Minneapolis Somali women angry with sentencing in 2013 terror-funding case. More fun on the way! http://www.komonews.com/news/national/2-Minnesota-women-sentenced-in-Somali-terror-case-207813961.html
In the previous postwe gave readers the tiny Syrian resettlement numbers (so far!), but check out the Somali numbers—2,801 new Somalis have arrived in America in just the first three months of Fiscal Year 2015! At this pace they will surely be approaching the high George Bush Somali “welcoming” years!
Once again, see the very cool data basemaintained by the US State Department’s Refugee Processing Center. (I use the fiscal year, but you might find it more understandable to use the calendar year option).
Somalis were resettled in about 115 cities large and small, but here are the top ten with the numbers in parenthesis. Again, these numbers are for three months (October, November and December 2014, the first three months of Fiscal Year 2015). And, it is possible that all December data has not yet been entered.
1. Minneapolis, MN (148)
2. Columbus, OH (127)
3. Phoenix, AZ (123)
4. Portland, OR (108)
5. Buffalo, NY (103)
6. Salt Lake, UT (100)
7. Louisville, KY (92)
8. Erie, PA (89)
9. Nashville, TN (81)
10. Three-way tie with (77) each
Seattle, WA
Houston, TX
St. Cloud, MN
(You might want to check my numbers, go tothe data base, and see if I missed some top ten city and see if your city ‘welcomed’ Somalis! By the way, Anchorage, Alaskagot 30 more mosque worshipers).
New readers: See ‘Why so many Somalis in Minneapolis?’ our top post of 2014 (even though it was written in 2011)—thank three ‘Christian Charities’ for flooding Minnesota with Somali Muslims.
Since we just posted about “welcoming” Sweden it seems like a good time to mention a couple of the charming new Swedes they are exporting!
From the New York Daily News (hat tip: crime investigator extraordinaire, ‘Pungentpeppers,’ who always finds the juiciest news!):
A reputed terrorist facing trial in Brooklyn likened killing innocent civilians in suicide bomb attacks to a “forgivable sin comparable to masturbation,” authorities disclosed.
Terror suspect Madhi Hashi. Apparently no photos available of the two additional “twisted” Muslims.
Federal prosecutors opened a window into the twisted mind of al-Shabaab goon Ali Yasin Ahmed in papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, where he is charged with co-defendants Madhi Hashi and Mohammed Yusuf with providing material support to the Somalia-based militant group, which has merged with al Qaeda to wreak havoc throughout the world. [The implication here is that Ahmed is twisted but in fact his thinking is right in line with Islamic teaching—ed]
Conversations between Ahmed and Yusuf, who are Swedish citizens, were intercepted in November 2008. Yusuf is heard voicing doubts about traveling to Somalia to join al-Shabaab in light of a series of suicide bombing attacks in Africa targeting buildings operated by the United Nations and the Somali government that killed 26 people, according to court documents.
But Ahmed puts his comrade’s jitters to rest, according to the court papers. “Ahmed minimized the significance of suicide bombings against civilian targets and suggested that if such attacks were in fact a sin, they were an immaterial, forgivable sin comparable to masturbation,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys Shreve Ariail, Seth DuCharme and Richard Tucker wrote.
The three defendants joined al-Shabaab and served under the command of Arabi-American Jehad Mostafa, a San Diego native who made the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists. Hashi, 25, was allegedly a member of a suicide bombing unit. Ahmed 29, and Yusuf, 31, allegedly received military training. [San Diego is an important Muslim refugee resettlement city***—ed]
If Yusuf once had second thoughts about becoming a foreign fighter, they were gone by 2010 when he starred in an al-Shabaab propaganda video called “Inspire the Believers” that sought to recruit jihadists, and also allegedly threatened to behead Danish cartoonist Lars Vilks for mocking the Prophet Mohammad, the feds stated.
Defense lawyers are seeking to dismiss the indictment, contending there is no basis to prosecute the trio in the U.S.
I don’t see anything about how the two charmers Sweden sent out into the world came into our custody, so if anyone sees more, please send a comment to this post and update us all.
*** By the way, back in 2008 and 2009 we learned that some of the Somali “missing youths” who were traveling out of the US were in fact driving to San Diego and from there crossing into Mexico en route to Somalia and Jihad training with Al Shabaab. Don’t have time this morning to search for those links.
Update December 31st: Richard at Blue Ridge Forum directs us to this story with updates—oopsy! Looks like there may not have been an intentional fire set by right wing Islamophobic fanatics after all!
Update December 30th: Another Swedish mosque arson, here.
At least that is what the media wants you to think happened in Eskilstuna. We’ll see if a right-winger (Afrophobia!) is responsible or if it is the result of one of those Somali on Somali clan grievances.
Police said between 15 and 20 people were in the mosque in the Swedish town of Eskilstuna when the fire broke out at around noon on Thursday. Of the five injured, two were treated for smoke inhalation, two suffered lacerations and one a foot injury.
Police said they were treating the fire, which forced the evacuation of several nearby apartments, as an arson.
“A witness saw somebody throw an object through the window of the building, which serves as a mosque, after which a violent fire began,” police spokesman Lars Franzell said.
