" The words “Allahu akbar” (Arabic for “Allah is Great”)

"Akbar" is arabic for great. The phrase, called "the prayer of fear" reads "Allah is great" in english. It is what Mohammad used to say before he raided every village.

Muslims don't care about what infidels think.

Why has this happened - Minnesota freepers?

My family is NOT from MN, but I got a feel for the place when
visiting my brother when he got his Masters degree at the U. MN
St. Paul campus.

I suspect Ellis got voted in with help from the influx of Somalis
and other Muslims.
They are throwing their weight around...and taking advantage of
"Minnesota Nice".
Over the past year or so, I've seen the stories of Muslims in
The Twin Cities Muslims pushing around the dhimmis:
1. getting art classes to have a ban on portrayals of humans at
one charter school
and
2. Rufusal of Muslim taxi drivers at the airport to take passengers
transporting booze.

As with the rest of America, I fear the local populace will vote
for dhimmitude rather than stamp out this Islamic Bravo Sierra.

Muslims don't care about what infidels think.

I learned that when I was deployed to Saudi Arabia more then a decade ago.
Their religious intolerance of anything but Islam would make the ACLU proud.

He'll have to swear aloud to uphold the Constitution of the United States before any other doctrine or document. If he swears to that on the koran, it's a kind of muslim blasphemy. Were he smarter, he would've agreed to swear his oath on the Bible; he'd then have no qualms about putting muslim interests ahead of American interests (not that he'll be bothered either way, like as not).
