Terror Indictments in Minnesota

On Monday, a federal judge in Minneapolis plans to unseal documents charging up to eight people with terror-related offenses connected to the recruitment of young Somali Americans by a terrorist group in Somalia. The FBI says these people helped some two dozen Somali Americans from the Twin Cities join a terrorist group in Somalia called al Shabab. Five Minnesotans who joined the group in Somalia have already died in fighting. The FBI, meanwhile, has arrested and charged six other people with terror-related crimes.

More Islamicist terror charges in the U.S. If this keeps up, we'll have as much trouble with domestic jihadis as Great Britain has had.

Yes, but they still have a ways to go before they catch up to "Christian" terrorists like Scott Roeder, Eric Rudolph, or Timothy McVeigh.

Sorry, that was petty and finger-pointy. I know we agree that rationality should supercede religiosity of any stripe...

What a math genius...3 Christian terrorists...thousands of Muslim jihadists.. Yeah..that sounds like a wash to me. You want to be rational...stop creating half-witted moral equivalents behind a movement murdering hundreds of thousands a year...and one that was dangerous in the Middle Ages.

Georealist,
This is me acknowledging you and refusing to respond in the same tone.

This abstract was concerning "homegrown terrorists" i.e. those who were brought up here and committed acts of terror against this country (like Hassan, as an alleged example). My "math" was related to the total body count of the acts of these terrorists acting on religious principles.

My point is respective of the dander of religiosity of any stripe supercedeing logic and fundamental respect for life.

My point to you would be to promote a respectful exchange of ideas to supercede the petty need to be clever at another's expense.

I keep putting public safety and saving lives ahead of diversity and political correctness.

The comedic stylings of maladapted, ladies and gentlemen...Give it up for him!
You see, when the federal government charges terrorists for their crimes, what actually transpires is that those same terrorists are granted asylum and citizenship. What's up about that?

"...those same terrorists are granted asylum and citizenship." How did you get that out of Terror Indictments? If these Somalis are found guilty then they will go to prison, right?

I think he's suggesting that we intern muslims and declare war on Islam. Plant is actually a recruiter for Al Quaeda, and he thinks this will help his cause.

Did you see the ad for the credit card, where a woman places an order for shoes using her credit card, and the number goes through a foreign pickup in Africa, where the operator writes the card number down on a small piece of paper and gives it to an African child who runs through the winding streets of the village carrying the credit card number on this slip of paper. (This must be how the numbers are stolen, of course, we knew it all along)

The punchline--he is carrying the number to the shoe makers shop who then puts the shoes in a box and the child carries them back to the center where they are shipped and received by the buyer.
Very very clever and thought provoking.

Ho, hum.

Security agencies just exercising their imagination and justifying the continuing breach of the Constitution and their humongous budgets.

This is simply a religion based pogrom by the US government.

This problem is becoming more prominent because of anchor babies, born in this country from illegal aliens. These babies are brought up with their parents countries culture and not American culture. They do not mix with Americans they stay in their own neighborhoods with people of the same culture and beliefs

The muslim who was involved in the Fort Hood shootings I wonder if he is an anchor baby?

"Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative."

Mal-

Right on there bro, we should allow these "African terrorists" to come to America and do what they were meant to do!

Just like the Americans do, day in and day out, invade these sovereign countries, call it a "war on terror" never mind the fact that it is war that is terrorizing ...inject fear into the hearts and minds of the naive, ignorant americans, make them believe that we are justifiable in our reasoning for proxy wars...this technique of usurping words and deploying them like weapons, brilliant to say the least.

See, ignorance doesn't leave room for common sense, because if it did then there would be nothing to discuss.
