MN Muslims Demand Pork-Free Food Products From Welfare Food Bank
The Gateway Pundit ^ | September 22, 2014 | Jim Hoft

Minnesota Somali-Americans protested last week demanding pork-free food products from their welfare food bank.

“It’s about human rights also, basic human rights to get the proper food and also healthy food,” said Imam Hassan Mohamud.

“Some food shelves are trying to meet the need, but some of them already got canned beans that have already been mixed with pork — and there is a literacy issue here,” said community activist Fartun Weli.

With signs in hand, they marched to the Hennepin County commissioners’ office to ask Peter McLaughlin for help. Most live in his district and feel he can help them help themselves.

McLaughlin and the group disagree over the availability of halal or kosher food at food shelves in Minnesota.

He did say they would need to petition all county commissioners for the money to make this food shelf a reality.

The Somalis in MN are ugly people. They have a colony there to be near their leader, the blind sheik imprisoned near Rochester for the ‘93 World Trade Center bombing. Why in the world did our government allow them to enter our country?

Here is a better idea.

Let these demanding Muslims go back to where they spawned.
There, they can eat all the nasty foods they wish to eat.

Congratulations, Minnesooota, on your welcoming, very progressive and open minded attitudes about inclusion and diversity. This is what it got you, and worse is doubtless on the way....

I had to simply sit at the table until I finished everything.

For a long time, too.

A damned long time.

Even on Sundays.

I remember it, and this was long ago.

Similar would result if the GITMO prisoners ever got to the US -- for trials, etc.

Remember, in 2008, both McCain and Obama ran on closing GITMO and moving those prisoners to the USA -- for trials, etc.

When I told my mom I didn’t like something at the supper table - the response was “Eat it or wear it.”

Beets draining down your forehead does sort of render a change of attitude.

I still won’t eat beets. But I stopped complaining about it.

Shouldn’t this have already been available for Jews anyways? Or how about poor vegetarians? I have the feeling a lot of this is just some absurd ranting to get attention .

How about some other Somali-Americans chipping in to help their less-fortunate brothers with some pork-free vittles?



Bueller?



Bueller...?
