Good thing the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. Imagine how many more Muslims would try to join it if it were.
“Arrests in Minneapolis, San Diego in Terrorism Investigation,” by Amy Forliti, Associated Press, April 19, 2015:
Authorities in Minnesota say arrests have been made in connection with their terrorism investigation into youth who have traveled or tried to travel to Syria to fight with militants, including the Islamic State group.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office said the arrests were made Sunday in Minneapolis and San Diego but there is no threat to public safety. Spokesman Ben Petok did not elaborate on the number of people arrested or give details about the charges. He said more information would be released Monday.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI planned a news conference Monday to announce details. Monday’s news conference was billed as an announcement of a joint terrorism task force operation.
An FBI spokesman in San Diego referred questions to a spokesman in Minneapolis, who said Sunday he could not comment.
Authorities say a handful of Minnesota residents have traveled to Syria to fight with militants within the last year. At least one Minnesotan has died while fighting for the Islamic State.
Since 2007, more than 22 young Somali men have also traveled from Minnesota to Somalia to join the terrorist group al-Shabab.
Four Minnesotans have already been charged in connection with supporting terror groups in Syria, including the Islamic State group….

To returning jihadists…’I hear you knocking but you can’t come in’…If you do we will arrest and try you for crimes against humanity…The way it should be it ain’t, thank you dear leaders…
Sam says
Please let them go and die for Allah. But don’t let them ever in if they can’t get their virgins.
I know it will not happen. They will come back get SS and complain about moral decadence of us infidels.

”There is no threat to public safety.”
There never is, is there ?
Until a tube station is bombed, a marathon is bombed, a soldier is decapitated on the streets of London …
Then all the ‘authorities’ stand around with their thumbs up their arses, saying, ”there was no reason to believe … ” Faugh. How they sicken me.
Truth Seeker says
Islamic Migration is Conspiracy Jihad. The Aim of the Jihadis is to Islamize the Host Country. According to the Islamic teaching, Jihad is the duty of everyone in that Religion and the reward for Jihad is Entry Permit to Janaah (Islamic Paradise). In operation of Jihad if the person/s die, then also he/she/they will get Entry Pass. thus those who board the Ships or Boats to Europe are not at all worried of death even before reaching at the destination. After reaching Destination make all efforts to Islamise the Host Country. death in that operation also will make eligibility to get Visa to Janaah.
The people who are behind in sending them also get entry to Jannah.
Unfortunately the Western Countries don’t understand this Conspiracy and give undue importance and consideration to the Migrants. In return they will destroy Europe, America, Australia etc.
In fact the present approach of them to the Islamic Migrants is nothing but Digging Own Grave.
roger woodhouse says
Truthseeker Spot on.They are shipping them over by the boatload to simply colonise the west .All young men I notice. Probably promised a nubile white woman to father their child and obtain entry plus all the benefits the west has to offer before reducing it to the sh*thole they have just left. All in the name of allah. A thousand curses on these Islamist brainwashed braindead morons
Nichole says
And who brought thousands of African “refugees” to Minnesota and my state, South Dakota? Lutheran Social Services. They should be sued!
don vito says
Indeed so, I read about it on JW, Frontpage mag, Pamela Gellar, or GOV. Can’t remember which, maybe all of them. Also Catholic Charities IIRC. They are the most organized charities for “refugee resettlement”, and the charities get federal $ for doing so!
Paul Allen says
Why, pray tell, do we want to prevent these people from going to join jihad overseas. Why do we want to keep them here to commit their terrorist acts? Like hand grenades in the mall. Let them go, and kill them there. Never let them back into the U.S. I don’t even want them in our prisons, except Gitmo.
Unapologetic American says
Arrests of Obama’s Muslim brothers BUT we have NO update from FBI/ATF/JTTF about Jan 2014 Minneapolis Somali Muslim (bomb-makers) apartment building explosion which occurred just days AFTER Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood members visited the area and Rep. Keith Ellison (alias Keith X. Muhammad). The aforementioned Muslim Brotherhood members were escorted AROUND security at NYC’s Kennedy Airport when they entered the USA and NONE of their baggage was screened under orders from Obama, just how many detonators and how much explosive material did they bring into the country?
underbed cat says
It is a very dangerous sign to me when no “luggage screenings” are done. I think that is also the case with Saudi visitors…. in case they have to to make a run for it out of Saudi Arabia. It is reassuring to read of these arrests in the midst of the most chaotic confusing and treasonous strategies of the Obama Administration. But the soldiers and Americans stranded in the Middle East are just a bunch of folks. Save the wanna a be terrorist from Minnesota…..makes no sense to me….he won’t loose his religious obligation fever, ….let him leave not to return but first give him an a inserted locator chip.
