There have been many false statements by our press as well as Judge James Robart of Washington State that there have been no incidents of terrorism committed or attempted by individuals from the 7 countries covered under President Trump’s Executive Order. I beg to disagree and we can easily prove it:

Dahir A. Adan — The Minnesota Mall stabber is a Somali refugee. (1)

Abdul Razak Ali Artan — The Ohio State stabber is a Somali refugee. (2)

Waad Ramadan Alwan — The arrested Bowling Green terrorist plotter was an Iraqi national. (3)

Mohanad Shareef Hammadi — The second arrested Bowling Green terrorist plotter was an Iraqi national. (3)

Those are 4 examples of individuals that have successfully come into the United States under false pretenses and have either committed acts of terrorism or been planning a terrorist act.

What is equally troubling is the number of other individuals that have been radicalized after they visited or corresponded with radical leaders or imams in these 7 countries. Here are some examples:

Major Nidal Malik Hasan — The Fort Hood shooter became radicalized after corresponding with a Yemini imam, Anwar al-Awlaki. (4)

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez — The Chattanooga military base shootings occurred after he was corresponding with the same Yemini imam, Anwar al-Awlaki. (5)

Syed Rizwan Farook —One of the San Bernardino shooters was in contact with radical groups in Somalia, namely Shabaab. (6)

Tashfeen Malik — The second San Bernardino shooter was also in contact with Shabaab in Somalia. (6)

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — One of the Boston Marathon bombers was radicalized by Yemini imam, Anwar al-Awlaki. (7)

Tamerlan Tsarnaev — The older brother to Dzhokhar and the second Boston Marathon bomber was also influenced by Yemini, Anwar al-Awlaki (7)

Essentially, what we have here is proof that almost all of the major terrorist attacks in the last 10 years have been indirectly or directly linked to people in the 7 countries of concern. Many of the people that were influenced by Anwar al-Awlaki took trips to Saudi Arabia. It isn’t a far stretch of the imagination to assume or wonder if they took a side trip to meet these radical leaders as well. These countries export terror. This is the proof.
