When young Somali immigrants aren’t pursuing jihad in the dear homeland, some of the tribe think it’s a big yuck to assault people and put it on YouTube. Several self-appointed “stars” recently mugged it up with their real names, then knocked down old people and children–the Somali Tubers were too cowardly to pick victims strong enough to fight back.

Even the normally diversity-enthralled Star Tribune reported the story with a degree of disapproval: Police on the trail of attackers shown in YouTube video.

A YouTube video of eight young men terrorizing bicyclists and pedestrians — including children and older people — in what appear to be Minneapolis and St. Paul has triggered an investigation by police in both cities.

Edited and set to music, the video shows the group of what appear to be teenagers or young men taking turns saying, “Watch this,” before knocking down victims and running away, laughing.

Somebody has put up the original Tube (HERE) that was pulled, plus a little commentary tacked on; there’s no reason to think that version won’t be pulled too. But it is available for viewing now, if you don’t mind subjecting yourself to some seriously repulsive stupid.

The good news is that the feeble-mindedness of the criminals made finding them easy for law enforcement: Police arrest 4 in videotaped assaults posted on YouTube (KARE-11 TV, Nov 19).

Also on Wednesday, one of the alleged victims came forward to report what he says happened to him.

Paul Dickinson, 71, of St. Paul said he was on his evening stroll along Grand Avenue near Avon Avenue in St. Paul when a man ran at him from behind and tackled him.

“I had no advanced warning at all, so I just fell like a stone.  I did a faceplant on the sidewalk,” Dickinson said.

Dickinson also spotted the young man running away and laughing after the attack.  It was a scene he didn’t expect to see again — until he learned of the now infamous video.  Dickinson believes his attack was one of those included in the video.

“I  think what did they do, was that on their list, they had to go tackle an old man,” he said.

Just think, we would have missed all this enriching diversity without multicultural immigration.

Political correctness kills.

Now we are learning that Dr. Hasan, the murderer of Fort Hood, was cut enormously more slack than any non-Muslim would have received. He retained his position only because of his minority status.

“Two years ago, a top psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center was so concerned about what he saw as Nidal Hasan’s incompetence and reckless behavior that he put those concerns in writing. NPR has obtained a copy of the memo, the first evaluation that has surfaced from Hasan’s file.

Officials at Walter Reed sent that memo to Fort Hood this year when Hasan was transferred there.

Nevertheless, commanders still assigned Hasan — accused of killing 13 people in a mass shooting at Fort Hood on Nov. 5 — to work with some of the Army’s most troubled and vulnerable soldiers.

The Damning Memo

On May 17, 2007, Hasan’s supervisor at Walter Reed sent the memo to the Walter Reed credentials committee. It reads, “Memorandum for: Credentials Committee. Subject: CPT Nidal Hasan.” More than a page long, the document warns that: “The Faculty has serious concerns about CPT Hasan’s professionalism and work ethic. … He demonstrates a pattern of poor judgment and a lack of professionalism.” It is signed by the chief of psychiatric residents at Walter Reed, Maj. Scott Moran.

From the Rasmussen pollsters: Obama’s decision to bestow American civil rights on the worst terrorists in court is not appreciated by a majority of citizens.

Furthermore, the imperiousness of this administration to jam through its extreme agenda despite the danger to the public is becoming very concerning. Surely al Qaeda will be inspired to mount an even more destructive attack on New York City during the trial.

“Fifty-one percent (51%) of U.S. voters oppose the Obama administration’s decision to try the confessed chief planner of the 9/11 attacks and other suspected terrorists in a civilian court in New York City.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 29% of voters favor the president’s decision not to try the suspects by military tribunal at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba where they are now imprisoned. Nineteen percent (19%) are not sure whether it was the right decision or not.

Only 30% of Americans said suspected terrorists should have access to U.S. courts, while 54% favored military tribunals in July 2008, as the first such tribunal got under way at Guantanamo.

