“The trial has exposed tensions in Minnesota’s Somali community, where some believe the men were entrapped by a former group member turned paid FBI informant who testified at trial.”
What would it take for you to commit mass murder in the name of Allah?
Would you do it for money? For love? Out of a sense of justice? Out of a sense of religious duty?
Absurd as they may seem, these are serious questions, for as jihad mass-murder plots are being uncovered in the United States more frequently than ever, those are accused of perpetrating them and several Islamic groups are increasingly charging entrapment: that overzealous FBI agents pushed poor innocent Muslims into taking part in a jihad plot that otherwise would never have existed.
And so it is here. The same claim has been made in connection with numerous other jihad cases in the U.S. Yet charges of entrapment are silly for any Muslim caught in a jihad terror plot to try to pursue. For there is every indication that these jihadis were more than willing to do whatever was necessary to enable them to join the Islamic State. If undercover agents approached you and tried to entice you into joining a murderous jihad group, how hard would it be to convince you to do it?
Speaking strictly for myself, I have absolutely no worries of ever being entrapped in this way; there is simply nothing, under any circumstances, that anyone could say to me to convince me to blow anyone up or behead anyone. And so if someone showed up and started trying to cajole me into doing so, I would find him irritating, but I wouldn’t even come close to doing anything that would enable anyone to portray me as guilty of anything. Law enforcement agents were not to blame and cannot justly be held accountable for these men’s choices.
These increasingly common charges of entrapment should be seen for what they are: yet another attempt to divert attention from the ugly reality of Islamic jihad activity in the U.S. and around the world, and to place the responsibility for jihadist misdeeds upon non-Muslims — specifically the ones who are trying to thwart the jihadists” plans. After 9/11, we were assured again and again that the vast majority of Muslims in the U.S. and worldwide were peaceful, and sincerely condemned such violence perpetrated in the name of their religion. Yet nearly fifteen years later, we still have yet to see a sincere and effective effort within mosques to expose and report those who hold to the beliefs that led to those attacks.
Instead, we get more finger-pointing and claims of victimhood, even from self-proclaimed moderate Muslims. And that means we will also get more jihad.
“Three Minnesota men convicted of conspiring to join Islamic State,” Reuters, June 3, 2016:
MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) – Three Minnesota men were convicted on Friday of conspiring to commit murder in Syria on behalf of the Islamic State militant group, the U.S. Justice Department said.
Jurors convicted Guled Omar, 21, Abdirahman Daud and Mohamed Farah, both 22, on multiple counts in Minnesota federal court. All three could face life in prison.
U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger told a news conference after the verdict the evidence showed the men, part of a larger group of Somali-American men charged in the case, were not “wayward kids who just got caught up in a fantasy.”
“They wanted to fight for a brutal terrorist organization, kill innocent people, and destroy their own families in the process,” Luger said.
The men accused of making multiple efforts to leave the United States for Syria were convicted on all but one of the charges against them including conspiring and attempting to provide material support to Islamic State.
Farah was also found guilty of lying to a grand jury and FBI agents and Omar of attempting to use $5,000 of student financial aid in the plan. Jurors acquitted Daud of a perjury charge.
Prosecutors put on more than two dozen witnesses, secret audio recordings and terror videos in the trial that went to the jury on Wednesday afternoon.
Farah’s attorney, Murad Mohammad, said he and his client were disappointed in the verdict. They had argued that Farah’s actions did not rise to the level of conspiring to murder anyone or provide material support to Islamic State.
“Farah fell victim to ISIL’s slick marketing campaign, dusted with enough misrepresentations of Islam to make it appear to be a legitimate Islamic organization,” Mohammad said, using a different acronym for Islamic State….
The trial has exposed tensions in Minnesota’s Somali community, where some believe the men were entrapped by a former group member turned paid FBI informant who testified at trial.
Luger said the jury rejected the idea of entrapment.

