Three blocks from where Mohamad Barakat opened fire on police officers and firefighters, the Islamic Society of Fargo-Moorhead squats across from a school bus company. Nearby are other elements of the new enclave like the Somali Community Development group which offers English and citizenship classes and the Al Hamdi Restaurant from whose vicinity an eyewitness reported hearing the shots that took the life of one police officer and wounded two others.
Officially authorities claim to be baffled by Mohamad’s decision to open fire on cops and firefighters, but the decision by the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and the bomb squad to search Mohamad’s apartment suggests that they privately have an explosive motive in mind.
“The first thing we always want to know in a situation like this is, ‘Why?”Why would somebody do this?'” Chief David Zibolski wondered. Perhaps he should ask in Fargo’s own Little Mogadishu and inquire of the politicians who turned Fargo into a refugee camp.
If Mohamad acted in the name of Islam, it would not be the first terror attack from Fargo.
In 2016, Dahir Adan, a Somali refugee who penetrated the country along with a massive family that was tragically resettled in Fargo, went on a stabbing spree in a St. Cloud, MN mall. The Somali refugee had gone around the mall shouting “Allahu Akbar” dedicating the violence to his Islamic deity, and demanding to know if potential targets were Muslims before stabbing them.
ISIS claimed credit for the attack after Adam, like Mohamad, was fatally shot and killed, but not until after he stabbed 10 Americans. Fargo Muslims however quickly rushed to play the victim.
“Somali mall workers are afraid to go to their jobs today. I was even afraid to use public restrooms,” Hukun Abdullahi, a local nonprofit leader, had claimed.
Moorhead Mayor Del Rae Williams admitted that her biggest concern from the Muslim terrorist attack was that, “the more we make, you know, these kind of things an issue, the more people are abusive to (refugees) publicly.”
Police Chief David Todd denied, “I don’t have any indication that radicalization is occurring here in Fargo.” Seven years later, Officer Jake Wallin, who had survived Afghanistan and Iraq, was murdered by a Muslim attacker in Fargo. There’s never any indication until someone dies.
The violent attacks by Mohamad Barakat and Dahir Adan may surprise people who still think of Fargo, North Dakota as quintessentially American. Refugee resettlement has changed that.
8% of Fargo is foreign born. Much of that population comes from the Middle East and Islamic areas in Africa like Sudan and Somalia. Even much of the European refugee contingent is Bosnian. The massive influx of refugee resettlement allowed local politicians to boast that Fargo was growing much faster than the rest of the state or the country.
Fargo’s population shot up from 74,000 in 1990 to 90,000 in 2000 to 128,000 today. Somalis flooded Fargo, as did Iraqis, Bosnians and Bangladeshis. Amid the pure snows rose mosques, ethnic welfare nonprofits, Halal markets and other outposts of the new population.
By 2000, six hundred Somali families occupied Fargo, by 2004, Somalis outnumbered Hispanics in the Fargo public school system. Refugee resettlement, led by Lutheran Social Services, continued bombarding the state with foreign migrants, 70% of them embedded into the Fargo area.
“Millennials who are increasingly working in these jobs like to have a multicultural area that has differences in people,” Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney contended. “We really need a diverse population to be more like a normal American city.”
When Fargo City Commissioner Dave Piepkorn had warned that millions of taxpayer dollars were being spent on refugee resettlement and that the area was becoming more dangerous, Somalis launched a recall campaign. Piepkorn has since been stripped of Deputy Mayor status.
Little wonder that few elected officials have had the courage to speak out against what is being done to Fargo and North Dakota.
Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota, its coffers swollen by dumping migrants from Islamic terror states on the area, suddenly faced a dieback under the Trump administration. The organization filed for bankruptcy and shut down in 2021, but rather than offering any relief, things actually got worse for Fargo and North Dakota.
Under Republican Gov. Doug Burgum, the former head of Lutheran Social Services, became the Executive Policy Director at the state’s Department of Human Services. Burgum, who is now running for president, announced that the state would take over refugee resettlement from Lutheran Social Services. Burgum had previously turned down an offer from the Trump administration to allow governors to end the practice of refugee dumping.
While Gov. Burgum claimed that the state would handle the invasion more responsibly than Lutheran Social Services had, bringing in the head of LSS put the lie to any such notion. Gov. Burgum had proclaimed that April would be Arab American Heritage Month, not to honor the Christian Lebanese, actual refugees who had first fled Islamic terror to move to North Dakota, but those Muslims who “built the first mosque in the United States of America.”
