#1 My question is why were these people allowed to migrate in the first place? When your religion influences your health care your nuts.

#2 In the case of the Maine Somalis, they weren't "allowed," they were actively sought out and shipped over en masse thanks to the local Catholic social services. They are now a permanent and embittered subclass sucking up the scant resources of Maine's social welfare system. Just google on "lewiston" and "somali" and you'll find the whole story.

#3 LL: Same in London SE3 - they stole and ate the donkeys that were used for children's rides on Blackheath common.

#4 "...a woman who has been surgically rendered asexual through circumcision - not an Islamic practice but one that flourishes in Islamic societies - will have no desire to stray and cause the husband to lose face - or make demands he canât fullfil. "

Well said. One note though-use of the word "circumcision" is not exactly accurate. Clitorectomy is not akin to male circumcision; it is akin to male castration. The organ of sexual pleasure is cut off. (But "asexual" pretty much communicates that.)

BTW-3 1/2 years ago our town saw an influx of refugees from Somalia. They had big time culture shock-most of the women didn't know what an oven was for. Snow and cold weather rendered them stunned, and the concept of clocks was a complete mystery.

#5 I do agree that hospital gowns could use a redesign in general, not just for Muslim modesty.

I think a more accurate term would be Female Bobbitting.

(A joke about an extremely serious problem)

#7 Bobbitting-That is a definite improvement on terminology. There's not an American around who would mistake what it means.

#8 Catholic Charities are moving Somalis into Fort Wayne as well. I guess I am glad to see any Somalis make it out of Somalia even if I pay more property tax. The group we are getting are decendents from Bantu tribesmen that ended up in Somalia as slaves. The American Midwest has a better record of assimilating diverse racial and ethnic people when compared with the record of the Horn of Africa. We'll watch the donkeys.