Still, 58% of voters now are at least somewhat confident that New York City will be safe and secure while the trials are going on. Yet only 20% are very confident of that fact. Thirty-eight percent (38%) are not very or not at all confident that New York will be safe during this period. “51% Oppose Decision To Try Terrorists in New York City [11/17/09]

Thomas Sowell nails the stunning arrogance: Obama’s Bow to “World Opinion”

“In the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in federal court, as if they were American citizens accused of crimes.

Terrorists are not even entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention, much less the Constitution of the United States. Terrorists have never observed, nor even claimed to have observed, the Geneva Convention, nor are they among those covered by it.

But over and above the utter inconsistency of what is being done is the utter recklessness it represents. The last time an attack on the World Trade Center was treated as a matter of domestic criminal justice was after a bomb was exploded there in 1993. Under the rules of American criminal law, the prosecution had to turn over all sorts of information to the defense— information that told the Al Qaeda international terrorist network what we knew about them and how we knew it.”

Islam meets soccer in France… what could possibly go wrong?

European soccer fans can get rowdy even under normal circumstances, but throw Islam plus immigrant nationalism into the mix, and the situation becomes still more incendiary, as shown in Saturday’s fracas. The port city of Marseille experienced an outbreak of serious rioting when local Algerians became miffed at their team’s poor showing in a World Cup qualifier match that took place in Cairo.

Authorities sent in more than 500 police to restore order on the streets — diversity doesn’t come cheap.

Violence in Marseille over Algeria, Egypt soccer, Reuters, November 14, 2009

Rioters smashed shop windows, hurled stones at police and set fire to several boats moored in the southern French port of Marseille after Egypt beat Algeria in a soccer World Cup qualifying match on Saturday.

A police spokesman said more than 500 officers were deployed in the centre of Marseille, an often volatile city with a large North African immigrant population and football supporters who are considered among the most passionate in France.

Egypt won the match, which was played in Cairo, 2-0.

Police said they had made eight arrests, mostly for throwing objects, while one man was arrested for setting fire to a rubbish bin.

At least six boats were damaged and two were sunk when a fire was sparked by a smoke bomb of the kind seen frequently in French football stadiums.

The President who thinks we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about Dr. Hasan’s Jihad doesn’t want an investigation to clarify the facts either. What possible good could come from covering up this attack? Does he think Americans will forget about the first terrorism on our soil since 9/11?

President Barack Obama on Saturday urged Congress to hold off on any investigation of the Fort Hood rampage until federal law enforcement and military authorities have completed their probes into the shootings at the Texas Army post, which left 13 people dead.

On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to “resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater.” He said those who died on the nation’s largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft.

“The stakes are far too high,” Obama said in a video and Internet address released by the White House while the president he was flying from Tokyo to Singapore, where Pacific Rim countries were meeting.

Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, was charged on Thursday with the shooting spree at Fort Hood last week. Army investigators have said Hasan is the only suspect and could face additional charges. [Obama urges Congress to put off Fort Hood probe, November 14, 2009 ]

Meanwhile, several soldiers’ funerals are scheduled for Saturday. Sgt. Amy Krueger’s casket was on view in her high school in Kiel, Wisconsin, shown below.

The Fort Hood shooter was not as assimilated to American values as the protectors of diversity would have you believe.

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused.

In response, Hoekstra issued a document preservation request to four intelligence agencies. The letter, dated November 7th, was sent to directors Dennis Blair (DNI), Robert Mueller (FBI), Lt. Gen Keith Alexander (NSA) and Leon Panetta (CIA).

Hoekstra said he is “absolutely furious” that the house intel committee has been refused an intelligence briefing by the DNI or CIA on Hasan’s attempt to reach out to al Qaeda, as first reported by ABC News.

“This is a law enforcement investigation, in which other agencies–not the CIA–have the lead,” CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in a response to ABC News. ” Any suggestion that the CIA refused to brief Congress is incorrect.” [Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda,November 9, 2009 ]

How curious that information about Hasan’s fondness for terrorism is being squelched.

Another item of jihadist evidence is the card which Hasan handed out along with Korans (reported by Atlas): It reads SoA under his name, meaning “Soldier of Allah.”

