What’s it like, being Muslim in San Diego?
The question arose for me earlier this year when I decided to hit Ocean Beach on maybe the worst night of the winter. It was Wednesday, the end of market day. Rainstorms exploding in off the Pacific, marquees flapping, most market folks packing up, re-boxing their fruit. But not the guys in the black tent near where Bacon crosses Newport. From inside the gust-wrenched canvas, half a dozen men shouted to scurrying passersby to come on in for the ultimate hand-warmer. Guled and Mohammed and Abdi and Hamza and a bunch of other young Somali men were selling the thing I’d weathered the storm to find: samosas, the Middle East and India’s great snack gift to the world. Aah, yes. Down in three gulps. A beef, a vegetarian, and a Californian adaptation (cream cheese and pineapple), all enclosed in hot, golden, flaky pastry.
We got to talking. These laughing guys were all students. All Muslim. All living a double life. Studying by night, selling samosas by day at the various farmers’ markets around town, including here and at UCSD. I’d always known the Somalis were an outgoing group. Somalia embraces the longest seaboard in Africa. They’re coastal people who have survived strangers with different cultures landing on their shores for millennia.

Get ready for warfare, people. They have no rules, no boundaries. Expect the worst and we'll be prepared for victory.
Gawd, what a steaming pile of garbage. Complete puff peace on islam. Unreal.
He, Mr. Manson, maybe ask why there isn’t a single muslim country that holds to sharia law that is at least barely functional? And why EVERY single armed conflict in the world today has muslims on one side and seculars/Christians/jews/other muslims on the other?
Unfreakingbelievable.

All very cute and multi culti, until they gain critical mass, and then it’s our hands that will get cut off, or our heads.
The writer must be related to Charlie, and I suppose that accounts for his affinity regarding his subjects..
Unbelievable - these animals eat with their hands .... disgusting!
>> “This is the first rule,” Duali says, leaning into his meal. “Eat with your hands. The feel, the touch is almost as important as the taste. Eating with knives and forks divorces you from the feel of the food. But only bring it to your mouth with your right hand. Your left is reserved for unclean things, even though we wash our hands before every meal, of course.”<<
Dhimmi indoctrination BS!
When the Green Flag flies over California — no more “Bacon St.!”
Left hand is reserved for unclean things?
Well that’s perfect, because I’m left handed.
*evil grin*
I would be very surprised indeed if there were 100k Muslims in the San Diego area. That’s 5% of the population, or on a national basis 15M.
I don’t care if it was quoted in the local paper as an FBI figure, I strongly suspect somebody misplaced a decimal point.
Eat with your hands?
Of course ! And, you’re so sophisticated, wow, washing your stink finger before every meal.
Another islamic tradition that has helped the world culture expand into the vast technological marvel it has become.
What’s next?
Old guys buggering young guys being acceptable because the young guys don’t have facial hair?
Oh, wait , you’ve already got that too. No wonder left wing gays aren’t morbidly afraid of you.
Just love that crazy islamic allah crapbar thing. Peanut Butter Und Ham
The food there talking about is something anyone would eat with their hands. Do you eat french fries or a sandwich with a knife and fork? There is plenty else to criticize of all things.
I think your right. I live in San Diego and that number is way too high. Ten thousand might be right though.
The Muslims wish to live in the 7th century. Fine. But they need to do it in their own part of the world, and leave our civilization alone. It's not about fair, it's about mutual survival.
Worse than simply eating with their hands - they may at times lift food to their mouths with the LEFT hand, the one they touch to the despicable nether end of the digestive tract.
The proper manner is to keep the left hand limply beneath the table, while raising dribbling handfuls to the mouth with the right hand, meanwhile scattering crumbs and spatters on clothes and the facial hair. Knives are for threatening your neighbor with mutilation, spoons are for taking out your neighbor’s eye, and forks are for driving into the back of your neighbor’s hand as he tries to sneak one of the remaining morsals off your plate.
Yep. Puff Piece><p.They treat their women with IMMENSE respect, which accounts for the honor killings, no doubt.
