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.

Any government official who had anything at all to do with bringng these muslims to America should be deported to Somalia.

I have it on good authority that all food in the US is tainted with trace amounts of pork. Not enough to detect in a laboratory, but enough to deny one’s passage to heaven. Just sayin’.

In all fairness, much of the Somali diet is absolutely alien to what Americans eat. They have no idea at all what much American food is or is made of. They likely don’t even recognize many of our vegetables and fruits and grains.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_cuisine

Yet there are some things that it’s surprising they do recognize and are happy to eat, like spaghetti. But they cook it into a stew.

And the bottom line is that they would definitely be happy to eat a lot of what we eat, outside of pork and liquor, if they knew what the heck it was.

Another twist on a familiar issue. I know a couple of gals who've worked the food pantry job. Their enthusiasm soured real fast due to the sort of entitled attitudes they had to deal with. The last straw for one of them was when a "client" loudly complained about some canned tomatoes because they "weren't Del Monte, we only eat Del Monte brand".

Bags of sand and gravel are pork-free.

I used to work for Dawn foods in Jackson Michigan. 1 day every month we ran a kosher shop and made kosher cake and bread mixes.

They basically managed the plant for that day. They watched us scrub the place clean and were there all day as the mixes were made according to their rules. (Never added any vials of palestinian blood)

There was a French soup kitchen that wanted to cater only to French or Christians. So all they served had pork, bacon, ham, pork sausage or some such in it.

British Army executes Muslims in India by "Blowing from a Gun" a method of execution in which the victim is typically tied to the mouth of a cannon and the cannon is fired. George Carter Stent describes the process as follows:

The prisoner is generally tied to a gun with the upper part of the small of his back resting against the muzzle. When the gun is fired, his head is seen to go straight up into the air some 40 or fifty feet; the arms fly off right and left, high up in the air, and fall at, perhaps, a hundred yards distance; the legs drop to the ground beneath the muzzle of the gun; and the body is literally blown away altogether, not a vestige being seen.

Probably, the idiot LIB minnisotans will yield to their “demands”. I say screw’em. If they don't like the free food offered...starve. What ingrates! In somalia, they were lucky if they had rocks to eat.

Sad but very common. I volunteered at a food bank and if it wasn’t like a freakin’ grocery store...it was just constant complaining.

I also tried to help out during Katrina with the refugees that came here. After seeing a large number throw what we had to offer away and whine about wanting McDonalds and Coke my head was spinning.

I finally quit working at the front and only package the food that is being offered. And no...these are not people of one ethnicity...they are all different persuasions.

Just curious! Why don’t you like beets? My old country parents loved beets prepared/cooked in different ways. I am a great fan of canned sliced beets.
