American yogurt billionaire: 'Hire more Muslim refugees'
WND ^ | 19 Jan 2015 | Leo Hohmann

Ever wonder why the federal government would be sending hundreds of foreign refugees to a relatively small town in Idaho? Wonder no more.

They're sent there, many of them, to work in the world's largest yogurt factory.

As WND previously reported, Twin Falls is in line to receive about 300 refugees this year, many of them Muslims from Syria. And the state of Idaho, despite its reputation as a mostly white, conservative farm state, has been a popular destination for refugees in recent years.

Boise Mayor David Bieter has gone on record as a huge supporter of President Obama's welcoming initiative for immigrants and refugees, writing in a blog post that, for his city, "diversity isn't a buzzword. It's our birthright."

The U.S. State Department has shipped more than 11,000 refugees directly from the Third World to Idaho since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Just in the past year, 989 refugees have arrived in the rural state, most of them landing in either Boise or Twin Falls. Nearly half have come from some of the world’s nastiest jihadist hot zones, including 95 from Iraq, 94 from Somalia, 47 from Sudan, 39 from Afghanistan, 31 from Iran, 28 from Syria and 11 from Pakistan, according to the federal refugee database.

"But despite growing protests by local residents against the refugee arrivals, the Twin Falls area can count on being a prime spot for refugees for years to come, thanks to one man's rising business enterprise.

That man is Hamdi Ulukaya, a Kurdish Muslim and immigrant from Turkey who created the billion-dollar U.S.-based Chobani yogurt empire.

Five companies have already taken him up on the idea. Ikea, MasterCard, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Western Union and UPS have all agreed to hire more refugees or provide free services to them."

Do NOT buy CHOBANI Yogurt anymore!

This guy isn’t “American”. He’s Muslim. He’s Turkish.

He’s a Democrat. Of course he wants to flood Idaho with immigrants. He wants to be Governor someday, doesn’t he?

Chobani, off the list.

They might poison it to strike at us Infidels.

Chobani is a sorry excuse for Greek yogurt. I like Fage. It’s great for recipes.

If this guy says he’s a Kurd, why does he want to import tons of people who want to kill Kurds?

He’s not a Kurd.

Eat less yogurt and send them back to their hellholes taking this jerk with them.

Hiring more ‘refugees’ means higher in-company disappearances of product - the companies owe them, you know.

I was going to move back to Idaho after retirement. I’m thinking that’s probably a bad idea now.
