This happened in Lewiston, Maine, the same place where a ham steak left on a lunch bag was investigated as a hate crime.

Lewiston, Maine, where the government resettled 20,000 Somali Muslim immigrants and then told the local townspeople who had lived there for generations to just shut up and deal with it.

“Lewiston, Maine, where the government resettled 20,000 Somali Muslim immigrants and then told the local townspeople who had lived there for generations to just shut up and deal with it.”

I wonder what the Indians would have to say about that?

The people should try to remove that government and posthumously punish the individuals involved.

Lewiston,Maine,where the government resettled 20,000 Somali Muslim immigrants.....

Hallo there Drew68, not to be a sort of troll like naysayer but..... Yes, you are right in your statement about any governmental officials. Sure thing and I sadly chuckled when it was stated a governmental source got a glad hander usual suspect, a Canadian woman involved in things Canadian. Briefly knowing how to kowtow to "new" and exotic cultures. Hired her. We in Canada know this type of bureaucrat.

It is numbers however. I got that initially 1100 Somali came to Lewiston, from Georgia. The authorities there cut back of welfare payments. The astute Somalis figured out that welfare low claims Maine would be more amenable. The poor mayor got in hot water, because this decent man pleaded with the "Somali community" in Georgia not to overload Lewiston.

The usual suspects called him a "racist". Ok, that being said, I took the liberty of contacting SheLion. Perhaps she can update us on the numbers. I pray not, repeat not, 20,000. (laughs).

The worst problem they had previous was the Sonny Liston/Ali fight. A one round fiasco.

This is the closest major town to my uncle.

Was this really a gov thing, or like in MN, really “do-gooder” Christian churches hosting poor black Somalis to come into the country - who just happen to be Moslems?
