Muslim Brothers Arrested in MN After Arsenal of Guns, Ammo, Bomb-Making Materials, and DRONE Found in Car
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — There are growing concerns about the arrest of two brothers with ties to the Middle East who authorities say had an arsenal with bomb-making materials, guns and ammunition in their car.
Twenty-seven-year-old Abdullah Alrifahe and 26-year-old Majid Alrifahe were arrested on May 11 in north Minneapolis.
Abdullah is being held in the Hennepin County Jail. His brother, Majid, has been released and is facing minor charges.
WCCO-TV has confirmed that both Homeland Security and the FBI are involved in the investigation, which started outside a federally-subsidized senior housing project. A good Samaritan confronted the men about littering from their car.
The man, who asked that his name not be used for fear of his safety, said the brothers jumped out of their car, moved aggressively toward him and used the N-word. He then called police.
Inside the brothers’ car, police found a loaded AK-47, another rifle, a handgun, a grenade, large amounts of ammunition, and what would later be identified as bomb-making materials, including a drone.
Abdullah Alrifahe had recently been released from jail after serving time for a weapons conviction. He is now facing a single felony weapons charge.
His brother, Majid, has been released from jail and is facing a low-level misdemeanor charges, including disorderly conduct.
The good Samaritan is outraged the charges aren’t more serious.
“For what they found in their car, that is way too light,” he said.
However, criminal defense attorney Joe Tamburino, who is not affiliated with the case, says prosecutors are doing what they can.
“These people have been charged with what the prosecutors can do right now,” he said, adding that more charges could come down later.
The Minneapolis Police Department says the investigation remains an open. Meanwhile, Abdullah Alrifahe is being held on $200,000 bail, which is an extremely high amount for the charges he faces.
His brother, who is out of jail, did not immediately return phone calls.
WCCO-TV also reached out to the FBI and Homeland Security. The FBI responded that it has no comment on the case.
I swear, you're addicted to the islam hate. That's the only possible explanation for the unfettered deluge of terrorism stories you post here.
Feels good, doesn't it? Looking at every person who practices islam and having that little voice in your head go "he's a terrorist! he's a terrorist! they're all terrorists!"
A muslim to you is like sunlight to vampires. And if I showed you a qu'aran, you'd probably burst into flames.

That's been all over the news here since it happened in Portland, OR. The 2 that were stabbed to death had intervened when this Jeremy Christian nutbag starting shouting racial and religious slurs towards 2 women on the Max Train, one of whom was wearing a hijab. So this wacko kills 2 good Samaritan American travelers on a local train for trying to stop some nasty harassment. The police still haven't talked to the 2 women because they fled in fear. How insane is that? Thank you Trump and your Alt-Right lackeys for the fear and loathing you've fomented within our own neighborhoods.

According to his posts, he (Jeremy Christian) was a passionate Bernie Sanders supporter who later supported, but did not vote for, President Trump. He frequently posted violent threats against Hillary Clinton and her supporters.
He also claims to be a Ashkenazi Jew who speaks Yiddish.
He apparently gets into it with a couple of conservative supporters at this particular rally. However, he's definitely not a lefty either. No Bernie supporter worth his or her salt would stoop to throwing the Nazi salute. The guy is clearly a mental case or a drug addict or BOTH, and is using all these rallies to yell his filth and incite violence.
This is another video from the same rally. Apparently, those conservative supporters asked the cops to make Christian leave. As he stomps off, they shout at him over and over to: "Don't do drugs".

yes i know it's a large picture, none of the code I tried worked to resize it.
Just a reminder, criticize the religion, not the person. But you still keep using the two terms interchangeably, although not as much lately -- which is good.

It's just unfortunate that a great number of muslims believe in the violence advocated by islam.

I don't know what to think. Is the GOP so afraid of the "bleeding heart" left, the same said left that they love to call a bunch of wussies and crybabies all the time, that they seriously believe they need private protection, or are they just coming up with a sleight of hand excuse in order to privatize the police and military in order to take over the country via an armed paramilitary?

You get that in every religion.
The problem stems from being told that your god (whoever he is) is the true god, and those who worship differently than you are subhuman.
