boarding, seizing and diverting” refugee boats in the Mediterranean, the Ministry of Defence has said.

The British warship HMS Richmond is to take part in a “more aggressive” phase two of a European Union naval operation operating off the coast of Libya aimed at ending the people-smuggling trade across the Mediterranean.

British defence and foreign ministers gave their informal approval to the EU plan at meetings in Brussels last week, after being told by the Italian admiral in charge of the naval force that 16 boats used by the smugglers could have been seized or destroyed in recent weeks if the new phase had been in force.

HMS Richmond, which has surveillance technology enabling it to operate across a wide area, is likely to be sent to the waters off Libya, where it will be stationed at least 12 miles off the coast. Although it will be able to rescue refugees it comes across, the Ministry of Defence said its primary role would be to board and seize vessels in the southern Mediterranean.

Sounds like just another rescue mission to me.

Saudi Arabia claims they have taken in 2.5 million Syrian refugees (prove it!)

09/16/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

No they haven’t taken refugees. They may have tens of thousands of foreign workers there on a temporary basis, but they are not resettling any ‘refugees’ on a permanent basis. And, I doubt the number of Syrians is in the millions.

S.A deportations — In 2013, Saudi Arabia loaded up tens of thousands of Somali and Ethiopian asylum seekers and shipped them back to Africa said HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH. http://en.alalam.ir/news/1567298 In this photo Africans board buses to the airport for deportation flights to Addis Ababa.

Go here and here to see how this controversy began. Where is the UN High Commissioner for Refugees confirming or denying these claims?
Here is Alarabia:

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Monday chaired a cabinet session in which “false and misleading accusations” over the Kingdom’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis were addressed.

Almost 2.5 million Syrians have been received by Saudi Arabia since the start of the civil war, state news agency SPA reported.

We have been chronicling Saudi Arabia’s mean-spiritedness toward its fellow Muslims for years. Go here for our complete archive on S.A.’s treatment of refugees.
And, I just found a post here from 2008 ,written by blog partner Judy, in which she reports that S.A. takes no refugees on a permanent basis because they don’t want them to have any voting power in the future.
Just a reminder that you will be hearing from western advocates for refugee resettlement that the countries of Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon have an “unfair” burden because they have millions of Syrians in camps there. Always remember that those ‘refugees’ are there on a temporary basis and that when we take in refugees they will be here PERMANENTLY (and we will admit their family members) after the Syrian civil war is long forgotten. The comparison is not a legitimate one.
