President Barack Obama did not mention in his Wednesday night address the recruitment of Minnesotans by ISIS (or ISIL) and their dying in battle overseas.

There are reports that as many as 15 young men and women with Minnesota ties have left to join the terror group.

The State Department confirmed that Douglas McCain, who grew up in the Twin Cities, died in an ISIS battle.

The reported death of Minnesotan Abdirahmaan Muhumed has still not been confirmed by the U.S. government.

While the president outlined his strategy to “degrade and destroy” ISIS, the leaders of Ka-Joog, a nonprofit group that has worked primarily in the Twin Cities Somali community to keep young people from being recruited by terror groups, said the president needs to do more.

He didn’t give a “shout-out” to Lil’ Ali, Abdul and MoMo at the recruiting office?

I saw the CAIR spokesman on Megyn Kelly tonight say he was against ISIS and said even Christianity has their extremist and mentioned the Westborough Baptist Church. They go around annoying the hell out of people but they are not cutting peoples heads off. The comparison is ridiculous.

Westborough doesn’t represent any religion other than their own.

WBC is a sham, orchestrated by Democrats to slander pro-decency conservatives as people who hate the military.

They make money by suing the life out of people who get POed enough to deck them in the face.

That's true of many groups.

Pretty soon the White House will put out press releases referring to “Islamic State of Iraq and Levant” as “I****** State of Iraq and Levant”

It’s not the ones who have left to join ISIS, its the ones that remained behind. I have no doubt the enemy is amongst us as we speak. Ask yourself, How many “groups” of sympathizers have been dispersed all over this country?

Comparisons? --- You want COMPARISONS?
Think of the Ferguson bru-ha-ha then, take a look at THIS:

"According to court documents filed Wednesday in Washington state, where he is accused of killing three other men, Ali Muhammad Brown said he considered it his mission to murder 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin as an act of “vengeance” for innocent lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran."

Now ask why there is no mention of this American jihadi in the news. Is it any wonder at all why Obama isn't making a statement and Eric Holder isn't rushing to stir the pot?

TWO FACTS:

1.It's a black guy who killed a white kid
2. The Black guy calls himself Ali Muhammed and says he's killing for revenge over US aggression in the Middle East.

Has the media been instructed to leave this alone or do they just know their job?
