Somalis Leaving U.S. for Jihad
PAJAMAS MEDIA via FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE.com ^ | December 12, 2008 | Patrick Poole

Pajamas Media | Friday, December 12, 2008 The funeral for Shirwa Ahmed last week in Burnsville, Minnesota, punctuated a growing national security threat metastasizing inside the U.S. — one Homeland Security and law enforcement authorities have quickly taken note of. Ahmed, who killed himself in a suicide bombing attack in Somalia in October, is just one of up to 40 men from the Twin Cities area who have disappeared and are feared to have returned to their homeland for training with the al-Shabaab terrorist group to wage jihad. The FBI is investigating similar disappearances in other major Somali communities in Columbus, OH, Atlanta, Boston, San Diego, and Seattle. There are even reports coming from Europe, recently from Denmark, of Somali men returning home to fight with al-Shabaab and other terrorist organizations.

ABC News also reports that a Somali from Boston, Tarek Mehenna, a U.S. citizen, was arrested last month on his way to Somalia to wage jihad after being in contact with Daniel Maldonado, a Muslim convert currently in federal prison after pleading guilty to training at a Somali terror training camp after being captured in Kenya with a Somali terrorist cell.

It’s a good thing we went there and died to distribute humanitarian assistance in the early 90’s.

I'm thinking free one-way airfare plus "no fees" for baggage. Heck, throw in free shuttle service from home to airport of choice too......

Oh they will and have.

They need a little greater percentage of them here though.

They go abroad to train for terrorists attacks that are planned for our country.

Mosques in our homeland are a breeding ground for Islamic Muslim terrorism around the world and right here.

After 9/11 BOTH borders should have been secured and every foreign muzzie and incarcerated foreigner deported!

It is only but for the grace of God that we haven't had another muzzie terrorist attack in America since 9/11 and sooner or later we are going to have to give the muzzies the jihad they so desperately want.

What pisses me off is that after they suicide-bomb they are given the privilege of burial back in the US.

That's so wrong.

I propose a federal bailout/bride-loan/handout-thingy! Give each of these Somali jihadi a pre-paid ticket to fly back to their homeland and earn their Darwin Award.

That would be good use of taxpayer dollars.
