How Minneapolis' Somali community became the terrorist recruitment capital of the US...
FoxNews ^ | 2/16/2019 | Hollie McKay

Josh Lipowsky, Senior Research Analyst at the Counter Extremism Project concurred the immigrant community in Minnesota has proven to be ripe for targeting in recent years by 'specifically playing into the Card' of being something of an outsider.....population in the United States estimates of up to 100,000 the 'insular' ethnic community in Minnesota offers a rich recruiting ground.

...And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS.... it's no longer just the men. Early last year, a female was apprehended by authorities on charges of supporting providing material support to Al Qaeda and arson

Jeanine Brudenell, who formerly served as the Somali liaison for the Minn. Police Depart. stated much of the extremism that has sparked in recent years stemmed from the crackdown to dismantle local street gangs....“In trying to lead youth away from joining gangs, many parents were taking their children to the mosques that opened the way for radicalization'.

In one case, Zakaria Maruf, was known for some time as a member of the local 'Somali Hot Boyz Gang'. Yet he is reported to have become deeply religious after abandoning the street life, and around 2008 is alleged to have fled abroad. He was killed in Somalia the following year.

“Our focus now is on home-grown violent extremists, and the Somali population is a factor in that,” added the federal official, highlighting a 2016 incident in which a Somali-American embarked on a mass stabbing spree at the St. Cloud mall in Minnesota, before being fatally shot by an off-duty police officer. “That is a more likely scenario at this point than a large class of kids trying to get to a foreign terrorist organization in the theater of war.”

I walked through a Somali neighborhood in Minneapolis years ago, and it was very creepy; you didn’t feel unsafe (not many people around), but you felt you were in a different country. Didn’t seem to leave their areas; I barely saw any in the rest of the city. Granted, this was years ago.

Any American Quisling traitors involved in mass-importing feral inbred barbarian savages into the USA should be remembered and dealt with in the future.

......”The hijab is a symbol of patriarchal oppression, even if you say it isn’t.”....

The point I was speaking to is how the The headscarf is such an issue for them is in every country they are attempting to Islamicize the scarf represents 'to the Islamist' power over the enemies of Islam and their superiority over others...........which is why Rep.Omar switched from wearing the traditional Somali headpiece before she was elected to wearing the head-scarf when she entered the halls of Washington.....and why she insisted the ban on the scarf was removed before she was seated....she got her Islamic victory and therefore is emboldened to speak and do as we now are seeing.it is the 'distinguishing feature' between herself and the 'inferior' non-muslims she is among in Washington.

Let me add...also that they use our very laws of freedom and human rights to support THEIR values not ours. In fact human rights groups are the'vehicle' being used to survive until their numbers are great enough to influence and direct our society toward their Islamic system....all by using Western democracy

So for them freedom is just a tool used to kill our freedom later on.

That number represents to the Islamic community an opportunity to draw closer knit which means adding mosques and Islamic teachings to their surrounding communities to ‘recruit’ and ‘Convert’ Americans...silent Jihad.

Any American who does not understand the mechanisms/operations and mission of Islamic muslims to convert and Islamitize this nation are easy targets to draw into their circles...

Whenever I read anything about Minnesota, I can’t help but think of Michele Bachmann. Perhaps one of the best things to ever come of Minnesota. I only wish she could have replaced franken. It was a big loss to lose Bachmann from Congress.

I live not far from Dearbornistan, Mich. I can relate to the no go zones.

Unfortunately, the voices that are the loudest and the most truthful, such as Dennis Michael Lynch, get silenced due to political correctness. It seems those in D.C., Hollywood, and silicone Valley are the worst offenders of free speech when it comes to exposure.

Look at what they’ve done to DML: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P7d7wuuZjo

They’re not in search of The American Dream, they are in pursuit to destroy the American Dream! They have no desire to assimilate.

We need to support those that expose the truth: http://dennismichaellynch.com/category/films/

So true! This goes back to Ishmael and Isaac. The muslims chose the son of the handmaiden over the Son of inheritance.

keith ellis opened that door, and despite the charges made against him, the people of Minnesota ignored the obvious and said, give us Barabbas, and promoted him to Minnesota’s AG. God help us!! sharia and no-go zones can’t be far off. I recall reading an article about Seattle’s mayor promoting sharia compliant financing.
