Minnesota mosques, Muslim orgs raise concerns with anti-terror recruitment pilot

Nearly 50 mosques, Muslim organizations and student groups have signed a statement that highlights concerns with a federal pilot program to combat radicalization and terror recruitment in Minnesota.

“While we support the right of all Americans to live in democratic communities free of violence, we cannot in good conscience condone or help refine programs that are fundamentally discriminatory and are likely to further subject our community members to additional civil rights abuses,” said the statement released by the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The statement lists 44 Muslim organizations as undersigned supporters, as well as the National Lawyers Guild.

“It is our recommendation that the government stop investing in programs that will only stigmatize, divide and marginalize our communities further,” the statement said.

My head almost exploded while reading this. Read the whole thing. It gets a lot worse.

Not only do the Somalis not want us investigating them and their ties to terror, they want OUR money to create their own programs/solutions. And they want the Federal government investigated for looking into them.

Obviously, they know better than we do about stemming the tide of terror in America.

The camel is all the way into the tent, and it's taking a dump.

And, please make a donation to FR tonight. Thanks.

Obama’s dragons’ eggs are hatching all over America. There will be more and more trouble for at least the next two years, if not a lot longer.

the UK surrendered to this kind of pressure and allowed thousands of teen girls to be sexually abused by muslims because to crack down on the muslims would upset them and that can’t happen!

I had a similar response lined up after reading this article.

Not one that Jim would allow on his website, though.

Yes it does get worse... poverty does —not— equate to radicalism; many of the jihadis were from well off families...

From the article:

“... Community Resiliency Program

This Justice Department pilot program is designed to combat the recruiting of young men and women for terror by getting at root causes, like unemployment and a lack of opportunity. Other programs were started in Los Angeles and Boston, but Minnesota is the program everyone is watching. That’s because as many as 40 people have left Minnesota since 2007 to fight for al-Shabaab in Somalia and ISIS in Syria. ....”

They were welcomed into this state. They were provided housing, food, money, job opportunities.

That’s not what they really wanted.

They want it all. And those in power here just can’t see that.

It’s going get us all killed.

Muslims in NYC.

The problem in MN is the Somalis and the kids that are bored and just want to kill someone.

Maybe that was the plan (by those in power) all along.

Liberal policies will be the cause of our collapse.

As much of that taxpayer money will go to fighting terror plots as Clinton Foundation money went to actual charitable causes.

I suggest that these CAIR (unindicted co-conspirator in the Holyland Foundation case re terrorism assistance) groups take their mosques and organizations and move back to Somalia if they don’t like it here.

If they are with CAIR, then they are a potential threat to the security of the US.
