Woman gives chilling,
1st-hand account of Muslim rape threat, Refugees
terrorized Minnesota neighborhood 3 straight days by Leo Hohmann, 7/6/16, WND
Sarah Penskey (not her real name)
was in her garage unpacking boxes on a sunny morning in late June when she was
approached by several bearded Somali men in their early to mid-20s. It was the last week of Ramadan, and the men
were wearing traditional Islamic robes.
The uninvited visitors to this posh
Minneapolis neighborhood known as Linden Hills – situated among tall trees just
off of Thomas Beach on Lake Calhoun – ground to a halt beside Penskey’s house
that morning.
They came in a white RAV 4 Toyota
and a dark-colored van, catching her unawares as she walked out of her garage
to put something in her trash can. It was just the day before that
another group of Somalis had driven through the neighborhood and approached her
as she was turning on her sprinkler, but they were younger, in their late teens
and dressed in basketball shorts, not robes.
That younger group complimented her
house and her looks. “Hey, you have a beautiful house,” they said. “You’re
beautiful, too. Can we move in with you?” Penskey, blond with an hourglass
figure, has been told by friends she “looks like a Barbie doll.”
“Thank you. Have a nice day at the
beach,” she replied, dismissively, walking back into her house and doing her
best to, as she says, “diffuse the situation.”
The older group that showed up the
next day was not so subtle. Nor would they be so easily dismissed. “Hey, hey…
hey,” they yelled as she was taking out her trash. “Yes?” “We want to live in
your house. We want to marry you.” “No, I already have a husband, but have a
good day,” Penskey replied.
The men starting jostling with each
other and yelling things that were hard to understand. At least five other cars
were driving recklessly through the narrow streets, setting off bottle rockets,
their passengers hanging off of the door frames, some even riding on the hood,
yelling, “Jihad!”
They ran over some neighbors’ lawns
and reportedly beat up one resident’s dog.
“Do you know Shariah law?” one of
the older men in robes yelled at Penskey. Having lived overseas, Penskey knew
about Shariah law and its rules for man-woman relationships and
Muslim-non-Muslim relationships. “Yes,” she said, walking back toward her
garage. “We can kidnap you and rape you!” the men shouted back at her.
She shut the garage door and ran
inside to call police. “I didn’t yell at them. I didn’t do
anything, just tried to shut the door and get back inside, so it’s like there
were some bad apples one day, and then there were some really bad apples the
next,” Penskey told WND in a phone interview Wednesday. Her husband was not
home during either of her first two encounters with the Somali men.
Many neighbors called police on the
second morning of what some are calling the Somali “wilding,” a day of brazen
intimidation that started in Linden Hills using fireworks and fake guns and
spread to the adjacent beach on Lake Calhoun.
“On the second day, multiple
neighbors were running out, trying to get license plate numbers, and were on
the phone with the police. They were running outside, barefoot. One woman came
and swept up her child and took her back in the house,” Penskey said. “Imagine
six cars driving 50 mph through a residential street, then slamming on the
brakes, driving on lawns, exploding fireworks. They almost hit one child and
actually did hit one of their own.”
Several of the Somalis carried black
flags that Penskey said resembled the ISIS flag. A man in his sixties was
reportedly threatened by one Somali who demanded that he erase the picture of
his license plate from the man’s camera.
Police took up to three hours to
arrive. The dispatchers told Penskey they didn’t have enough officers on duty
to confront 20 or more men. The police did periodic drive-bys to monitor the
situation. When they did show up, the worst offenders were gone.
The police report says officers
arrived to find a female victim, Penskey, who was “very distraught and alone.
Crying.” She had called 9-1-1 three times that day. An officer arrived once
earlier but only wrote a minor traffic ticket to one of the rioters. The main
instigators had fled before police got there.
Police: ‘This is a very unusual
case’
John Elder, public information
officer with the Minneapolis Police Department, told WND Wednesday there have
been no arrests in the incident to date. “There remains an active
investigation, and I am very limited in what I can say due to the fact that it
is an active investigation,” Elder said. “We continue to work with the
community, and continue to interview folks, but no arrests have been made at
this point.”
WND asked if any arrests were
anticipated. “I can’t comment on that,” Elder said. Is this type of activity
common in Minneapolis? “This is an unusual case, yep,” the officer said.
