This is what happens when you invite foreigners in and do not force them to assimilate....

Extremists in Syria and Iraq targeting new generation of young American jihadists
The FBI are investigating up to 15 Somali-American men believed to have traveled from Minneapolis-St Paul, MN to follow the ISIS call to jihad
As many as 50 American jihadists believed to be fighting in the Middle East
'Outgoing party-lover' from Minneapolis and father of nine Abdirahmaan Muhumed, 29, confirmed among them
Security experts blame social media for 'blurring lines' and encouraging people to see themselves as part of jihadist movement

AK-47 aloft, his right hand raised and pointing to the sky, Abdirahmaan Muhumed, 29, stands on a Syrian hillside and stares defiantly into the camera.

Six months ago the father of nine from Minnesota was shooting hoops in Uptown Minneapolis. He was neither overtly religious nor politically vocal.

Today he is one of as many as 15 young Somali -Americans from the Twin Cities currently under investigation by the FBI for having travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

First revealed by Somali-American journalist Mukhtar Ibrahim in a report for MPR News, Muhumed is one of the latest wave of radicalized young Americans, targeted by ISIS terrorists promoting a chilling phenomenon that security experts have dubbed, ‘Jihad Cool.’

Rap videos, romanticized notions of revolution and adventure and first-hand accounts of the ‘fun’ of guerrilla war are the latest tactics used by militant recruiters as part of what experts have identified as an, ‘intensification of radicalization,’ both in the States and beyond.

One unverified propaganda video, titled 'IslamicState Work Out Video' shows masked men apparently going through an SAS style boot camp, while in testimonies, many posted on YouTube, leaders, recruiters and seasoned fighters deliver their potent message. According to recent security research, such online activity is a powerful tool that increasingly, 'prods an individual towards violence.'

A Congressional Research Center study into 18,130 entries in 2,112 online discussions from more than 15 Arabic language jihadist forums has recently revealed that 'one fifth of all discussions include an explicit call for more terrorist attacks.

'Overall two thirds of all discussions contain some form of call for our encouragement of terrorist attacks.'

Figures such as Abu Muhammad al Amriki ('the American') provide 'inspirational' footage in a bid to further the cause and swell numbers. ISIS fighter Al Amriki is one of the more high profile 'American jihadist' to have taken to the public stage. Online images of al Amriki abound, as pictures of him heavily armed and posing with his 'brothers' in Jihad vie for priority alongside videos of him fighting or proselytizing.

A video posted on YouTube in February shows him speaking in heavily accented English. Though it is not certain from where Abu Muhammad al Amriki originates, he claims to have lived in the States for 10 or 11 years before travelling to Syria and to have fought for the Al Nusrah Front, once affiliated with Al Qaeda, before becoming a jihadist for ISIS.

In recent days, tweets and social media messages posted by extremists from Britain who have already arrived in the Middle East have shown the chilling reality of 'jihad cool' writ large.

In messages that read like tips from music festival goers to fellow fans or student travellers to peers following in their footsteps, the militants urge others to join them. Travel light, bring a smart phone, but leave religious books at home to avoid suspicion at the airport they instruct.

Already 7,500 foreigners are believed to be fighting in Syria and Iraq. Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has told Congress that there are more than 50 Americans among them, believed to be waging jihad in Syria.


'Family is not gonna save me frm [sic] hell fire because muslims are getting kill[ed] and if i just sit here i will be ask in the [hereafter]'

Abdirahmaan Muhumed

The FBI has declined to release the identities of the Twin Cities Somali-Americans currently under investigation but they have confirmed that three-times married, Abdirahmaan Muhumed, is one of them.

Journalist Mukhtar Ibrahim first identified Muhumed last week and has communicated with him in brief Facebook exchanges during which, Mr Ibrahim told MailOnline, Muhumed told of his desire to ‘bring back the Caliphate (Islam State).

This piece refers only to "American jihadists believed to be fighting in the Middle East." This is also taking place in Canada, England, and France.

Sorta reminds me of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade of the Spanish Civil War.
