Wow. Interesting and not in a good way. Apparently we have a Somali population here, I have never run into them though. I posted on here before that my husband's church did some good works deed and went to some apartment complex where they live and cleaned it up for them. Some of the women came out and helped and the men stayed in the apartments.

I found out, just yesterday, my daughter's childhood friend is interning (she is going to college to become a teacher) at a refugee school in Tucson. I had no idea there was even such a place. Anyhow, it's largely Somali. Apparently, they have some blood feuds and bring them over here. I couldn't quite make out if it was Somali's having problems with other Somalis or other ethnic groups.

She said the kids and families are fighting among themselves. One family, she said, stoned another family (not sure what that means). I have to ask her more next time I see her.

I told her I didn't think it was a very safe environment for her.

No, it’s not a safe environment for her. Islam is evil and Somalia is a lawless place, they bring all that here. There are more Somalis in my state than anywhere in the world besides Somali. We live in a tiny town with, so far, no Muslims. But, our church, our girls’ dance studio and stores are in the nearby town that is about 20% Somali.
