Neither law enforcement officials nor the mainstream media seem to have any curiosity about why so many Muslims from the U.S. try to join the Islamic State.
More on this story. “Terror suspects ordered held without bail,” FOX 5, April 20, 2015:
SAN DIEGO — Two 21-year-old Minnesota men, who allegedly traveled to San Diego over the weekend for fake passports to travel via Mexico to Syria to support the terrorist group ISIS, made their initial appearance in federal court Monday and were ordered held without bail.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen Crawford informed Abdirahman Yasin Daud and Mohamed Abdihamid Farah that they are charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist group and attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
A prosecutor moved for detention on both defendants, alleging they were a danger to the community and were flight risks. A bail hearing was set for Friday in San Diego and an identification/removal hearing was scheduled for April 30.
Daud and Farah were arrested Sunday after allegedly driving from Minneapolis to San Diego to obtain fake passports, according to the criminal complaint.
Arrested in Minneapolis on Sunday were Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, Adnan Farah, and Hanad Mustafe Musse, all 19 years old, and Guled Ali Omar, 20.
“The six defendants charged in the complaint allegedly planned to travel to Syria as part of their conspiracy to provide material support to ISIL,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John P. Carlin said.
The administration refers to ISIS as ISIL.
“One of the National Security Division’s highest priorities is to identify, disrupt and hold accountable those who provide or attempt to provide material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations,” Carlin said….
“As described in the criminal complaint, these men worked over the course of the last 10 months to join ISIL,” said Andrew Luger, U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota. “Even when their co-conspirators were caught and charged, they continued to seek new and creative ways to leave Minnesota to fight for a terror group.”

Good.

These men are being true to the tenets of Islam: Jihad. The Obama administration can refuse to call this what it is all day long, but this is a religious war, has been going on since the 7th century, and the jihadists really want to annihilate Christians most of all. We need another Urban II to lead a crusade against these followers of Satan.

Score! I love how trying to join ISIS is a crime now in the US. It’s also funny/sad that most of America doesn’t know or care about that.

Good, indeed. They’d already be freed on bail if in Minneapolis, then never heard from again.

“Neither law enforcement officials nor the mainstream media seem to have any curiosity about why so many Muslims from the U.S. try to join the Islamic State.”
Nowhere in the article does it say that the men are Muslims. They are “Minnesota men”. We should redirect our focus from jihadis to those nefarious Minnesota men.

The U.S. Department of Health and Family Services and the Office of Refugee Resettlement within the HFS, along with Social Security…..should have a review to see who in influencing these programs in the U.S.. the influx of refugees is a national security problem, financial threat, political threat. Does CAIR work within these agencies? Are they misleading the U.S. congressman and senators to be unaware of the intention to do a reestablish a caliphate? Curious.
