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

OSU jihadi one of 98,799 Somali Muslim refugees admitted to US since 9/11

What could possibly go wrong?

There is an unknowable number of jihad terrorists among these refugees. It is only a matter of time before we hear from more of them.

“98,799 Somali Refugees Settled in U.S. Since 9/11,” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, November 29, 2016:

(CNSNews.com) – Nearly 100,000 Somali refugees have been admitted into the United States since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including 9,020 during fiscal year 2016 and 1,352 last month alone.

More than 99 percent of those refugees are Muslims, reflecting the religious makeup of Somalia’s population, which is almost entirely Muslim, predominantly Sunni.

Figures for November are not yet available. The State Department’s Refugee Processing Center database was down on Monday – but between the al-Qaeda terror attacks in September 2001 and October 31 this year, 98,799 Somali refugees had been resettled in the U.S.

The largest numbers of Somali refugees arriving in the country since 9/11 have been settled in Minnesota (almost 16,000) and Ohio (more than 7,500), with sizeable communities also in Texas, New York and Arizona.

Monday’s attack on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio, was carried out by a student who, according to law enforcement officials, was a Somali refugee who came to the U.S. in 2014, after living for several years in Pakistan.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan drove his car into pedestrians before getting out and stabbing people with a butcher knife, injuring eleven people in total. A police officer shot and killed him.

The terror attack comes two months after a 20-year-old college student – the U.S.-raised son of refugees from Somalia – stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota shopping mall before an off-duty police officer shot and killed him.

In a campaign stop in Minnesota shortly before the November 8 election, Republican nominee Donald Trump pointed to the mall attack and accused the administration of “faulty refugee vetting.”

During October alone, 1,352 Somali refugees were admitted to the U.S., where they were resettled in 38 states and the District of Columbia. The biggest groups were located in New York State (138), Minnesota (135) and Ohio (93).

Those 1,352 Somali refugees constituted 13.5 percent of the total number of refugees from around the world (9,945) admitted to the U.S. in October. They were also second largest group from any country admitted that month, behind a 2,081-strong contingent from the Democratic Republican of the Congo.

The 9,020 Somali refugees admitted during FY 2016, which ended on September 30, comprised the largest annual admission of Somalis under the refugee program in a decade. Not since 2006 (10,357) has a larger group arrived.

For more than 20 years Somalia was not under the control of a single national government. The eventual establishment of a central federal government in 2012 has brought neither stability nor an end to the terrorist offensive waged by al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda affiliate.

Al-Shabaab’s deadly campaign at home has had a spillover in the Somali-American community. Over nearly a decade the FBI has recorded cases of several dozen young Somali-American men from Minneapolis-Saint Paul having traveled to Somalia to join the terrorist group.

Last year nine young Somali-Americans were arrested on suspicion of plotting to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL). Six of them pleaded guilty and the other three were later convicted of plotting to join ISIS and commit murder abroad.

Over recent months ISIS has called on supporters around the world to carry out “lone wolf” attacks in their home countries….

      Who says that Muslims are not humane? They practice ritual slaughter on infidel necks before they do Halal slaughtering
      on animals.

      I do not blame myself because I never brought one of them or assisted bringing them here in any way. I blame my government, specifically the government of Muslim extraordinaire Barack Hussein Obama.
      How could I possibly blame myself?

    There is “an unknowable number” of jihadists among those 100K refugees? Not sure it’s so unknowable.

    Probably we can assume that about 1000 of them are seriously interested in jihad activities at some point in their lives, if lying low for now. Probably 60,000 support totalitarian aspects of Islamic law. Probably about 10,000 to 15,000 don’t wish to do jihad themselves, but feel very supportive of the 1000 interested in doing jihad at some time in the future, and will celebrate jihad attacks on infidels. The group is small in the US context, so it may prefer to direct jihad to other lands for the time being — just as Muhammad, when Muslims were a small, weak group in Mecca, publicly preached tolerance.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 12:39 pm

      Maybe 15%, or 15,000, I would guess, truly believe in freedom of religion and freedom of speech. One could see how far from or close to the mark these percentages are perhaps by checking Pew polls of Somali Muslims… or checking other sources on Somali Muslims

      • Stan Cook says

        Nov 29, 2016 at 1:17 pm

        No checking is necessary Eduardo. I know the number of Somali muslims who “… truly believe in freedom of religion and freedom of speech.” The answer is none. I know that is true because someone who truly believes in freedom of religion and freedom of speech is not, by definition, a muslim.

        • TR says

          Nov 29, 2016 at 5:53 pm

          Agree!
          Plus, Any who believe and follow Sharia should be Deported.
          For if they adhere to Sharia they are not loyal to the Constitution of the USA.

    Notice the difference between the Congolese refugees who have yet to commit a crime and the Somali refugees who have yet to stop committing a crime. I guess the difference is, the Congolese are Christians and genuine refugee’s which have suffered under European imperialism (remember Leopold) vs. the Somalis who are Muslim Jihadi’s intent on destroying none Muslim countries. Look at what they did in Kenya, which has the largest Somali refugee’s in the world!

    My son’s apartment complex in Wichita, Kansas was recently filled with Somali ‘refugees.’ They were given smartphones and new furniture. None speak English so they are therefore unemployable. It makes me sick to think of the tax dollars wasted on this endeavor, from the rent to food to NEW FURNITURE. An invasion paid for by our own government.

