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

Muslim baggage handler at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport boasted of being able to take down plane

Feb 11, 2016 9:03 am By Robert Spencer

This AP story says that Warsame boasted of being able to take down a plane at the Minneapolis airport. It doesn’t bother to mention that he actually worked there. And no one there would have dared question him about what he thought of jihad terror. That would have been “Islamophobic.”

Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame

“Minnesota Man to Plead Guilty in Islamic State Case,” Associated Press, February 11, 2016:

A Minnesota man accused of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State group is expected to plead guilty.

Twenty-year-old Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court on Thursday for a change of plea hearing. Court documents allege Warsame tried to help other young men from Minnesota’s Somali community travel to Syria to fight for the Islamic State group.

Nine other members of that group were charged previously; one is believed to be in Syria and three have already pleaded guilty….

Warsame boasted of being able to take down a plane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

    Lusting to murder, lusting to rape….and boasting. Some faith, these people have.

    It is beastly and not faith at all, but a call to the basest in animals, straight from satan.

    Problem is at the current threat level who knows whether it’s an idiot just saying things or a real threat. Those on the left who cry Islamophobia at the slightest excuse as they did over Ahmed the Radio Shack Clock ‘maker’ need to engage their brains for once and understand that whether its something suspicious, a hoax phone call or the real thing, they ALL have to be responded to in the same way.

      They are responding in the same way, denial.

    • SJA says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 8:33 pm

      If he works there, he can. He has access to the planes and it would not be difficult to hide something in the baggage hold or elsewhere on the aircraft. He may be an idiot but he’s a dangerous one!

    • SJAK says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 8:36 pm

      He is capable. He works there and, as a baggage handler, has access to the aircraft. It wouldn’t be hard to hide something.

    Where does it say he worked there?

    UNREAL

    Its like they only tell you half a story anymore

    Whos pulling the strings?

    • Steve says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 6:38 pm

      In the headline, and the first paragraph, you apparently blind,illiterate,and most likely completely freaking stupid

    • Steve says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 6:43 pm

      Duh…..read the headline, read the first paragraph, you ignorant, eight up with dumb pass stupid and most probably illiterate imbecile. Get off your little sisters computer. Listen to the bell, ding ding school is in session.

        It says nothing about him being a baggage handler. ICH is right.

        I think you owe the poster an apology.

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 12, 2016 at 12:51 am

          Pumbar, you are right, and no one should have insulted ICH.

          But if you just click on the link, you will find the story. It is not as though Robert Spencer hid it.

        • Pumbar says

          Feb 12, 2016 at 9:33 pm

          Appreciated Graven. I was just pointing out that the information does not appear in the main story which was linked to.
          It was unnecessary to attack a poster in that way. When a mere repost of the link would suffice.
          We need to keep people onboard (not an Iranian navy pun).

        To Steve – The headline and first paragraph are NOT PART OF THE AP story, and your remarks are gratuitous and rude. They also indicate that you are not a careful reader and most likely an aggressive dolt.This is not the first time you, Steve, have revealed yourself to be most unpleasant.

        Apologize to ICH.

        Cheers!

      Go to the link above, ICH, in red where it says ” he actually worked there”:

      “Minnesota man who wanted to join ISIS once worked as baggage handler at airport”

      http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/12/22/minnesota-man-who-wanted-to-join-isis-once-worked-as-baggage-handler-at-airport.html

      It was Fox News that reported this.

      • pumbar says

        Feb 18, 2016 at 8:49 pm

        That’s not the point. Anyone can fail to scan a link and the post something they see as critically important here. They may be wrong but they should be allowed to do it.
        What is wrong is for someone else to rain down abuse on them for what they posted.
        I wish this place was a friendlier site for people who have just realised how horrible islam is and exactly what it wishes for us…

    You know, it’s islam that I hate, but all of these crimes being committed by Africans and middle eastern people is having an impact on my view of those ethnic groups. It can’t not. And then just look at that horrible face. For the first 50 years of my life, I was not one bit racist. I had no need to be. But now…..

    • Rocky Stewart says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 11:27 am

      50+ years of trying to put racial issues aside is pretty much in the toilet. Much of the credit goes to Barry Sotero but he couldn’t have done it without the help of Farrakhan, Jackson Jesse & Samuel), Sharpton and the self-hating, suicidal left. After the Beyonce-Bitch performance at the Super Bowl, it is becoming increasingly apparent there is not much hope left.

      What do you hate about Islam?
      Muhammad the Serpent of Satan owned and bartered child sex slaves.
      No wonder Muslims are the lowest of the low.

