A Somali Rape Crisis in Minnesota

And local authorities are giving the men named ‘Mohammed’ a pass. 

Sexual assaults are up 5% in Minnesota. Statistics from the Hennepin County prosecutor’s office, which includes Minneapolis and its Somali population, shows that the number of sexual assault cases is up 62% from 2018. Cedar-Riverside, the neighborhood commonly known as ‘Little Mogadishu’ for its Somali population, has some of the worst crime rates in Minneapolis.

To what extent does the state’s Somali settler population contribute to its sexual assault crisis?

While there are no firm numbers, I tracked some of the offenders with the most common Muslim name Mohamed (after the prophet of Islam, whom the Koran described as a serial sex offender, assaulting captured women and in the process legalizing the sexual assault of non-Muslim women under Sharia Islamic law) and what I found was not only a pattern of offenses, but of complicity by local authorities who have allowed Somali Muslim sex predators to reoffend.

Take the recent case of Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, a Somali Muslim, who was arrested after he allegedly kidnapped a woman he met on social media, took her phone, told her she wasn’t leaving, allegedly held her captive for almost a week and sexually assaulted her.

Mohamed had already been arrested in 2024 for allegedly offering a ride to a woman and her sister through social media, taking them to his apartment and threatening to kill both the woman and her sister unless she had sex with him. When the sister called 911, the Somali Muslim furiously fought the police and hospital staff trying to take his DNA sample, “spitting at them repeatedly and with such aggression that hospital staff couldn’t complete the test despite Mohamed being restrained” and also managed to assault a police officer.

The DNA test ended up linking Mohamed to the previous sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl whom he had also met on social media and had offered a ride to only to have two other men hold a gun to her head and rape her.

Four months before his latest sexual assault case, the Somali Muslim was sentenced for the wo sexual assaults with no prison time.

Sexual assault cases involving Somali Muslim repeat offenders named Mohamed who are allowed to walk free are becoming all too common in Minnesota.

Asad Abu Mohamed, who had been described as having “a substantial likelihood” to cause harm, was let off for previous indecent exposure cases due to “mental deficiency”. Mohamed, who was already on probation, then waited, crouching in the handicapped stall in the ladies’ room at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College until a 19-year-old woman sat down to use the bathroom, then the Somali Muslim crawled under the stall, put his hand over her mouth and threatened to kill her. When people ran to her aid, they saw Mohamed choking the woman, and the Somali Muslim fought off police, threatening a female officer, “I’ll rape you too.”

Mohamed was sentenced to less than 3 years in prison. Earlier this year, authorities warned the public that the 6’1 210 pound Somali sex predator is being released despite a “history of engaging in sexual conduct against unknown adult females” and having “entered into women’s public restrooms in order to access and attempt to subdue victims.”

Local residents noted a pattern of Somali sex predators with surprisingly lenient sentences.

Mohamed Bakari Shei raped two little girls, a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old, on Mother’s Day, was offered a plea deal with no prison time, a dismissal of two of the three charges, no criminal record and no requirement to register as a sex offender.

“There is no moving on or getting over it, I’ve tried,” one of the Somali Muslim rapist’s victims cried in court.

“Some day you will have to answer for this egregious act against a child,” a family member vowed.

In the next life perhaps, not in Minnesota, where Somali Muslims have been allowed to defraud the state for over $1 billion and to assault women and girls, and walk away with no consequences. The only reason that Mohamed was finally sentenced to at least 116 days in prison for ‘good behavior’ was the intervention of the judge who chose to sideline the plea deal.

The revolving door system for Somali Muslim sex predators helps drive rising sex offenses.

The Minnesota Department of Corrections still lists Abdullahi Mohamed Jama as a wanted fugitive. Mohamad had been convicted of ‘engaging in sexual conduct’ with a child under 13, the charge that should have landed him in jail for a long time, instead sent him away for only 1 year out of a 3 year prison sentence. He was repeatedly sentenced for fleeing police and then for failing to register as a sex offender before the police were called after he was accused of beating and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend.

Where is Mohamad now?

In another case, Mohamed Ali Elmi and Ismail Adam Abdo stopped a couple in a car, robbed them, then kidnapped and sexually assaulted the woman. Both Mohamed and Ismail had a string of previous cases, including a dorm robbery, and Abdo was still facing charges for a series of robberies. The two Somali Muslim men had raped her violently at gunpoint until she vomited and, in ISIS style, ‘high fived’ each other during the assault. But while Mohamed was arrested, Ismail was believed to have fled to ‘East Africa’ which is where Somalia and much of its settler population lives.

Ismail spent three years on the run before finally being brought to justice. Unlike another Somali Muslim sex predator, he didn’t become notorious enough to wind up on America’s Most Wanted.

That role fell to Abdihakim Mohamed Isse, a school bus driver in Hennepin County, who was accused of stopping the bus, and sexually assaulting and penetrating a developmentally disabled 13-year-old girl. It would take another 20 years until he was finally extradited.

