Almost 100,000 Somali Refugees Admitted to US Since 9/11; 99.6% Muslim

By Patrick Goodenough | September 19, 2016

(CNSNews.com) – Almost 100,000 Somali refugees have been resettled in the United States since 9/11, including 8,619 so far during the current fiscal year. The largest number – some 16 percent of the total over the past 15 years – have been resettled in Minnesota, home to the nation’s biggest Somali-American community.

Of the 97,046 Somali refugees admitted to the U.S. since the fall of 2001, 99.6 percent were Muslim, and 28,836 (29.7 percent) were males between the ages of 14 and 50.

In FY 2015 Somalis were the third largest contingent of refugees admitted to the U.S. – 8,858, or 12.6 percent of the total from around the world. Only Burma, with 26.3 percent, and Iraq, with 18.1 percent, accounted for larger groups of refugees arriving in the country.

The biggest influx of Somali refugees over the past 15 years occurred during the FY 2004-2006 period, after which the numbers dwindled before picking up again from FY 2014-2016, State Department Refugee Processing Center data show.

I think it started in December 1992, after George Herbert Walker Bush lost his re-election bid. Bush gave us the bird on his way out the door.

This happened in February and nothing was done about it.

FBI eyes ‘lone-wolf’ terror attack in Ohio
February 19th, 2016 | Author: The Meister

by Leo Hohmann

A Muslim immigrant from Africa unleashed a bloody machete attack on patrons at a restaurant owned by a Christian Arab Israeli in Columbus, Ohio, Thursday night and the FBI is now investigating it as a possible act of “lone-wolf” terrorism.

CBS News was first to identify the attacker, who entered the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant and began slashing people, as a man named Mohamed Barry. CBS reported Barry had a background from Somalia but a family friend told WND Saturday that Barry was originally from Guinea in west Africa. Columbus Police have yet to confirm his country of origin.

Barry was known to the FBI, but not under full-scale investigation, law enforcement sources told ABC News. He was in a law enforcement database which includes names potentially related to terrorism, sources said.

“He came to each table and just started hitting them,” one of the diners, Karen Bass, told CBS News. “There was a man on the floor bleeding. There was blood on the floor. It was awful. It was just carnage.”

Four people were wounded in the machete attack, one critically.

The owner of the restaurant, Hany Baransi, who is a Christian Arab from Israel, said he had not taken a day off since Jan. 2 but took off Thursday night because of a migraine headache. He is a proud Israeli citizen who flies the Israeli flag in his restaurant.

“Obviously we were targeted because there’s a whole bunch of businesses around here,” he told the Columbus Dispatch.

As an Arab Christian who supports Israel, he described himself as “the minor, minor, minor of the minority. So nobody likes me.”

Somalia is probably the worst place and lowest culture on earth - violent, backward, inbred, illiterate.

Hence its the destructive Left’s preferred source for refugees and immigrants with which to promote their damaging and chaotic agenda to American and its traditional culture.

GWB probably deserves being in the top 10 worst Presidents.

Considering how he blew the 9-11 opportunity that was given to him, he might even deserve top 5!

My vote is Top 5. But then I had no use for him starting in 1994 when he sided with illegal aliens against Californians in the Prop 187 fight.

The day after 9-11, China closed their door to Muslims entering China. Dubya kept ours wide open and spouted his “Islam is a Religion of Peace” idiocy.