      @ grace

      “For the first 50 years of my life, I was not one bit racist. I had no need to be. But now…..”

      And you still have no need to be a racist, since Islam is an ideology, not a race. People of any race can and do choose to follow it.

      Take your nonsense elsewhere.

    • Charli Main says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 12:17 pm

      @ grace
      hating Islam and its adherents DOES NOT MAKE YOU A RACIST because Islam is a system of living, not a race.
      Both Muslims and right wing extremists love to project the war against islam as a black v white race war, when in fact the war is between two diametrically opposed ideologies. Democracy, freedom of speech, multiculturism and diversity and its polar opposite….Islam. There is NOTHING multicultural or diverse about Islam. Islam is a monocultural monolith whose ultimate objective is to eliminate diversity and replace it with a one world system subject to Sharia Law.

    • Shmooviyet says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 3:56 pm

      Racism is what islam feels toward blacks; isis wasn’t crazy about al shabbab aligning itself with them at first.

      There are different issues; the racial extremism backed by BO which many non-islamic Somali immigrants have been attracted to, and the poison in followers of islam, which simply hate ALL.. somewhere along the line they get mixed together and the general malcontents find a ‘home’ in islam. Recall Daddy Bergdahl in the Rose Garden or other non-black muslims. In Mpls., which apparently was ‘too white’ according to the true racists, you can see the divide.
      Just a thought.

    Wearing politically correct straight jackets is a prerequisite for these pathetic things infesting our government and media.
    No straight jacket no job.
    And if you say we should question their theological motivation we will call you racist.

    They probably hire security risks to convince themselves and each other they aren’t racist.

    Lived in Minnesota for several years…people there are dupes to the nth degree….they go out of their way to show these imports how swell they are….public schools start at early age….I know this from experience…indoctrinating the kids into the cultural diversity, tolerance, white guilt nonsense…and yet they bring more of the so called refugees over here Thank you catholic and luthern social services…how many have you converted to Christianity?

    • Michael Copeland says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 2:13 pm

      The Catholic and Lutheran charities bringing in these muslim settlers are CONTRACTORS to the government. They receive handsome taxpayers’ funding for doing the contract work.
      They have hired their bodies out for cash.

    • pumbar says

      Feb 11, 2016 at 9:17 pm

      I find it odd that quite a few posters on here tell us that the BIG problem is that we have forgotten about going to church and worshiping god.
      To me it seems that the churches are as bad as any of the institutions for pro-islamic, touchy feely nonsense.
      In fact I think people are probably best steering clear of them and getting together at home if they want to read the Bible and pray.

      • Charli Main says

        Feb 12, 2016 at 3:23 am

        Fair point IMO.

        Pulpit preachers are endlessly banging on about how it is our ” Christian duty ” to welcome all these ” poor, desperate” Muslim refugees. Endless crap about how they only want a chance of a new life and a safe place to live for their children. Best of all “they are just people like us, only wanting the things we want for our families” blah–blah–blah

        Much akin to a shepherd begging his sheep to let a wolf pack into their pen to live with them.

      Maybe it’s the Swedes in Minnesota, eh?

      I’ve been wondering why about Minnesota too.

    I’d like to know how popular that will make him with the general prison population…

    Slightly Related; does anyone remember a DC10 crash about 40 years ago, over 300 people killed on a short hall flight Paris to London. The North African baggage handler did not fully close the plane’s cargo door resulting in a catastrophic decompression of the aircraft and the subsequent crash. In his defense the baggage handler claimed he could not read the instructions on how to close the cargo door. I just wonder if that could have been terrorism in disguise?
    But in any even these low IQ desert dwellers have no right to be anywhere near an airport or any other high security area, e.g.. military base.

    ………………….

    Why the hell are we still employing Mohammedans *in our airports*?

    After 9/11 I read a reputable article in a mainstream newspaper that noted that someone on the cleaning staff had placed boxcutters on the plane for the hijackers. I never heard anything more about it.

    A Somali baggage handler in Minnesota. What could possibly go wrong?

  15. Dick B. says

    Feb 12, 2016 at 1:42 pm

    Boarding passengers are screened thoroughly, but airport workers (baggage handlers, provisioning, fueling, etc.) are not. There’s a problem with theft of baggage contents. This implies those workers can open and rummage through baggage, hide items they take until their shift ends, and walk out of the airport with their loot undetected. Bad enough, but playing that in reverse think of an explosive device being brought into the airport and placed in baggage of a designated flight. Why is this permitted? Is it unions or what?

    • Concerned Citizen says

      Feb 12, 2016 at 1:47 pm

      Yes and other left wing fanatics!!
