Abdirahman Warsame at Terror Free Somalia informed us late last night that messages appearing on known al-Shabaab websites indicate that a suicide bomber who carried out on attack on AMISOM forces in Mogadishu on Monday was a Somali-American from the Minneapolis area. A twenty-two minute audio was posted on the Somali Memo website (article and audio have since disappeared) that included a segment of an English-speaking Somali speaker — apparently the suicide bomber — who encourages Muslims in the West to “die for their religion.”
Another article on Somali Memo identifies the speaker as Asadullahi Axmed “al-Imriiki” (“the American”), a 25-year old-from Minneapolis. The news is quickly being picked up by other Somali online forums.
The issue of radicalization and terror recruitment among Somali-American youths is an issue I’ve covered here at PJ Media since 2007 (long before it became fashionable for the establishment media). In November 2007, I wrote about a terror fundraiser and deputy of designated terrorist Sheikh Aweys, Zakaria Haji Abdi (who is now part of the Somali TFG government), who was scheduled to speak at several events in Minnesota and Virginia. Our pleas to Homeland Security officials to deny entry to the fundraiser fell on deaf ears and the event took place as planned.
At the time I noted that during the Minneapolis event Abdi instructed the attendees how to send money through hawala networks without raising suspicions of authorities. Law enforcement authorities now concede that the November 2007 meeting I reported on was the tipping point for radicalization in the Minneapolis Somali community.
The first group of Somali Americans to leave for jihad back in Somalia left shortly after the Minneapolis event. They were followed by a larger group of nearly two dozen young Somali men in November 2008. But in October 2008, just prior to the departure of the larger group, one Minneapolis man, Shirwa Ahmed, conducted a suicide bombing attack in northern Somalia — the first known case of an American suicide bomber. Several members of the November 2008 group have been confirmed killed fighting with al-Shabaab.
If I ever win the lottery I’m going to sue the Fed. Gov’t for importing failure into my country.
I’d lose but if I at least made it in front of a judge I’d get a chance to lay out a case that in fact all men are not created equal.
Makes it look like Jamie Gorelick is still running the show: ineffective law enforcement and counter-intelligence, highly effective political cover of her CYA appendage. Bah.
I’m sorry, I’m forgetful. Please, remind me, again, why do we import Somalis to the USA? What vital USA interest is served by allowing Somali immigrants into this country? Are they serving as doctors, scientist, engineers, where the USA is seeming short on these skills? Are they advancing US interests and culture? Do they become mainstream “citizens”? Again, please, help me understand why the USA is bringing in Somalis by the proverbial boat load?
Paging Keith Ellison!
This is his district.
Yes, Again.
Not just Somalia, muslims from ANY muslim country should not be allowed in. Especially refugees from muslim violence unless they are non-muslim. Muslims never integrate into Western society. We don’t need them.
You’ve got THAT right.
Islam is the problem. Islam requires that its adherents be in a permanent state of war with the non-Muslim world. Until such time as they are powerful enough to carry out overt acts of war, those who take the precepts of Islam seriously will infiltrate, proselytize, set up sleeper cells, abuse the legal system, corrupt and bribe officials, train their followers, engage in espionage and sabotage – you name it.
Oh, and BY THE WAY, the Muslim “refugee” infiltration problem is NOT solely in Minneapolis or Minnesota:
Southern Fried Stealth Jihad
“Again, please, help me understand why the USA is bringing in Somalis by the proverbial boat load?”
Maybe US schools just aren’t producing a sufficient number of pirates for a country this size.
Let’s see, the baby boomers are in charge, it’s really the Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, and their child hood music is timeless. Sing it! “Everyone is beautiful, in their own way” I hope that helps explain it.
Yeah! Never thought of that. I feel soooo much better.
I believe in the case of the Minneapolis Somalis, a Christian church was responsible for bringing these lost souls into America. All done in the name of charity and good works, but anyone with half a brain should have realized the plan was doomed to failure.
“What vital USA interest is served by allowing Somali immigrants into this country?”
The vital purpose of enabling liberals to demonstrate that they are the most “tolerant” Americans because they support the immigration of our deadly enemies.
Dandapani asked your self you ignorant
So, you can’t answer my question?
