How nice of Judge Mohammed. Dahir Ibrahim, West Midlands Police. Nothing to see here. Just one of those misunderstandings that seem to happen with people from a society and a belief system that says raping women is okay as long as they’re not Muslims and not wearing hijabs or burkas. Meet Dahir Ibrahim: the UK’s most prominent Somali Muslim figure. A convicted Somalian rapist who managed to overturn a deportation order went on to rape two more women in Birmingham, with his lawyer arguing ‘he had a lack of understanding of what is acceptable in the UK. This made for...

The children of bloodthirsty Somali dictator Siad Barre, whose rule left as many as 200,000 people dead, are quietly living in the US — alongside victims of his regime. The Post located the despot’s “right-hand man” son Ayanle and daughter Deka Mohamed Siad, in Columbus, Ohio, where they lead unassuming suburban lives. However, among the wider Somali community, their presence is a painful reminder of the regime and some are calling for US authorities to investigate. “Siad Barre and his men committed so many war crimes so I was shocked to see his son [Ayanle] in the mosque enjoying his...

Police and federal officials said Sunday that the man suspected of stabbing a police officer and plowing a van into pedestrians on Saturday night is a 30-year-old refugee from Somalia, who had been interviewed by the RCMP in 2015. Police and politicians urged Canadians to be vigilant, but called for calm and unity in the wake of a terrorist attack in Edmonton that injured five and led to the arrest of a 30-year-suspect who had previously been investigated for espousing extremist views. It is the second major terrorist attack in Canada this year, following January’s shooting at a mosque in...

A man has been seriously injured in a stabbing in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where footage from the scene appeared to show an attempted beheading. The suspect was arrested after bystanders intervened.

I'm starting to think diversity is not, indeed, our strength. Surprisingly, the Police Service of Northern Ireland was quick to admit that the suspect is Somali. Normally, the police and media would report the suspect as a "Belfast man" in a situation like this! The victim not only had his throat cut, but according to reports, had at least one of his eyes gouged out by the Somali man. Here's one witness testimony from the BBC, which also reported that the man is "believed to be Somali": A resident told BBC News NI how she was in her home when...

In harrowing video posted online, an attacker can be seen straddling the bloodied victim’s neck armed with a knife. He stabs the victim in the head repeatedly before taking the knife to the man’s neck, before members of the public rush over to stop the attack. Bystanders can be heard screaming in the clip: "He’s trying to cut his head off". Police said today that a Sudanese man in his 30s had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon, the Northern Ireland Secretary said members of the public who intervened during...

In a race roiled in recent weeks by scandal, Liban Mohamed, the Muslim son of Somali immigrants, pulled off a surprising upset in a crowded 1st Congressional District, winning the endorsement of a majority of Democratic delegates at the party’s state convention Saturday. Mohamed emerged as the top choice in a field with two candidates — state Sen. Nate Blouin and Salt Lake City Council member Eva Lopez Chavez — stung by scandal in the past two weeks and a front-runner, former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams, who some delegates viewed as too conservative. After several rounds of ranked-choice voting, McAdams...

Ibrahima Diop, the finance boss at Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), has been placed on administrative leave, Alpha News has learned. Alpha News has reported extensively on Diop and questionable contracts with Frontier Transportation Services, hired by MPS to transport Homeless and Highly Mobile (HHM) students in passenger vans. Additionally, another transportation company under contract with the district was filmed dropping off children at the now-closed Quality “Learing” Center — a moment many observers believe was staged to make the site appear active. [snip] An article from transportation consultant Rob Carpenter first raised questions about MEISA, noting its apparent connections to...

The video, which rapidly spread across social media platforms, shows an unidentified TikTok user livestreaming while playing a video of Elon Musk on her phone. After speaking in a non-English language, the user switched to English and stated: “I wouldn’t worry too much about him. He about to die.” WATCH: Musk responded directly on X with a terse message that quickly went viral, later pinning it to the top of his account: “Then it is...

Years before Minnesota welfare fraud captured the nation’s attention, a Somali-American leader of one massive scheme expanded his assets beyond the North Star State, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, a Somali-born naturalized U.S. citizen, used some of his ill-gotten gains to buy property throughout the Twin Cities and Kentucky before the DOJ prosecuted him for using the nonprofit Feeding Our Future to defraud the government of $300 million in COVID-19 relief meant for hungry children, leading to a 28-year prison sentence in August. There are at least 1,687 people of Somali descent living in Kentucky....

The Ohio State University suspect was reportedly a Somali refugee student, Pete Williams of NBC reports.

A federal judge in New York has ordered a Lebanese national transferred to Minneapolis to face two counts of making false statements to federal investigators. The U.S. attorney's office in Minneapolis says Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi is charged with lying about his role in sending radio and communications equipment to Pakistan and elsewhere. He's also accused of lying about his role in helping another person illegally obtain a Massachusetts driver's license. That person was later convicted in Jordan in a bombing plot. The charges revealed Friday deal only with accusations of lying — not with the underlying crimes Elzahabi allegedly lied...

Here’s a striking statistic: A third of all Washington, D.C., district judges (known for anti-Trump rulings) are foreign-born. Does this matter?It certainly may if they’re anything like hard-left representative Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.). She said in Spanish at a recent Mexico City summit, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.”Then there’s Representative Deqa Dhalac (D-Maine), who was the first female Somali-born mayor in the U.S. In a resurfaced video clip, she can be heard saying, while wearing her hijab, that she wants to “help our country” (referencing Somalia). She did catch herself and follow the quoted phrase with, “our former...

A 'race-fueled' brawl erupted between black and Somali students at a Minneapolis high school, it is claimed, leading to the arrest of at least two adults accused of joining in. The initial altercation erupted between a group of black and Somali students, it was claimed by CrimeWatchMinneapolis, but the situation escalated when parents, after they became aware of the incident, allegedly joined the fight alongside their children. Latoys' daughter, Sanaiah Milon, claimed she was punched to the floor and kicked by dozens of students earlier on Thursday because of 'a personal beef'. She denied claims the brawl was racially-motivated, although...

Sir David, the MP for Southend West in Essex, was attacked on Friday at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea.

Weeks after the New York Times failed in its motion to dismiss Project Veritas's defamation suit, the NYT was forced to answer the allegations in writing. The answers were recently made public. Though carefully tailored to reveal as little as possible, the answers betray incredible insight as to how the "Newspaper of Record" works behind the scenes, as well as the division of labor in the manufacturing of American political propaganda. In September 2020, Project Veritas ran a story featuring unedited video clips of Mr. Liban Mohamed, a Minneapolis political operative working for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, conducting an illegal ballot-harvesting...

Outspoken Democrats -- from far-left "Squad" members to 2020 presidential hopefuls -- wasted little time Saturday in denouncing President Trump's warning to Iran about possible retaliation for the U.S. airstrike that killed Iran's Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., answered by calling the president a “monster.” “This is a war crime," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "Threatening to target and kill innocent families, women and children -- which is what you’re doing by targeting cultural sites - does not make you a ‘tough guy,’ It does not make you ‘strategic.’ It makes you a monster.” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., accused Trump of...
