Minn. Woman Says Nephew Involved in Somali Suicide Bombing |

A St. Paul Somali woman has identified a man thought to have been involved in a suicide kaboom in Somalia as her stepson, Farah Mohamed Beledi. Mumina Roba looked at a picture of the alleged bomber and said through an interpreter: "It is him." "I'd know that nose anywhere." Authorities are still working to identify the man involved in last week's bombing in Mogadishu that killed two African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... troops and one government soldier. Beledi is among more than 20 men who left Minnesota in recent years to possibly fight with the terror group ![]() ... Harakat ash-Shabaab al-Mujahidin aka the Mujahideen Youth Movement.

#4 NS, that's bs. Assimilation doesn't need to take 3 generations if you don't want it to. My Maternal GPs both came here from Europe at the age of ~10 around 1900. They were fully assimilated by the time they were 20 as were their kids, Mom being one of them. This was true of many, many immigrants back then. It still is true today, but, only of those who WANT to be real Americans. |
