MN Muslims Demand Pork-Free Food Products From Welfare Food Bank
The Gateway Pundit ^ | September 22, 2014 | Jim Hoft

Minnesota Somali-Americans protested last week demanding pork-free food products from their welfare food bank.

“It’s about human rights also, basic human rights to get the proper food and also healthy food,” said Imam Hassan Mohamud.

“Some food shelves are trying to meet the need, but some of them already got canned beans that have already been mixed with pork — and there is a literacy issue here,” said community activist Fartun Weli.

With signs in hand, they marched to the Hennepin County commissioners’ office to ask Peter McLaughlin for help. Most live in his district and feel he can help them help themselves.

McLaughlin and the group disagree over the availability of halal or kosher food at food shelves in Minnesota.

He did say they would need to petition all county commissioners for the money to make this food shelf a reality.

I got the feeling they probably didn't want pork products to be available. So once they want to tell others what they can't do because of their own religious beliefs, such as they are, they can go f themselves. Sharia has come to America. Freeloading too.

“there is a literacy issue here,”

Does that mean that these folks don’t read English?

Or maybe they don’t speak English?

Who let these people into our country?

Pretty soon they'll demand we just pay them directly, like a tax.

Growing up - when I didn’t want what my mom cooked for supper - I was confronted with the phrase “beggars can’t be choosers” - as in - I wasn’t paying for or cooking it - I had no voice - I would eat what was provided or not eat.

I’m all for religious freedom - but don’t force me or other taxpayers to pay for your choice.
