'The Twin Cities have an ISIS problem'
American Thinker ^ | 09/14/2015 | Carol Brown

Posted on 09/14/2015 5:49:44 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Minneapolis-St. Paul has what the media refers to as “an ISIS problem.”

It’s no coincidence ISIS is recruiting in the Twin Cities area. There is a huge population of 30,000 Somali Muslims who live there.

I would say the area has a Muslim problem, but that’s just me.

A recent Business Insider report states there has been a “string of Islamic State-related arrests over roughly the last year” due to the “large Somali community.” Andrew Lugar, U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, speaking at an FBI news conference stated: "To be clear. We have a terror-recruiting problem in Minnesota…Parents and loved ones should know that there is not one master recruiter organizing in the Somali community locally…the person radicalizing your son, your brother, your friend, may not be a stranger. It may be their best friend right here in town.”

The article also addresses former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s community outreach program to curb the growing trend of young Somalis joining ISIS -- a program the Twin Cities participated in. The program included “outreach to Somali youth, after-school and mentorship programs, community engagement by local police officers, increasing the number of Somali officers, and jobs and education programs.”

You know, because if only they had jobs, all would be well. Or so some still contend, against all evidence.  

Meanwhile, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges jumped into the fray on the one year anniversary of the outreach pilot program: "Minneapolis' Somali community is a tremendous asset to our city.” (Mayor Hodges is a full blown dhimmi as you can see in the photo below, wearing a hijab to a meeting with members of the Somali community.)

Maybe the Jew-hating Jew, Al Franken wants to attend a prayer rally on a Friday, maybe they should start holding Imam meetings at the Mall o America and do a little strategic planning/hating from there. Heck, turn the mall into a mosque.

“Minneapolis’ Somali community is a tremendous asset to our city.”

I’m at a complete loss for words except to say a Somali is without a doubt one of the most useless humans on the face of the earth.

Any ISIS problem here or in Europe can be a double edge sword.

On one side the tragedy of someone getting their head lopped off.

On the other side, the public finally waking up to how treacherous and evil some Muslims are and the fact that they should not be letting them in to the country.

But then again some RINO would somehow or another justify the beheadings as an act of love and fight to get more in to this country. And traitors like Boner & McCommie will see to it we get many many more.

‘The Twin Cities have an ISIS problem’

Aw, ya think?

Importing all those Somalis after Slick bombed an aspirin factory and abruptly withdrew when 123 elite U.S. soldiers drop into Somalia to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord and find themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily-armed Somalis.

This was capitulation, not mercy. Sure, a lot of those Somalis would have been captured and killed by their fellow countrymen, but that is because they would have been on the side of the OPPRESSORS, and the freedom-fighting Somalis may possibly have thrown the Islamic Jihadists out of Somalia, had we not interfered with the natural course of events.

Much of Eastern Africa is ALREADY Muslim, and not politically reliable, as the factions within Islam are locked in a mutual suicide pact. Moving their tribal and factional differences to the territory once known as “the United States of America” does nothing whatsoever to mitigate or ameliorate those differences, but it gives them room to train up and get fit for the battle that is coming.

Not hard to envision a Planet of the Apes type scenario. 100 years from now, a visitor might accidentally stumble in front of a huge mosque, revealing part of the Mall of America sign.

It’s always kinda funny when people get what they ask for and it’s not exactly what they expected. Especially when what they were going to get was obvious.

I admit to knowing very little about Somalis,but maybe the mayor should give a more detailed explanation as to how they are an asset to the city. Maybe she should explain why she is mayor.

Sigh. How about now?

My elementary school in the suburb of Bloomington was converted to a Muslim community center. That part breaks my heart. Here is the part that concerns me: it is exactly 1 mile from the end of a runway, directly in the flight path, of the Mpls airport. They have been busted for ISIS recruiting at that location. It wouldn’t take a high tech missile to bring down a passenger plane from that location...the planes are low enough to be hit by a low-tech RPG.

The bowling alley where I was in a Saturday morning league when I was twelve, burned to the ground and was replaced by a mosque. Probably unrelated events.

Over 1,000 Somali’s work at the airport!
Feel very safe knowing they have access to the planes and your luggage.

St. Cloud. Local Somali thugs now brawl with Hispanic thugs from Minneapolis. Apartment buildings are overrun with them. Park far from the door at stores to avoid them denting your car. They trash stores and their children run amuck. They are upset with the anti-Muslim talk, so they are protesting by pooping in store aisles. They respect nobody and nothing American. A problem of quickly growing proportions.
