Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison (Dem.Minn.) Seeks To Ensure The Safe Return Of Somali
Rep. Ellison says U.S. trying to ensure safe return of missing Somalis
by Laura Yuen
St. Paul, Minn.
Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison said the U.S. government is trying to ensure the safe return of some of the young Somali-American men believed to be fighting with a terrorist group in their homeland.
Ellison said he has been included in classified briefings about efforts to bring the missing men back to the Twin Cities.
At least four Somali-American men from Minnesota who left to fight in the Horn of Africa have died there in recent months.
One of youngest, a skinny teenager from Minneapolis named Burhan Hassan, was trying to leave the fighting and make his way to the U.S. embassy in neighboring Kenya, according to family members. They believe a fellow member of the extremist group Al-Shabaab shot Hassan to death when the group learned of his plans to escape.
Congressman Keith Ellison thinks the U.S. should try to retrieve the Minnesotan men who may have been misled into joining Al-Shabaab and want out.
"We can't have a knee-jerk emotional reaction," Ellison said. "We've got to have an intelligent reaction. If a young person says, 'I have been lied to. I don't like these people. I want to get away from them,' we should help them do that, as long as we know that does not create a public safety issue for Minnesotans and Americans."

I may have overlooked it but I hit the link, listened to the broadcast and read the broadcast. I didn't see or hear where the Somali-Americans were U. S. citizens. They left to fight with Islamist nutjobs. Why would anyone want them back here on U. S. soil?

I can't think of a better place to send this terrorist than Minnesota. The state that gave us Al Franken and Ellison deserve it.

So, the young muzzies were lied to by other muzzies. I guess they did not study their koran enough. Lying to achieve your objective is a tenet of islam. May piss be upon them.

Bob A., it is kind of confusing I agree.
I did post awhile back about how a few of
the somali's were leaving the USA to go
fight along with their terrorist friends.
I figured those are the ones, but it also
says these are no citizens. So maybe it is
a little of both, it is confusing though.

BobF., it is something how that State
has really gone anti-American. As a kid
I went there several times and it sure
has changed.

Well we use to play Cowboys and Indians, maybe its time for Cowboys and Muzzies. Only this time there are no ROEs. Quid pro quo, just like they play.
Obama's like a slinky, not good for anything. But he still brings a smile to your face when you push him down a flight of stairs.