We are definitely having a huge problem with the Somali community in this country. But, not to worry, Janet Napolitano said we had nothing to fear from domestic Muslim terrorists. It was only right-wing militia groups we had to worry about, right? The Somali community is in deep, deep, trouble. Many of them are having problems assimilating in this country and, as been shown here, many have be radicalized and sent back to Somalia to kill themselves. One has to wonder how many of them, those with American citizenship, are being trained to kill people in Somalia just to be sent back to the United States to kill Americans. Well, this is where the Somali community can step up to the plate and actually help the FBI. If we can get the cooperation of some of the people to act as informants, then it could go a long way in stopping some potential attacks. But what if they don’t cooperate? What if Somalis in America refuse to help the FBI? Then we should immediately stop all immigration of Somalis into this country. After all, if they’re not going to help the government in their new homeland, then why should we help them with a chance to live in a free society? Let them stay and rot in Somalia if they refuse to help us.
Sommalies and Liberians were brought here by charities after these societies failed in Africa. There appeared to be a shortage of cab drivers. Minnessota has bent over backward in accommadtions. e.g. kneeling toilets and prayer rooms. These are OK and reasonable. Where Minnessotans caved was in allowing these cabdrivers to refuse women (including stewardesses) and people carrying liquor. If a cabee refused to pick up a black he’d lose his license. Same should apply to picking up women etc.
Let’s take these amoral liberals who brought IslamoFascists to this country and ship THEM and their wards back to Mogadishu. God damn these cretinous left wing morons.
Quick! Let’s rush more welfare money into Detroit and Minneapolis to encourage a love of democracy. After all, in the story just beneath this one that’s what Mr. Mauro insists will work in Egypt.
lol….brilliant comment…thanks for making my morning justal.
i am in kentucky still reeling from the news that two terrorist were arrested in a town (bowling green) 2 hours from my home. but here i go again being an islamophob
I wish the President would replace Janet with Elmer Fudd. We would have a more competent leader and one with much less need of Botox.
I am retired now, but I spent a lot of years teaching in a large, suburban school in metro Minneapolis/St. Paul. Of the 100 ESL students in the school, about three-quarters were Somalis. I have worked with kids of all ethnicities, all races over the years. None were as verbally combative, arrogant, or dirty as the Somali kids. Just sitting next to them was difficult because of their lack of personal hygeine. Just about all of these kids lived in a large apartment complex that wasn’t even within that school’s district lines. Wealthy parents at the school closest to the apartment building had waged a successful effort to block the Somali students from being enrolled at their school. So we got them. The principal and the school social worker made a home visit to the apartment building. There was garbage everywhere, it smelled to high heaven, and there was feces smeared on the walls in the hallways. Why, oh why, do we want to import such people into our country? They get social security benefits immediately upon entry, sucking up our taxpayer dollars. They have no education, no skills, and their way of life is primitive, not to mention that they subscribe to a religion that teaches them to kill us. They come here as immigrants and then start bossing the hosts around (taxi drivers at the airport, sharia finance, prayer rooms, foot-bathing faucets, demanding days off from work and school for Islamic holidays). Americans better wake up. These people are a silent army invading our country. They use our legal and political systems to their advantage to undermine us. And we close our eyes to it. As a grown-up (and we have very few grown-ups in our country anymore), I’m not sorry to say this: Moral equivalence and relativism are stupid concepts. All cultures and societies are NOT equal. Multiculturism is the most damaging thing that has every happened to our country. Just look at Europe. Wake up America!
Dear Teacher:
You aren’t allowed to see that. And if you continue to say you’ve seen it, your lies will earn you dismissal. Or something like that.
Political correctness has reached Orwellian proportions. They’re trying to wipe out entire areas of perception and thought.
Yes, yes, I know. I’m a racist, a bigot, and an Islamophobe. But, we all should be. Otherwise, we are doomed. Don’t we even have the will to survive anymore? It seems that we will just slide into dhimmitude without a whimper. We no longer can make distinctions about good and evil, moral and immoral behavior, or childish and adult behavior. If we can not make judgments about these things, then God help us.
You are right. PC is killing us.
Teacher,
I drive by that place every week. If you’ve been following the news that isn’t in the RedStar, you’d know that you, as a taxpayer, are footing the bill and carrying the note for its refurbishment, again. The city is washing its hands of the place, but the new consortium of investors is letting the good old taxpayer carry most of the debt.
I am not good at accounting, but if you know anything about it, you can read the city council minutes and see what I’m talking about.
Why so clean, if they live in such squallor?
My memory is hazy on this but didn’t you leave a virtually identical post a few months ago complete with feces smeared walls but talking about Omaha or some place?
No. I have been to Omaha once in my life–just passing through. I worked as a teacher for many years in Minnesota and four years teaching in Turkey.
