Families of Somalis missing from Minn. speak out (Update)

Breaking their monthlong silence, relatives of three teenagers said Saturday they fear their loved ones are victims, brainwashed to return to Somalia to fight. The impoverished nation on the Horn of Africa is caught up in an Islamic insurgency and hasn't had a functioning government in 17 years.

"We are not sure who is responsible," said Hussein Samatar, a community leader and uncle to a 17-year-old who traveled to Somalia. "But we, as a community, believe they have to be held accountable."

"We don't know who is behind this, and we are urging authorities to get to the bottom of this," Warsame Hassan said.

I'm certain that this will get top priority now that your man is headed for the White House, Mr. Hassan.....

Mr. Hassan—check your local mosque. I’m sure you will find the recruiters there.

BTW, anyone who hasn’t read Vince Flynn’s “Extreme Measures” should do so. Mosques aren’t just for praying anymore.

Let’s see... we have people of questionable character being recruited to fight and die in a armed conflict abroad. Provided they do in fact die, why should we be discouraging this?

I don’t give a damn what happens to any of these savages.

But we, as a community, believe they have to be held accountable."

Here's a clue Hussein. His name is mohamet. He's the troublmaker.
