A one-time janitor at a Minneapolis mosque was found guilty Thursday of conspiring to help a terrorist group recruit young Minnesota men for a holy war in their native Somalia.
A federal jury in Minneapolis deliberated about 8 1/2 hours before convicting Mahamud Said Omar, 46, in a case that provided the clearest picture to date of a worldwide investigation into the recruiting of at least 20 young men to fight in Somalia with Al-Shabab, a U.S.-designated terror group.
Omar, of Minneapolis, rocked gently in his seat and studied the jurors dispassionately as the verdict was read.
Guilty on count one: conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. Guilty on count two: providing material support to terrorists. Guilty on count three: conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, namely, the Islamist group Al-Shabab. Guilty on count four: providing material support to Al-Shabab.

Thanks to all the Minnesota Lutherans for sponsoring the Somali refugees to relocate to Minnesota. What a stupid idea. Perfect example of ignorant do-gooders endangering all of us with their naivete. Obviously they’ve assimilated REAL WELL. Sheesh.
Why is anyone surprised? Typical Muslim.
Wondering if a fatwah will be declared against us Minnesotans?
” A one-time janitor at a Minneapolis mosque was found guilty Thursday of conspiring to help a terrorist group recruit young Minnesota men for a holy war in their native Somalia.”
There’s a way to get rid of the jihadists already here. And they stopped him?

The Minnesota Lutherans ain’t what they used to be.
Yeah, rethinking my previous answer.
Don’t deport him.
Give the man a federal grant to run the Somali Jihadi Repatriation program.
