14 Muslims Arrested in Three States in Connection with Somalian Jihadist Group

From the WaPo, 4 people have been charged with providing support for the terrorist group al-Shabab in Somalia:

[...] The charges against suspects in Minnesota, California and Alabama include providing support for the terrorist group al-Shabab in Somalia, two U.S. officials said Thursday. Most of the people are U.S. citizens, with some supporting the terrorist organization from the United States and others traveling to Somalia to do so. Al-Shabab is a Somali insurgent faction that embraced a radical form of Islam similar to the harsh, conservative brand practiced by Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Its fighters, numbering several thousand strong, have been battling Somalia's weakened government and have been branded a terrorist group by the U.S. and other Western countries.
[...] Two indictments unsealed in Minnesota on Thursday added five new names to a list of people charged in the investigation in that state, bringing the total charged in the state to 19. Two were women from the Rochester, Minn., area accused of raising money for al-Shabaab.
Roughly 20 men -- all but one of Somali descent -- left Minnesota from December 2007 through October 2009 to join al-Shabab, a violent group that seeks to establish an Islamic state in Somalia.
The federal government designated al-Shabab a foreign terrorist organization in March 2008, and said it has ties to al-Qaida.
In another case unrelated to Thursday's developments, a 26-year-old Chicago man who told an FBI informant that he didn't expect to reach the age of 30 was charged with plotting to go to Somalia to become a suicide bomber for al-Qaida and al-Shabab.
During a brief hearing Wednesday, prosecutors told a judge that the Chicago man, Shaker Masri, attempted to provide support through the use of a weapon of mass destruction outside the United States.

According to the WaPo, Eric Holder says the charges reflect a disturbing trend that leaders in Muslim communities in the United States are trying to help law enforcement agencies address. This, while at the same time the administration continues to refer to jihad as a "holy struggle" and a legitimate tenant of Islam, and that Islamists are not our enemy. In other words, this is coming from an administration that remains stuck in Jihad Denial Syndrome and ridiculously refuses to acknowledge that individuals "might" -just might - be incited to take the actions they did because of radical Islam? Yet where are they going for help? Answer - the MUSLIM community. Isn't this essentially admiting that radical Islam and jihad is associated with MUSLIMs? Hello!
