Members of the largest ethnic Somali community in the United States expressed frustration on Tuesday, fearing a backlash after the attack on a Kenya shopping mall by a Somalia-based Islamic group that has recruited fighters in Minnesota.
It was unclear whether any of the attackers were connected to Minnesota's Somali community. But Somali-American leaders in Minneapolis were quick to condemn the assault after early unconfirmed reports identified one or more of the attacking al Shabaab rebels as recruits from the United States.
At least 20 young ethnic Somali men have left Minnesota since 2007 to join al Shabaab in Somalia, some dying there, U.S. authorities have said. The Minnesota Somali community has been the focus of a federal investigation since then.
An affiliate of al Qaeda, al Shabaab has been designated a terror organization by the United States. At least 67 people were killed in Nairobi's Westgate Mall, along with five of the attackers.
"This attack has generated a real concern among the Somali communities and fear of backlash," said Omar Jamal, a community activist and former head of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center.

They fear “backlash”? If only... I’d be a bit more sympathetic if they had takeen a firm stand and denounced the actions of their brothers-in-arms. They’ve never criticized the terrorism we’ve suffered by their brothers-in-arms. I hope there’s severe backlash. (But there won’t be. Sadly.)
Big mistake to ever let these people in our country. We have paid for them to grow well-nourished terrorists. They should all be invited to return to their beloved native hell hole, where I am sure they will be safe from “backlash.”
Because the Afrikaaners are just a bunch of evil white people who deserve to be brutally killed in their homes?
Just thinking out loud here in Obamaland....
Don’t start none, won’t be none.
And you might want to denounce these animals, publicly.
It seems two members of there mosque participated in the slaughter. None of them noticed those two radicals were preparing to slaughter people which I can somewhat understand. What I cannot understand is why those people have yet to condemn those involved in the slaughter who were members of their mosque. Their silence speaks volumes.
The American founding fathers and early scholars – since the 18th century – were aware of deeply-rooted Islamic violence, terrorism, intolerance and hatred toward other Muslims, as well as non-Muslims.
Early American leaders and thinkers were endowed with deep appreciation and unique knowledge of global history, international relations, ancient cultures, ideologies and religions. They spoke and wrote candidly about global threats, including the Islamic threat.
In 1830, New York University Prof. George Bush, the great-granduncle of G.H.W. Bush, considered one of the most profound American scholars of the mid-19th century, published The Life of Mohammed. He was not concerned about political correctness, was low on delusion and top heavy on realism. His 1830 reference to the Islamic threat was consistent with the 2012 state of intra-Muslim atrocities, hate-education, tyranny, anti-US stormy Arab winter, intolerance of criticism, global Islamic terrorism in general and suicide bombing in particular.
According to Prof. Bush, ”[Mohammed] promised robes of silks, marble palaces, groves and fountains and beautiful virgins to those who fought for the faith…offering his enemies the alternative; the Koran or the sword…. It was inflamed by zeal for a religion which assured the soldier of victory now and paradise hereafter. The permanence of this religion is now apparently secured by education…in regions where freedom of thought is unknown (p. 155-6)….
“O prophet of God, I will beat out the teeth, pull out the eyes, rip open the bellies and cut off the legs of all who shall dare to oppose thee (pp. 36-37)…. [Muhammed] was cruel on principle. He did deliberately what other men do from impulse…. The ambition which tramples on the right of men to think or to live is the greatest of human crimes…. The sword is the key of heaven and hell. A drop of blood shed in the cause of God is of more avail than two months of fast and prayers. Whosoever falls in the battle his sins are forgiven… and the loss of his limbs shall be replaced by the wing of angels (103-4)…. Hatred of Christians and Jews is rooted in their hearts from childhood (p. 137)….
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church (1703-1791) preferred clarity over ambiguity when describing Islam: “Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it… have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws…. Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind”.
Thomas Jefferson studied the Koran, to become more knowledgeable about a chief enemy – the Moslem Barbary pirates, who plundered American ships, enslaving Americans, demanding protection money and ransom for their release. During 1784-1789, while Jefferson (the 3rd US President) was ambassador to France and John Adams (the 2nd US President) was ambassador to England, they met with the Barbary Ambassador to London, in an attempt to stop the anti-US piracy. Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman told them: “[Piracy] was founded on the laws of the Prophet, as it was written in the Koran; that all nations which had not acknowledged [Islam’s] authority were sinners; that it was [the Moslem’s] right and duty to make war upon them and enslave them as prisoners, and that every Muslim slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
John Quincy Adams, sixth US President (1825-1829), wrote after his presidency and before his election to Congress in 1830: “The precept of the Koran is perpetual war against all who deny that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. [Mohamet] declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind…. Between [Christianity and Islam], thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant….” (Blunt, 29:274).
In 1916, Teddy Roosevelt observed: “Wherever the Mohammedans have had a complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared” (ditto, Judaism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism …).”
In 2012, US policy-makers should benefit from the experience of early US leaders and thinkers – whose observations have been vindicated by the recent turmoil in Arab lands – avoiding the lethal trap of political correctness in their assessment of the Islamic threat.
The pain you have brought against innocent people requires for you a death that never ends.
You have made your bed, now lie in it and burn forever. No power can save you.
Up to three American teenager were among the terrorists who attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya’s foreign minister Amina Mohamed confirmed on Monday.
The Americans, aged between 18 and 19, of Somali or Arab origin, lived in Minnesota and one other place in the U.S, she said in an interview with the PBS NewsHour. One Brit was also believed to be involved.
The revelation would support other information posted on Twitter, which suggested the Somali terror cell which carried out the attack was 15-strong and contained many nationalities, including citizens of the United States.
Won’t mean a thing. Taquiya.
The US Somalis especially in Mionnesota have done nothing to drive the radicals from their mosques or denounce terrorism. They are content to separate themselves from mainstream America, live by sharia law and accept any government handouts they can get. If Somali linked terrorists strike in the US, the the US Somalis deserve backlash and should be lucky we don’t put them all in internment camps or deport them en masse.
If there are Americans among the muslim terrorists and they survive, can they be extradited? And could we execute them in Minn.? Or where in the US would they be tried?
That may explain Minnesota's decades long love affair with the very European ideology of Marxism.
Here in the South we aren't as white, but we're much more conservative.
Here in the South we are armed to the frigging teeth which the culture both allows & encourages, and as a result our local muzzies tend to keep vewy vewy quiet.
From where I live the city `Islamic center’ can be seen swarming with dishdashas & hijabs on Friday “Jumma”, but they don’t inflict muzzie in-your-face in public places (cursing summer-clad women, throwing stones at black dogs, demanding demanding demanding, etc.) like in some northern cities.
Thanks markomalley.
Angry minorities prop up white liberal elites... that's why the MSM supports them - even when they're violent.
I believe the acronym is DYTIGAS (Do You Think I Give A Sh...).
Oh noes, the dreaded “backlash” again. Somehow that never happens.
I wasn’t referring to the moslem presence but to ideology in general. The Upper Midwest is ethnically a Nazi’s paradise, but it’s been far left politically since the days of Populism. Meanwhile, the “Black Belt” is much more politically conservative (no thanks to its Blacks, unfortunately).
::Slaps face:: I just realized that the South was populist for a very long time, from William Jennings Bryan to “Alfalfa Bill” Murray. But for some reason Midwestern populism is left wing and Southern populism is right wing.
