Mpls. Somali community reacts to terrorist reports (Update)

The Somali community in the Metro has become fearful after reports that one of their own was a suicidal bomber.

Federal sources say Shirwa Ahmed blew himself up in a suicide bombing in northern Somali last month. They also believe he was a recruiter in the Twin Cities for a terrorist network.

Government sources believe that as many as 40 young men who knew Ahmed, recently left Minnesota without telling their families.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS talked to Ahmed's family. They said they have not heard from him in weeks.

The report was the talk of this busy Somali market on Wednesday.

In south Minneapolis, many in the Somali community have been fearful to go on camera to talk about the reports. Off camera, people told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS they were concerned about how the community as a whole will be perceived after the incident.

"The bottom line is there are people who are recruiting here, kids who are being brainwashed to go back there and blow themselves up," explained Omar Jamal with the Somali Justice Advocacy Center.

Sources believe there is a strong network of recruiters working the Twin Cities, trying to convince young Somalis to surrender themselves for the cause of terrorism.

CIA Director Michael Hayden acknowledges a growing tie between Al Qaeda and Somali terrorist groups. Federal investigators believe these missing men are training for terrorist attacks overseas, but can't be sure they won't return the Twin Cities someday to carry out an attack.

When an American Community welcomes Somali immigrants & WAHBIST indoctrinators [to WARP the children of those immigrants], chaos will follow.

The Indian religion of peace terr attack:
http://news.google.com/news?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GPTB_enUS296US296&q=mumbai%20video&um=1&sa=N&tab=wn

at 2:20 on this video it says that the Chief of Anti-Terrorism was killed in the attack.

Other reports say the terrorists were light skinned. Expect the obambinator to harp on that, but not on the religion of these scumbags. Oh well, diversity is good - right?

“Little Mogadishu in Minnesota” BUMP

My brother (from Oklahoma) that did his graduate degree at U. Minn.
said that on his last trip to Minneapolis about two years ago:

“That place is now lousy with ‘Skinnies’ (Somalis), not fat dairy-fed
white people!!!”

Yes, my brother exaggerates for effect. But if the Somalis occassionally
make it onto national TV for their hijinks, there must be plenty of them.

"A Western nation stupid enough to invite in thousands of Somali “refugees” is too stupid to last much longer."

You're so right!!

They had to be taught how door handles and commodes work.

We can thank the black caucus for bringing these Somalis here.

My guess is the “recruiters” are bankrolled and directed by Wahhabist mosques.

Probably bankrolled in part by United Way also.

Let's see...back in 02, IIRC, the FBI put out an alert about Sammi’s getting their CDL for Hazmat from a school in St.Louis. The kicker was that none of them resided in St.Louis, yet they all got their CDLs. Think about how devastating it would be if they all get a tanker truck, ala the Khobi bombing of our serviceman's barracks all throughout the US.

Now, for those who couldn't pass the show-up-&graduate CDL course in St.Louis, they became cabbies. Pull up to any populated area, profess their allegiance to islam and detonate.

The enemy is among us.

I hope they’re afraid, very afraid. I haven’t heard one responsible person from the “Religion of Peace’’ come out and condem this horror. Not one. Not that it would matter, they’ll be in the mosques all across this nation tomorrow cheering their great victory in the name of Allah.

When you hit 1 billion followers, it is a religion, even if the founder was a murdering lunatic.

It's a disease. Like Cancer.

Tell me...what do you do to a Cancer?

You destroy it, completely. It cannot be allowed to continue and to metastasize.

These guys didn’t have enough patience to wait for Franken to win the recount? They wouldn’t have had to leave. THey could’ve invited more in.
