The Twin Cities have an ISIS problem

2015-09-14

[BusinessInsider] "Minneapolis' Somali community is a tremendous asset to our city. We must all support this community and their ability to contribute to our prosperity, or we will not be the city we need to be," Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges
(D-WTF?)
said in a statement touting the pilot program's one-year benchmark.

"The extent to which some people in the community are turning to violence as a perceived solution to problems is the extent to which we must provide actual solutions to real problems that people are facing," she added. "The steps we are taking today build on our work to strengthen
Great idea, Yeronner!
the Somali community."

#10 Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, that is just plain crazy that the DOJ is paying Somalis not to be terrorists. Next, the Bloods and Crips will get a piece of that.

#8 The sad thing is that the Somali immigration to Minneapolis is the shining beacon of goods news for Europeans. We recently had a Swedish task force visit us to find out what was the secret of our "success" in integrating them (????).

#7 Wherever Muslims immigrate, the bloody borders of Islam are established.

It is true that some among the Muslim immigrants wish to assimilate. But they are largely deterred by the community's iron enforcement of community cohesion. That's what 'honor killings' are about.

Given the immigrants' fundamentally hostile attitude there's nothing the host nation can do to promote assimilation.

Permitting Islamic immigration is always a bad idea.

#6 From what I understood the Somali make up a large majority of the taxi driver population which is an industry being put out of business by Uber right now.

#5 Tremendous asset? Did they invent a cure for cancer or faster than light transportation? Did they produce another Apple, another Microsoft or even another Ben and Jerry?

AFAIK, what the Somali community has produced is higher levels than normal of crime, higher levels than normal of welfare and higher levels than normal of Jihadism. Replace the Somalis with people of most other parts of the world and you will get a plus not a minus.

#3 The US Department of Justice on Wednesday announced that a young man from Minneapolis, Minnesota, pleaded guilty to charges related to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL

Actually, the jury did come in with a decision--guilty. Maybe not such a good contribution to the community after all.

#2 We must all support this community and their ability to contribute to our prosperity

Betsy, thought the jury was hung up on the decision.

#1 "What my community, the Somali-American community, needs today is no less than a 'Marshall Plan' tailor-made to the community's employment challenges," Minneapolis City Council member Abdi Warsame, who was born in Somalia, said when the plan was presented at the White House.

"Give us Jizya or we will give you death!"
