You are right Murax, the Somalis are on the radar because most of their parents aren't as well educated as the other Muslims who have established themselves in the U.S longer than them. Within these Arab communities, they also aren't divided into tribes where the child grows up into listening to Somalia's fragile tribal politics. These kids become disillusioned with their own identity and seek one that incorporates them and that is what they find from the social media. They find technologically savvy and charismatic propagandist Jihadis with horror videos depicting as a war between Islam and non-Muslims (we all are included in the later group for not believing their propaganda) and they offer them a justification and a stage to fight back and a belonging to an "ummah". They are groomed and brainwashed to hate everything and everyone who doesn't share their views. The parents don't have the knowledge to monitor what and who their children are communicating with and are busy organising a dinner party for their next of kin tribal president from TimberLand or demonstrating against another one visiting their shores. So technically, the blame lies on our tribally divided society.Murax wrote:.
Thuganomics,
Overall though I'm just wondering why Somalis are at the forefront of this stuff? There is a reason why in the anti extremism summit in the US one of the main locations Where a anti extremism campaign was launched was in MN. Why not Dearborn MI, Buffalo, NY which are almost 70% Arab?
Btw, the vast majority of Dearborn MI Muslims are Shia and they have nothing to do with "Sunni Jihadists". Buffalo Yemenis have seen their fair share of terrorism busts. Have you heard of the Buffalo Six or the Lackawanna terror case?