I have lived in Minnesota all my life, and I can’t TELL you how happy it makes me to know that one less shitbag will be re-entering my beloved state. I welcome people of all colors to my state, but NOT all faiths anymore. Muslims and muslims alone hold the honor of being the one color, faith or creed that I am biased against from the start. If there ever were any honest Muslims of good will whose idea was to really show a better side of their faith, their chance has passed. I don’t like it…but they’ve had almost 10 years since 9/11 to show me why Islam shouldn’t be expunged from all polite society, and they have blown it big time.
If, God forbid, a nuke goes off in an American city, it should be our policy to ensure that a nuke goes off in Mecca and Medina within 2 hours no matter the source of our attack just on general principles. I used to be a liberal, people. I still am in some ways. I’m just really, really tired of being taken advantage of.
It’s not a matter of if, but when, there will be another Hasan-style mass shooting or a suicide bombing in America. And if 9/11, the mass murder at Ft. Hood, the Christmas Day wannabe bomber, and all the innumerable other thwarted attempts haven’t clued in the current authorities, why should we think the next few will?
Have we heard anything from the family of this suicide terrorist? Are they appalled at what their relative has done or are they applauding his “heroic” action. And, by the way, why isn’t Homeland Security investigating the family to see if there are any other potential suicide terrorists to come crawling out of the woodwork. The entire family of their suicide terrorist relative should be immediately sent back to Somalia…and they pay the bill.
Religion is absurd….it was invented when man could not figure where the hell we came from….Muslims are a cult…a big one too…brainwashed…they kill for religion…just like Christians did from 400-1800′s…..we evolved over 5 billion years of time and space…
Well, I don’t know about that blanket mayhem you may be referring to, but much of the war they were involved with was defense of Western territories from Muslim and Moghul invasion, from the late 7th century forward.
You can see how far we’ve evolved. It must be the Christianity that makes them all so evil.
I think Kenny Komodo has finally spoken what I have been saying for years. You must begin not with the offspring, but with the parents. The absence of admitting to responsibility for children and what they do unfortunately is so prevalent in American society due to the satanic scourge of political correctness, which in many cases has been codified so cleverly that getting these laws off the books is nearly impossible, that “how the branch is bent so the tree will grow” is a lost concept. These young men did not get so sorely inflamed through one instance of meeting with a recruiter or hearing a “sermon.” They have been taught from birth not to question; to obey without question; and to kill the infidel (anyone who does not ascribe to the “faith” of Islam). While it is true, parts of the Koran call for peace, for every such phrase, there is one or more deadly counterphrase which you are free to pick, choose, and interpret at will. In addition to the parents and relatives of these converts to self-annihilation, the Imams who continually spout hatred opely — and are known to do so by our government — should be held accountable; and, the constant flow of seditious sites should be blocked. You don’t have to let such messages flow uninterrupted into this country in order to “listen in.” The problems which grow daily in this area need to be handled, not just watched “for activists.”
Kenny Kommando: Advocating the ridding the country of the entire family due to the criminality/terrorism of just one of their members will earn you the defamation of being identified as against “human rights” with regard to “collective punishment.” In fact, wsuch a punishment would place the blame squarely where it lies, in the family complex. It is time to make our own survival come first. Under these circumstances, collective punishment was used by the USA in Dresden in Germany and in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan. It appears to have worked, saving many allied souls. We need to re-institute such collective punishment in the USA as Americans’ very survival depends on it.
In Israel, where I also reside, many of us believe that for every terrorist caught or killed, that person’s family home should also be destroyed. “Collective punishment”, yes, in a way. However, there is no doubt that the family complex influenced, or, at least, did nothing to prevent terrorism. In fact, the same punishment could be applied to an entire neighbourhood or village. Israel sits on a fault line. I can tell you that if the fate of the family, neighbourhood or the entire village were dependent on the behaviour of its members, acts of terrorism would significantly diminish. At some point in the near future, Israel will have to reconsider its “humane” outlook given that it’s own survival as a Jewish state is at risk. I suggest that the USA will have to make a similar decision before it’s too late.
Look thees Names making comment Ending VIC and all so like teacher I’m sure he is from poor Europe there is no one America or his Grand of Grand mother why are u making such comment like this although all fingers are not same. if one of our people
can take different decision does not mean all people have the same ….
I dont understand what is going on here the place of bomber is Minneapolis or mogadisho and Soldiers who die is american or african
Muslim residents of America are leaving America to go fight jihad against non-Muslims. That’s all. Nothing you’d object to, so I can see why you’re confused.
mr teacher your comment is rediculous and deplorable i think you are intoxicated piglet who enjoys the defaming of the elite somali community who,
According to your ranting statements,you are big nosed african-american slave brought by the colonists.
before you pronounce the precious name of somalia,it is better to wash your putrid mouth that you have never brushed.
