2. If that's true...

It's even more sickening...if that's possible.

3. That is what al-Shabaab is claiming:

CNN Breaking News - Three of alleged attackers at Nairobi mall are from U.S., according to sources within terror group Al-Shabaab. Reply STOP 2 unsub

4. al-Shabaab has recruited in the Twin Cities, MN.

It's a major scandal here. The local Islamic Center says they're not doing it, though.

Anyhow, this doesn't surprise me too much. It's very disappointing, though. The Somali and other African immigrants here face some very serious challenges, even from segments of the black community. It's a tough deal for them here.

Here's a story from our local CBS station:

7. maybe they are using something other than the mosque to recruit

social media seems more likely since we know they use things like twitter and their target is mostly young people.

5. WTF!!!!!!

How is this even possible???!?

I don't buy it.

8. why is it so hard to believe ?

9. That's what people in England asked about Americans funding the IRA.

I'd tell you to ask Peter King (R-hypocrisy), but he'll deny that's where NORAID money went.