The presence of members of a religion that teaches that sexually assaulting non-Muslim women and girls is within the rights of Muslim men represents a systemic risk in the educational system.

Another school case involved Fasel Mohamed Ali, working as a janitor in a local high school,  charged with sexual misconduct for allegedly groping a school employee. A man of that same name was later stabbed to death in a park, but it’s unclear if that’s the same Mohamed.

Mohamed Ali Selim, a middle school principal, was arrested for trying to solicit a minor teenage girl for sex. In typical fashion, he received a plea deal with no time served.

The Somali Muslim assaults on children have been particularly brazen and grievous.

In a recent case, Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, who was also apparently going by the name ‘Mohamed Muuse’, found a 12-year-old girl in Minneapolis playing in her backyard. Ibrahim asked if her mother was home, then came back, forced her into a car and sexually assaulted her. Ibrahim claimed to police that “she told me she is 19 years old.”

Despite the horrifying nature of the crime by the Somali Muslim ‘refugee’, the Al-Ihsan Islamic Center mosque wrote a letter to the court on behalf of the “members of the Somali community” claiming that the kidnapper and rapist of a 12-year-old girl had faced “the challenge of starting over in a new culture” and was “an active volunteer in our mosque”.

The sheer brazenness of such offenses were also on display when Mohamed Hassan Ali was arrested after allegedly following an 11-year-old girl for several blocks while  “grabbing and rubbing”  her while she tried to get away. At the Mall of America, Amin Mohamed, a Somali ride operator, allegedly tried to molest a mother on the Big Rig ride with her child.

Somali Muslim cases also stand out for the sheer unrelenting violence of their alleged perpetrators. Liban Mohammed Dahir was accused of punching a homeless woman, telling her not to look or he would stab her, and then slamming her head and raping her. The victim suffered brain bleeds and the Somali perpetrator took two years to locate.

Yassin Mohamed Abdirahman was accused of pulling a woman to the ground and kicking her in the face. Mohamud Hillow Bulle pushed a woman into a ditch, put his hands around her neck, and assaulted her, but was only caught a decade later after his DNA test matched another sexual assault, and Mohamud had his DNA tested during another attempted murder case.

These are far from the Somali assaults on women and girls. Or the only ones involving men named ‘Mohammed’, ‘Mohamad’, ‘Mohaud’, or other variations of the Muslim sex pest prophet’s name. But they are a disturbing sampling of what has been taking place in Minnesota.

After President Trump’s criticism of the Somali crime wave, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty released videos denying that there’s a Somali crime problem and attacking Trump. There are no “roving Somali gangs terrorizing people,” she falsely claimed.

Many blame Moriarty for the plea deals that allowed Somali sex predators to walk free. And the pro-crime DA did little to change that impression when she falsely claimed that “the old model of ‘lock them up and throw away the key’ is both ineffective and harmful”. Refusing to lock up criminals has allowed Somali sex predators to assault more women and girls.

While the amount of local and national attention being paid to controversial Somali politicians like Rep. Ilhan Omar and State Sen. Omar Fateh, who had hijacked the mayoral endorsement, as well as to the rash of Somali crime and fraud, including over $1 billion stolen in autism, food and homeless fraud, it may surprise some that there are less than 80,000 of them in the state.

But the Somali population has been doubling and if it’s this bad with 80,000, imagine what it will be like with 160,000, 320,000 and 640,000. Imagine how many ‘Mohammeds’, ‘Mohamads’ and ‘Mahmouds’ there will be and imagine how many women and girls will pay the price.

Unless we change our immigration policies. Fast.

5 Things You Should Know about Human Trafficking

Released in theaters last week, “Sound of Freedom” tells the true story of Tim Ballard, a Homeland Security agent who quits his job and joins forces with local Latin American law enforcement and underground contacts to rescue children caught in human trafficking. The film portrays Ballard as he sets up a sting operation that successfully frees a young Honduran boy and reunites him with his father. When the boy tells him about his sister who is still in captivity, Ballard becomes determined to find her. The heartfelt thriller has proven surprisingly successful, beating “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” at the box office on July 4.

Despite the heavy subject matter, “Sound of Freedom” leaves viewers feeling hopeful and motivated to make a difference. In the film, Ballard’s character expresses understandable frustration that more is not being done to free enslaved children, saying, “And every day, ordinary people don’t want to hear it. It’s too ugly for polite conversation.” The film’s early success will hopefully prove that thinking false.

Human trafficking — both sex trafficking and labor trafficking, including of children — remains a widespread global problem, and America is not left untouched. Here is what you should know about human trafficking.

1. Human Trafficking Is More Prevalent Than You Think

The U.S. Department of Justice defines human trafficking as “a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts.” This coercion can be presented as “subtle or overt, physical or psychological.” The breadth of the issue creates a complex web of victims with different experiences, the majority of which never receive justice for the evil committed against them.

