He may be dead, but those jihadis who recruited him are still on the loose in Washington, no doubt recruiting others. "An American Jihadi in Somalia and His Washington Friends in al Qaeda," from the Jawa Report, January 13:We reported last month that Washington state jihadi Ruben Shumpert (a.k.a. Amir Abdul Muhaimeen) was recently killed in Somalia fighting for the al Qaeda linked al Shebaab. You'll recall that Shumpert actually called the FBI from Somalia mocking their efforts to capture him. All's well that ends well, eh?
The group has now released a "biography" of Shumpert which recounts his childhood in a rough neighborhood, how he converted to Islam in jail, and how he eventually went to Somalia for the jihad. You can read the entire bio here.
But perhaps the most important piece of the story is an admission that Shumpert turned to the Salafi strand of Islam after he met with some Muslims in Washington who had recently returned from fighting the jihad in Chechnya:
Allah guided him to the path of righteousness, when he met some brothers who had returned from Chechnya. He became acquainted with them, and they provided him with some educational and jihadi video recordings. Our knight was very fond of Shaykh Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, may Allah have mercy on him, and he hoped to join [Zarqawi] in Mesopotamia.
In the bio we learn that these friends were not the Somalians who later convinced Shumpert to heed the call of Zawahiri and join the jihad in Somalia.
So, who are Ruben Shumpert's friends who had been to Chechnya and are they still on the loose in Washington?
Muslims like this are running around our country. We need to hunt them down and expell them. If they are a US citizen they need to be tried for treason and exported to some muslim country where they will feel right at home. Or, just kill them.
