This leads inevitably to questions of motive. Is the Obama DHS entirely indifferent to…HS? Is the Obama administration so bent on social engineering and transforming America by bringing in as many Muslims as possible that it is willing to do so even when it realizes that Americans will be murdered as a result? It seems so. Is there any other way to see this?
“DHS Knew OSU Attacker Was Terror Recruitment Target, Let Him Into The U.S. Anyway,” by Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, December 15, 2016:
Department of Homeland Security officials knew Ohio State University attacker Abdul Razak Ali Artan was a possible recruitment target of Islamic terrorists but granted him asylum anyway, along with his mother and six of his siblings, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley revealed in a letter sent Wednesday to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
While seeking asylum as refugees from Mogadishu, Somalia in 2013, Artan’s mother told immigration authorities that she feared persecution from al-Qaeda affiliate group al-Shabaab, and worried that Abdul and his siblings would be recruited by the terrorist organization if they remained in Somalia.
That knowledge should have lead USCIS officials to “conduct additional questioning better understand ties to a group that the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2008.” But the additional questioning, which the Committee describes as “common practice” in those situations, never happened.
Artan’s father, according to the letter, had been kidnapped by the terrorist group. According to the Committee, one of Abdul’s siblings did not travel to America with the rest of the family, for reasons left unclear.
Artan’s family spent time in a Pakistani refugee camp before entering the United States.
Abdul Artan was shot dead in late November after plowing his car into a group of pedestrians before attacking students at random with a butcher knife. ISIS has claimed credit for the attack. In an interview with school newspaper a few months before the attack, Artan complained about the lack of Muslim prayer rugs provided by the university.
“According to sources, Abdul Razak Ali Artan was a lawful permanent resident who originally came to the United States from Mogadishu, Somalia after spending time in a Pakastani [sic] refugee camp with his mother, Fatima Abdullahi, and six siblings,” Grassley’s letter reads.
“According to records obtained by the Committee, the mother sought asylum in 2013 for herself and seven of her eight children because she feared persecution from ‘Militia and Al-Shabaab.’ She also indicated that her husband was kidnapped, and that her children would be kidnapped and recruited by Al-Shabaab if they remained in Somalia.”
“This information should have caused the asylum officer to conduct additional questioning of the older children to better understand ties to a group that the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2008. Further questioning could have eliminated the possibility that the asylees had dubious ties to the terrorist group and could have allowed for more robust vetting and data collection. However, although common practice in these cases, no additional questioning was conducted.”…

To some of us, this is no surprise.
The DHS, according to the Investigative Report on Terrorism, has hired c.a.i.r to train France officials.
DHS seems to be involved in conflict of interest. But maybe, they have a different interest than we are supposed to believe.

It’s all in the New World Order plan. Bring in Muslims, cause Civil conflict, cause Civil war, save the remaining population by initiating Martial Law, and BOOM! Instant NWO. And the remaining people!E will be grateful to the Military for saving them. Then everyone complies with the new laws, economy and lifestyle.

What a fucking idiot.

OSU students should learn the problem is bigger than just looking for dangerous people. The koran’s practice of the concealment of important testimony should be illegal in an of itself, for it is a dangerous practice that leads to phony executions. For instance, it is written in the New Testament that Paul agreed to speak to a group partially composed of former homosexuals. This act of leadership and acceptance of former homosexuals by him was eliminated by the koran. Paul’s conduct there leads his followers in the direction of not killing active homosexuals, as they might turn at any moment. Without a doubt, this concealment of his testimony is a big factor in homosexuals being killed by people who have thrown out the New Testament. The government should not be suing any towns that are standing up against people who practice the dangerous act of the concealment of testimony.

Islam is conducive to madness and rage and no vetting will sift that from its incubated Muslim host.
common sense says
African warlords have been ‘conscripting’ children into their wars this Somali was no doubt at the very least subjugated to those horrors. His father being kidnapped is a big tip and I’m still startled that our security forces say that jihadist are among refugees, let them in anyway, miss one like this who ultimately destroys peoples lives even if no one died. THEN “this is not Islam” “its not who we are” “be quiet and everything will be OK” – WTF? Really? Do the poor chaps in DC even know there is a gun behind every blade of grass here? I pray it does not come to it it just looks like there will be zero tolerance very soon.

When will the American public find out we have a rouge president. An enemy of the American people and the constitution sitting right in the oval office. We have a Muslim president hell bent on bringing down the constitution and advancing the Muslim ideology, replacing the constitution with Shariah Law. The practicing Muslims are already bragging about it. We need legislation to first remove all Muslims from the American government and recognize the Muslim ideology is the enemy of the constitution and the American people. Muslims are not Americans as they do not pledge allegiance to America only to allah..

We did ‘find out’ all about Obama. Which accounts for the meteoric rise, and election, of Pres. Elect Trump.

Obama has sponsored these Muslims, he should be the one to pay for his agenda. Throw the bum in jail.
Eric Jones says
Robert the answer to your questionis that no Obama has no concern for the security of the USA. Obama’s mission was to create conditions where Sharia can be brought to the USA. So far he has failed. He vetoed the JASTA legislation. Congress overrode the veto. Since people are calling for Trump to be investigated as an agent for Putin; then Obama should also be investigated for being an agent of Saudi Arabia.

Now imagine the reaction from someone who devoutly believes that islamic terrorism originates not from islamic teachings but from from poverty, lack of opportunities and having no prospects in life – “oh, you poor, poor things. Please, come into my country, my fellow countrymen are eager to share their wealth with you”.

Islam is the religion of satan, no doubt about this. Humans are weaker than satan, so we can not fight him alone. We need God. Remember who Christ is? He is God and He became human for us. The only sinless human, who died for the sins of everyone, including Artan, his mother, his siblings. Christ is love and the most humble Human. He told us to love our enemies. So, I feel for this mother. She did everything humanly possible to save her children. DHS only helped her. They were probably concerned for these young people. She must have a very hard time now. If I could only reach to her and tell her that mothers prayer can save a person from the bottom of hell where her son most likely is. But she has to pray to Chris with the love of a mother and with the bleeding heart of a mother. Even if she doesn’t believe Christ is God, she can say “If you are God, help me, deliver my child from hell” and Christ will most likely give her a consolation and directions. He will find the way to do it. May be there will be Christians who can pray for her. I don’t always have the spiritual strength to pray, but when I have it I will pray for her too. I don’t know if I would be writing this if a child of mine was hurt. I don’t think I am that strong, forgiving and loving. I am a human too and I am weak. My children are not safe either. I fear for them every day and it has to do with the mass islamic migration.

Okay, wait a minute. The article says that he came because the mom thought he would be recruited in Somalia and thought that if they came to the US, Artan would be far from al-Shabaab recruitment.
It doesn’t say he was interested in jihad as a child. This has probably happened with some refugees, but it is not really clear here. I am reading this article as saying that the mother thought America might keep him out of jihad (jihadists KIDNAPPED HIS FATHER), but he found himself crawling into ISIL propaganda anyway. This isn’t sufficient proof to convince me that he came as a “stealth jihadist”. (We would have to prove he agreed with those jihadists before he entered. This article has not even proven that they kept in touch.)