By 2022, the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service North Dakota had taken over for the LSS and 78 Afghans, along with Syrians, Somalis and Iraqis were being resettled in the state.
That same year Rep. Hamida Dakane, who wears a hijab, became the first Somali legislator in the state House of Representatives from a district in Fargo. Dakane had found fame after an alleged vandalism incident at the Moorhead Fargo Islamic Center, holding up a “Hate Has No Home in Moorhead” sign as representatives of “Lutheran, Catholic, Presbyterian and Satanism” movements gathered to help. Then she joined Fargo’s Human Rights Commission.
“I am not representing a Muslim state,” Dakane, who entered this country on a student visa, noted. “There is a lot of things in Islam that doesn’t align with Democrats, but that doesn’t apply to the community.”
Mohamad Barakat may have had less patience waiting for North Dakota to become Islamic.
Fargo is slowly getting there. Somali restaurants, halal markets and ethnic associations are dotting the map. Especially around the area where Mohamad Barkat murdered a police officer. School districts are spending a fortune dealing with non-English speakers, primarily Somalis and Kurds, and a great deal of money goes to subsidize Headstart and food stamps.
Gangs proliferate trafficking in drugs and prostitution. And worse crimes appear and disappear.
Omar Mohamed Kalmio, a Somali refugee who shot and killed his American Sioux girlfriend, her mother, brother and another family member in nearby Minot, is still fighting his life sentence. Kalmio should have been in ICE custody after he and a group of Somalis had previously stabbed a man in the back with a knife.
In Grand Forks, Hawo Osman Ahmed, had allegedly threatened women with a knife. “Come over here I’m going to cut you,” she had warned, “I’m going to slice your neck.”
“I feel like I’m a Muslim woman who’s being attacked because I am a Muslim woman living in Grand Forks,” she later complained.
Authorities generally steer clear of such cases if they know what’s good for them. The prosecution of a sex trafficking ring by the Somali Outlaws gang across the country which allegedly involved girls as young as twelve was shut down by federal authorities, advocates and political pressure amid claims of racism, Islamophobia and cultural differences .
“We are heartbroken by this tragic loss,” Gov. Burgum said in response to the Somali act of violence that killed one police officer and wounded two others. “We also pray for the full recovery of the officers and civilian who were wounded in this horrible incident.”
‘Horrible incidents’ like these could be averted by ending refugee resettlement.
Gov. Burgum refused to end refugee resettlement when he had the opportunity to do so. The blood of the victims of refugee resettlement are on the hands of those who enable it.
Annie45 says
And one of the shticks of Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar-
besides the one of virulent anti-Semitism – is her endless complaints
that America is rife with White supremacism and racism against
black and brown people, especially refugees. Any criticism against
Somalis in her own state or anywhere else elicits shrieks of “Islamophobia”.
Somalia is a terrorist state whose citizens are devoted to Islam. Somali
refugees who settle here are just as devoted to domination of Islam, both
through Jihadist terror and other means.
TruthSerum says
Burgum is the biggest problem ND faces right now. Anyone who claims to be conservative and does not see this, is uneducated. The liberals should live this guy as much as the RINOs.
Ugly Sid says
The singleton solution for the presence of Islam is its absence.
Allahu-Akbar attacks are what they do. Islam’s “theology” requires treachery, rape, homicide. Islam literally lives in perpetual war with the rest of mankind.
It is our right as Americans to live free from this threat.
I want them rounded up and expelled.
Steve says
And take our precious backstabbing governor with them!
Bob Smith says
How to stop islam – Use RICO-M3
It’s simple. We already have criminal enterprise statutes. Islam is a (cult) criminal enterprise.
American RICO statutes (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) were intended to go after the mafia. The acts of Islamic mullahs and jihadis clearly falls into the same pattern as the mafia. The only difference being, Islam’s claim of an oddball form of “religious legitimacy”.
The US should use the RICO statutes to, declare islam, a criminal enterprise. Then close Islam down as it presently exists in the US.
RICO allows the government to follow crime and money. Then, arrest all, and confiscate anything in its path.
You can be sure the movement of money for jihad is widespread. You can be sure the incitement and communication between mullahs and mosques is wide spread. You can also be sure there is foreign involvement. The RICO statutes were made just for this type of activity.
Use a small army of CPAs and attorneys to investigate every jihad attack. Follow 100% of the money back to its source. Track anyone involved, in any way. Then use the RICO statutes to jail, confiscated, and shut down all involved. That includes:
M1 – Shutting down mosques involved in any jihad attack.
