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

Naturalized US citizen, former DC cab driver, indicted for attempting to join jihad terror group

May 27, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

When Liban Haji Mohamed was admitted into the country as a “refugee” and later granted American citizenship, was any attempt made to determine his views vis-a-vis Islamic jihad violence? Of course not. Any such endeavor would have been denounced as “Islamophobic.”

“Somali Refugee Indicted for Attempting to Join Islamic Terrorist Group,” by John Binder, Breitbart, May 26, 2020:

A Somali-born naturalized United States citizen was indicted this week for allegedly attempting to join Islamic terrorist group al-Shabab.

Liban Haji Mohamed, a 34-year-old Somali native who has been previously identified as a refugee to the U.S., was indicted on charges he allegedly conspired and attempted to provide material support to al-Shabab.

Mohamed was placed on the FBI’s “Most Wanted List” back in January 2015 after the alleged terrorist had a “red notice” issued for him by Interpol.

Mohamed, according to a criminal complaint, allegedly left the U.S. in July 2012 by crossing the southern border into Mexico with the intent to join al-Shabab in Somalia. Mohamed, prosecutors allege, wanted to fight for al-Shabab and help recruit Westerners.

In one case, Mohamed attempted to recruit an undercover federal agent to join al-Shabab in Somalia. Mohamed, prosecutors say, was a close associate of terrorist Zachary Chesser who was convicted for trying to provide material support to al-Shabab.

As previously reported, sources have said that Mohamed first arrived in the U.S. as a refugee and was then allowed to adjust his status to become a lawful permanent resident. After adjusting his immigration status, the federal government allowed Mohamed to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Mohamed previously drove cabs in Washington, D.C. area and lived in the suburbs of Fairfax County, Virginia….

    A new questionnaire should be devised that will probe the TERRORIST COMMITMENT of all Muslim applicants for residency.

    Liban Haji Mohamed should never have entered the USA.

    Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Koran 8.60 (Turhibunna = terrorized them).

      Muslims have been known to lie. They have a special word for it: Taqiyya.
      We already know the answer to: “Are you a terrorist?”

    Leftard slogan: “They are not dangerous. They are in danger.”

    Rational reply: “They are dangerous ticking time bombs. We are in danger from Islamic terrorists.”

      When you have an ideology that promotes, nee celebrates the killing of Jews and Infidels you just need to shut the damn door. Islam calls for the overthrow of the United States Government and replacing it with Sharia law.

    A nutjob? From Somalia? Wow, who saw that one coming!

    At least he left the US. Maybe he’ll never make it back.

    The only good thing about this story is the guy left the USA. Hopefully he’ll never return.

    Are there any muslim-free cab companies in the United States?

    I hail cabs on a regular basis in large US cities, I always feel a little uneasy when the cabdriver has a muslim name.

    Of course, this is islamophobic…

      I would hazard a guess that there are no muslim-free cab services, anywhere in the world. Now, if they were banned from driving cabs! That would be a serious blow against Islam! A huge drop in Zakat money/ terror funding.
      There are a large number of muslim drivers convicted of raping their passengers. How insane is that? These people are nut-jobs.Can you insist on a non-muslim driver? (if you can find one)

        get a white cane pretending to be blind and a support dog….chances are they won’t allow you in the cab….it’s hard to find a non-Muslim cabbie….

        All too true. I don’t drive and I take cabs sometimes–they are all too often driven by Muslims.

    Naturalized US citizen, former DC cab driver, indicted for attempting to join jihad terror group
    …………….

    How was this thug in any way a refugee, since he went right back to Somalia?

    I hope he is stripped of his citizenship, and placed on the no fly list.

    He is just another invader in the disguise of a migrant refugee. You would think that we could find a better class of refugees that want to become part of a free society. Not everyone in the refugee camps are there by force some are there to gain entrance into the U.S. to do harm. WHY ARE WE BRINGING THEM HERE? Keep them in their own country or a similar muslim/islamic country.