It is estimated that nearly 28 million individuals are trafficked globally at any given time. Human trafficking creates a global profit of $150 billion each year, making it “the most lucrative crime after drug trafficking.” Even so, only a fraction of traffickers are punished for their crimes. In 2022, there were 15,159 prosecutions worldwide for trafficking, yet these culminated in only 5,577 convictions. In the United States specifically, the National Human Trafficking Hotline received over 10,000 reports regarding 16,554 victims throughout 2021.

While human trafficking is not limited just to sex crimes, statistics reveal that the U.S. is a top consumer of child sex in the world. In the U.S. alone, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children received more than 17,200 reports of child sex trafficking in the United States in 2021. Geoff Rogers, co-founder of the United States Against Human Trafficking, reports how the “United States is the No. 1 consumer of sex worldwide,” and demand is often being driven with children. Rogers asserts there are “a multitude of kids that are being sold as sex slaves today in America,” over half of which come from the foster care system. These statistics confirm the somber reality of this evil; child sex trafficking not only exists in foreign nations, but it thrives here in our communities.

2. Porn Creates Demand for Sex trafficking, Including for Child Sex Trafficking

Studies have shown the consumption of pornography contributes to the objectification of human beings and an “acceptance of sexual mistreatment.” In a lecture on the link between pornography and sex trafficking conducted by the Family Research Council, Arina Grossu emphasized the addictive nature of pornography, which fuels the demand for more pornographic material and sex acts. Many of these commodities are provided by individuals who are sex trafficked.

Specifically, research shows that those who observe pornography most often were also the ones to purchase women in prostitution for sex acts. Journalist John-Henry Westen asserts that viewership creates increased acceptance for violent, disturbing pornography, ultimately culminating in a clientele for the sex trafficking industry. With desensitization — and even broad acceptance — of porn consumption and engaging in pornographic activity, sex trafficking victims are used to meet the demand and produce content without the opportunity to express true consent. With the worldwide pornography industry worth $97 billion — its success largely attributed to its addictive nature — traffickers have an incentive to continue using victims for continued economic profit.

Even more startling is the growing success of online child pornography consumption. Of those who view child pornography, between 40-80% have in fact molested a minor themselves. Further research concludes 66-90% of women used to create pornographic material were victims of sexual abuse at some point during their childhood. This connection between childhood abuse and increased likelihood of being sex trafficked for pornographic material in the future draws attention to the crisis our society faces in protecting children from this evil.

3. Current U.S. Border Policy Is Enabling Human Traffickers

It is estimated upwards of 72% of all human trafficking victims in the U.S. are immigrants, many of which are transported across the border between the U.S. and Mexico. With the current status of the border, many girls, some as young as 14, are abducted prior to their arrival at the border then smuggled across to perform sex acts at a price. Approximately 60% of children who enter the U.S. illegally and unaccompanied are caught by cartel members and used in the production of child pornography.

In terms of the legislative process, the issues of illegal immigration and human trafficking are generally dealt with separately to pass bipartisan legislation more easily. The recently passed version of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act grants unaccompanied minors “special accommodations, such as expedited processing and benefits.” Unfortunately, these opportunities provided to unaccompanied minors incentivize minors to cross the border, ultimately creating minimal restrictions and increased opportunities for cartels to seize these children. To effectively address human trafficking in the U.S., we must also take measures to address rampant illegal border crossings, especially when unaccompanied minors are involved.

4. God Cares Deeply about Those Trapped in Slavery

In “Sound of Freedom,” Tim Ballard’s character successfully catches a pedophile attempting to traffic a child in a sting operation. The film’s representation of these real-world scenarios rightfully creates a stomach-churning reaction. Witnessing the cruelty of humanity in this way draws us to John 3:19: “And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.” It’s a verse that naturally comes to mind when confronted with the evil of child exploitation. In this industry that so overtly disregards the value of human life — especially that of a child — let us remember that they reside in the darkness. For our fight is not against earthly foes, but it is “against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12). That is why we should make every effort to administer justice to those in need and to deliver them from the wickedness of this fallen world (Psalm 82:3-4).

Human trafficking of those of any age is an assault on the human dignity of women and men and girls and boys made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We are right to be grieved by news of human trafficking and to seek justice for those who are oppressed (Isaiah 1:17).

5. You Can Be a Part of the Solution

If you feel a burden to make a difference on behalf of victims of human trafficking, a first step you can take is learning more about what the current challenges are. Then pray about what God might be calling you to do in your daily life. That may be donating to an organization that fights human trafficking, researching your states’ anti-trafficking laws and encouraging local leaders to make them stronger if needed, or praying with your small group from church.

For more on what you can do to fight trafficking, visit the National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s resources page. It includes action steps like how you can report suspected trafficking, how to upload images of your hotel room to a national database, and more.

Elected representatives at the state or federal level will often not prioritize an issue unless they think that their constituents are prioritizing it. Sharing information about human trafficking on social media, encouraging friends to see the “Sound of Freedom” movie, and telling your representatives you want to see more action done on fight human trafficking can all go a long way towards calling attention to human trafficking.

A quote often attributed to Mother Teresa reminds us, “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” We all can play a part in building momentum to address this evil.
