Hodges' 1st 100 days: Building relationships, slowly and steadily ( Somali Muslims in MN )
Star Tribune ^ | April 7, 2014 | MAYA RAO

Posted on 04/09/2014 12:59:36 PM PDT by george76

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges .. hours after she lost the Southwest light-rail vote, she visited a Somali mall on E. 24th Street in a blue hijab, accompanied by her Somali liaison, Abdirahman Muse. Hodges’ office said she is fulfilling many of the promises she put forth in a 100-day plan for the Somali community, including asking the city attorney for a review of small business regulations.

In an upstairs room, Somali shopkeepers praised her for showing up, and poured out their concerns through translators, telling her they needed more space to park, more opportunities for idle youth, and more Somali police officers.

Oh, I see. If Islamic fundamentalist Somalis complain about a business regulation harming their hopes of their business succeeding, that’s a problem which should be immediately looked into. But if an American has a problem, screw them.

The government is actively working to make the USA friendly for bearded savages, and hostile to the people who worked hard to build up the country to the point where it was before the liberals started tearing it down.

“Somali shopkeepers praised her for showing up, and poured out their concerns through translators, telling her they needed more space to park, more opportunities for idle youth, and more Somali police officers.”

Great, more dead wood third world immigrants who want to make demands as soon as they are imported. Did the taxpayers of Minneapolis have to pay for the translators?

This is a great example of how our country is going to Hell in a handbasket. Couple it with the report that Hispanics are now the largest ethnic group in California (which, as a result, is now solidly Commie) and you can see how far and how fast we have fallen.

If anyone passes by the grave of Teddy Kennedy, please spit on it for me.

Very puzzling, I read the entire article. It would seem the reporter neglected to write about the Somali shopkeepers asking what they could contribute to society. /s

There's only one ethnicity of shopkeeper who is expected to contribute to society. And it ain't Somali.

More somali policemen? Refugees demand these things? How could that go wrong? What are we doing giving sanctuary to these 6th century savages anyway? And they want our culture to bend to their culture?

Bringing any muslim here is like smoking 3 packs a day and then wondering how you got cancer.

For some reason, Minneapolis is determined to be the refuge for every scrawny savage Somalia throws away. The skidmark that played the pirate in “Captain Phillips” was from Minneapolis.

He wasn’t acting.

Somalia has a semi-arid climate comparable to California located astride one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world with 2000 miles of coastline and a population density less than Colorado.

There is no reason we need to import them.

They’ve taken over the airport in Minneapolis.
You can’t buy a newspaper or stick of gum from anyone but these people.

Once patriots and whites are eliminated, I suppose the final battle for what was American soil will be between the two remaining power centers, fags and muzzies.

Somalia also has no effective government, a society run by thieves and warlords, and epidemic levels of crime, poverty, and drug addiction.

THAT is what we’re importing.

Oh, and muslims. Lots and lotsa muslims ...

Yep. You may recall that the first imports back in the early 1990s were mainly from the Christian and Animist south of Somalia, IOW the actual victims of Muslims.

We all saw sympathetic news stores about how these young people wanted to work, assimilate into American society and walked a mile or more one way for a minimum wage job.

Once this beachhead was established (and in Minnesota's case, encouraged, by the ELCA, my former denomination), the government played bait and switch and almost all future imports were of the Muslim variety.

It would have been far less disruptive both for their country and ours to support a separatist movement in the south with a functioning government where Muslims were the minority.
