In this undated photo released by the family at a news conference in December 2008, Burhan Hassan is seen. Hassan was one of many young Somali men who went missing from Minneapolis last year and according to his family was recruited by radical elements in Somalia. Hassan's family learned on Friday June 5, 2009 that the 17-year-old had been killed under mysterious circumstances and buried in Mogadishu.

'Unusual circumstances'?! He was FIGHTING in Somalia!
“The most recent disappearances happened last November, on Election Day. That’s when 17-year-old Burhan Hassan and six of his friends seemed to vanish. As the rest of the Somali community in the Twin Cities’ Cedar-Riverside neighborhood were watching the election returns, the boys slipped away, boarded a plane and headed to Africa.”
I read a most interesting piece a while back, about the Somali teeners. They came here... didn't fit in... and reverted back to their radical ways... making their Jihad back at home. And Dennis needs all the Jihadis he can get here. How unfair... Somalia gets them all. Dang.

At the time of their departure, Burhan Hassan, the 17-year-old, was a senior at Roosevelt High School; 18-year-old Mohamoud Hassan was studying engineering at the University of Minnesota; and 19-year-old Abdisalam Ali was studying health care at the University of Minnesota
Feisal Hassan, NCC student, feels that brainwashing is being aimed directly at Somali young men in the area. However, this topic disturbs him in other ways.
“It’s making the Muslim community look like we might all have ties to some terrorist groups when we don’t. Each person chooses what they do. Just because someone’s really religious in their faith doesn’t mean they have links to Al Qaida,” Hassan said.
Minneapolis has the largest Somali population in the U.S., which, according to the Somali Advocacy Center in St. Paul, is estimated to be around 60,000.
Speaking for the majority of his fellow Somalis, Hassan expressed thanks to Americans for housing, educational opportunities and jobs. “When the war is over, people say they’re going back to Somalia,” Hassan said.
“I guess we’re all like that,” said Sadia Aden, another NCC Somali student who agreed.
“America’s been nice for us,” Hassan said. “But, in the end, Somalia is our home.”
Of course. Just what we need. jihadis in two branches of government.
You are misinterpreting the post. La Lydia is correct.
Again, no Bible or other document is required to take an oath of office in the United States. The Quaker option is built right into the US Constitution.
On the other hand, this Ellison guy is a FAKE MOSLEM, an APOSTATE, an HYPOCRITE ~ who all other real Moslems are required to kill on sight.
That hasn't happened yet but it's coming ~ the second he has no more political value, but, with him, that's no problem. He'll do whatever for political reasons. If we can take back the People's House he'll be over there groveling to us.
His kind is well known in this world.
These boys were obviously corrupted by living in the land of the Great Satan. They should redeem themselves in the eyes of Allah through martyrdom in Somalia
Who arranged the flight, the money, the food etc.?
Our govt is a complete joke.
“Minnesota - Land that voted for Franken, Ventura and this Creep”

I am convinced, without a doubt, that if Minnesota native singer Prince ran for governor, he would win.
Minnesota should change it’s state motto to “Land of 10,000 schleps.”
And hey! Since his trip to Somalia failed perhaps they can fit him for a nice vest when he gets back. I am sure there are some rich targets someplace around that neck of the woods. How about a Packers game?
Hopefully all four will get to meet the 72 virgins and transport back to Minnesota will not be necessary. (And, also, hopefully, those 72 virgins will be GAY, HORNEY, MALE, VIRGIN CAMELS.)
Unless we plan on hanging them upon their return, let ‘em rot.
I’m sure our SpecOp guys are looking real hard for them...
If this guy will release classified info on one of his own, imagine what he’ll do to Americans that he hates.
On the other hand: If part of that classified info included the part about this jihadist being killed by his fellow terrorists because he tried to escape and didn’t want to play terrorist no more, then Ellison releasing this info just put a price on the heads of the others who don’t want to play jihad any more. So in effect, he has ensured that the guys in question will never make it back to America alive.
Reminds me of sound bites from family of every minority ex-con shot dead in a robbery attempt.
“He was working so hard to turn his life around.”
wait. are we bringing them back to try them? otherwise they can rot.
Once these guys leave the country they should Not be allowed to return. Better yet if they are engaged in attacks on our troops they should be relieve of their misery.That way the American people remain safe.
