A kid from Somalia comes to America at age 5 and is miraculously radicalized by the age of 15 and ready to commit violent jihad by 19 because…? Why? What happened to Mo Mo (as his friends at the dorm called him–see post nearby) to cause him to suddenly go batty four years ago? We get a clue from the FBI document:
“Mohamud said that it was when he turned 15, and he explained that during Ramadan someone told him about the martyrs and the virtues, and Mohamud, “didn’t even need to hear about anything else.” Elaborating, Mohamud said, “this is a decision I made and if, if this [the truth] you know…and if you don’t sacrifice your own kids, when will victory come you know. There has to be sacrifice before you know any progress is made anywhere, anything.”

These last three represent a “broad strata” of Canadian society, according to Mike McDonnell, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a man who must have aced sensitivity training class. To the casual observer, the broad strata would seem to be a very singular stratum: In their first appearance in court, 12 men arrested in that Ontario plot requested the Koran.
Where was our boy radicalized? We might want to check in with the Muslim Student Association and its home Mosque in Corvallis (see nearby post).
