By the way, seeing as to how you were completely unable to substantiate one single one of your claims regarding Muslims dancing in the streets of the Us after the attacks on 9/11, I decided to do it for you.

There you go.

Unfortunately, these Arabs are not in Detroit, they are in Dearborn Michigan.

One last thing...this picture was posted today, and these people are celebrating the capture of a known terrorist, and mass murderer by American troops.

Whatever!

By the way, seeing as to how you were completely unable to substantiate one single one of your claims regarding Muslims dancing in the streets of the Us after the attacks on 9/11, I decided to do it for you.

I did, I told you it was on the Michael Medved radio show, no url link is involved. What do you want me to do. slash my wrists?

I also do not remember mentioning Detroit. If I did, may have erred. I did however mention Seattle.

I also mentioned Lewiston Maine. Here read this, "warlords" vying for the lofty position of "King of the welfare cheats." Tribalism in America.

LEWISTON Two groups seek role of community leader

By Lisa Chmelecki

Staff Writer

As his friend drove the last leg of the trip from Atlanta to Lewiston, Said Mohamed stared out of the window and planned his argument.

He decided that after he found his wife and children in their new apartment in Lewiston, he would hug them, tell them he missed them, then he would ask his wife if she were ready to move again, to a real city.

Although Mohamed had worried about his children in the ghettos of Atlanta, he couldn’t imagine living in a place where Somali immigrants were so new, so unsettled.

He knew it would take months — if not years — for Somalis to find their place in the Lewiston community.

And he knew that the process would not only involve tension between the immigrants and the natives, it also would pit Somalis against one another, as different groups vied for positions as leaders of the community.

Mohamed wasn’t sure he wanted to be involved in the process of getting established. But he was forced to stay after his wife told him she wasn’t packing up and moving again.

That was nearly a year ago.

A former chemistry professor who left Somalia in 1991, Mohamed is now at the center of the internal feud that he predicted upon his arrival.

A bridge

Two groups – one that has existed for more than a year and another recently formed by Mohamed and more than two dozen others – are privately and politely jockeying to be leaders of the community.

Members of each group, the Somali Community Services and the newly formed African Immigrants Association, say they want the same thing.

They want to serve as a bridge between African immigrants and the local, state and federal agencies that help them.

Both groups want to set up a multicultural center, both want to improve transportation, day-care and educational services for the Somalis and both want to appoint a board of directors that would be identified as leaders of the community.

Despite these similar goals, an effort to join forces has failed. And, as each group moves forward with its plans, accusations are flying.

“They only want to help certain people who believe in certain things,” Mohamed said, referring to the members of Somali Community Services as religious fanatics who only look out for people in their own families and clans.

Mohamed accused Somali Community...blah, blah, blah.

Should I ask them how they feel about Saddam?
