But to hear the mainstream media talk about it, it’s the Somali Muslim population in Minneapolis that is at risk of becoming a target of all the enhance security. This coming Sunday, Super Bowl LII will take place within spitting distance of a Somali mosque in Minneapolis, in a community notorious for Islamic radicalism. Two men in the community tried to join the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2016 and one Somali refugee in the area went on a stabbing spree yelling, “Allahu Akbar!”

“Some Somali residents worry about being a target of the heightened security that always surrounds one of the biggest sports events – but especially this year, when fear and suspicions about Muslims and immigrants in general are running high,” Reuters‘ Chris Kenning reported. “Somali residents say they are concerned about the potential for harassment or random violence directed at members of the Somali community, long vilified as a hotbed of extremism.”

The Minneapolis area is home to America’s largest population of Somali immigrants and their children. “Little Mogadishu,” named after the capital of Somalia, is home to over 50,000 Americans of Somali heritage.

As Reuters admitted, Somalia has endured decades of political instability and militant attacks from the radical Islamist terror group Al-Shabaab. More than 20 Somali-Americans have left Minnesota to join extremist groups overseas, including ISIS and Al-Shabaab. Open Doors USA has ranked Somalia the third-worst country in the world for persecuted Christians.

For these reasons, Somalia is one of the countries on President Trump’s infamous “Muslim Ban” executive order restricting immigration from countries of terror concern. Immigration from Somalia dropped when Trump signed the order, even though judges temporarily halted it from going into effect.

“Our community has been labeled as a national security threat. We live in constant apprehension,” Kamal Hassan, founder of the Somali Human Rights coalition, told Reuters. “Every day you hear social media threats against our community.”

“We are vulnerable. We are a few steps away from the stadium,” Mohamed Omar, executive director of the mosque, told Reuters. “It’s very scary now, the climate we live in.” But suspicion of Minneapolis’s Somali community is absolutely justified. Super Bowl LII attendees should remain alert and watchful.

It is impossible to tell how many Somali Americans in Minneapolis believe in Islamist teachings and want sharia (Islamic law) enshrined in local and state law. Most members of this community may be peaceful and patriotic Americans, and it is their duty to restrain any violent impulses in their community. About 60 public agencies, including the FBI and the Minneapolis police, are taking part in security operations for the Super Bowl, a “Tier 1 event.” Planning began two years ago, and authorities plan to exhibit a massive show of force including uniformed police, bomb-sniffing dogs, undercover officers, intelligence, and surveillance to counter any threat.

In 2016, Somali refugee Dahir Adan walked into a shopping mall and started stabbing shoppers — after asking if they were Muslim — and shouting “Allahu Akbar!” ISIS claimed the attack, but the media still played dumb about Adan’s motives, a full year after the attack.

On the one-year anniversary of the terror attack in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where Somali refugee Dahir Adan walked into the Crossroads Center shopping mall and began stabbing shoppers (as he asked his victims if they were Muslim) and shouting “Allah akhbar,” the media is still remarkably unclear about Adan’s motives.

The recent Reuters report admitted these things, but then went on to emphasize the “stigma” against Somalis, as if it were an unfair and unwarranted fear.
