EXCLUSIVE: Former terror suspect kicked out of Bloomington, Minn. mosque
MyFoxTwinCities.com ^ | 9/5/14 | Tom Leyden

Amir Meshal has a fascinating history. He's originally from New Jersey, but back in 2007 he was detained and interrogated by the FBI in Kenya after escaping from Somalia. Somehow, his travels brought him to Minnesota, and to a mosque in Bloomington, which kicked him out this summer.

Friday prayers bring hundreds to the Al-Farooq Youth and Family Center, which is perhaps the largest mosque in the Twin Cities. But not everyone is welcome -- not after Meshal began attending prayer and hanging out earlier this year.

In June, the center called police and had Meshal, 31, removed and ticketed for trespassing. According to the police report, the mosque said "we have concerns about Meshal interacting with our youth."

Fox 9 has learned some of the travelers to Syria for ISIS had occasionally attended Al-Farooq, including a 19-year old St. Paul girl who left for Syria two weeks ago.

Leyden also broke the story about the terror convert that worked at MSP.

Spell check didn't much care for the names in this story.

Reads like a classic DeNiro SNL skit.

This administration can’t be bothered with minor details, such as this one ‘lone wolf’.

another example of the Just Us Department one has to believe. FBI has been lax or lazy on this case or it could be a sign that there are not enough agents to keep track of the numbers of those here and that is (imho) the answer. Why couldn’t some of our Military People could be utilized for situations such as this? Guess is because we cut our Military too. dang ....

As when George Clooney got kicked out of the “Woolsworths” you have to wonder if it’s just this one mosque or the whole chain?

Are we certain we have a ‘lone wolf’ or with training camp training does this one have contacts? From the story, appears that information is also lacking. Purposely? Don’t know ... Ticks me though. Actually am having a stronger reaction than simply ticked. Lone tick or connected ticks? Know you don’t have that info ... but someone does ... we know not where he is ... makes perfect sense. Maybe we know where he is ... Prayers that is what is true.

I used the ‘lone wolf’ phrase because when this administration is caught with it’s pants down, they always go with that excuse.

‘Nothing to see here’.

Law enforcement (DOJ) has been infiltrated - this is the plan to allow terrorists to roam the country. See the video at post 10 and the one below.

Members of Terror Groups Won’t Automatically Lose U.S. Passports?!

Being a member of a terrorist group is apparently not grounds for revoking an American passport, Trace Gallagher reported tonight on “The Kelly File.”
