Minnesota: Two Somalis receiving death threats after CAIR criticized them and their conference’s portrayal of al-Shabaab as “Islamic terrorists”
CAIR’s Minnesota chapter led a personal attack on the credibility of Omar Jamal and Abdi Bihi in connection with their planned presence at a conference whose literature described al-Shabaab as an “Islamic extremist terrorism organization,” to which CAIR took exception. There are at least two noteworthy aspects to this story: First, the threats are a […]
Minnesota: Hamas-linked CAIR objects to description of al-Shabaab as an “Islamic extremist terrorism organization”
This is part of the Great American Islamic Interest Group Shell Game on the nature of… that thing we’re not supposed to talk about (but we do). It goes something like this, not necessarily in order. 1. Yes, we see there is a problem and we feel your pain. In fact, we’re victims here, too […]

Director of publicly-funded Minnesota Madrassa receives instructions from state for shutting school down
The Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, whose deception, abuses of taxpayer resources, threats, and witness intimidation we have chronicled over several years, only “has a 10 percent chance of staying open.” If TiZA folds, authorities must ensure that it does not simply reconstitute itself under another name, or spawn similar projects with similar abuses. “TiZA kids […]
“Somali-American of Minnesota” in Mogadishu suicide bombing “wanted to carry out the attack because of abuses by Christians in Muslim countries”
Follow that logic: In retribution for alleged “Christian” abuses in Muslim countries, he runs off from Minnesota (don’t let the door hit you…) to go commit slaughter in jihad in a Muslim country, where Muslims were undoubtedly among his victims. That’ll show ’em! “Al-Shabab militants: Somali-American of Minnesota carried out suicide attack at Mogadishu base,” […]
New evidence in Minnesota Madrassa lawsuit; case possibly in jeopardy over legal status of ACLU chapter
