Somalia's government has banned celebrations of Christmas and New Year in the Muslim majority country, saying the festivities might attract Islamist attacks.

"All events related to Christmas and New Year celebrations are contrary to Islamic culture, which could damage the faith of the Muslim community," the director general of the religious affairs ministry told reporters on Tuesday.

Because muslime “culture” (a contradiction in terms if ever I heard one) is so fragile that exposure to anything else could cause it to crumble.

The local downtown in our small county seat is where Somalis live, shop, worship, loiter, etc. It’s almost like driving through Mogodishu. Except when there is any community event/celebration. They completely disappear and you will not see a single one at the summer or Christmas parades or at the fall community celebration. Not one Somali is ever present, even just walking through when every other day of the year they are a constant presence.

They will never, ever embrace “diversity” or even tolerate anything that isn’t in line with Islamic culture. It’s ridiculous.

Well that’s it then. In an friendly effort to avoid offending all Somalis... We must not allow them into the USA where our Merry Christmas and Holiday traditions will offend them.

Obama has been importing Somais here for a long time. If you REALLY want to get pissed off, look WHERE they were dumped, and the huge increase in crime there.

Proving once again that muzzies will go off at the least little thing. A bit of female skin showing calls for a stoning. A group of people no matter their religion calls for a bombing. An office holiday party, again no matter the religions gathered, calls for a massacre. A gang rape calls for the victim to be honor killed. A kid showing up at a protest calls for a beheading. Bottom line, they’re insane.

Somalis have to be the most useless people on the face of the earth. I’ve witnessed this first-hand.