The case is being investigated
as a situation involving potential terroristic threats. Penskey said the FBI
has also visited her and is taking the case very seriously.
Day 3: Men in robes return
And the terrorizing of Linden Hills
didn’t stop after that second day. The men returned for a third straight
morning, June 28, and this time Penskey’s husband was home, standing out in the
yard as they approached.
It was the younger group of Somalis
this time, not the older ones dressed in robes. Within minutes, the older provocateurs
were back, however, with their robes and their duffel bags, their flags and
their bottle rockets, shouting their threats in this strange form of jihad. But
this time they had a surprise for the targets of their terror.
“They slowed the car down, waved at
my husband with the windows open and played a recording of what sounded like a
woman being raped, blasted it from their car speakers,” Penskey said. “Then
they parked their car, and my husband came upstairs and said call 9-1-1 now and
stay away from the windows.”
The robed Somalis scared vacationers
off the beach that morning, reportedly using their duffel bags as fake guns,
pointing them at families and pretending to shoot them, one by one. The sound
of exploding bottle rockets crashed through the heavy morning air.
“The beach emptied out real quick.
It was about 10 a.m., and there weren’t a lot of people out there. But those
who were got up and immediately walked toward the parking lot yelling, ‘Call
the cops!” witnesses told WND.
“The problem is this escalated so
fast, but it was more at the beach side on the third day,” Penskey said. “They
said something inappropriate to my husband turning on the recording of a woman
being raped, or having loud sex, and just waved at him and smiled, a threat, to
my husband. What was he to think? He was just furious and came upstairs and
said you can’t leave the house today.” Police arrived much faster this
time, within three minutes. But, again, the older ones who were the main
instigators had already driven away.
Even in liberal-minded Minnesota,
where the sight of bearded Somalis in Islamic attire is considered part of the
multicultural norm, the reaction of the beach-goers reflected the level of
aggressiveness that was on display. “They’re not accepted on the beach that
way. You have beards and you’re dressed in long robes and using a duffel bag
like you’re shooting a machine gun,” Penskey said. “People left. People left
the beach. “I don’t think people realize how bad it is in Minnesota and what
type of backdrop we have here.”
Feds import 132,000 Somali refugees
over 30 years
The federal government, working with
the United Nations, Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services among other
agencies, has imported more than 132,000 Somali refugees into dozens of U.S.
towns since 1983, according to U.S. State Department data, but the largest contingent
has been sent to Minneapolis.
Judy Layer, 76, lives next door to
Penskey at Linden Hills and was an eyewitness to the events of June 26-28. She is most infuriated by a group of
commenters who swarmed a neighborhood website and tried to either downplay the
incident as simply some obnoxious youngsters having summer fun or to say that
it didn’t happen at all. “I’ll just tell you what I saw, and
it did happen. There are so many people who were saying it was all made up,”
Layer said. “I was walking my dog. I went around the block, came into my house,
sat on my deck and was reading on my iPad.”

Politician raped
by Muslims, lies to cops to protect them. Her husband was still upstairs
getting dressed. The couple has lived in Linden Hills for 22 years. “I did see a pattern developing of
about five cars coming in, turning around, then the kids would get out of the
cars, be shadow boxing with each other, they were loud,” Layer said. “Then I
saw them all go into a cluster. They were speaking with Sarah [Penskey]. And I
said to my husband, ‘Come here, this looks like kind of a situation. She can’t
be too comfortable with this. She was watering the lawn.’ So Jim called the police,
and others did the same.” One young man came running down the hill in his dress
shirt and took pictures of license plates, she said.
“I can understand why one police car
would not want to come into this situation. I counted 19 or 20 at one time,”
she said. “But what I didn’t like is that some people remarked on the website
Nextdoor-LindenHills that, ‘Oh, it’s just a bunch of old people that like to
call the police.’ I don’t sit around wanting to call the police.”
Local newspaper goes dark on
incident
The local newspaper, the Minneapolis
Star-Tribune, has ignored the incident. And only one TV station, KSTP Channel
5, has covered it. “And so now it’s being said that it’s all being made up. It
wasn’t made up; this happened,” Layer said. “Why it was only being reported on
Channel 5, I don’t know.” Layer said she tried to capture video, “But I missed
the part where all the cars were veering around, screaming. Had it been late at
night, I think it would have been more dangerous. I wasn’t’ trying to
sensationalize it. But on the other hand, it did happen.” Layer said the
Somalis “named a practice” by which they could have four wives. That would be
Shariah. “And she said, ‘Well, I’m married,’ and she just wanted to get in the
house,” Layer said of Penskey.
