Two Muzzies Arrested at Kennedy Airport were Influenced by Somali Group Al Shabaab

Two out of how many?

I wonder how many Muzzies have flown under the Department of Homeland Security’s radar after  having been recruited by Somali-linked Jihadists?   Given the DHS’s non-stellar batting record, I would say it is more than likely in the thousands:

Two Arrested at Kennedy Airport on Terror Charges

Two New Jersey men in their 20s who were bound for Somalia  to join an Islamic extremist group and to kill American troops were arrested at Kennedy International Airport late Saturday, federal and local authorities announced on Sunday.

The men, Mohamed Haoud Alessa, 20, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 24, were to join Al Shabaab, which claims ideological kinship with Al Qaeda, and was thought to have provided a haven to Qaeda operatives wanted for bombings of United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

The men were taken into custody as they prepared to take separate flights to Egypt, the first leg of their journey to Somalia to join Al Shabaab, the officials said in a news release.

They were charged in a criminal complaint with conspiring to kill, maim and kidnap people outside the United States and were expected to be arraigned in federal court in Newark on Monday, according to the officials.

The two men, both United States citizens — Mr. Almonte lives in Elmwood Park, N.J., and Mr. Alessa in North Bergen, N.J. — physically conditioned themselves, engaged in paintball and tactical training, saved thousands of dollars for their trip acquired military gear and apparel, according to the criminal complaint.

They talked about what they said was their obligation to wage violent jihad and at times expressed a willingness to commit acts of violence in the United States, the complaint said.

[What?  You mean to tell me "Jihad" isn't just an "inner-spiritual struggle?"  Really?  Wow!  Quick!  Someone alert John Brennan!]

On Nov. 29, 2009, for example, the complaint said that Mr. Alessa told Mr. Almonte and the undercover: “They only fear you when you have a gun and when you — when you start killing them, and when you — when you take their head, and you go like this, and you behead it on camera . . . We’ll start doing killing here, if I can’t do it over there.” Mr. Alessa used the Arabic words for gun and killing, according to the complaint.

The next day, Mr. Alessa told the undercover: “I leave this time, God willing, I never come back. I’ll never see this crap hole. Only way I would come back here is if I was in the land of jihad and the leader ordered me to come back here and do something here. Ah, I love that.”

[Yup, this is the way Islamists see America; a "crap hole."  Or, to put it in a more polite Islamic term, "Dar al-Harb."

So, remind me again why Bush, Obama, and the DHS let thousands of Somali Islamists immigrate into America under a Temporary Protected Status (TPS)  without doing a thorough background check, first?

This is why we've got so many problems with Somali Muslims recruiting other Muslims in the United States for Jihad.  Well, that and the fact that Jihad is mandatory in Islam.

Quixotic Multiculturalism will be the death of us all...]

The complaint said that more recently, on April 25, Mr. Almonte said that there would soon be United States troops in Somalia — which he called a good development because it would not be as gratifying to kill only Africans.

The men also watched and played for the undercover officer numerous video and audio recordings that promoted violent jihad, including lectures by Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni cleric who is suspected of using the Web to incite Muslims in the West to violence, and videos featuring attacks by Al Shabaab and other terrorist groups, the complaint said.
