As we focus on Syrians, let’s not forget the Somalis!
Ho hum! We have been following the ‘careers’ of the Somali “youths,” here referred to as “children,” since 2008 (see early posts byclicking here) when we first learned about Somali refugees thumbing their noses at the good life we gave them in America and choosing a future instead of violent jihad.
And, it is unbelievable to me that those promoting bringing in 65,000-100,000 mostly Muslim Syrians think that somehow this will not continue to happen.
Here is the news on one of the latest cases, from the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
One of the “children” who plead guilty.
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota man admitted Thursday that he planned to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group, saying he believed joining the violent terrorist organization would help his fellow Muslims.
Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, 20, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group. He admitted that he and eight other men met 10 to 15 times in local mosques, parks and restaurants to talk about routes to Syria and how to finance their trip.
He faces up to 15 years in prison at sentencing, which hasn’t been scheduled.
Abdurahman is the third Minnesota man to plead guilty in connection with planning travel to Syria. Five others face a February trial.
Authorities have described the men from Minnesota’s Somali community as friends who recruited and inspired each other. Prosecutors say the men were advised from overseas by Abdi Nur, another Minnesota man who went to Syria in May 2014.

He also said he watched English-language jihadist videos on YouTube, Twitter and other social media outlets, andwanted to join the Islamic State group even though he knew it carried out beheadings and burned prisoners.
Just children!
Ayan Abdurahman said after her son’s hearing that she was “very sad” and that he and others like him are just children.
“He’s very young,” she said, speaking in broken English. “… I asking the American government they have to treat these as children. They make mistake.”
How many of you agree with me? Just let the “youths” leave the country, take away their passports, and don’t let them come back. Under the present system, we taxpayers get hosed again! We will pay for this man’s prison term! Lucky us!
Are we ever going to stop bringing in Somali ‘refugees’?
We have been focusing on the question of how many Syrian Muslim refugees will be admitted to the US going forward, but always remember we have admitted Somali ‘refugees’ for three decades and there is no end in sight (this is even though theUN is now sending Somalis back to a more stable Somalia from its camps in Kenya).
