Somalia Extremists Urge Attacks on US Shopping Malls [Islamic terrorism comes to America]

JOHANNESBURG  A video purported to be by Somalia's al-Qaida-linked rebel group al-Shabab urged Muslims to attack shopping malls in the U.S., Canada, Britain and other Western countries.

In the video, released late Saturday, the extremist group again said its September 2013 attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, was in reprisal for Kenyan military involvement in Somalia. Sixty-seven people died in the attack. The video, using footage from major news organizations, showed the assault on the mall.

The masked narrator of the 76-minute video warned of more attacks in Kenya and concluded by calling on Muslims to attack shopping malls, specifically mentioning the Mall of America in Minnesota, the West Edmonton Mall in Canada and the Westfield mall in Stratford, England.

He’s a patriot! The Washington Post Editorial Board and Dana Milbank say so. Pay no attention to the Islamic Terrorist Wizard Behind The Curtain. All you need to know is the real enemy is Rudy Guiliani.

Years ago a friend of mine was in a movie theatre in the afternoon. There were about 20 middle east guys there and they were pacing out the exits, running from the front to the back of the theatre, doing all kinds of drills. My friend and her mother left the theatre, as it was pretty scary. Shopping malls and movie theatres are their targets.

Minnesota has many Somalis.

Somalis threaten the Mall of America. The Mall of America is in Minnesota.Minnesota has many Somalis.Somalis threaten the Mall of America. And so the circle of American stupidity is completed.

Minneapolis has a large Somali community and some of their members have already been recruited for training in Somalia so a possible terrorist attack on the Mall of America is a no brainer.

http://tcdailyplanet.tumblr.com/post/7081807388/ask-a-somali-why-are-there-so-many-somalis-in ...A lot of Somalis were brought here by Lutheran Social Service back in the 90s. And a lot of Somalis brought here to America due to the civil war of 1991 and moved to Minnesota from other states for jobs. Almost every Somali in Minnesota who came here between 1991 and 1998 worked at the chicken factories in Faribault and Marshall...

retaliation because the last bank here that permitted transfers back to Somalia stopped allowing them. This proves the money being sent back wasn’t just for families but went to fund terrorists.



To: JudyinCanada

And worse, their recruitment efforts may be paying off. The fresh-faced all-American youth you see in mall may have already been turned - only a very few of them, to be sure, but enough so that a major plant can be in a wide number of places, all timed out to have a simultaneous hit. “Flash mob” takes on a whole new connotation. Look to professors in a number of different campuses that may have Middle Eastern ties to Palestine or Iran. Sami al-Arian was not an isolated individual or a solitary example.

Actually, Islamic Terrorism came to America in a big way with the 1993 World Trade Center bombings! That’s almost TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!! The trouble is, the American people slept through it. I remember Steven Emerson having a documentary “Terrorists Among Us: Jihad in America” shown on PBS in 1994!! Do you realize HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS??! Steven Emerson also was testifying before Congress in the late 1990s about Islamic Terrorism. I remember that ... and also remember reading Osama bin Ladin’s “Declaration of War” (a written Islamic justification of war against America) back in 1998. Most people were LAUGHING about it!! But Steven Emerson wasn’t and I wasn’t. Back at the end of the year in 1999, and in 2000 I was posting on Free Republic about Steven Emerson and his “Terrorists Among Us: Jihad in America”. Most people were just “ho-hum” about it. It’s too bad I can’t get those articles on Free Republic from back then, or I would link them here! The REAL TROUBLE here ... is the American people, as all the information that the public needed, was available back in 1993 and 1994 and running up to 2001. I know ... I was posting it!

MSP is the Islam Capitol of MN. Those stupid feel good liberals of that freezer state have given away their state. Islam compliant toilets at the airport, sharia law, you name it, those hosers have bent over in a big way for the Muslim invaders.

Stay armed America. Ignore the “No Guns” signs if you carry concealed. One day, they will strike.



To: Jim Robinson

Good thing we’re not about to de-fund the Department of Homeland Security.



To: Bryanw92

They have already struck ... MANY TIMES ... some have succeeded and some have been caught. They CONTINUE to strike, as we speak and post right now!

I don’t know how many of these Islamic Terrorists Homeland Security has caught, but I do know that the FBI has caught quite a number of them!

Well, this time it was invited here by our treasonous president and commander in chief, B. Hussein Obama.

That is why my Glock and my wife’s 38 go along when we go to the mall. Thankfully we only go very seldom, to hit the book store, Books Cost A Million.

Everyone life fed to carry a weapon had better be trained and ready.Because one day that weapon may be the only thing that determines whether you will live or die in one of these terror attacks. The way I see it its way past time that we start terrorizing these terrorist.

This was an obvious threat even before Tom Clancy wrote about it 10 years ago. Do you need a better reason to carry concealed?



To: Jim Robinson

Hey no biggie, just give the terrorists jobs and they will love us again/sarc
