Somali Muslim controversy roils Emporia, Kansas
American Congress for Truth ^ | November 20th, 2007 | Jerry Gordon

Posted on 11/30/2007 2:15:51 PM PST by chicagolady

Emporia, Kansas has a Somali Muslim ‘problem’ that we have written about. The community’s Somali Muslim population, presently at somewhere between 750 to 1,000 could increase by upwards of 50 percent under a new federally funded ‘intake’ program to expand the local Tyson Foods meat packing plant in Emporia, a community of less than 30,000. Tyson-the worlds largest processor of beef, pork and poultry headquartered in Arkansas is listed on the NYSE has a current market capitalization of over $4.5 billion.

Tyson got in trouble with both a Federal law suit and employee class action now being heard in an Eastern Tennessee Federal District court when it hired illegal Hispanic immigrants and depressed the wages of its own American work force.

In October 2006, a federal judge granted class-action status to a lawsuit brought by Tyson employees who allege that Tyson’s practice of hiring illegal immigrants depresses wages 10-30%. The suit further contends that the company violated federal racketeering laws by conspiring with National Council of La Raza and League of United Latin American Countries not to question the employment applications of anyone with a Hispanic surname.

So, Tyson opted to do something legal. It brought in approximately 400 ‘legal’ Somali Muslim ‘humanitarian refugees’ to top up its 2000 employee work force in Emporia. It went further and allotted prayer room space and even outfitted bathrooms with wudus, foot washing baths, so that these tough foot soldiers of Islam could prayer to mecca, five times a day. It also brought in ’sensitivity training’ specialists into the community from groups like federally funded Spring Institute of Denver, Colorado engaged in inter-cultural and immigrant absorption consulting on behalf of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services (KDSRS)

Of all the people they could have got...why Somalis? Some of the stories I have heard... They know no english...except "ACLU! WELFARE!!!" They do not use toilet paper, and have been known to have "locked" themselves in a welfare office conference room for four hours because they do not know how to use a doorknob!

BOYCOTT TYSON CHICKEN!!!

“It is the very same symbolism that was assigned to the Jews under the Nazis.”

I don’t care. A howling mob of Jews hadn’t dragged the bodies of anyone through the streets of anywhere. The Somalis did just that to Americans, one of them the son of a longtime client.

I live with these creatures; I’m forced to pick up the bill for them. I live with what they are doing to my town. I know what I am talking about.

Somali Muslims
OR
Illegals from South of The Border

Well, if someone puts a gun to my head...that’s a no brainer.

Bring on the illegals. And tell them to bring some extra tequila!

I’m sure i’ll get flamed.

I said from the beginning (after three weeks at the WTC site from the day it happened), Ferdinand and Isabella had the right idea...

Muslims know Islam is incompatible with the US and vice versa.

Time to deport. Strip the US side of dual citizenships and watch the hell out of those here 30 years or more.
There is no moderate. Islam compasses church and state... all of life, period.

Let them explore their faith more deeply, where it is practiced ‘correctly’. Why would an upright muslim want to be in the sinful hell of America anyway... except to suck up resources, build to change laws and society, make money for zakat that buys Lord knows what on terror fronts.

The dems and their radical judges are affording rights to terror countries (thanks state dept. express visas), as well as illegals... that’s what the lunkheads on the hill don’t get, you let one in, you let the other in. Build the fence so we can concentrate on terror and not MS13, and sucking all our money through taxes for extra housing, medical, law enforcement, prisons, in state tuition, reemerging and new diseases, etc.

This is nothing, compared to the great plan. People need to wake up... before it’s house to house and street to street.

Plus, freedom of religion or not... Not one mosque would be built unless a synagogue and Christian church were built in their homelands, no Wahabist madrassa teachings unless the Torah and Bible were given out in their countries.

Meanwhile here... take the crosses and nativity down, don’t say God, etc.

