Over 6000 Somalian followers of Mohammad live in Maine and are ready to answer the call of their prophet on a moments notice.
Al-Shabbab is a religious organization that follows the Koran and Sunnah, the sayings and practices of Mohammad.
al-Shabbab We’re just a phone call away!
“The FBI tells me that it continues to remain concerned about efforts by al-Shabab to recruit Americans in Maine,” Collins said in a statement to the Portland Press Herald. “We haven’t arrested anyone yet, but we know that they all follow the same Koran and Sunnah and sayings and practices of Mohammad that the Westgate Mall terrorists in Kenya followed.
The growing Somali community and al-Shabaad recruits in Portland and Lewistown said they didn’t know anything about it.
The organization has recruited young men from Minneapolis and Maine – homes to the nation’s largest Somali-American community – and even used the recruits in sophisticated propaganda videos. Several of those men have since been killed fighting for al-Shabab in Africa.
One person was listed as coming from Maine, leading to speculation that someone had been recruited from one of the state’s Somali-American communities.
Kenyan officials and al-Shabab have since released conflicting information, with each side outdoing the lies of the other side. But the people killed by Muslims following the practices of Mohammad don’t care.
Somalis in Maine Debate Mall Massacre With Many Supporting the Attack
A heated debate has erupted among Somali refugees in the U.S. over the slaughter of civilians in the Kenyan shopping mall, highlighting what U.S. intelligence officials fear is fertile recruiting ground for Islamic jihadists.
As the bloody showdown played out in Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, it was at the center of a card game behind the Portland Halal Market Sunday night.
By day, the store sells camel and goat meat to East Africans, who now number roughly 6,000 in Maine, settling in cities like Portland, Lewiston and Auburn. After hours, a dusty room behind the store becomes a community social club.
When the conversation turned to Kenya, the room erupted in debate in a smattering of broken English and Arabic dialects between the men playing cards and sipping tea on ramshackle furniture.
Ahmed Hasaan, 49, slapped his hand on the table, sending cards flying, and glowered at his opponent.
“It is shameful to Somalia! Shameful!” Hasaan, 49, said. “Innocents. We should offer condolence and prayers. No support to the Shabaab.”
Across the table, Abdiaziziz Abtieon, 27, disagreed.