    • Allan says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 2:01 pm

      The abomination is complicated still further by the fact that numerous police officers serve and protect not only the migratory parasites but also the politicians and bureaucrats who arranged, aided, and abetted the migration. So if ever you are inclined to believe that cops are heroes, remember that apartment complex as the evidence which gives the lie to that favorite notion of American conservatism.

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 29, 2016 at 8:17 pm

        It was a police officer who killed Jihadist Abdul Artan and saved countless lives. Think of that next time you are apt to consider police protecting us a “lie”.

    We had a few of these Somalis show up in Cheyenne, Wyoming. They didn’t last very long. They wanted this and they wanted that and Wyoming told them tough you are nothing special here you will get what everyone else gets. No special anything. They also kept wearing their African cloths with don’t work in Wyoming’s high winds.

    In a campaign stop in Minnesota shortly before the November 8 election, Republican nominee Donald Trump pointed to the mall attack and accused the administration of “faulty refugee vetting.”

    And he was right. There’s absolutely no way to know whether someone will turn to jihad or not.

    • Jack says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 1:49 pm

      You’re 100% correct Angemon, this is just common sense, the corrupt politicians allowing this, Paul Ryan, Obama just to name two, they cannot possibly be that stupid, so why then, they obviously have a reason and I cant believe it’s a humanitarian reason, if that were the case they would vet or at least try, they would also include Christians but that isn’t the case. As a Christian I believe the reason is they’ve been sent “Strong Delusion” and they’re controlled by the Satanic globalists to bring in their one world government or the so-called New World Order. According to the Scriptures they will get it but they have some horrible surprises coming.

    ‘What could go wrong” Nothing that I wouldn’t expect from Muslims, if a giant foreign corporation had a history of almost 1400 years of deceit, not paying their bills treating their employees unfairly Etc. Etc. and moved to America would we expect it to change?

    In 2010, there was an FBI memo that said many…an untold number…of al shabab members were coming into the country as *refugees* from Somalia. And of course, pointing out the terrorist danger in this fact.

    The FBI was right, but the government allowed them in…invited them in…anyway.

  12. John A. Marre says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 2:14 pm

    1 out of 100,000 turns violent. And there are 1.5 billion in the world.

    • Wellington says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 3:09 pm

      First of all, an ideology should be judged by what it says and NEVER by the fact that many adherents of that ideology don’t fully (or wrongly) implement its tenets. One could have found many non-violent Nazi Party members in the 1930s—-businessmen, lawyers, teachers, etc.—-but this didn’t make Nazism all right. Ditto for Marxists, anarchists, KKK members, and so on. Islam is the only major religion that calls for war to be made upon unbelievers and in its theological blueprint to this very day calls for death for apostasy from Islam and death or at least great bodily harm for any criticism of Mohammed or the Koran. Also, Islam completely endorses, indeed demands, that non-Muslims under Muslim rule are to be pure second-class citizens (if even this) and thus Islam is also an enemy of equality under the law. It sets up a Jim Crow system based on belief rather than race wherever it can and this is heinous.

      Second, I reject your low figure of 1 out of 100,000, especially when one considers that many Muslims who might not themselves be violent support others who are, and then there are a multitude of Muslims who say nothing, do nothing, to stop the violence committed by fellow Muslims (they seem chiefly concerned about almost non-existent backlash, the cry-babies).

      Third, almost all terrorism in the world today is committed by Muslims and so looking at the so-called peaceful ones is IRRELEVANT. For instance, on 9/11 not all Muslims were terrorists but all the terrorists were Muslim.

      Wake up, John A. Marre, and start thinking rather than feeling. Learn more too.

      The idea that there are only about 15,000 Jihad terrorists in the world sounds *way off* to me.

      There have been almost 30,000 Jihad terror attacks since 9/11–how would that work?

      Where did you get this figure from?

  13. davej says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 4:06 pm

    The problem is that the “moderates” are policed by the hardliners, using the prescribed death threats.

    So they are biding their time, waiting to be called up. Remember that it is considered a sin to live in infidel lands, except to conquer them for Islam.

  14. TR says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 5:22 pm

    The Obama Administration knows damn well who and why they are hear. Al Shabaab is deadly. Thousands are given asylum and benefits plus employment in the Midwest meat processing industry. They will bide their time working at honing their skills with knives until call upon to take action backing up the communist Revolution. They have taken over the plants getting rid of Christian holidays and getting time for Muslim Holidays. Check Tyson’s change of policy.

    Minnesota is so very lucky to have had the opportunity to receive this massive Muslim immigration within its borders. I am sure Minnesota Churches have profiteered highly via this Fed / religious charities escort program ($1850 per migrant to the churches!)

    These same religious entities should be required to reimburse all victims of terrorist acts due to their active subversion of the USA.

    Look at those women!!! That sight does not belong in America or any westernized country. Somalis are known to be violent…the pirates, the highest level of FGM – a whopping 98%!!! Al Shabaab and the high number of terrorist attacks aimed at innocents. My niece tutored young school-age Somali refugees and had to quit because of misbehavior, rudeness and acting out. She literally thought she would be hurt. There was absolutely no gratitude from the parents for what she and her fellow tutors were doing. So the violent ideology starts very, very young.

  21. Carolyne says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 5:48 pm

    I haven’t noticed any Islamic community in the US being punished because of the actions of one of them. Quite the opposite, in fact. They get to play victim yet again and the left idiots will jump in to defend them against their non-existent American enemies. Such as George Soros and Theresa Kerry and their “Tides Foundation.” Sometimes there’s even money in it.
