The Al-Shabab in Somalia has already achieved notoriety for blocking relief efforts to famine stricken residents because the aid originates in the Christian West.

Today it received more publicity as Representative Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, began his hearings on Muslim radicalization by revealing that more than 40 Americans have been recruited to join the Islamic terror network in Somalia.

“Of those, at least 15 Americans and three Canadians are believed to have been killed fighting with al-Shabab, the Committee has learned. Not Al Qaeda, nor any of its other affiliates, have come close to drawing so many Muslim-Americans and Westerners to jihad.”

“al-Shabab has successfully recruited and radicalized more than 40 Muslim-Americans and 20 Canadians,....”

Am I wrong in viewing this as a plus? If they are out of OUR Country, and over there in that sand oven, possibly getting blown away and going to meet their 72 virgins....is that not a plus for US?!

Bravo, Congressman King, and illegitimi non carborundum.

If elected, I'll drive a stimulus bill through congress, consisting of one-way transportation out of the US for all foreign Muzzies, directly into overseas training camps, followed by combat. And the secret part of this plan will be, we'll be recruiting, training, and buying ammo for opposing "militias".

And supposing they’re sent back to the US to blow something up? Their leaders may be crazy, but they’re not stupid, and that would be how to use an American-raised asset. No accent, no unfamiliarity with traffic lights, or anything else to identify them as being foreign or attract attention?
