Mr. Khan and Mr. Day said several people who worship at the mosque said the FBI had knocked on their doors late at night on the day of Mr. Mohamuds arrest, but that none agreed to speak to agents.
People were finding cards in the doors that said FBI, Mr. Day said.
The mosque, the largest in Portland, has been the center of controversy before. In 2002, the mosques imam, Sheik Mohamed Abdirahman Kariye, who like Mr. Mohamud is a naturalized American citizen from Somalia, was arrested at Portland International Airport.
Prosecutors subsequently said that trace elements of TNT were found in his luggage, though those tests were later said to be inconclusive and he was not convicted of any crime.
Mr. Kariye did not immediately respond to a request for comment made through Mr. Day, but Mr. Khan reiterated that Mr. Mohamuds action were his own.

Several people who said they knew Mr. Mohamuds family said that they believed his parents had reported their son to law enforcement authorities, citing concerns that his views were becoming extreme. They declined to be quoted by name.
A law enforcement official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss certain aspects of the case, said investigators first became aware of Mohamud because of his alleged efforts to connect with Islamic extremists through email.
Soon after that they received a tip from someone who knows him, alerting them to what the official described as increased radicalization. According to the federal affidavit for his arrest, Mr. Mohamud at one point told undercover agents he had been betrayed by his family.

Second choice: Hang him and then revoke his citizenship.
Either choice is acceptable to me.

Under the new Obamacare you are a child until you are 27
One of the investigators said that it was made clear, repeatedly, that a large number of the people killed would be women and children. Repeatedly. He was all for it.
I don’t begrudge anyone a shot at bettering themselves, but why? why? why? are we putting nomadic islamist’s who are uneducated at the front of the line?
I believe only 4% of Somalians have certified skills.
We have 10% unemployment and we put these folks to the front of the line?
It’s crazy.
SHORT ROPE AND A LONG DROP SOLVES CONFUSION!

Which is why it gets my goat that some claim “entrapment”. He pushed the button, called the number ...

This was a good kid.
He got snagged on a technicality, because he was white.
Still. He was fooling with the wrong crowd and he has to do the time.
They are trying to spend their lives 'honoring' a god who supposedly delights in murder; degradation of women; pathological hatred of Jews; and mayhem...
Now exactly why would anyone worship a 'god' of this nature?
Must be pretty confusing.
Oh noes! a hate crime?
Really? What a shock!
Authorities don't know who started the blaze or why, but they believe the center was targeted because Mohamud occasionally worshipped there.

Now he knows how the so called “right wing milita” people who were set up a while back feel.
Al this was was just the feds evening the scales while endevoring to keep the sheep pacified and distract the focus from the TSA.
Don’t fall for their tactics.
He’s not confused at all - doing exactly what he was taught from the cradle on.