M2 – Arrest mullahs involved.
M3 – Follow, and confiscate, all jihad money back to its source.

Under Biden’s DOJ?
Don Davenport says
They leave their sharia shit hole to turn the country they migrate to into a sharia shit hole.
David Ray says
Exactly.
That’s why shithead politicians aren’t dumping these 3rd world islamists in Martha’s Vineyard, Santa Barbara, Malibu, etc.
When Trump takes office, he should encamp 1,000s of Somalis next to the Bidens, the Pelosis, Ken doll Newsome, etc
Then when the protection detail for *Biden makes the case that those migrants pose a danger, Trump should say “By God, you’re right! Guess we’ll just have to deport them.”
Jeff Bargholz says
Same as the beaners flee the shit-holes they created to create one here.
David Mu says
There is no moderate Islam.
Phil Hartmark says
The “moderate” muslims are the ones who cheer their fellow mohammedans who knife, shoot, behead, and blow up the kafir
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, the ones who hold you down while the more devout ones saw your head off.
Jumpmaster173 says
Just like Europe committing cultural suicide with letting “Muslim invaders” into their countries…the US is slowly doing the very same thing. Once the “Muslim invaders” are in place…..they start out breeding more invaders, enforcing “no go zones” in their areas, do not assimilate, get everything just about free from the government. People need to start waking up to the fact that Islam is slowly, but very surely making in roads in the US. Stop being so damn politically correct with them. The politicians need to wake up! We are at war!
Steve says
I wonder if North Dakota is also receiving people fleeing the Islamization of Minneapolis. It’d be terrible to flee the Twin Cities for a place even colder and more desolate, only to find it’s a smaller version of the Islamic Hellhole one had fled.
internalexile says
One can easily imagine that there will soon be no quiet, nice place left to “move to.”
Craig Austin says
Anyone who leaves a peaceful and harmonious country like Somolia for a war torn racist, sexist, hellhole like America, must have a severe mental illness. This seems obvious.
Rich Kozlovich says
I keep saying this over and over again. Islam isn’t a religion. It’s a criminal, political, terrorist movement masquerading as a religion, and we have 1400 years of history that proves it.
Bonnie loranger says
I totally agree with you
THX 1138 says
Lutheran Social Services must be translated to Christian Social Services and that must be translated to Altruist Social Services.
What is the common denominator of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Marxist Globalism? At the core of all of them is the predominating evil moral code of altruism. The moral code which indoctrinates the individual into believing that self-sacrifice is his highest virtue and duty of man and self-preservation is selfish and selfishness is immoral.
Self-preservation is based on a moral code of rational selfishness. To preserve America as the land of the free and sovereign individual America requires a moral revolution. A moral revolution which champions self-preservation by defending selfishness, selfishness properly defined; rational selfishness. Nothing less will achieve freedom, liberty, the personal pursuit of happiness, i.e., Laissez-Faire Capitalism, which is the American way of life.
“From her start, America was torn by the clash of her political system with the altruist morality. Capitalism and altruism are incompatible; they are philosophical opposites; they cannot co-exist in the same man or in the same society. Today, the conflict has reached its ultimate climax; the choice is clear-cut: either a new morality of rational self-interest, with its consequences of freedom, justice, progress and man’s happiness on earth—or the primordial morality of altruism, with its consequences of slavery, brute force, stagnant terror and sacrificial furnaces.” – Ayn Rand
Mo de Profit says
Would you rather live in a land based on Judaea Christian values or an atheist one?
Intrepid says
I think he would prefer the land based on Judaeo Christian values because he knows he won’t get arrested and tortured. He is basically a coward.
He would have been put away years ago in a totalitarian society. Of course he actually believes he lives under tyranny.
Intrepid says
Must get boring typing the same atheist garbage each and everyday.
Basically your Objectivism For Dummies course consists of the following:
Altruism…bad.
Jesus…..bad
Christianity…………bad
Judaism…….bad
Judeo-Christianity is Leftism……bad
Judaism and Christianity are oriental…..bad
Christianity prepared the ground for modern totalitarianism….bad
Medieval Christianity was a totalitarian system…..bad
God and magical thinking…….bad
Atheism….good
Greeks……good
Christian Dark Age….bad
Renaissance and enlightenment …..good
Greek philosophers……good
Christian philosophers…….bad
selfishness “properly defined”, rational selfishness….good
Objectivist reason and reality….good
Altruism…bad.
Repeat ad infinitum. The Big Lie in practice.
