San Diego: Muslim cab driver gets six years for funding group behind Kenya mall jihad massacre

Better to take the bus. “Immigrant Gets 6 Years for Funding Terrorist Group Al-Shabaab,” by Andie Adams for NBC San Diego, January 31 (thanks to Kenneth):

A U.S. District judge sentenced a Somali immigrant to six years in prison Friday for his part in a San Diego-based plot to support terrorist group al-Shabaab.

Ahmed Nasir Taalil Mohamud, a cab driver from Anaheim, is the last of four people to be sentenced after they were found guilty in February 2013 during a three-week trial.

U.S. attorney Laura Duffy said Nasir, Basaaly Saeed Moalin, Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud and Issa Doreh conspired to give money to al-Shabaab.

The prosecution alleged that Nasir collected funds from donors in Orange County to send to the militia group, which is known for its suicide bombings, civilian assassinations and use of improvised explosive devices, according to Duffy.

The U.S State Department officially listed al-Shabaab as a foreign terrorist organization in 2008.

During Friday’s sentencing, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Miller said while Nasir was the least culpable member of the conspiracy and is a refugee from war-torn Somalia, his offenses were “very serious.”

Nasir’s co-conspirators were sentenced last November. Cab driver Basaaly Saeed Moalin was sentenced to 18 years, Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud – an imam at a local mosque – was sentenced 13 years, and Issa Doreh was sentenced to 10 years for working at a money transmitting business that helped move the illegal funds.

    When we take a cab we should not be financing jihad.

    And he should be DEPORTED after his prison sentence – but he won’t.

    And we’ll here from him again.

    It’s so tiresome.

      If everyone calls his Senators and Congressman every day demanding that we shut our borders to radical fundamentalist Muslims and deport those who commit felonies, they will get the message and things will change. Apathy will destroy the last best hope of humanity ( but the Lord will rescue us if we fail to act).

    Muslims will find many ways to finance jihad, since they MUST finance jihad or be considered a ‘hypocrite’ who should be killed and replaced with jihad-supporting Muslims by Allah.

    The problem is that we try to stop Muslims from doing what ALLAH COMMANDS THEM TO DO…send money to jihadists.

    im afraid that s correct, he ll cause all sorts of holdups out of proportion to his case. 6 years is closer to whats needed.

    What are we doing letting in all these Somalis? Jews couldn’t immigrate during the Holocaust, but any Muslim from every broken-down backwater can come in.

    It is amazing how these Muslims land a job so quickly as cab drivers. They come from Somalia and” adapt” so well: while US citizen do not have jobs. They must arrive already well connected and are required to donate their income to a Jihad cause, which they already support. Most immigrants struggle to support themselves and their families. Why do we take in such people??? They do not even appreciate the freedom and opportunities they get living in Sunny California.

    Go to prison so they can convert more criminal assholes to their cause. SUCKS

    BTW – according to the Ron Paul Institute, this attack was due to the American intervention in the country, wrote the Brazilian US/Israel hater Pepe Escobar.

    San Diego: Muslim cab driver gets six years for funding group behind Kenya mall jihad massacre
    ………………………………………

    Just six years for funding such an atrocity? Non-violent tax cheats often wind up with stiffer sentences…

    More:

    Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud – an imam at a local mosque – was sentenced 13 years…
    ………………………………………

    An Imam at a local mosque—how did such a pious Muslim ever get the idea that funding violent Jihad was a canonical part of his faith? sarc/off

    More:

    Better to take the bus.
    ………………………………………

    This is a problem I face all the time—I usually *do* take the bus, or just walk. But there are times that I take cabs—and here in the San Francisco East Bay, probably eight out of ten cabbies are obvious Muslims. I often wonder where those cab fares end up…
