Chaos Breaks out at Mall of America During Islamic Celebration
Alpha News (Minnesota) ^ | 9-16-2016 | Andrea Mayer-Bruestle

BLOOMINGTON, MN On September 12, 2016 at least 10 people were arrested or cited by Bloomington Police after a melee broke out during the Islamic celebration of Eid Al Adha at the Mall of America KARE 11 reports.

According to KARE 11, the people who were arrested or cited all were between the ages of 12-15. Four were boys and six were girls. The police did not comment on what started the melee, but the reports state that those involved were cited on charges of disorderly conduct, obstructing the legal process and giving false information to the police. The video above shows hundreds of young people, many dressed in traditional Muslim attire, running through the mall.

The incident occurred on Eid Al Adha – also known as “The Festival of Sacrifice” an Islamic holy day that celebrates the Prophet Abraham’s obedience to Allah’s request to sacrifice his son, Isaac. On Eid Al Adha, Minnesota Muslims flock to the Mall of America by the tens of thousands. A FOX 9 story posted just hours before the September 12th incident cites the tradition: in “A Pilgrimage to Mall of America on Eid Al Adha,” KMSP reporter Maury Glover states that “anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000 Muslims (celebrate Eid Al Adha) at the MOA.”

I live in a town with a mall on the list. Haven’t been there in a while, but they were able to find some tenants like health care providers and commercial office spaces to give it a pulse. It is not in a high crime area..

They're probably spitting on your hot dog when you're not looking.

Don't buy ANYTHING from anyone wearing a burkha, ever.

Interestingly, the first ones they sent were darker skinned Somalis from the south of Somalia, mostly animist and Christian. These guys got news stories about how they walked 3-4 miles one way to work during the Minnesota winters.

Then, the ELCA started sponsoring those from the Muslim majority central and north of Somalia in droves. The ELCA wasn't the only reason they picked Minnesota. They found Minnesota and Maine had the most generous state welfare programs in America. Just short of a quarter century later, both states are full of them.

Think about it. Somalia has the climate of California, the population density of Kansas and over 2000 miles of coastline astride one of the busiest trade routes in the world. If the Jews or the Chinese were in charge of a location like that, they'd be one of the wealthiest countries in Africa.

“What kind of religion celebrates at a mall?”

“Don’t tell my wife... she’ll want to join.”

That’s very funny! The world’s in such a mess, a little levity is most welcome. Thanks for the laugh of the weekend!

The brainwashed followers of Saint Orange Julius?

My first thought, too! Really? You go to a mall and not your church?

"It will be a sad story when the Mall of America will be changed to a Mosque!"

The saddest story on FreeRepublic is that a liar, faker and fraud like *YOU* is posting onthe same Forum as real patriots and honorable veterans. hondact200 - you still have a raft of unanswered questions. They stem from posts like this one:

"It is also happening with vets. i have military service related injury related to the bombing in lebanon in 1983. after having had 50 surgeries i am not in the best of health. I am 1 of 80 service members whom survived the bombing with severe injuries. Lets see i have had surgeries on the face , hands, knees, back, neck, stomach and so forth. I have medications for asthma and COPD because of the dust inhaled in the bombing and susequent days of being entombed in a collapsed building. On October 23, 2010 it will be 27 years."

When we called you out on it on this thread last November you suddenly didn't have anything more to say.

Honda? We know your claim of being in a collapsed building for days is bullcrap. And your number of surgeries keeps changing - downward. I'll bet you were never even a Marine in the first place.

Sound advice, Leni !

Given the current climate, I take it further by avoiding dealings with anyone appearing arabic.
The 'good ones' don't like it ?  Too bad.
Don't want that reaction ?  Police your ranks.

 islamophobia   No
islamonausea  Yes

"Observations."

Sorry. I think that you took my remark personally and that was not my intention.

Muslims seem to grow up under heavy indoctrination. In other words, they don’t think for themselves.

Hondact, this issue has gone on for far too long. You need to answer the charges you’re being accused of, or be thought a shameless liar by default.

If you misspoke or exaggerated your service related experiences, you need to just admit it. Come clean about it, or defend your claims - one or the other!

You’re being accused of stolen valor, man. That is a very serious charge, yet you remain silent. Do something about it, for crying out loud.
