Home Grown Terrorist
i live in one of the cities w/ the biggest Somali population. It was on our news, then national news, about the new Jihad leader along w/ some of the recruitment tapes. This is a serious issue that we need to pray abuot and address. Go to the links to read more.
Remember, life is way bigger than your group of friends, you family, job, school, even your church. Learn about local, national and international issues and begin praying about them.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Venita Baker died of a gunshot allegedly fired by her brother, Matthew Gardner. Police say Baker was caught in the crossfire when Gardner shot into a car where she was a passenger.
Matthew Gardner phoned his mother from jail yesterday, asking if she was mad at him.
"No, I'm not mad at you," Romel Gipson told him.
And, if his sister were still alive, Gipson said, "I don't believe that Venita would be mad at you either."
Gipson's son is charged with murder in the shooting death of his sister, Venita Baker, Tuesday night on the North Side.
Story continues belowAdvertisement But Gipson, who also buried a son just months ago, said it's hard to be angry with Gardner, 19, who has suffered from emotional disturbances all his life.
She said he was born with microcephaly, an abnormally small brain, and was hospitalized when he was 10 for emotional problems. He was in programs for emotionally disturbed students all through school, she said.
Gardner is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Municipal Court this morning in the death of Baker, 18, who was a junior at Mifflin High School.
She was a member of the Mifflin track team and yesterday, moments before she would have competed in the shot-put and discus events at a district meet at Dublin Coffman High School, track officials honored Baker.
"We had a young lady who was supposed to compete today, but who was killed yesterday," Mark Moore, head shot-put judge, said as about 20 girls gathered.
"We decided it would be nice to have a moment of silence."
The other five Mifflin girls who were to compete, along with their coach, stayed home.
Baker was shot as she sat in a car with Gardner's ex-girlfriend about 7:30 p.m. at the curb in front of their home at 2066 Parkwood Ave.
Gipson said that Gardner and the girlfriend were arguing over their infant son and that Gardner became incensed when she began calling him names.
Gardner went into the house and got a gun that she said a friend had loaned him. Columbus police say Gardner fired shots into the car, aiming at his girlfriend but hitting Baker instead.
"It was a horrible accident," Gipson said. "He wasn't even trying to kill her; he was trying to scare her."
Gipson said she doesn't believe her son really understood what he was doing.
Her daughter, she said, slumped in the car seat and said, "He shot me." She was dead within minutes.
The fact that Baker didn't appear to suffer much "is a blessing from God," Gipson said.
It wasn't the first time, however, that Gardner had been violent.
He was charged with domestic violence last summer for punching his sister and threatening her with a knife.
According to Municipal Court records, a warrant had been issued for Gardner's arrest from the incident Aug. 20 inside a house on Genessee Avenue. Baker told Mifflin Township police that her brother had charged at her with a folding knife in his hand, saying, "I'm going to cut you."
Gipson said Gardner had been trying to break up a fight between Baker and the mother of his child.
He struck Baker in the head with a closed fist, the court complaint says.
The domestic-violence warrant had not been served when police arrested Gardner at 2027 Levelgreen Dr. several hours after Baker was shot Tuesday night.
"She was vibrant," Gipson said of her daughter. "She would do anything for her friends."
Baker had hoped to go to college and loved to sing, her mother said. She had been a soloist at a number of churches from the time she was very young. Gipson said that her daughter loved to sing Mary Did You Know at Christmastime.
This has been an especially difficult year for Gipson, 44. On Jan. 30, she lost her oldest son, John Jones, 26, to a drug overdose.
And it was a tough, sad day at Mifflin High School, said Athletic Director James Washington. Baker was popular, he said.
Her fellow students have decided to wear pink or red today in memory of her.
