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

Feds have at least six open cases looking at Islamic State support in Minnesota

Sep 10, 2017 7:13 pm By Robert Spencer

Vibrant diversity in the Minneapolis area.

“Feds have at least six open cases looking at ISIS support in Minnesota,” by Stephen Montemayor, Star Tribune, September 9, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

The St. Louis Park family had just started a two-month vacation with relatives in Morocco in 2015 when they noticed that their 18-year-old son was on his cellphone even more than usual.

He told them it was just a distraction while adjusting to the Casablanca area, a place he found more hectic than his suburban hometown.

But within days, Abdelhamid Al-Madioum had disappeared.

His parents now know that the young man had secretly booked a flight to Istanbul, on his way to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

His case, laid out in newly unsealed court filings, is the first new disclosure of a young Minnesotan attempting the terrorism pilgrimage since the high-profile prosecution of nine Twin Cities men drew national attention last year.

And while that case seemed to close a chapter on one of the FBI’s biggest terror recruitment probes, the new documents underscore what federal authorities have been quietly saying for months: Their investigation of terrorist recruiting in Minnesota is far from finished.

In addition to Al-Madioum’s case, the Star Tribune has identified at least five other open investigations alleging ISIS support in Minnesota, with cases from 2015 to as recently as late last year….

    Yes, Star-Trib– it took travelling to Morocco for the young man to become radicalized.
    If that doesn’t fly, we’ll read of the terrible ‘phobia he faced from his St. Louis Park neighbors.

    Welcome to Minnesota the Land of 10,000 Muslims! Where equal opportunity for any recruiter from ISIS/ISIL, al-Shabaab, Hamas, etc. has a chance to work their magic. We have Governor Goofy and Mayor Boodges to make sure DIVERSITY reaches every corner of our state and to make sure everyone has the hotline number to report a slur or anything else about Muslims and their religion of peace. Haven’t heard anything lately about the cop who shot the lady who called 911 or the bombing of a mosque in Bloomington (terrorist training center?), so much for justice.

    Funny, this essay made me think of when I was driving on some side streets one Saturday morning in St Louis Park. This is an inner ring suburbe of middle-middle class nothing rich means. There’s a big Jewsih community there. That morning I found myself slowly driving through the streets where hundreds of Jews were all walking, not driving, to the temple over on Hwy 100, not far from the Benilde St Margaret Catholic church. It was such a peaceful sight, all those intact families led by yarmulke wearing fathers slowly walking to temple. All was good that morning. And the temple didn’t even have a high decibel loud speaker on top. The influx of Jews has proven very good for this country. The imore recent influx of Moslems has been very bad for this country, and is sure to get worse. And I’m not talking about loud speakers.

    Planned Parenthood Action Fund – Make An Urgent Gift
    I was wondering why girls becoming pregnant after being raped a Muslims is never reported. Planned Murderhood must be doing a huge business.

    Refugees taking 2month family vacation to Morocco? Wow, these poor refugees seem to be doing well!
    How many hard working American citizens can take a 2 month vacation!?
    Guess if Uncle Sam gave me free health care, an EBT card with cash access, business grants, tax breaks, rent assistance and the Catholic and Lutheran churches gave me furniture, cars, housing supplies, more rent assistance that then maybe I could also save up for a 2 month vacation.

    Surprise. Where you have a lot of Muslims, you have a lot of terror. The tiny small infinitesimal insignificant minority is enough to cause big trouble.

    Start with the Minneapolis mayor. ..and her muslim board.. She is the head ISIS enabler. Hiring muslim cops, them threatening and killing unarmed women.

    Then the media being silenced about it. .

    There is a sick pic of her way too close to a somali woman. Google it. I wouldn’t want her doing that to my daughter.

    Sheesh!
