FBI raids African money transfer shops in Minnesota
In Minneapolis — hotbed of al Qaeda recruiters targeting Somalian male refugees — the FBI raided several African money transfer shops today.
The names of the shops: Mustaqbal Express, also known as North American Money Transfer Inc.; Quran Express; and Aaran Financial.
Waiting for outraged accusations of Muslim profiling from CAIR et al. in 3, 2, 1…

I’ll bet they’re doing the same shenanigans up in my area. Lewiston Maine is Somali central.
You mean those e-mails from those people in Africa were true? Should have given them my bank account number.
Hijacking our boats; hijacking our money. Potato, potahto…let’s call the whole thing off!
Seems to be a LOT of Somalia in the news today. Wonder why that is?
C’mon folks, unicorns and rainbows remember?
Ask them to unclench their fists.
It’s all good.

Good lord, even in Maine?
Time to end all immigration from anywhere else in the world. 300 million plus the 20 million we’re going to legalize this year (and their families which will of course come over the border), with the economy struggling as it is, is enough people.
We can’t take care of the entire damn world. No matter how much the left wants us to.
Just keep following the money … stopping the flow of cash to terrorist organizations is a positive step … even more importantly money that is coming from the USA …
Actually, make that 306 million… and counting…
Nothing to see here, move along folks. Hey let’s prosecute Bush!
When ‘Bambi hears of this, boy are they in trouble….the FBI that is.
Those sweet teenage darlings running around all over Somalia couldn’t possibly be guilty of anything. ‘Bambi will see that no charges are filed (if they ever return), and could be pre-qualified for a new scholarship to any university of their choice known as the “Bambi I Won Jihadi Recognition” award.
The ones left here to launder money and recruit said teenage darlings could be pre-qualified for a weekend retreat in the Lincoln bedroom….
happyscrapper: did you know about this? Did you think we wouldn’t find out? LOL!
Oh my, cair will be in full mode now. These sweet people can not be involved with the rop, now can they?

Hey, aren’t these Somalis the same ones who were stuffing ballot boxes, “fixing” the election for Franken?
Ahh, yes, my friend. They get to live here for free, don’t have to work at all, get free medical, dental, prescription drugs, food, and brand new Toyota vans paid for by the taxpayers. It’s a sore spot with people like me.
Nothing pisses me off more than to be in the Rx line at Walmart and see these people get free prescriptions while the elderly person in line behind them has to pay $400 for a bottle of pills.
Send em back to Africa, I say.
Most gen-Xer’s don’t know that Somalia is in Africa.
This is my home town, I am not surprised.
I know this is off the subject, but Michelle really has to remove that God-awful photo of Helen Thomas in the sidebar. I’d rather see a ghoul staring at me through my front window than to see her ugly mug.
(Is she smiling in that photo, or constipated, or what?)
I’ll ROGER that, ErinF.
What amazes me is that these raids were actually allowed in the current administration. We will see what we will see but maybe this offers at least a glimmer of hope … though somehow I doubt it. Swatting at a mosquito when someone is shooting at you … well even if you get the mosquito, you still have bigger worries. While I would like to be impressed by this, I am more given to believe that it is roughly akin to BJ Clinton lobbing a couple of cruise missiles right before any conversation of Monica rose up to the public scrutiny.
lol…I don’t know about the front window, but yeah, that pic {shiver} is too creepy to look at!
The pirates’ guns didn’t come from CA, but maybe they were bought with money from good ole MN. Don’t blame Muslims, this is clearly the work of the Lizard People!
Minneapolis…hmmm…where the Colman vs. Frankenstein fiasco has been going on…go figure.
When we welcomed the somalian refugees into our country and into the Minnapolis area, it was because they were being persecuted in their country and were in grave danger. This is how we are repaid. We need to STOP helping these people! They are muslims and they hate us. I am very serious. There is no moderate muslim…never has been, never will be. They spit on us. They recruit terrorists, they complain when someone wants to enter their taxicab with a bottle of booze or a dog. They sue us if we insist, for safety sake, that they can’t wear burkas in a chicken factory that is full of dangerous machinery. They are troublemakers and downright deadly. I used to actually support the immigration of those “poor, unfortunate refugees”. I have done a complete 180 on that. They need to stay in their own rotten countries and deal with the consequences of their own rotten governments. America has become the trash heap for all the corrupt countries in the world. We are patsies…duped by our stupidity in thinking these creatures can change.
Ha! I just read your post! Yeah, this is happening in my own backyard. Makes me sick!! Read my post #22. I too just found out. If I hear any details, you will be the first to know! But I have a feeling MM will find out before me.
Time for equal opportunity ranting on this one. The crimes that have been done and are being done to America in the name of immigration and diversity are the fault of both Democrats and Republicans.

