Somali-Americans arrested in overseas jihad plots

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 26, 2009 02:58 PM

Rusty at the Jawa Report has been tracking the arrests of Somali-Americans charged with weapons smuggling in the jihadi haven of Somaliland. The latest: “Somaliland authorities arrested 11 Somali-Americans in connection to the smuggling of anti-aircraft weapons. The 11 Somali-Americans were trained by al Shabaab, aka the African taliban, and according to authorities were suppose to carry out atttacks in the capital of Somaliland.”

Wonder how many of them came from refugee communities in Minnesota?

    Another question, how many of the same terrorist breed are still here???

    There is no reason to think they couldn’t smuggle anti-aircraft weapons into the USA.

    Not holding my breath for anything good though.

    Or from Club Gitmo — in one fashion or another? Trained by former “guests,” etc.?

    How is this helping Michelle Obama’s children?

    What Muslim jihad? There’s no stinking jihad…just ask Reid or better yet- ask Murtha.

    Awwww…..come on….they are just misunderstood.

    Have you ever seen the flies and mosquitoes in Somalia? I think surface to air missiles, or at least a CIWS is in order.

    What racist sons (and daughters) of mangy female curs we are to accuse these innocent simple somali-americans of a crime…

    or not. My ship has a yardarm. Sounds like good marlinspike seamanship practice material (the somalis.)

    It’s hell trying to get a Somali Court to approve a wire tap. I guess The One may be stymied here.

    They are misunderstood yutes who were messed up by the American culture. Too much freedom, too much personal responsibility, too much opportunity to change their lives and live better off than anyone in Somaliland. IT’s all America’s fault…..

    Wait until we have waves of refugees from Iraq emigrating to the U.S. after we “redeploy” out of there. We don’t even have the spine to enforce our own laws or secure our borders so it’s open season. The last amnesty in 1986 made citizens of some of the people who blew up the WTC in 1993. There is no homeland security without border security. McCain and the Democrats want to do the opposite of what we should do: secure the border, restore respect for the law with actual enforcement. Instead we will get an amnesty only the illegal aliens and the corrupt corporations who hire them want. The borders will remain wide open so more workers can be imported for the jobs that can’t be exported. Cheap labor (GOP) and cheap votes (Dems) take precedence over security. We are playing into the hands of the jihadis. We may just be the paper tiger Osama thinks we are.

    Let’s ask Keith Ellison. I’m sure his support of Muslim schools helped.

    This is too much. Between their adventures in Canada, Europe, and the US, how much longer can we continue to treat this muslim problem like simple street gangs? World governments are laying down.

    Thanks for the link. It’s not enough to have thousands of people letting themselves in everyday, the government has to also import them.

    Any arguments about population control are pointless with the doors wide open.

    It is exactly correct answer to the problem. This is how the west was won. Those who see the settling of the western US as a nice easy cavalry operation have not done their historical research.

    O bambi is taking away our ability to fight the bad guy. I unfortunately have to listen to CNN so wolf is going on about how great he is doing. I wish I was serviced as well as him.

    As of right now, it appears that Obama hasn’t got a war strategy or policy. None. Zip.

    Without a national objective in this fight, if I were the commanding general in theater, I would stand down my troops, and resign in protest.

    Obama’s bumbling staff, who won’t even identify their credentials in a press conference, stumble and stutter when asked what we call the war.

    Happy, now, democrats?

    Just wait until we have to pay the piper. Read Paul C. Gardner’s explosive new action thriller “2014.” It’s guaranteed to enrage radical Muslims, members of La Raza, and advocates of open borders. America’s lax immigration policies spawn terrorism, lawlessness, and anarchy threatening its very existence.

    Why can’t BO and the rest of the democrats and the lukewarm gop understand that the goal of the Muslims is for the eradication of Israel and the West. I am part native-american living on a Indian Reservation and I know more about this then BO and all of his co-horts. I know and know every well that there is nothing peaceful about Islam.

    a.k.a. to Dance the Hemp Fandango.

    And forget B.O. – he’s shown where his sympathies lie. his first television interview as President of the United States was with the Arabic cable TV network Al-Arabiya.

    Anyone here wonder why the entire Muslim world didn’t go absolutely stark raving bat-poop when we elected an Apostate to Islam?

    They should be cutting his head off – by their own rules. (من بدل دينه فاقتلوه)

    the religion of peace and harmony strikes again. doesn’t anyone in this government see that for the last 400 years, this is how radical muslims (all muslims) export their religion. they invade peacefully with persecution complaints and illegal immigration, land in certain liberal (tolerant to the point of stupid, minnesota/new jersey) set up mosques and madrassas, complain continually of religious bigotry, all the while preaching destruction of anything except islamic extremist sharia law. everywhere is under assault, from the phillipines and china to russia, france, england and the u.s. meanwhile back at the government ranch, they are worried about the kkk and a bunch of white seperatists in idaho. what’s the number of killings by the kkk over the last 10 years, maybe 2. what’s the number of white on black murders, excluding our police of course, maybe 5. what’s the number of muslims killing americans over the last 10 years not in combat, maybe 4000. i think someone needs to quit politicizing and start prioritizing.