America is proud to have somali community who is ideal in all the social aspects.
With out somalis america is dark hole.
If two or three boyz gotback to their homeland to fight with the foreign mercineries in the country,what is the problem?
Isn,t that their responsibility? Why are you making it as big crime or treason?
Damn all our haters
Viva somalia
Allaahu akbar.
Notice the more telling elements of this post:
1. Use of “piglet” as an insult. Mohammed told his early Muslim followers that unbelieving Jews were turned into swine. Pigs are “najis,” dirty…up there with dead human bodies and dogs. So a teacher who was shocked at the dirt and filth and coarseness of the Somali immigrants she observed is “dirty.”
2. Note the assumption of the teacher as male. It would never occur to this poster that in the United States, both male and female teachers teach female and male students. To this poster, the idea of a female teacher teaching the rude, disrespectful Muslim Somali boys in her class is unthinkable. How can a woman teach Muslim males? QED, rude Muslim boys, disrespectful of a female teacher.
3. Though there is no real premise for the comment, note the poster feels that being an “african-american” with a “big nose”. The Arabic word for slave is “abd,” (poster is not Arabic), and it is also the Arabic word for “black person.” They have called them that since even before Mohammed. They captured the “abd” in Africa and sold them to slavers. Poster, being of Somali origin, does not have a “big nose,” and feels this is the dividing point between his “race” and other black people. Does anyone remember that episode of the original Star Trek where the harlequin-looking characters were fighting, and it was discovered in the end that the cause was that one was black on one side, and one was white? Sorry, occurred to me for some reason here.
4. The brushing of one’s teeth is a matter of pride in Islam, since it is halal to use a miswak to brush one’s teeth in imitation of their founder, Mohammed. Nice habit, and swell that he’s so proud, but notice how it becomes an insult. Those who are not Muslim must do all things haram, there cannot be good (i.e. obedience) in them, therefore “Teacher” must not brush her teeth.
5. Poster assumes America’s pride in having the Somali community present. He is incorrect. If I see Somali girls who dress Western and do not cover their hair, I rejoice. Americans are dismayed that Somalis think they need to cover 6-year-old girls’ hair for fear they will be viewed as sexual objects. Notice in his culture this is necessary, for some reason.
6. Note the death of innocent civilians and UN peacekeepers does not bother nor concern this Somali Muslim.
7. It is a big crime to kill civilians and U.N. peacekeepers or other peacekeeping forces. It is not treason, I suppose, but those who support the actions of those Americans who recruit and attract these boys is treason, and those people should be tried and put to death if guilty.
8. Note a lack of “religion of peace” message from this Somali Muslim. Were you expecting one?
9. “Allahu akbar”. “Allah is greatest.” Greater than the law, greater than your God (whom they simultaneously claim as One and the same as Allah), and your objections to these actions is a manifestation of your religious beliefs, and you are damned for that because you are not Muslim. Allah will not allow paradise for the unbelievers (non-Muslims) and he is preparing a special kind of hell for them. Don’t forget, now!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Hey – knuckledragging raghead. Until you can truly assimilate, better yourself, and get along with everyone in this country, NO ONE wants you here in this country. You are nothing but a scourge. Your day is coming when you and all like you are getting tossed from this country. Once you’re back in the islamic hellhole that you came from, you all can enjoy hacking each other death for your fun and pleasure. It’s what you do so well.
I recall reading some years back the HIGHEST concentration of those of Muslim faith is in Minn/St. Paul.
I wish this was surprising but..
The two biggest sponsors of Somali immigration are Tyson Foods and Catholic Charities.
Allahu akbar allahu akbar somali will be the winer insha allaah!
It will not be much longer.
Following Muhammad who raped, and murdered, is Islam. The god, or Allah is the old moon god called Sin. That’s why the moon is on their Mosques, and why the god can not hear a thing. He does not exist.
Yes, yes I know, allah akbar baby. The god is greatest of all other gods at the Kabba. All 359, plus the god = 360 false gods at zero point.