There was no word on the possible identity of the suspect and there was no immediate claim of responsibility. The mosque is used primarily by Somali Muslims in the town, according to the KNA news agency. Eskilstuna is located about 90 kilometers (56 miles) west of Stockholm.
Political debate over immigration
The apparent arson attack comes amid a growing political debate over immigration in the country, which has traditionally been seen as welcoming to immigrants.
If anyone sees an update on this story, please send it my way.
Go herefor our extensive Sweden archive. I guess lucky for the mosque leaders that this is not a no-go zone for police and emergency crews.
The Hijra is well underway Down Under. Muslims pray in the streets of Lakemba, a Sydney suburb, in this 2013 photo. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-08/muslims-pray-in-the-street-outside-lakemba-mosque/4873036
Just two days ago (a day before the hostage takingthat is still on-going as of this writing) Australians learned that two more Muslim young women, wannabe jihadi brides successfully left Australia to join ISIS. An earlier Australian jihadist was killed in Syria and her father now blames the Australian government for not being able to stop her!
I say let them go, and never let them back in to any civilized country.
Mohamed Karroum blames the Abbott government for the death of his adult daughter in Syria because they failed to stop her from leaving Australia (they had stopped her twice!). Any way to deport him back to where he came from?
A TEENAGER and her 20-year-old friend have become the first Australian women to “go it alone” to join terrorists in Syria and offer themselves as potential jihadi brides, intelligence agencies believe.
The girls, Hodan, 18 and Hafsa, 20, who are believed to have links with the Somali community, flew out of Sydney in the past fortnight to go overseas and are believed to have lied to their families about why they were travelling. The Sunday Telegraph has chosen not to publish their last names.
While there have been numerous cases of young Australian men being radicalised by Islamic State recruiters and women joining their husbands or boyfriends in the Syrian war zone, this is the first case of young women travelling independently to travel to the war zone.
If they travel to Islamic State’s stronghold in northern Syria, the province of al-Raqqa, the pair will face a jail term of up to 10 years if they ever return to Australia. [Don’t let them in and save the taxpayers the cost of a trial and incarceration.—ed]
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said fresh reports of teenagers travelling to the region was of great concern.
[….]
Islamic State has issued a worldwide recruitment drive to secure brides for jihadists fighters.
Murdered Australian woman Amira Karroum, who grew up in Brisbane, died after she travelled to Syria with her husband.
Adding insult to Australia’s injury, the father of Amira Karroum wants to sue the government of Australia for letting her leave the country! It’s just as I said about Sweden yesterday, let them in out of humanitarian zeal and then get kicked in the teeth—when will leaders of first world countries get it? Hereis the recent story at the Daily Telegraph. Then watch the obnoxious father, Mohamed Karroum, on A Current Affair.
Come on! We must stop the Hijra (migration) jihad!
Here is a story that will make your head spin. In the first version I read from two days ago it sure sounded like some crazy white guy who hated Somalis intentionally killed a Somali teen with his SUV. CAIR was immediately on the scene.
Ahmed Aden charged with murder of Muslim Somali teen told police earlier that “people from Islam were going to kill him.”
Then after looking for an update, we have this story from late last night at the Kansas City Star that tells a different story. Turns out the man arrested for the intentional killing of the teen is another Somali, supposedly a Christian one (very rare) who believed that the Muslim Somalis were out to kill him.
Isn’t diversity beautiful!
Kansas City, by the way, is (no surprise) a preferred resettlement community. Check out who is bringing Somalis to Kansas City by going to this handy list. One of the contractors operating in KC is a Jewish organization.
Before suffering gruesome and fatal injuries Thursday, Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein helped lead the evening Muslim prayers at his mosque near downtown.
“He asked for mercy for humankind and asked for humans to follow the righteous path,” remembered Ali Abdi, the assistant director of the Somali Center of Kansas City and its mosque.
But Abdisamad, 15, received no mercy minutes later as he stepped off the curb at 1340 Admiral Boulevard and headed toward a car. A Chevrolet Blazer speeding eastbound sideswiped the car and struck Abdisamad, nearly severing his legs.
The Staley High School sophomore died later at a hospital.
The driver of the SUV, Ahmed H. Aden, a 34-year-old Kansas City truck driver, told police after his arrest that he had been searching for men who’d threatened him nine days earlier. And he said he planned to kill those men if he found them, according to court records.
Aden told police that he intentionally struck Abdisamad, but he had mistaken the teen for one of the men who had threatened him.
Jackson County prosecutors charged Aden with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, leaving the scene of an accident and unlawful use of a weapon.
[….]
Aden, whom sources described as a Somali Christian, now is the target of both a state murder investigation and a federal hate-crimes probe, authorities said.
Members of the Somali community said that Aden long was known to have made frequent and violent threats against Muslims and the mosque, occasionally even threatening the mass slaughter of worshipers.
CAIR representative: anti-Muslim graffiti on Aden’s car
Moussa Elbayoumy, chairman of the Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said a member of the mosque has a photo of Aden’s SUV, taken about two months ago, showing anti-Muslim graffiti, reading, “Quran is a virus disease (worse) than Ebola.”
Read on, some of those interviewed at the mosque think it had nothing to do with a Christian v. Muslim issue but that Aden was just crazy.
One more long prison term that US taxpayers will have to fund.
