How many others are there like Harafa Hussein Abdi in Minneapolis? Such questions, of course, are “Islamophobic.”
“U.S. Citizen Charged with Providing Material Support to Isis And Receiving Military-Type Training at Isis Fighter Camp,” Justice Department, February 16, 2024:
A complaint was unsealed today charging Harafa Hussein Abdi, 41, of Minneapolis, with providing and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and receiving and conspiring to receive military-type training from ISIS. Abdi, a U.S. citizen, was recently taken into custody overseas and was transported to the United States yesterday. Abdi will be presented before U.S. Magistrate Judge Valerie Figueredo in Manhattan federal court later today….
As alleged in the complaint, Abdi, moved from Minnesota to Somalia in 2015. Once there, he joined a group of ISIS fighters at an ISIS training camp in the Puntland region of Somalia. During his time with the group, Abdi regularly carried an AK-47 assault rifle and received training on how to use it. In addition, Abdi worked in the ISIS group’s “media” wing, where he filmed footage for distribution by a pro-ISIS media outlet.
In social media communications during his time at the ISIS camp, Abdi described how he had left the United States and joined the “Islamic state.” Abdi also stated that he had made “hijra,” an Arabic term used by ISIS supporters to refer to traveling overseas to join ISIS and engage in jihad. Abdi also sent a photograph of himself carrying an AK-47 assault rifle, as depicted below:
In or about January 2017, Abdi sent an audio clip of rap lyrics in which he expressed support for ISIS and described multiple acts of violence, including shooting and bombing individuals in New York City. Specifically, Abdi stated, “hollow tips put a hole in your Catholic vest, and chop his head off let it rest on his Catholic chest.” Abdi further stated, “We going to carry on jihad”; “Fly through America on our way to shoot New York up. They trying to shut this thing. We ain’t going. We going to come blow New York up.” Abdi sent the audio clip to at least 20 other social media users and included messages with the audio clip, such as “Fighting back the kuffar who’s at war with Muslims if [that] is not islam then I don’t know wats Islam.”
Abdi left the ISIS camp in 2017 after his relationship with the ISIS group’s leadership deteriorated. After being jailed by the group, Abdi escaped and traveled to East Africa, where he was arrested by law enforcement authorities. In subsequent Mirandized interviews with FBI personnel, Abdi admitted that he had joined the training camp, which was affiliated with a known ISIS leader in Somalia. Abdi also identified himself in an ISIS propaganda video that he helped to film at the training camp in which Abdi carried an AK-47 assault rifle, promoted ISIS and urged others to join and fight on its behalf. In the video, Abdi said, “We thank almighty God for making us His soldiers and chose us to be among the Khilafa troops,” and “So do not stay behind, brother, and get on this caravan…. Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith fight in the cause of Evil.” Abdi also admitted that he was trained on and regularly carried an AK-47 assault rifle and practiced shooting the AK-47 in the Somali wilderness outside the camp….

Why not just take him out where they picked him up? (he may be a ‘citizen,’ but he is also a traitor, a fighter for a foreign army)
He’s going to “shoot up NY.” Like the mozlums in Garland who were going to “shoot up Texas.” Or “rip up Texas.” somalia connections.
Wondering, since he is from MN, if i. elmi, alias i omar, knows him and his family.
OLD GUY says
Probably one of her husbands. Our non-justice system will slap his hand and tell him to be a good boy. He should be hanged as the traitor he is.
tgusa says
I am assuming he wants to blow up NYC. He is from a democrat area planning to go to another democrat area and blow it up. He is a border crosser. Democrats are soft on crime. They prefer to de-fund the police. They support no cash bail. So why is he still in custody? The only explanation is racism. I suggest democrats give him a ten thousand dollar debit card to bribe him in to behaving. NYC is a big city so how many people could he blow up that would affect the population?
A US citizen. That doesn’t mean much to the establishment these days. Harafa Hussein is 41. He may have been naturalized but I highly doubt he was born here. As nasty pelosi sez, he is just another “spark of divinity” and democrats need his vote.