I went to the gun range the other day to zero my toy. My son was with me and asked the range master if we could use my old targets with the image on Kadafi on them or use some with bin Laden on them. We were told “no”. It might upset some people’s sensitivities. I looked up and down the range all I saw was white men with a smattering of Asians. One person was using a silhouette of a person which was filled totally with black. I couldn’t help thinking why wasn’t this offensive after all the target was black. I guess here in America it must be all right to shoot at black targets, human silhouette but not at known Moslem killers. Why does this bother me?
leatherneck ,your comment is as filthy as your name.
the noble Prophet and messenger of Allah,Muhammad never raped or killed any body that misconception and baseless propaganda is only confined in you God damned narrow mind that has no space to receive the truth……. Prophet muhammad is mercy to all mankind
Read the holy Qur,an surah anbiya verse 107
Allahs says, and we have not sent you forth but mercy to mankind
@23 abdulfatah Al- soomaali
Is this tongue in cheek?
“Allahs says, and we have not sent you forth but mercy to mankind”
What if ‘mankind’ doesn’t want your ‘mercy’?
Are you some kind of imperialists or colonialists?
And whats with the ‘Allahs’? All 360 of them?
You will go to HELL for that typo.
And what’s with the IDOLATRY, kissing a black stone,
the holiest part of the holy kaaba, in the holiest part of
the holiest city in holy Saudi Arabia?
Muhammad gave a lot of mercy to the Kareshie(sp) tribe. How many was that he had beheaded. How many women did he enslave, and rape?
Muhammad married a 7 year old girl, and raped her at nine. You can not change history boy.
You might think my code name is dirty, but it stands for the name that acts as a dating service to you moon god worshipers, so you can have your 72 rasins. Islam plays it’s role nicely in Europe, and America. It causes hate, and discontent which helps the CFR Globalists change laws.
What god did Muhammad’s family worship before he was born? What god is his Uncle named after?
to
tim bus
You said no one needs mercy!
You must know that all the people are not ruthless gangs like you?
people need mercy of Allah and guidance if you were misled by satan and put your mind that you are powerful do not judge all the people,you are their spokesman,
You are spokesman of God cursed stone-hearted devils.
You have talked about 300 gods that we worship?
-muslims are monotheists that means they worship one and only Allah the owner of the universal,your God,our God that is God of all the things that exist.
You mentioned worshipping black stone or ka,ba that is stil your misconception,no one worships that stone and kissing is not obligatory
ka,ba is santuary and it was built by prophet abraham
-how many years your minds will be manipulated by the priests in the church?
When will you understand the non-existant propagandas spread by the churches?
@24. Allah is one and only
That is your name?
Allah is one and only, and is posting on pajamasmedia? WOW!
If you are not allah, you are blaspheming;
and some other shaggy crotch-hair-faced knuckle dragger
will get your 72 virgins and peachy bazi bachi.
Your misquote:
“You said no one needs mercy!”
Wrong. I said:
“What if ‘mankind’ doesn’t want your ‘mercy’?”
Who wants the ‘mercy’ YOU showed to David Pearl, Zahra Kazemi,
Pim Fortuyn, Theo van Goch…to the victims of New York, Madrid,
Bali, London…
“You must know that all the people are not ruthless gangs like you?”
You mean not all the umma? I agree. Only say 1% are psychopaths, that’s 15,000,000 zombies; scary! Maybe another 10% actively support ‘the brothers’; that’s a cool 150,000,000 terrorist supporters.
The other 1,350,000,000 sheeple see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. Neither do they speak out against mohammedan atrocities.
“…gangs like you…”
Sorry lady, you don’t know me. I’m not ruthless, except in exposing mohammedan cant, lies and taqiyya. And there’s only one of me.
But there are lots more like me, as you can see, on this blog, and others, shining a light on satan’s momo spawn, who are brainwashing the next generation of incendiary jihadists, stockpiling weapons at mosque armouries, embedded in government…
That’s enough for now. Other readers can see through your taqiyya.
The entire Muslim problem is Islam. To all intents and purposes, there are no good Muslims because the politico-religious system advances global rule and destruction of all other religions and peoples.
That’s the name of the tune and won’t ever change.
muslims are against world problems
Islam means peace and submission of the will of Allah(God)
I think your problem is peace?
Or submiting to almighty God?
There are no good muslims because they did not occupy your country and massacre your people?do you mean so?
Or they are not good because they do not drink alcohol and molest their children?
or they are not good because they don,t believe in three idol gods(trinity)
Or god women?god son and ghost?
what is the creterio that defferenciates good people from the bad ones?
the devil cn actually convince people to give their life up and kill others and this is good. Imagine ????
@26. abdullahi angola
“what is the creterio that defferenciates good people from the bad ones?”
Easy:
We love death more than you love life.
That’s it. In a (your) nutshell.