This above news story is a fitting time to reiterated what should be obvious to to most people with at least an average intelligence and basic knowledge of the heinous power of deception of false religion .This this case the religion of Islam. For those three Muslim males who live in Minnesota in their attempt to travel overseas to join ISIS might actually to the delude and warped , because of Islam, have a strong Islamic feeling that they are “doing and right thing.” So deluded in their Islamic mindset that they might actually be sincere in their striving to join ISIS . This is an example of just how far from reality because the the delusion of Islam some Muslims actually are . This also serves as an example of the folly falsehood of the fool saying that is “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as their sincere.” the facts of reality are the opposite of that statement of total falseness, as the above article shows.For it does ,very much,, matters what a person believe regardless if he or she is sincere or not. Those three Muslims might be very sincere but they are still wrong ,. Very wrong Likewise , it then follow that if sincere then in the own deluded Islamic way of thinking the may also have “good intentions ” in attempting to join ISIS. In contrast to the nonsensical saying just site above is the true and reality based saying .Which is that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Look, they’re Somali Muslims.
if they want to go to Syria, let them go already.
Just revoke their passports and prohibit them from entering the United States ever again. These beings are not American. They’re Muslim.
mortimer says
International law won’t allow the US to ‘just revoke’ their passports. Look it up.
Ex-muslim says
The question is who brought these muslims in the US and why?
Trico says
“The question is who brought these muslims in the US”
Do the name Barack Hussein Obama ring a bell?
-and why
Barack was lonely?
Barack missed Africa so decided to bring Africa here?
Barack really hates white people so wants to “colorize” America?
Barack wants to be sure his statements that America is no longer a Christian Nation comes true?
Somalia was having a big sale on Somalis and Michael, I mean Michelle cannot resist a bargain?
Barack needed cheap labor to help him and Michael, I mean Michelle move their things out of the White House in case he decides to really leave?
In one word: Jihad
Shane says
Actually, it was Bush who started taking immigrants from Somalia, so you just can’t blame Democrats for this insanity. Paul Ryan and most other GOP pols would not join Trump in calling for an end to muslim immigration, so the problem of allowing large numbers of musilms into the USA is not just caused by Democrats.
Trico says
“Actually, it was Bush who started taking immigrants from Somalia, ”
Yes they are both just tentacles of the same Octopus or both heads of a many headed Dragon. Obama has accelerated the influx of “Refugees”.

Many Muslims love the freedom and prosperity of living in the US, but still feel an irresistible desire to destroy it.
Muslims are living in cognitive dissonance between the modern world and the retrograde deadly pull back to the primitive, brutal 7th century.
It’s time for Western governments to create protocols to deprogram Muslims right out of Islam.
Gbox says
If we are to be serious about winning, these 3 should be executed before they get the chance to commit atrocities. That should apply to anyone signing up with ISIS. Is there any reason to keep them alive?
Oliver says
I agree with Abad–let them-and hopefully take their (extended) families with them, to Syria. Or Iraq; of Somalia, or Pakistan. And (hopefully) get killed there.
But, let them leave.
I do not understand why the US and other nations stop these people from leaving.
And, screw ‘international law”- they left, they are not coming back. period.

Mr. Spencer so wonderfully expressed my own feelings about these former neighbors of mine that there’s nothing I can add. Except that I’m glad they got ’em off the street and good job FBI. Hopefully this will send a strong message to other aspiring jihadis, if you pull this sh*t in Minnesota you’re gone for a very long time. I wish CAIR Minnesota would spend less time accusing islamophobia and work harder to keep their people in line. Their constituency has brought so much gang violence to my homes state and now this, defaming Minnesota by making us a leading contributor of jihadists. But we all know what CAIR is about, we’ll never change their agenda with our concerns or complaints. They’d impose sharia tomorrow if they could. And to me that makes them a dangerously subversive organization.

That’s like expecting an Arsonist to put out fires instead of starting them.
CAIR is just one of over 100 organizations spawned by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hint: they ain’t on your side.

You’re right, it’s a foolish wish. It would never happen. Better I wish Trump get’s in and we ban that organization. How’s that, friend, a better wish?
Trico says
“How’s that, friend, a better wish?”
Absolutely, fellow Infidel.
abad says
Hopefully Trump will make that his first move as president. It is a start, and a good start.
Americans really do need to take back this great nation of ours. Islam simply does not belong in the United States at all.

That’s right, we don’t let barbarians determine our future. We are the better people with superior human rights and system of governance. Ya know, if the worst they did is hate us I might not mind so much. You can’t control how others feel about you. But it’s all that incitement to violence in their faith and traditions that make them persona non grata to me. And if anyone doubts me just look at the state of the world right now because of islam, just consider the mass suffering and murder for that faith. They are a culture of oppression and religious servitude and they are importing that sh*t right under our PC noses. We need that crud like we need a hole in the head.

“Yet charges of entrapment are silly for any Muslim caught in a jihad terror plot to try to pursue.”
Not really. The Jihadists might get a Leftist Judge sympathetic to Islam from the indoctrination classes the Judge took at his Saudi Arabia funded Liberal University.
Some chance is better than no chance, especially when there is such distrust of the Police and the Government in America.
Going forward, what verdict can be expected when a “Jury of your peers” is a Jury panel of 12 Muslims because that’s the population available from which to draw a jury?
Also, you can never underestimate the stupidity of a Jury when confronted with a clever Defense Attorney Team and a not so clever Prosecutor Team. Reference: OJ Simpson Trial

Hundreds of Somalies eager to go to USA have smuggled into Costa Rica. The only thing stoping their travel rigth now is the Nicaraguan army. Yesterday a group of Somalies was arrested for rioting and attacking the police. Many of them are young and strong men. I wonder why they don’t want to stay in latin american countries, probably they are much better over here than in Somalia.
Angemon says
Dead eyes, all of them.
Sam Hawkins says
Remember the Muslim shopkeeper in Glasgow who was murdered by a Muslim for wishing his Christian compatriots a Happy Easter? He had warm, lively eyes. That was intolerable to the deadeyes. Of course, to Fessitude/Voegelinian/Hesperado, they are all the same and that poor victim was just a taqiyya artist.