Well, that is after all, why the American Revolution was fought. Or something.
arrrghhh….
CAIR responds in 3… 2…. 1
haven’t heard anything yet from that master of idiotic discourse, janet napolitano. she hasn’t yet condemned the FBI, she must still be in the closet without a map, unable to find the door.

Be prepared for people on these threads to blame us. We, the ones, who warned this state about all this.
Bring.it.on…! I assume it is the libtards who would blame us. The conservatives know we are on their side and would solve this problem if we could!! I grew up in Richfield in the 50’s when it was juse like “Leave it to Beaver”, and now it is “little somalia”. I am heartsick by this theft of our culture and our values. We must take our country back. I believe it will happen, but it won’t be pretty.

I came to MN in 79… brought my south Philly sensibilities with me. Not to worry, I am active in Eagan politics and will stand on the wall even at my age of 58….. please libtards…. piss me off…. please. Sad part is, who will ultimately listen here… I do wonder at times.
Someone please remind me why we allowed SOOOOO MANY Somalis to immigrate to the USA? I lived in Columbus, Ohio for many years and parts of Columbus now looks like Mogadishu. So much for the melting pot.
MNUSMCDAVID & Happyscrapper: execpt for my time in the military been here my whole life. Not willing to turn it over to the libtards or anyone else yet. My sons and I will be on the wall with you
Time to publicly flog those evil Luthern Hockey moms. Wait, what do you mean they’re Somalian Muslims involved in this enterprise?
Bailout in 5,4,3…
Best Wishes and condolences to Happyscrapper, MNUSMC David and the remaining conservative MN residents.
Well, I can only tell you why Maine took them in. It was two fold: (a) Lewiston Maine needed more diversity in terms of color and culture; and (b) somali refugees needed a home during the Clinton years.
Lewiston’s mayor thought himself to be quite the great humanitarian and pioneer by taking in these people who loiter the city streets all day and night, working the welfare system down to a science.
Thousands of them are here, but not a single one works. What do you think they do all day? I’m guessing: plotting nasty things.

Gosh, I hope that saying aint racist tooo.
The USA is crowded enough and we need to end all immigration. Do you want the nation to look like China or India and be as crowded? Let these folks stay home and improve their own homelands since their cultures is so superior anyway.
We’re up to our eyeballs in Muslims, including the White House.
It is a cult, a religion of death, and America voted for it.
No sense in sugar-coating it. We’ve been invaded.
Voters.
Thanks! Just remember, as long as we are here, Minnesota hasn’t gone entirely over to the dark side. And we won’t let it!
Wingleader…where in MN do you live? David is in Eagan and I am in Bloomington.
DianeK…are you the one who lives in Roseville?
How nice…muslims get bent when their sacred symbols are “blasphemed.” Here, we have some money changin’ going on all in the name of God (or, as parodists, these mo-rons ran out of ink a long time ago).
Geez, Jesus only *threw* the moneychangers out of the temple…will some muslims behead any haram bankers?
*out*
What did the CFR members at State think was going to happen with all these ROP members coming to America? Oh that’s right, they knew what was going to happen.
This will get worse, and cair, Hizboallh, the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas, and all the other ROP’ers will see to it.
ROPMA!
But they don’t seem to have a problem with currency printed with “In God We Trust”.
Because Chinese and Indian PhDs don’t vote Dem?
These raids on money transfer shops filled with peace-loving scholars must stop! Holder must have their badges!
I just got off an eight hour day of work and then four hours (plus the commute) of teaching other engineers and then I come home and see her face. I’m thinking the same as you–

I’m sure the shops are in the “Honorable” Keith Ellison’s district…yup.
Keith reps the 5th District. The shop noted in the STrib article is at 24th St E and Chicago Ave S. Right in the middle of ol’ Qur’an Keith’s constituency.
Not that there’s any fault on Keith’s part, but it’s fun to mess with him.
I say keep that photo front and center – keeps the fear up.
They have to unclench their fists . . . to take the fistfuls of ransom money.
For those of us plus-sized folks, that photo performs the equivalent of bariatric surgery.
The difference between Mogadishu & here is that over “there’, the civilians were better armed…
Now where’s my RPG?
and the same idiots who invite with open arms the snake into the nest are now inviting gitmo terrorists into the u.s. because if they send them back to their homelands they might be killed by the govmint there. yes, they are terrorists, and no one knows that better than the people who live around them. so of course they want to kill them, and we superior compassionate caring americans have to invite them in so they can kill us. gee binghampton ny ought to have an opinion on refugees about now.
Wingleader…where in MN do you live? David is in Eagan and I am in Bloomington.
Hi – delurking to say I live in the Apple Valley / Twin Cities metro. I really want to address, confront and make change happen on this issue. Is there a local metro resource already in place for this? Do we need to start building this ourselves, like the Tea Party movement?
I’m very serious in wanting to protect our citizens. I also plan to be at the Capitol for the tea party on the 15th!