Furthermore, the feigned shock of the Army that Muslims in the American military would go jihad is belied by the list from WND noting “At least a dozen other Muslim soldiers have been convicted of terrorism or espionage since 9/11.” If the military doesn’t think there is a Muslim terrorist problem in its ranks, then it is not paying attention or is in serious denial.

Army Didn’t Want To Appear Too “Anti-Muslim”, Hasan Had Links To Hijackers.

Technology is taking all the romance out of dating and marriage in Somalia, where traditionalists miss the good old days when camels were exchanged for a bride. But now, the mobile phone has made “marriage” and divorce easy to manage. The quickie marriages are more like meet-ups for sex (followed by rapid divorces), but Islam insists that certain formalities be observed.

It helps that Islamic divorce is famously easy for Muslim males to obtain: under talaq a fellow has only to say, “I divorce you” three times, and Allah is happy with the split. (Women have no such freedom under sharia, of course.)

[Somalia cheap mobile calls help youngsters elope, Al Arabiya News Channel, November 6, 2009]

Somali courtship was different in Hassan Aden’s day. When he was a teenager, you gave the girl’s parents 11 camels and an AK-47 assault rifle as bride price and then waited respectfully.

Now, the 55-year-old said, a mobile phone service that seems to be the only thing working in the failed Horn of Africa state is helping drive a rise in elopements, pregnancies out of marriage and a steady erosion of Somalia’s conservative values. [...]

The cheap calls and extended mobile network in the Horn of Africa nation make it easier for Somalis to get in touch with willing partners and arrange quick assignations.

Traditional Somali marriages used to be long-planned, intricately arranged affairs normally determined by clan and sub-clan elders. But some now prefer a less formal kind of marriage, which is essentially elopement, because they do not have the economic means to face a prospective father-in-law. [...]

“I don’t think I’d be sane if it were not for the ‘Qudbasiro’, free-of-charge secret marriages,” the unemployed secondary school graduate told Reuters, sitting cross-legged on a ragged mattress and sending a text message with his phone.

“I’ve divorced nine women already. Voluntary brides and cheap phone services, it is the only life we have.”

In other news from sharia-run Somalia, an adulterer was stoned to death but the local Islamists have spared his pregnant girlfriend until she gives birth.

I wrote about this case of crime diversity in May: Diversity Is Strength! It’s Also… African “Refugee” Kidnappers In Virginia. The trial is finished and the sentences are in — 5 1/2 years for the Africans and 4 1/2 years for the American.

The plot was bizarre, carefully planned and amateurishly executed: To make money in America, three young men from refugee families set out to find a wealthy woman, abduct her from her home and hold her for ransom.

It all unraveled as soon as Audrey Levicki answered the door to her Southwest Roanoke County home.

Suspicious that the two men were not the Red Cross volunteers they claimed to be, Levicki braced the door with her foot and then slammed it shut on the arm of the one who tried to reach inside.

The two men ran off, despite months of planning and a getaway car waiting at the end of the driveway with rope, handcuffs and other tools of a kidnapping. The duo was quickly arrested along with two accomplices, setting in motion a series of unintended consequences that culminated Monday at a sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Roanoke.

Levicki, whose intended fate was to be held in a rundown camper until her captors could collect up to $1 million from her corporate executive husband, said that she is now a prisoner in her own home.

“My life went to hell on April 6,” Levicki said in a statement to Judge James Turk, recounting how the incident led to fearful days, sleepless nights and a loss of security so profound that she no longer ventures outside to feed the dog unless armed with a baseball bat.

For the three African natives who tried to kidnap Levicki — Luke Musa Elbino, 20; Mohammed Hussein Guhad, 20; and Joshua Kasongo, 19 — the consequences went beyond the five-and-a-half-year prison terms they received at the end of a daylong hearing.

Once they are released from prison, the three face almost certain deportation back to Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda — countries their families fled when they were boys to escape civil war and genocide.

And how diverse was the sentencing hearing? Very.

At times, the hearing bordered on surreal. On one side of the jam-packed courtroom, residents of an affluent suburban neighborhood sat in support of Levicki. Across the aisle — and from halfway across the world — sat the friends and families of the defendants. Many of them refugees, some were dressed in colorful native robes and headscarves.