No ones REALLY talking about the Brit teacher in the Sudan.
My muslim acquaintance (Somali), was outraged as he told me the power of the name (as I reminded him it was his name as well and why did he watch Monster’s Ball over one hundred times and brag about it, and why did he hesitate to correct his bad *ss son with the same name... did that bring honor to it?). Then he launched into how he had to go back home, a muslim can’t be here... I said what’s holding ya? I sure as hell wouldn’t be in Somalia... not even to help, I saw what you get for that. Then he flipped the subject to a friend of mine who had just left the store, “Your women should be more like our women”, I said, “What’s wrong with her?”, she hasn’t dated for years, raises her daughter alone, gives her everything and is putting her through college... as well as her daughter working as well... you don’t see men coming to her house”. “Oh, that wouldn’t happen in Islam”. “Oh?, so when you tell a woman you divorce her, what happens, who takes care of her when you move on to the others or the next one, her family? Yep, real manly, real marriage”... crickets. Bottom line, even though the students chose the name for the bear, the rest aren’t ready for a cuddly Mohammed... too much like Jesus I guess.

Last week I was by the al Rarooq mosque, home of many radical sheiks and speakers, past WTC and other terror plotters, advisors to the Gabran school in Brooklyn... Why is the mosque still there? They know for a fact who they’ve physically pulled out of there, evidence from there and the outcome... years ago. Same in Tucson, OKC, Florida, Detroit and other cities.

Okay, i’ll take my fatwa now... wouldn’t be the first and can’t be the last.

Nobody did, but this idea that somehow the Mexicans are the source of this trouble when the government is now IMPORTING Muslims to replace them is stupid; I’ll take the Mexicans first any day of the week. We are presiding over our own funeral here...

My old home town of 2,000 did something similar more than a decade ago, local churches brought in a bunch.

Their experience reflects Kolokotronis’s. What used to be a sleepy, friendly, little town is in danger of turning into a dangerous sewer.

White students, although clearly the majority, are forced to walk on eggshells to avoid being called racists, getting beat up, and and far worst.

Landlords houses are being trashed, theft is rampant, no one even dreams of leaving their houses unlocked anymore.

Celibrate Diversity.............Diversity destroys.

NO, the conservatives don’t get it, either. They are pissed because some wetback is mowing the guys lawn next door and the Constitution says we have to make babies born here citizens. Sorry, just the truth.

Meanwhile, we are in WWIII with the Muslim world RIGHT NOW. People cry about Mike Huckabee, but you can be damn certain he knows what the Muslim threat is all about. The liberals won’t get it until we are fighting the streets, and I fear the conservative’s dream about the good old days will keep them from seeing what the real problem is. I agree - bring more tequila, not footbaths...

I’ll take an order of fatwa now, too, please....

I’ve not heard many people complain about Mexicans. I have heard complaints about Illegal Aliens though. I know there is a lot of overlap especially in the southwestern parts of the US, but the two terms are not equivalent. There are a lot of Illegal Aliens who are not Mexican and a lot of Mexicans who are here legally.

>> semi-human vermin at best.... While I don’t agree with Tyson’s actions and those of alot of Muslims, I find this kind of rhetoric equally dangerous. It is the very same symbolism that was assigned to the Jews under the Nazis. <<

The Jews were not calling for world domination.

The Jews were not beheading innocent people.

The Jews were not teaching their children to kill infidels.

The Jews were not blowing up innocent folks out shopping or dinning.

The Jews were not flying passenger jets into buildings.

The Jews were not calling for the killing of infidels (non-believers).

Look at the ACTIONS of the muslims. Study the koran. Think again.

While ‘semi-human vermin’ label does not fit Jews, it very accurately describes muslims.

These Muslims from Africa Could be the same kind of Muslims that are calling for the execution of the Briton Teacher in the news today..

I doubt it. If they were down with the goings-on in Somalia, they wouldn't have fled from there.

You forgot one... Jews can support themselves and their children.

Big mistake to bring in Somalies. They are known as the Entitled of Africa and most Africans cannot stand them. They are difficult love welfave and can snake a system faster than most other immigrants. Look at Lewiston Maine.

This is a meat packing plant that packs pork. Why on earth are they bringing in muslims? This wont work and there would be muslim lawsuits.
