For years, we’ve been fed the canard that American Muslims are different from their fellow co-religionists who flew the planes into buildings and murdered 3,000 Americans. We were told that American Muslims are “moderate,” that these Hezbollah/HAMAS-supporting U.S. citizens and residents were different because they are “educated,” “have better economic opportunities,” blah, blah, blah.
Those of us in the know always knew and have been saying for years that this is utter BS. And the latest “achievement” of our moderate fellow Americans from the “Religion of Peace” is that 20 of them have been indicted for Al-Qaeda activity.

Al-Shabaab Al-Qaeda Terrorists: They’re Here

As readers know, I’ve written a ton about Minneapolis- and Seattle-area Muslims of Somalian descent, their involvement in violence against Americans and terrorism back in Somalia. Most notable is the case I’ve repeatedly written about–that of Shirwa Ahmed (more here), who left Minneapolis to become a homicide bomber terrorist. But there are also cases of kidnapping, forced prostitution, gang rape and shootings, and Americans are the victims of those crimes.

A federal grand jury has indicted a group of Somali-Americans on terror-related charges after more than 20 young men from the Minneapolis area were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia, according to two law enforcement sources.
The indictments have yet to be unsealed, but an announcement is expected in the next few weeks. . . . The grand jury already has handed up indictments against at least three people.
Among those charged is a man from Minneapolis who went to war-torn Somalia and then, about four months ago, relocated to Seattle, according to the two sources and a leader in the Minneapolis Somali community. The man was then arrested in a Seattle airport and transferred to a jail in Minneapolis, where he is currently being detained, according to the law enforcement sources.
The law enforcement sources said the man, described as in his 20s, has been charged with providing material support to a terrorist group, in this case al-Shabaab, which has been warring with the moderate Somali government since 2006.
Omar Jamal, the executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in St. Paul, Minn., identified the man as 21-year-old Abdifatah Ise. . . .
For much of the past year the FBI has been looking into how dozens of young, Somali-American men were recruited to train and possibly fight alongside al-Shabaab in anarchy-stricken Somalia. The investigation has centered around Minneapolis, where a grand jury has been hearing testimony from witnesses for several months, but the investigation has also been active in Seattle; Columbus, Ohio; Cincinnati; Boston; and San Diego. . . .
“Several” recruits had returned to the United States, but counterterrorism officials have repeatedly said there is no intelligence indicating that any such recruits are planning attacks within the country

Terrific. They know these murderous terrorists are here, but it’s A-OK because “there’s no indication they’d attack Americans.” Incredible. They could have said the same thing about Mohammed Atta ten years ago. And don’t forget that these Somalian Muslims have already been involved in multiple cases of rape, kidnapping, and forced prostitution, as well as killings on our soil, against Americans.
And, of course, The Lesbionic Woman takes this same absurd view.
“[Their] primary focus obviously is not on the homeland, it’s abroad,” Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said during a briefing with reporters last week.
And she knows this because . . . ? I repeat, these Somalian Muslims have already been involved in multiple cases of rape, kidnapping, and forced prostitution, as well as shootings on our soil, against Americans.

According to Osman Ahmed, whose 17-year-old nephew was one of those to go to Somalia late last year, at least a dozen people have testified before the Minneapolis grand jury in the past few weeks alone, including officials from the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center in St. Paul.
One law enforcement source said that shows “major progress” in the investigation, since the Abubakar mosque has been a focal point for investigators from the beginning.
Many of the men recruited to join al-Shabaab attended the Abubakar mosque, and several mosque officials, including director Farhan Hurre, could face indictment, one source said.

Ah, the same mosque that faux-moderate Muslim Dr. Mohammed Zuhdi Jasser, star of “The Third Jihad,” claimed is not responsible for a gazillion boys being recruited for terrorism there, and shouldn’t be blamed. The imam of the mosque is on the no fly list “just ‘cuz”?
Bill Warner has more on the indicted American Muslims, including names, pictures, and details.
Like I said, more “peaceful,” “moderate” activity from American Muslims. Ah, the “Religion of Peace.”