‘Dogs are unclean’
Layer said this is not the first
time Somalis using the adjacent beach have targeted dogs in her neighborhood. “There was an incident involving a
girl with the dog, where she had a dog and felt she was verbally accosted by
this group,” she said. “This girl at the lake made a police report. They think
dogs are unclean.” Since hearing of that incident, Layer said she takes
precautions when walking her own dog.
“I’ve got a dog, and I walk my dog,
but I go a different path now. I just don’t need that, so I’m happy to change
my path,” she said. “After that happened, yes, I changed my route. I thought,
yeah, I’ll just go down this alley and take my dog and come back. I’d rather do
that than be confronted by something like that.”
Penskey said she has also been
maligned by online commenters who accuse her and others of making the situation
worse be attempting to video the young Somali men.
“There are people online saying this
never would have happened if not for the video. Do you think I’m stupid enough
to walk out of my house and take video of them?” she asked. “Some neighbors
were shooting video, but even the Somalis themselves took photos and video of
what they were doing. But, no, I’m not stupid enough to stand in my yard and
take video of 19 or more 20-year-old men.”
Penskey and Layer both said
Minnesotans are afraid to confront the issue of Somali terrorism and crime,
even after six young Somalis were arrested last year and charged with trying to
join ISIS. They are among nearly 40 who have been charged with trying to join
foreign terror groups since 2007, and dozens of others have been convicted of
providing material support to overseas terrorists. “People are too afraid of the
backlash, and that’s why people are afraid to say something,” Penske said. “If
you do, you’ll either get a backlash or be called a bigot.”

Minnesota victim speaks in case of roving Somali gangs in upscale neighborhood, Posted by Ann Corcoran on July 7, 2016
“I don’t
think people realize how bad it is in Minnesota and what type of backdrop we
have here.” (victim) The upscale neighborhood at Lake
Calhoun is only 5 miles from the Cedar Riverside Somali enclave
in downtown Minneapolis.
We
first mentioned this
incredible scary story a couple of days ago pointing out
that the mainstream media never reports news like this nationally, but here we
learn from
World Net Daily reporter, Leo
Hohmann, who spoke with the primary target of the confrontation as at least 20
Somali men (self-proclaimed jihadists) swarmed a neighborhood outside of
Minneapolis, what happened on THREE separate occasions in the escalating
“jihad” on a lakeside community. A reader
tells us to call the FBI, here, to report
crime and terror threats! Many
outrageous and frightening things were shouted by Somali men, some of whom were
dressed in traditional Islamic robes.They said they practiced Sharia law and could thus kidnap and rape the attractive target of their abusive language. They were yelling the word “jihad” from their car windows as they careened across lawns and sidewalks. They blasted the soundtrack of a woman being sexually assaulted from a car. They carried duffel bags, held them as if they were guns and shot off bottle rockets to make the sounds of gun shots. And, that is just a bit of what happened as this neighborhood was terrorized last week. You must read the whole incredible story from the mouth of the primary victim and from other witnesses who confirmed the story to World New Daily. Where is the Minneapolis Star Tribune? Where is the New York Times? Where is CNN? Where is Fox News? The whole country should be informed of what happens when a Muslim Somali population grows large enough to boldly attack the peace and quiet of a suburban neighborhood with shouts of “jihad.”
Somalis did
not ‘find their way’ to Minnesota from East Africa! If you are a new reader here today, know that the reason the Somali
population is so high in Minnesota is because the UN/US State Department began
resettling tens of thousands there over more than 25 years with the help
initially of Catholic Charities, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service and
World Relief (Evangelicals). There are now other federal contractors
working day and night (along with the original three) to change Minnesota one
town at a time!
If
you live in towns newly contemplating ‘welcoming’ refugees from the Muslim
world, take note! Asheville, NC, Charleston, WV, Missoula, MT, Rutland,
VT, Reno, NV, Fayetteville, AR etc… are you paying attention! The
feds and their contractors may tell you they will only bring your town a
certain ethnic group, do not believe them, you will get a mix of refugees from
all over the world, including Somalis! About 750
additional Somalis arrive in the US each month from all
over the world!