A “citizen” was arrested for trespassing when he refused to leave a “migrant facility,” in NY
All of the “migrants” are trespassers….committing criminal trespass when they cross the border.
And not being arrested, but flown or bussed where they wish to go, given a place to sleep and some states, like MA, spending nearly $70 each per day on food alone.
I’m beginning to be surprised when the ones actually committing crimes are the ones arrested.
tgusa says
Those places are dead to me. It is hard enough to rescue a drowning man that wants to be rescued. Trying to rescue a drowning man that doesn’t want to be rescued is not only a waste of time but trying that could easily kill you. Not worth the effort, let them drown, and leave their bodies to the sharks fishes and worms.

“some states, like MA, spending nearly $70 each per day on food alone”
Meanwhile, school committee members in Brockton Massachusetts want the National Guard to come in and restore order.
Holy Cow Batman.
Wait till the migrants begin showing up to school, then it really gets real. The lesson is, stay far away from leftist enclaves.

Glenn Beck played some news clips on his show…the first was a very nice horse running on an interstate….beautiful animal.
Another was a guy in NYC talking about his property taxes rising by the thousands of dollars…9,000 at the low end and 14,000 on some business property.. The people taxing him , are paying over 7 mil to one hotel (there are many hotels in NYC being used to house the criminal trespassers) for the “illegals.”
On top of those things, the money….in the billions….given to sates for covid *relief*….those checks we all got…has been given to the criminal trespassers….even more going to them than was given to citizens who were told to stay home and not get a paycheck, or to close their business and not make money. These ‘illegals’ are being given thousands of dollars each in places like NYC, Chicago, Denver….all those places where the city people are complaining and saying they need more money.
So the hordes coming across the borders…both N and S…were planned for ahead of time. The “covid relief money” which was said to be for all citizens who were hurt by the lockdowns and the mandates, is being given to the illegals they knew were coming.
The Psalm says, “They are all alike corrupt; there is no one doing good, not even one.”
tgusa says
Yeah and the wicked self absorbed establishment sez to us good citizens, who needs law and order and fiscal responsibility when a shit show hell storm is so much more fun.
“They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;
All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.”

He’ll need a big bomb under his jacket to blow up New York city!

muslims don’t ever get Irony.
According to his koran the only way he will get into allah’s paradise is if his face turns…white.
koran 3:106-107
muslims don’t read the koran CRITICALLY.They just assume it is holy.
The koran is not holy, it is holey:the “scholars” of islam have kept the lie that it comes from some god for CENTURIES.
maria says
Quran is a criminal murderous book written by a man(though it is not sure it was Mu-hamed)
It is the most idiotic but even dangerous book.
It should be burned
It is a book of devil
FYI says
All true but people should know what is in it.
It is the most fraudulent book ever written.A “scholar” of islam /dawah man is a square tire saleman to me.Why would anyone buy a square tire?
It is also the most boring book.I always try to get muslims to read it CRITICALLY rather that accept it uncitically.It does work for some but fanatics won’t do that.
Buzz says
very similar to the bible…
somehistory says
That’s baloney.
JimJFox says
Only in the respect that Muhammad lifted parts of the Old testament
GE says
Every day hundreds crossing here at Nogales. One line for citizens returning home, or for day shoppers from Mexico, another for the unvetted border crossers. Immediately transported north to the airport in Tucson to fly to their chosen destination.
Another huge fentanyl bust today also.
This mess is on the Biden administration.
Thanks, Joe
abu taleb says
How comes he can become a legal citizen? His citizenship should be revoked when he joined ISIS. But I guess, the US government prefers to fight the Christians like other western countries.
RIP western civilization.
Gurek says
The West is too busy to attack the critics and opponents of evil islam.

What a loving peaceful fellow that thinks his allah dude is all about love and compassion when allah is obviously of the Devil in a Turban.
But why bring him back to the States where he MAY get a long prison sentence and Tax Dollars will pay for his upkeep and to spread his nonsense to others.
Best to just shoot the prick in Kenya as nobody will pay any attention to one more Negro getting shot in Kenya.