And there we have the simplistic world according to our rezidentura fraud…..THX
Intrepid says
Well, we are way past Fargo the Movie, aren’t we.
THX 1138 says
Thanks in no small part to the Christian ALTRUISM of Lutheran Social Services. And thanks to the hand in glove union of Religion and State.
Did I ever tell ya the Lutherans were staunch altruist supporters of Adolf?
Steve says
Scandinavians are mostly Lutheran as are people from northern and eastern regions of Germany, and the Scandinavian countries are especially prone to obsequiousness toward Islam and a fierce hostility toward Jews, which is insane given the minute number of Jews living in Scandinavia. Both Minnesota and North Dakota were heavily settle by Scandinavians, before Somalis and Arabs began to displace them.
Norway banned Jews from even entering the country until 1851, and banned kosher slaughter in 1929, supposedly on “humane” grounds (odd in a country that harpoons whales and clubs seals to death for their pelts). Sweden followed suit in 1938, copying a Nazi “humane slaughter” law almost verbatim. The worst aspect of Scandinavian antisemitism (it has little effect on Jews directly, given the tiny number Jews living there) is it is accompanied by a smugness and an assumption of moral rectitude. Sweden and Norway are countries that call themselves “humanitarian superpowers” without any sense of irony.
This was carried over to the New World. Minneapolis had a reputation in the 1930s and 40s of being the most antisemitic city in the United States. Even the local AAA automobile club and service organizations like the Rotary Clubs barred Jews.
THX 1138 says
Martin Luther was a rabid antisemite that’s certainly part of the explanation. Antisemitism is one of those manifestations of “facts don’t matter when you’re morally right”.
“Facts don’t matter when you’re morally right” – Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
Jeff Bargholz says
Well, in Martin Luther’s dubious defense, he went insane in his later life. That’s when he seems to have become a rabid anti-Semite, although I could be wrong. My memory sucks.
Intrepid says
Yeah about million times times. And one million times you got it wrong. The whole sins of the fathers shtick is getting old, predictable and worn out, like you. I only have to wait patiently for your silly altruism screeds.
Like a moth to a flame, you see the word Luther, Christian or Jew and you start salivating. Pavlov’s dog in action. It’s always a laugh riot when you use the Jews and the Muslims for your own warped Randivst purposes, pretending to actually care about them. But somehow never the Christians.
They say when you are catching flak you must be over the THX target. We must be doing something right.
Did I ever tell ya that atheism is responsible for 100 million deaths in the 20th Century alone? We haven’t even started counting the number almost one quarter of the way through the 21st C.
At least my posts garner mostly upvotes. Yours? Decidedly downvotes. You will always be a loser.
SKA says
You mean like Dietrich Boenhoffer?
THX 1138 says
“As for the Lutherans, MOST had followed the lead of such figures as Pastor Adolf Stoecker; they had rejected capitalism as an evil Jewish idea, incompatible with the [altruist] spirit of Christianity.” – Leonard Peikoff, “The Ominous Parallels

Oh yah, for sure, you betcha.

Islam has no place in the civilized world.
Viet Vet says
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kasandra says
So, Mayor Mahoney, how’s that diversity working out for you? Yeah, you’re making Fargo be more like other American cities alright – Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis….
crjazzman says
Michigan has similar problems with its growing muslim population having gained a degree of political power.
Barbara says
Everywhere Somalis have settled, they have brought crime, terrorism and government dependency. Why do they keep being admitted despite being completely troublesome. It would be one thing if a single family were admitted to a town, but to have them living together in groups given their history of piracy, tribalism and terrorism, should not be tolerated. Given their abysmal record, few should be admitted on the condition that they isolate themselves from other Somalis. However, I think it is preferable not to admit any at all.
Viet Vet says
Chaos, and overwhelming the nation’s welfare safety net are two of the ingredients formulated by communists over the years as a means of destroying the United States. Most people sit around with their thumbs up their….rear, and seem to think ignorance is a virtue. How many Americans know that Obama is a communist, actually a Marxist Revolutionary. It’s documented.
Jeff Bargholz says
It’s hard to imagine worse “people.”
Vince says
I was born in Luton, Bedfordshire. UK. Our town was basically overrun. By the time I was nine my parents had reached their limit, and we packed up and left England. These people do this wherever they land, they destroy it.
staffsgt7 says
people don’t believe me sometimes – I tell them that running away isn’t going to solve anything. obama/biden are putting their civilizationa/violent jihadis all over the USA, along with cartels, etc. And when people run the vast majority do the same thing they did where they ran from – nothing.
