Historically a city of French Canadian immigrants, Lewiston, Maine is now also home to some 6,000 Somalis, including shop owner and father of five Mohamed Heban, who moved to Lewiston in 2002.
But in a recent BBC documentary, Lewiston's mayor, Boston native Bob Macdonald, sounded less than welcoming.
"When you come here, you accept our culture and leave your culture at the door," he said in the documentary...

Mr. Mayor, don’t back down!
They’re not here to assimilate, they’re here to occupy and conquer.
Some liberal moron (I know... that’s redundant) left a hateful, ignorant comment at the site. Do these people have any idea what is going to happen when Muslims become a major force in a country? Perhaps they should look at what is happening in Europe.

It all started under CLINTON!
In 1999, at the urging of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), the United States government began preparations to resettle an estimated 12,000 refugees from the Bantu minority ethnic group in Somalia to select cities throughout the United States. Most of the early arrivals in the United States settled in Clarkston, Georgia, a city adjacent to Atlanta. However, they were mostly assigned to low rent, poverty-stricken inner city areas, so many began to look to resettle elsewhere in the U.S.[7]
Word soon spread that Lewiston had a low crime rate, good schools and cheap housing.[8] Somalis subsequently began a secondary migration from other states to the former mill town, and after 2005, many Bantus followed suit.[7]
I was in Maine at a small beach town that was swarming with African Muslims. The men glared at me as I was not dressed up to Shira standards.
One guy was kind of jacking up the Muzzie strut and glare at me and I shouted at him in a crowd “What the F are you looking at you pervert.” He about died. He was scared to death and ran away.
Feel sorry for Maine towns that got lassoed with that immigration trend. Gross.
We brought the skinnies from blackhawk down here. What possible reason was there for America to import these people who have nothing in common with our culture?
And yes, I agree with the mayor. Leave your culture at home. Remember that it was your culture that made your country unlivable. Bring your music, your food, your literature etc,. And I honestly don’t care who wronged your ancestors, or why, or how badly. Hutus, Vlad the impaler, potato famine, orange order, palestinians, I simply dont care. Not even a little.
If an Armenian and a Turk can’t be next door neighbors and cook some brats, they have no business in this country,,, period.
Oh,, and you have to also understand, we get a crack at your women, thats just the way it is.
"When you come here, you accept our culture and leave your culture at the door," he said in the documentary...
One reason for the USA's strength over the years is the fact that when immigrants came here, they came to be Americans, forming a "melting pot," NOT to set up satellite offices of their old countries. Of course, the last thing that leftists want is for the USA to be strong, and hate the concept of American Exceptionalism. So of course they work hard to ensure the balkanization of the USA, partly because of the strife it causes, but also to help create a permanent underclass which they'll use to further the destruction of the USA.

Idiot Dem. Baldacci was Gov. while this was happening. What would you expect?
I would. Except Maine has been a democrat shithole since '92. They are just getting what they have voted for all these years.
Hey Sara, I want to go party with you. Let's go up to Ogunquit, have some lobster and party. LOL
Ha, good for you Sara. Show those Muzzies what American women are made of.
LOL!
Now here is a Red Blooded American Male that the world has come to respect/love.
Your response reminded me of the old British WW2 popular comment,"The trouble with the bloody Yanks is that they are overpaid, oversexed, and over here".
Somali culture doesn’t even work in Somalia, that is why they come here. If they can’t live without their stone age culture crap they need to leave.
I was making small-talk with a Somali Muslim cab driver once, in Seattle.
I asked him if he missed home and he said he liked the US well enough but that we give women way too much power and that he was going to have to send one of his three wives back to Somalia because she had adopted a “you can’t treat me that way, we’re in America” attitude.
I can honestly say I’ve never wanted to punch a human being more than I wanted to slam that asshole right in the face.
