Here again we see the high cost of misunderstanding the Religion of Peace and Tolerance. Muslims, including imams as we see here, are falling prey to this tremendous misunderstanding of Islam every day, and getting the crazy idea that its teachings have something to do with warfare. And yet still American Muslim groups have no programs anywhere to prevent young Muslims from misunderstanding Islam in this way. Don’t they care about their youth?
“US jury in San Diego convicts 4 Somali men of terrorist support,” from the
Associated Press, February 22 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
SAN DIEGO — A federal jury in San Diego has convicted four Somali immigrants — including an imam from a local mosque — of conspiring to funnel money to a terrorist group in their home country.
After a three-week trial and three days of deliberations, the jury convicted the four men Friday of conspiring to raise and send money to Somalia’s al-Shabaab…
The U.S. State Department designated al-Shabaab a terrorist group in 2008, and federal prosecutors have since cracked down on the group’s U.S. support with the arrests of some two dozen people, mostly in Minnesota.
Those convicted include 40-year-old Mohamed Mohamud, an imam at a San Diego mosque, along with two taxi drivers and a man who operated a financial business that was used to move the money.
