By Ben Mathis-LilleyAnother American, Abdirahmaan Muhumed, has been killed fighting on behalf of ISIS in Syria. Muhumed was from Minnesota; Douglas McAuthur McCain, whose death in Syria was reported Tuesday, attended high school in Minnesota, though it's not clear whether the two men knew each other.
Minnesota Public Radio reported earlier in the summer that Muhumed was among the group of "as many as 15" Americans of Somali ancestry who had left the Twin Cities to fight in Syria:
"A Muslim has to stand up for [what's] right," Muhumed, 29, wrote in a Jan. 2 [Facebook] post. "I give up this worldly life for Allah."
Muhumed, who claims he wants to save the global Muslim community, said if that causes others to consider him a terrorist, he is "happy with it." He asked Allah to forgive him and to "make my mom strong for the decision that I made."

(17,064 posts)29 years old, and fathered NINE children? And then rather than help raise and support them, he traipses off to the ME to fight a jihad? I feel bad for the kids, who won't have a father (though I suspect he'd be a negative influence), and I feel bad for the mothers, who have to go it alone. But I also feel the US, and world, are better off without this douche-bag.
Go ahead, flame away if you must.
