Somali leaders make case for more youth programs

Hani Haybe recently faced the skeptical mother of a player on her coed soccer team.

The mother had just heard that several young Somali-American women left the Twin Cities to help the militant group ISIL’s fight in Syria and Iraq. Was this soccer team really just about soccer?

“Your daughter will be safe,” Haybe, the coach, told the mother during a half-hour of grilling. “We’re not recruiting kids to go overseas.”

In fact, some Somali community leaders are arguing that programs such as Haybe’s are a key line of defense against attempts to recruit young people locally. They have seized on reports that local youths have left to aid the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant to make a case for more funding for after-school and athletic programs for Somali youths.

Leaders have recently lobbied the Minneapolis school board, Park Board, City Council — even U.S. Attorney Andy Luger.

“Combating terrorism is not only about indictment and investigation,” said Abdirizak Bihi of the Somali Education and Social Advocacy Center. “It’s about youth engagement. It’s about giving hope.”

the ONLY program for these Somali youth that will work for them is to get them into church and get them all to accept the Lord Jesus Christ and become good CHRISTIANS . To get them to renounce the bogus faith of islam altogether . To get them to get their minds out of the medieval mohammedan fantasy that they live and their entire backwards culture anbd society is steeped in .

It should be an immigration requirement for immigrant into the USA : if you are a Muslim , you must denounce islam and become a Christian .

remember the jihadist who stabbed Theo Van Gough to death as he was riding his bicycle in Amsterdam?

he, too, belonged to a soccer team paid for entirely by Dutch taxpayers.

believe it or not they would send a van for free around his neighborhood to pick them up and drop them off for their soccer practices.

they all lived on welfare and after the Dutch paid to build them a Halal apartment but the men feel rejected it because apartment visitors could see the kitchen area where their women would therefore be unsafe

This is so crazy. They’re actually talking about soccer as a way to combat treason. This whole country has become one big continuous Monty Python sketch.

Somalians are famous for: piracy, terrorism, violent crime, sex crimes, financial crime, welfare fraud, immigration fraud.

But let's keep immigrating them into our homeland.
