At one time I was proud to say I lived in the great state of Minnesota. Now, however, I'm having to apologize for more than our wind chills of 40 degrees below zero three months a year. National commentators and talk show hosts are asking, "What is happening to Minnesota?"
Fox News' commentator John Gibson asked if we are the first Somali-Muslim state. Talk show host Glen Beck did a half hour last night on his program asking about the Islamic connections in Minnesota. Some are suggesting we call our state the "Islamic Republic of Minnesota." Are we the second Dearborn, MI, and will this Islamic tolerance come to a neighborhood near you?
Author and commentator Paul Sperry was on air with me in the last year discussing his book, "Infiltration: How Muslims and other Subversives Are Penetrating Washington." He warned of the blatant effort to tilt American culture toward Sharia Law. Here are some examples of what's happening in my hometown known as the Twin Cities:
* Minnesota elected the first Muslim to Congress--Keith Ellison, who took his oath of office on the Koran. There was little outrage, though some protested in futility.
* Last November six Imams boarded US Airways Flight 300 at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. Witnesses say that they prayed loudly invoking Allah, switched from their assigned seats to a September 11 attack pattern, spoke in Arabic and English, criticized the war in Iraq and our President, talked about al Qaeda and bin Laden, and asked for seat-belt extenders. They were arrested, then released.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has filed a suit against US Airways for racial discrimination and religious intolerance. The Imams are going to sue the PASSENGERS for acting nervous. These are not just childish religious zealots who can be dismissed.
Think of what this could do to national security! People will be afraid to come forth and express suspicious behavior or they might get sued! When they spot danger, they will be forced to keep quiet or face a law suit.
Muslim attorneys are offering to "defend" these evil but innocent passengers. Time will tell if this is legit.
* Muslims working for Target in Minnesota are refusing to handle pork products. If you want a Muslim to ring up your hot dogs, better go to another line. Target caved and rather than firing them, put them in positions where they would not be "offended."
* Muslim cab drivers in Minnesota said they would take NO passengers who had alcohol with them or dogs--not even seeing-eye dogs. Guess dogs are the lowest on the totem poll. The Airport Commission in the Twin Cities has been clamping down on this.
The bottom line to these stories and others not listed is that Muslims and particularly Muslims from Somalia in Minnesota are not assimilating like legal immigrants do. They are bringing their Muslim culture with them, and they demand Sharia Law or special privileges in many places in America.
Will Minnesotans for the sake of setting the trend for the other states say, "We're going to be open-minded liberals and you can have a different kind of status here?" Will this set the trend as with Dearborn, MI?
The proper response should be, if you want Sharia Law and special privileges, go back to the country of your origin and don't try to change America. Diversity, multiculturalism, and political correctness will harm America in the long run, even though they are the mantra of the Left.
Chip, chip, chip...
BTTT
It gives me the shivers to see how our politicians do not realize the slow encroachment of Islam on our society. But then again, they may very well understand it but don't care because they are willing to give their country away for a Muslim vote.
Stories like these show that the real danger in the west is not the enemy per se, but Political Correctness. PC is disarming us, and not even allowing us to fight back. The muzzies are merely exploiting that fact.
That's enough. Anything beyond that is just additional reasoning for not living there!
Until global warming makes that place habitable, fuggedaboutit!
Not to mention that Minnesota elected the first muslim Congressman in November too.....
However, I belive that punk kids that want to deface SUV dealerships, burn flags, and throw paint on fur should have to assimilate as well.
Until we admit that multi-culturalism is anti-American, and anti-Americanism is wrong, then we will grow the mold of an insulated Minneapolis Muslim Misogyny! (Get it? 3M! Weeehee!)
They like us get the America they deserve.
Well ... what are you going to do about it? You are on the Front. Let's see some of that Viking Fury.
I live in Minneaoplis area too...it's really not as bad as it's made out to be...the only reason Ellison won is because he ran in a district that is wayyyy DFL...if it had been a senate spot or in another district that wasn't so obviously DFL it never would have happened...
It seems bad in Minnie from here (Los Angeles). First, the airport/ taxi drivers' thing -- and the airport board seems clueless about how to handle that. Then Ellison, and him taking the Koran with him .YEGAD. That just turns my stomach. I think we have to fight this Islamic Fascism on every small front -- Giulianis' broken windows theory and all that.
I understand...and conversely, from here LA sounds like it's slipping into becoming a large Tijuana to some degree...it's all relative to proximity...frankly, THAT concerns me more than Islamic nutjobs...the fact that there are horrible felons that we know come here from down under and we do nothing to stop it...wow. Seriously if those same guys wore turbins the country would be all over the DOHS, but because it's Mexico and the people "need jobs" it's all smoked over...crazy.
Definitely elements of TJ here...
