MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Some Somali Americans in the Twin Cities say fear of Muslims has led to many people in the community feeling isolated. Some say they’ve even experienced Islamophobia first hand.

Community leaders say that the recent massacre in California and Donald Trump’s call for a ban on all Muslim immigrants are making things worse for Muslims in America.

“So many Muslims are afraid to come out of their houses,” said Farhio Khalif of the East African Women’s Voice. “They are afraid to talk to their neighbors, there is so much going on, there is so much hate going on in this country, because of the statement that [Trump] made. And that’s unacceptable in this country.”

I only wish the homofascists and trannies supposedly felt this way.

Which I believe they are making up. More people are legitimately afraid of muslims here, than there are actual afraid muslims, here.

The hatred did not originate with Trump. The Muslims have been slaughtering infidels for 1400 years.

Why? It’s not like there have been 27,000 terrorist attacks by Muslims since 911. Oh, wait. YES IT IS!

A phobia is an irrational fear.

I don’t think being concerned about terrorists is irrational.

Hey, I have a couple of suggestions. First, don't commit atrocities against innocent people. Second, when some of your brethren commit these atrocities against innocent people show some remorse and be outraged that these animals are impacting your lives in a country that doesn't want you there in the first place.

Any questions?

“The Somali Community says it has been fighting for years against recruiters that prey on their young to radicalize them to fight for groups like ISIS and al-Shabaab.”

Well, fight harder, fight like you really mean it.

When we moved to a new community, I was 6 and in the middle of first grade. I was the new kid. The little kid, and I got bullied.

But, I had an older sister that couldn’t stand her baby brother coming home every day from school, crying.

One day, she followed far behind me on my walk to school. The walk that terrorized me every day. On schedule, the neighborhood bullies appeared and did their thing with me.

Until one of them wound up with a bloody nose. And a fat lip.

That’s how you fight bullies.

Not with words.

With REAL action.
