An Idaho militia group protested the arrival of Syrian refugees by issuing dark warnings based on anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.
The III% Idaho group rallied Monday outside the statehouse in Boise, where about 100 anti-government activists, many wearing flak jackets and other armor, waved American flags and banners promoting their pro-gun militia group, reported Hatewatch.
"This isn't some made-up crap we're spewing out here, like they're leading you to believe across the way," shouted Brandon Curtiss, president of the right-wing group.
Actually, "made-up crap" describes a lot of what the III% Idaho group is spewing.
The group has been protesting the College of Southern Idaho's refugee resettlement program for several weeks, warning that Islamic State radicals were sending "sleeper" terrorists to western nations among refugees from war-torn Syria.
About 300 refugees are expected to be screened and then resettled in communities throughout the state.
Federal authorities admit that gaps do exist in screening Syrian refugees, but they said these migrants will still undergo extensive background checks - although the results are confidential, which makes it difficult to assure alarmists.
"There are many terrorist organizations out there who have stated numerous times that they will manipulate the refugee crisis to spread radical Islam," said Chris McIntire, a spokesman for the III% group.
"We are seeing this in Europe," McIntire said. "We have seen it for the past several months, where refugees are rioting in the streets, they are waving Islamic flags, they are praying to Allah, they are demanding Sharia law, which includes the second-class treatment of women."
Anti-Muslim extremists - including Brigitte Gabriel of ACT for America, Pam Geller and Mark Levin - have been promoting those conspiracy theories in right-wing circles and then out onto social media.
The III% movement was co-founded by pro-gun, anti-government activist Mike Vanderboegh, who promotes the idea that the Second Amendment allows unsatisfactory election results to be overturned by armed revolt.
The group's name refers to the apocryphal belief that only 3 percent of colonists participated in the American Revolution, and group members take pains to describe themselves as a mainstream conservative group — although their rhetoric frequently overlaps with other far-right "patriot" groups and even white supremacist groups.
The far-right connection is missed by some media outlets, including an Idaho TV station that reported the III% percent movement "stands for conservative protections of the constitution and community safety."
Sounds pretty tame - but the group’s leaders promote a nationalistic agenda that presents Americans as victims of an ethnic minority protected by liberal elites.
"We want to take care of Idahoans first, and we are tired of them taking the dwindling resources we already have for the state of Idaho, and funneling that over to refugee programs to help these guys coming in here, and ignoring our Idaho citizens – our homeless, our veterans, our students that need help here first," Curtiss said. "We're not against refugees, what we're saying is, we need a better process."
"They're draining our dwindling resources that's already in place and not looking out for Idahoans first, or U.S. citizens for that matter," he added.
Article is biased but at least these Idahoans are doing something and making their voices heard. Sounds like common sense speech and comments. Looks like just regular folks in Idaho taking a stand.

Call to Action in Twin-Falls, Idaho - Idaho III% Statement of concerns.
They emphasize there is not a database, no vetting process for the 'immigrants' coming in. I think we all have the same concerns.
To me this is a sign that people are getting more and more concerned about the coming invasion.
I am glad to see at least SOME people in this country are waking up and taking a stand for America. Even if it is not 3%…that may be enough to prevent us from falling down the rabbit hole like Europe has.
Impossible to do a background check on refugees, those who promise to do so are peeing on us while saying it’s raining.
Importing death cultists will not end up well.
Soon to be accused of Islamophobia.

Amen to that. Vetting these people is just common sense. It's pretty obvious the whole thing was planned by Obama, his minions and the DNC. 'More Muslims and more Dems.' Obama's happy. . as are the Clintons . . think Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.
I’d rather see the group gather with ax handles and baseball bats and a spokesman speaking in complete sentences.
It sends a stronger message and leaves them wondering, without setting yourself up to have the National Guard descend on you.
How many rapes, murders, Cloward-Piven destruction of the welfare net. . . What's going to be the cost? Someone said the other day the Saudis are committed on building mosques in every city. Yes, this is not going to end up well.
I've always been a believer in preventive medicine. Even if Trump gets in - the only one who's said he would deal with this - it won't be until January 20, 2017. They're planning on a full bore importation from now until then, you know they'll 'ramp it up' as much as possible. Man oh man. . .
Folks here in north Idaho are well prepared to deal with Muslim rapeugees.

Thanks for posting. Hadn't seen that.
Just had a thought: How many of these 'refugees' is Putin taking in? I bet none. Just looked it up:
Russia refuses to help Syrian refugees Never thought I would agree with Putin. .
I see you’re in Idaho, EXCELLENT! I was hoping this info might find it’s way to those guys. Their concerns are well founded.
Yes we are!
We can see what is happening in Germany and our government is giving the ‘nothing to see in Europe.. Move along...’
And no need to talk about it much. It’s going to get real... interesting.
Funny how the concept of leaderless resistance seems to elude the Gramscian progressive Left. It’s their fatal blindness. With the emphasis on ‘fatal’.
Those coming will probably do something after next year’s election, so Obama can declare martial law and suspend the transfer of the office.
I effing love Noumenon
