CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 9, 2026
THE FBI SAYS IT THWARTED A PLOY BY A YOUNG MAN WHO HAD PLEDGED LOYALTY TO ISIS AND PLANNED TO SHOOT-UP THE MALL OF AMERICA IN MINNESOTA. 18 YEAR-OLD SHEIKDOON MOUHAMED WAS CHARGED WITH OBTAINING A FIREARM WITH INTENT TO COMMIT TERRORISM. HE WAS ARRESTED AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO BUY AN AK-47 AND 200 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION FROM AN UNDERCOVER FBI EMPLOYEE.
IN A MESSAGE TO AN FBI INFORMANT, HE SAID HE HOPED TO KILL AS MANY AS 60 PEOPLE BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THE OWNERS OF THE MALL OF AMERICA ARE JEWISH.
THE FBI SAYS IT HAS BEEN TRACKING THE GUY SINCE 2024 WHEN HE WAS 16. HE IS PART OF A LARGE SOMALI GROUP IN MINNESOTA WHICH PRESIDENT BIDEN ALLOWED IN WHEN THE BORDER WAS OPEN. REPRESENTATIVE ILHAN OMAR, A SOMALI, REPRESENTS THEM IN CONGRESS. HE IS ALSO AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. IT IS OF MORE THAN OF SOME INTEREST THAT HIS PARENTS TRIED TO STOP THE FBI FROM TALKING TO HIM.
EXPECT MORE OF THIS AS LONG AS WE HAVE PEOPLE LIKE MOHAMOUD IN THE COUNTRY. KUDOS FOR THE FBI FOR TAKING DOWN THIS GUY BEFORE HE MURDERED DOZENS OF INNOCENTS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
