Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Another Muslim from Minnesota killed fighting for the Islamic State

Dec 22, 2014 11:27 pm By Robert Spencer

ISIS10When Muslims from Minnesota were going to fight with al-Shabaab in Somalia, authorities dismissed it as a manifestation of ethnic loyalty: they were Somalis going back to Somalia to fight for their homeland. But Somalis going to Iraq and Syria? That cannot be explained away by referring to ethnicity: it is clearly motivated by religious beliefs. But mainstream authorities will not discuss that; to do so would be “Islamophobic.”

“Another Minnesotan possibly killed fighting for ISIS,” by Tom Lyden, MyFoxTwinCities.com, December 22, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

Reports on social media indicate another Minnesotan may have died fighting for ISIS in Syria.
A Twitter user who is known to have connections to al-Shabaab in Somalia, claims the man was killed during a recent U.S.-backed offensive in the Syrian city of Kobane. On Twitter the militant said, “Allahu Akbar (God is Great), a young Somali brother I used to know back in Minnesota got Martyred in Kobane.”

The Twitter user identifies the dead man only as “Yusuf,” and says Yusuf’s older brother is with him in Somalia.

‘We believe he’s a recruiter’

“This is someone (Yusuf) we’ve been following for some time,” said Omar Jamal, a Minnesota Somali community leader with the group American Friends of Somalia. “We believe he’s a recruiter and may’ve even purchased tickets.”

Jamal said Yusuf is believed to have left Minnesota in June shortly after another man, Abdullahi Yusuf, attempted to leave on May 28, but was intercepted by FBI agents at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. Abdullahi Yusuf, 18, is in custody and was indicted last month with another Minnesotan, Abdi Nur, 20, for providing material support for the terrorist organization ISIS. Nur is believed to be in Syria fighting for ISIS. The FBI says there is no evidence he has returned to the United States….

    Thank you for the term “Muslim from Minnesota”. This is factual, accurate, and indisputable, an “excellent pattern” [to follow].

    Maybe he was from Lake Woebegone, where all the men are mujahideen, all the women are covered, and all the children are indoctrinated to hate the kuffar.

        Great but why are Canada, Holland, Denmark, the US and Britain preventing other committed Jihadists from going. Let them go, just don’t allow them to return, or if you do arrest them and try them for treason.

    They talk about DUTY but they are after the BOOTY.

    A woman’s only purpose on earth is to give pleasure to a man according to Islam.
    Muslim men don’t view woman as actual people and can’t see past their own infantile selfish ego’s.
    Muhammad their example leeched off a wealthy woman then had sex slaves.
    Nasty sociopathic narcissism is not truly religion. Other religions might call this sin.
    What else should we expect from the self-centered prophet of Pig-polygamy.

    This “lone wolf” knew exactly what his ‘mission” was TO KILL COPS….Dont let the denial of islam leaders fool you.He was a hired killer and those that gave him the orders + weapons to kill cops should be apprehended .I would suggest looking at what was instructed by the Muslim Brotherhood or the islamic Society of America or the local mosque.Why hasnt this connection been pursued?
