Who Funded This Somali Terrorist Wannabe? Hello Fox News?
Al Qaeda is not the only one using kids for terror acts. Others are doing it too.

CALIFORNIA, US—Recently, a nineteen-year-old Somali-American was accused of having the intention to blow up a Christmas-related gathering in Portland, Oregon. Cases like this one show there are people out there who have the potential to commit such acts.

Question is: Why is it that most of these would-be terrorists or suicide bombers emerging these days are Muslim teenagers or young adults?
These individuals are sometimes trained to believe what they are doing is a true call for Jihad.
The question is: Who is calling these kids to Jihad?
Jihad is an inner struggle to stand up for peace and what is right. Jihad is to stand up for justice, for the oppressed, for the hungry, and for the poor. Also, if a call for collective Jihad is made by people in authority, then not just one teenager but a whole wave of people will step up and nobody would be able to stop them.
However, nowadays, outside forces are using this passion for Islam for their own gains and twisted goals or evil hidden agendas.
Who are these people? They target young people, because they know these kids have the Islamic passion and can be emotionally charged up quickly. Or is it the FBI targeting young Muslims because the FBI is paranoid and wants to get kids emotionally charged to get them before they get Americans? Or may be some interest groups or governments hiring corrupted mullahs to brainwash kids to do such acts?
All of these possibilities exist but get overlooked. One thing is for sure, however. How can a kid like this 19-year-old be funded in the United States, a country where Muslims are now watched 24/7? An individual his age obviously cannot do everything by himself alone. Did anyone bring this question up? Hello Fox News? Who funds these kids?
Of course, it is easy to just blame FBI, or Mossad, or CIA but at the end of the day, outside forces like these are only effective when Muslims are vulnerable and weak.

THIS IS A BITTER REALITY WHICH WE ALL ARE DENYING PURPOSLY.
No sane person would ever deny the facts. However, the fabricated ones are difficult to digest.
Fox News is the most biased channel in USA. We need to ask them ” who is funding them to air this kind of propaganda ? ”
Rizwan is absolutely right is explaining the meanings of Jihad.
Unfortunately people, who have vested & invested interests against Muslims, talk just out of context & give their own meanings & views on certain matters ALL relating to Muslims.
Muslims should be ready to counter this kind of media trial against them.
Journalism is a great profession & should be used impartially as such, not letting it down for self interests.
Best Regards.