Emotions ran high all day; court was recessed after Elbino’s sister fainted and fell from her seat in the gallery. At another point, a spectator pointed his finger skyward and chanted an African song.
[Bizarre case of abduction comes to end, Roanoke Times, November 3, 2009]

Theoretically, the wanna-be kidnappers could have gotten life in prison, but that wasn’t going to happen, given they were all young and had no priors. Five years in prison would be considered a tough sentence in some quarters, and it’s likely the strong victim statement was important in putting these dangerous characters in the slammer at all.

The do-gooders were shocked that such a crime could happen. “They went through terror themselves, so I couldn’t imagine them inflicting that on anyone else,” testified Barbara Smith, a retired refugee resettlement professional.

But experience has shown that war-traumatized children may grow into troubled, violently criminal adults. The Refugee Industrial Complex has no business dumping these human time bombs into American communities without proper oversight at the least.

One revealing statistic: An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Lost Boys suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, which can lead to substance abuse, depression and domestic violence. The thousands of Lost Boys, who were orphaned by war in Sudan, have been beloved among the professional do-gooders for their uplifting tale of success against long odds. However, the psychological disorders and crimes that erupt years later don’t get the headlines. Nobody wants to hear the criminal downside of cultural diversity, which is the real story.

It’s infuriating to see another honor killing in America. Noor Almaleki (pictured) died after being run down by her father and spending nearly two weeks unconscious in a hospital.

A young Iraqi woman whose father allegedly hit her with his car because she had become too Westernized died from her injuries Monday after laying in a coma for nearly two weeks.

Noor Faleh Almaleki, 20, underwent spinal surgery and had been in a hospital since Oct. 20, when police say her father ran down her and her boyfriend’s mother with his Jeep as the women were walking across a parking lot in the west Phoenix suburb of Peoria.

The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is expected to survive.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, fled after the attack but was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta’s airport, where he was sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance.

Peoria police interviewed him and brought him back to Arizona over the weekend, but have declined to release what Almaleki said to them.

At a court hearing over the weekend in Phoenix, county prosecutor Stephanie Low told a judge that Almaleki admitted to committing the crime.

“By his own admission, this was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family,” Low said. “This was an attempt at an honor killing.” [Woman hit with car by Iraqi father in Ariz. dies, San Francisco Chronicle, November 3, 2009 ]

Say, how about mandatory capital punishment for anyone convicted of honor killing in America? That would send a nice message about assimilation to western values.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by hostile Muslim Mohammed Bouyeri because he perceived the artist’s message was anti-Islam. What fueled the killer’s fury was how the film Submission showed Islam’s inherent brutality toward women. (Watch Part 1 of Submission on YouTube.)

The anniversary of the attack prompted foreign journalists to check on the multicultural tensions and Muslim radicalisation in the Dutch capital. The Netherlands’ immigration issues have remained high on the agenda, fuelled by populist politician Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV). But no attacks, home grown or from outside, have taken place since November 2, 2004.

That was the morning Mohammed B. followed Theo van Gogh on his bicycle before he shot him eight times with a handgun. The 47-year-old filmmaker fell to the ground, where his assassin slit his throat and pinned a note to his body with a knife. The note was a death threat to Ayaan Hirsi Ali with whom Van Gogh had made the short film Submission, about the abuse of women under Islam, and called for jihad.

B., son of Moroccan immigrants, was born and raised in Amsterdam. “The turnaround in his behaviour happened in this building”, Achmed Marcouch told reporters on a tour of the Amsterdam immigrant neighbourhood Slotervaart last week. Marcouch has been Slotervaart’s borough chairman since 2006 and the building he showed the journalists was the community centre Eigenwijks, where B. was a volunteer. He is now serving a life sentence for the murder. [Immigrant tensions remain five years after Van Gogh killing 11/02/09]

(It’s kind of bizarre that this Dutch news site [NRC Handelsblad] doesn’t use the killer’s name, since he is in the slammer and is not entitled to any deference.)

At a time when Lou Dobbs reports a shot fired at his home, the physical security of people who insist that immigration be legal remains a matter for concern.

The Dutch Defence League put up this video remembering Van Gogh a couple days ago.
