Somali Terror in America
FrontPage Magazine ^ | Jan 6 2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 01/05/2026 9:22:26 PM PST by texas booster

At Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon, tens of thousands of people crowded around a massive Douglas fir tree decked with lights. Waiting for the carnage to begin was Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a Somali ‘child’ refugee, who was dreaming of killing them all.

In 2010, Mohamud had urged a friend of his traveling to Mecca to pray “that I will be a martyr in the highest chambers of paradise.” He planned to attack Americans “in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays.” And Christmas was the perfect time of the year to do it.

While fathers lifted up their children on their shoulders and music filled the air, Mohamud was smiling for a different reason.“You know what I like, what makes me happy?” he had told undercover agents. As American families were enjoying the moment, the Somali Muslim was picturing their bodies ripped to shreds by his bomb.“You know, what I like to see? Is when I see the enemy of Allah, then you know their bodies are torn everywhere.”

Choosing a spot next to a light rail terminal, Mohamud waited for a train to arrive in order to inflict the maximum number of casualties on the families arriving at the ceremony. But instead of murdering thousands of people at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, he was arrested and dragged away while screaming, “Allahu Akbar.”

Somalis were disproportionately represented among the ranks of Islamic terrorists. The Battle of Mogadishu, in which Somali militias backed and trained by A.Q. terrorists, killed American soldiers and dragged their bodies through the streets, was one of the beginnings of the War on Terror. Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, Al Qaeda’s Somalia boss, and the FBI’s third most wanted terrorist, had played a role in Al Qaeda’s 1988 bombings of American embassies in Africa.

There were at least four Somalis in Gitmo and numerous Somali terror plots in America. The Gitmo inmates included Guled Hassan Duran, a member of Al Qaeda, freed by Biden, whose official assessment stated that he had “personally surveyed Camp Lemonier”, a U.S. base in Africa, “for a potential truck bomb attack”, and had “participated in the planning of bombings” and “kidnapping Westerners in Somalia.”

Despite these efforts, the stream of Somali ‘refugees’ and their children leaving the United States to join Somalia’s Al Qaeda continued and was later estimated at over 40. Liban Haji Mohamed, who drove a cab in Virginia, left to join Al-Shabaab in 2012 and tried to recruit other Somalis in America to join him, became the FBI’s third most wanted terrorist.

Mohamed Hassan, a Somali Muslim in Minnesota, who left for Somalia to join Al-Shabab and became a recruiter for the group, had called for the attack on the Mohammed cartoon in Garland, Texas in 2015, which became the first official ISIS attack on America.

In 2002, Nuradin Abdi, a Somali refugee, who had moved to Columbus, Ohio, and tried to raise money for a Somali Islamist warlord, began plotting to shoot up and then bomb a mall. After efforts to claim insanity, he was tried and was later deported back to Somalia.

In 2013, four Somali immigrants, including an imam at a popular San Diego, California mosque, and the former president of the Somali Community of San Diego, were convicted of raising money for a Somali Al Qaeda affiliate. The Al-Ansar Mosque, which had formerly been the center of a Somali pyramid scheme fraud, was a converted church and is still operating. Somalis in San Diego rallied to support their imam and the accused terrorist funders.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam and leftism.

President Trump was right to try and put a stop to Somali mass migration to America. 15 years of Somali terror has made the case over and over again that immigration from Somalia must end.

I read FR, and knew of many of these attacks. I had no idea that so many Somalis were represented in these attacks.

They don't think the way we do.

In their world they are not terrorists, just good Muslims doing their duty as commanded in the Holy Quran.

Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.

These true translations need to be required reading in high school and college.

Every Bible thumping Christian needs to read it to understand the Muslim world.

IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16955

Islam is NOT assimilation. It has to go.

Saw a "headscarf" lady security guard at my bank today. A bank that charges interest (not Islamic hey?). Made my blood boil. She doesn't belong here.

Notice that Dan’s indignation focuses on Somalians as a race when it ought to pierce to the core of their wickedness, which is Islam, the Quran, and Allah - therein lies the root of pure evil that turns all Islamists into kuffar killers.

Just imagine if Christians started doing these same things in every moslem crap hole across the globe.

We shouldn’t allow these assholes into Our country, and Our People shouldn’t have to live like this.

"I will be a martyr in the highest chambers of paradise"

Chambers of paradise? Sounds like they have a housing problem.

Sunni Somalians conducting economic jihad. It’s a facet of war.

“Jehad is a continuous and never-ending struggle waged on all fronts including political, ECONOMIC, social, psychological, domestic, moral and spiritual to attain the objectives of policy.”

For the good of the America, is killing Oregonians who have resigned from the Republic a bad thing?
