MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Somali man arrested in the Netherlands and accused of financing Islamic terrorists was not an extremist and was so poor he couldn't afford to bring his new wife from Somalia to the U.S., according to two of his brothers who live in Minnesota.

Mohamud Said Omar, 43, was arrested Sunday at an asylum seeker's center near Amsterdam and is being held at the request of American authorities.

The arrest is related to the FBI's investigation into the disappearance of up to 20 young Somali men who left the Twin Cities over the last two years for Somalia, presumed to have joined the terror group al-Shabaab. Dutch authorities said the U.S. has asked for Omar's extradition, which could take up to a year if he contests it.

That’s the scary part, they don’t have to be extremists. If they fall into the wrong (or right, depending on how you loow at it) crowd, it is easy to talk them into it. He said that “Muslims love death more than we love life”. How do you fight that? How do you know when someone is willing to take that step, it looks like even their faimilies don’t know. I find no comfort in that.

OK I think I’ve got it. An extremist can’t be extreme when in the company of other extremists. That makes him normal.

Really, it matters WHAT you believe, not HOW MUCH you believe it.

Correct. The filth of Islam, is nothing more than a lie! Support Islam, and you support perverts, predators and murders, wife beaters, child molesters, and we are just talking about Mohammad and his true legacy. Islam is nothing more than a quasi-governmental and military movement masquerading as a religion. For there are only a few types that would espouse or promote such precepts or organizational structure: the ignorant, sneaks, cheats and liars.

He is right.

They are merely faithful servants of mohammedanism.
