Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the United States. What do Minnesota’s Somali citizens think of us? We know amazingly little about the community, probably because we are afraid to ask the relevant questions. We know they are mostly Muslim — we can see the hijabs, we are familiar with the many local controversies ... over the past 35 years — but are they loyal residents or citizens of the United States? In the conflict between the United States and Muslim terrorists, for example, whose side are they on?
Acting United States Attorney Joe Thompson observed at the sentencing of Abdiaziz Farah last week for his food fraud crime spree that Farah treated us as “suckers.” That is certainly true, but it expresses the problem in almost reassuringly familiar terms. I wonder if the problem doesn’t run deeper than that.

They are all young first- or second-generation Somali Minnesotans who freely took advantage of educational and employment opportunities in the Twin Cities. They all appeared to be talented and resourceful young men. They had social lives centered on local mosques. They supplemented their education with Islamic studies. They were all observant Muslims and they were all ungrateful for the good lives and conventional opportunities afforded them in Minnesota. They wanted to live under the caliphate declared by ISIS. They yearned to wage jihad and to die as Islamic martyrs. They hate the United States.

It appears that efforts to discover a “recruiter” who had attracted Somali Minnesotans to ISIS had proved unavailing. Growing up Muslim, receiving religious education and attending local mosques — the Al-Farooq Youth and Family Center in Bloomington was mentioned frequently — the defendants needed little more than the videos supplied by ISIS to recruit them.

Let’s just deport these muzzies back to Somalia then.
War with Islam...not if, but when.
And datz da way ‘tiz.
If you have questions look to england.
Seriously. Best thing for everybody.

Second-generation Muslim immigrants (everywhere) might be more polished than their parents. But many studies have shown that, in general, second-generation Muslims are also more radical.
So buckle up, folks. This ride is just starting.
Farah treated us as “suckers.

Unfortunately, this is becoming common among many people, even native Americans.
Stealing from taxpayers is not consider sinful.
In the good old Soviet Union, that was desirable action. There was even a saying: “If you do not steal from government, you are stealing from your family!”
Unfortunately, that’s the way we are heading!
Mr Johnson, surely that is a rhetorical question.
I feel the same way. Never, ever trust a mussie.
And just how did all these Somalis wind up there in the Frozen North with all those Scandies and German descendants?!
When I think of Minnesota I think of Andersens and Andersons and Nyquists and Lofquists.... not Mohammeds.
When I worked in Saudi one of our drivers was a Somali named Abdi. Great guy. Of course I don’t know how he would have been if the roles were reversed and I was working under him.
Not so long ago, Chris Rock joked, “Ain’t no Black people in Minnesota! The only black people in Minnesota is Prince and Kirby Puckett.”
Indeed Islamic followers want the country with nuclear weapons what could go wrong.
What is happening in England is coming here. It is just a matter of time. And it won\t be very long, at the longest. You can believe it or not. Most don’t. Watch your election results. Each election, more muslims are elected to positions of power. When the muslims reach 10% they start acting. They start chopping heads . They start stabbings. They start blowing things and people up. But the American Public gives not one shit.
My fellow Texans feel the same way. I live in Irving, a city that has two large mosques. Have heard very little from them in the 30 years I’ve lived here. I believe a message has been delivered to them, I,e. Y’all try any of that jihad crap, and your mosque will be nothing but smoking ruins in 24 hours.
“””When I think of Minnesota I think of Andersens and Andersons and Nyquists and Lofquists.... not Mohammeds.”””
That is still largely true. But most of the skinnies don’t live in Minnesota, they live in Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan.
A lot of camel jockeys in Michigan.
Instead of putting the lovely Abdulaziz in jail we need to cherish and support him and encourage others to become “recruiters”. The more young Somalis go to hell-known lands to fight for whatever, the less of them will pollute the beautiful state of Minnesota with their presence.
My son in law worked for the TSA at the Minneapolis St Paul International airport and said it was not uncommon for Somalis to have hundreds of thousands of of dollars in cash in their carry on bags with tickets to Somalia. Apparently it is not illegal to have large amounts of cash in carry on baggage if it is declared.
No good Muslim exists.