Jeff Bargholz says
True but who the F wants to live with Somalian scum?
Viet Vet says
Islam is a theocracy, and they invade other countries not to become neighbors or to subscribe to the laws and culture of these countries, but to take them over. In the United States they are completely at odds with our Constitution and our free institutions. However, they will use those tenets to destroy the country.
Intrepid says
Pt 1
This timeline was put together before the ISIS attacks in
Europe and here.
*****Feel free to copy and paste
this timeline………………everywhere******************
As long as the Muslim population
remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a
peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected
groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in
proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push
for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby
securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket
chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to
comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them
to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The
ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to
increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris,
we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and
results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to
Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting,
jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian
churches and Jewish synagogues.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic
terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.
Continued
Intrepid says
Pt.2
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of
non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims),
sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the
tax placed on infidels.
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some
State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive
out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and
in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza —
Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%,
Jordan — Muslim 92%.
100% will usher in the “peace” of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’
— the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because
everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the
only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%,
SomaliaMuslim 100%, Yemen —Muslim 100%..
Taylor says
The radicalization of both Dakotas was brought to us by Senators James Abourzek–a Christian Arab and Sen. McGovern, a Marxist Irishman and nominal Methodist. Maybe you CoreAmerican Christians need to get a grip on…yourselves.
Jeff Bargholz says
Bullshit. Two people aren’t responsible for the mores and policies of an entire state.
Taylor says
They did, just as 11 German Jewish academics from Frankfurt altered the culture of an elastic America and a Jewish rebel named Jesus, along with a few radicalized Jews, were able to alter the culture of the Occident. .
Abourzek and McGovern each had small coteries of radicals working under them and the two were able to alter the culture of two small states by recruiting radicalized factions of Lutherans and Methodists in otherwise populist-leaning states.
Semaphore says
“We really need a diverse population to be more like a normal American city.” I love this remark! Whoda thunk, but Fargo IS becoming like a normal American city. You know, like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detriot, Chicago, New York… I could go on, but I think my point is made.
John Blackman says
once the trojan horse of islam is wheeled into your country you are doomed . enjoy america , your govt. representatives have betrayed you . in military terms it is high treason .
Roger Lodge says
Lutheran Social Services comes across as a front for refugee resettlement and not a legitimate Lutheran group. Legitimate Christians would be very skeptical of mass importing people of a different religion, especially Muslims.
Old Fogey says
Remember that the Evangelical Lutheran Communists of America is the apostate branch of Lutheranism. The Missouri and Wisconsin Synods are faithful to the Bible and have only a name in common with the ELCA. The social services NGO is an arm of the ELCA, sowing its evil across the world.
SKA says
THX made some “point” about German Lutherans collaborating with Hitler’s programs. Yet a leading Lutheran theologian, Dietrich Boenhoffer, gave his life working underground to give protection to German Jews and to help them flee to freedom. And he was not alone.
Old Fogey says
THX is a provocateur atheist who aims to discredit the faithful. He writes in the service of the father of lies.
Andrew Blackadder says
Of all the people in all the World to come into America to resettle and make a decent life for themselves which people, of which religion, have been so ungrateful of the shelter and help given to them that they brutally attack and kill us..
Thats not a trick question.
Fred A. says
The Incident is just another example of a failed immigration policy put in place by the Democrats and Republicans. The American people have to suffer the consequences of those policies. It will not be long before Muslim riots in our streets like they do in France when things do not go their way.
The Muslim population have no respect for anyone who is not an Islamic. Just look how they act in any country where there is a large number of them living in that area. Fargo is going to pay a dear price for doing just that.
Remember, many Muslim organizations have openly stated that they intend to turn the United States into a Islamic country. Just look at the number of European counties that were Christian at one time, but do to invasions from North Africa and Middle Eastern countries hundreds of year ago, they are now Islamic. They were force to convert or die. A perfect example is Albania.
America currently is facing riots by blacks in America, but in the future will be facing the same problems with Muslims.
Old Fogey says
Oh, the Democrats are succeeding in their immigration policy – a Cloward-Piven plan to destroy American social norms and replace the government with an autocracy of the entitled.

Burgum is the death of ND. So many Democrats, him included, have run for election as Republicans only to get elected & have a more liberal vote record than actual Dems.
Burgum & his buddy Gates are Plato Republic scholars & they along w carbon capture & the Green New Deal are destroying ND.
