When it comes to the national debate on terrorism all one needs to do is look towards Minnesota which has unwittingly become a microcosm of where America is heading.
"Little Mogadishu" which is another name for Minnesota, and which is now the home to the largest Somali population in the country, also has the distinction of producing more homegrown terrorist then any other state in the union, just recently over 20 Somali/Americans from Minnesota left the U.S. to join ISIS and the recent Muslim extremist knife attack in a Minnesota mall.
It's within this backdrop that this one very brave (and perhaps foolish) restaurant owner is speaking out, as best he can with a sign protesting the carnage in St. Cloud over the weekend.
The sign outside his restaurant in Lansdale, simply but emphatically states; "Muslims Get Out!" While a second signs reads "In Support Of St.Cloud."
No doubt Dan Ruedinger's signs are controversial and have already led to backlash by some in the community, however it's also led to a sizable increase in business, that he had to add three extra workers on Monday.
In a brief interview, Ruedinger explained that he has a First Amendment Right as an American to speak out, and that he will continue displaying his signs on his property.
He continued: "It's time that people started standing up, not worrying about the PC crowd and do what is right. "And I feel what we're doing is right. We are not targeting the Muslims in general, just the extremists. And that's all I can say. It's my right and I'm going to stand up, and I wish more people would do it."
However as mentioned there was obvious backlash to those signs and Payten Estepp was one of those folks: "I get it, it's his right to say what he wants to say, but that's giving Lonsdale a bad rap to everyone that drives by on 19, which is a very busy road, so people are going to see that and they're going to think Lonsdale as a whole, as a community, is as crass as that sign."
What's "crass" is how Minnesota is now perceived by the rest of America, as the first American terrorist state in the U.S. thanks in part to its progressive and destructive Ideology in short like it or not "Little Mogadishu" has become the "canary in the coal mine" for the rest of America.
Do you agree with this restaurant owners position on his sign? If so share this with family and friends on Facebook.
Well said! It’s not a bad idea to revisit the Civil Rights Act. We can see that along with good came an awful lot of bad. But no one has gone there yet! Another idea might be to use the Civil Rights Act by identifying Americans, that is those who are traditional and follow the culture that was handed down to us, as being an endangered and discriminated against group, after all the Civil Rights Act prevents discrimination based on many things and one of them is national origin. It’s a possibility it could be worked up by lawyers and used to prevent the left from constantly mocking, denigrating and demonizing Americans, those of us who love the Constitution and think old George Washington was a great guy. It might prevent and be a way to straighten out the media’s one-sided reporting because they will not be allowed to attack our kind of Americans( the non-communist kind) the same thing would go for Education it could be used as a tool.

I don’t think you’ll get anything more complimentary from anywhere outside of the US.
Story originally happened about 2 months ago; I wonder if he still has the sign up?
Needs to add the “terrorist,”
yes, “terrorists” is a needed qualifier (those individuals who resort to terrorism are certainly not welcome). But as written, the owner’s sign simply comes across as shallow xenophobia.
It’s different. He has not told them he would not serve them. He simply believes they should “get out” and it is his legal right to do this.
for breaking what law?

How did Minnesota come to get all those Somalis?
My understanding is U.N. is vetting/sending. There is no vetting of Syrian refugees:

Refugee Resettlement in the United States
The United States is proud of its history of welcoming immigrants and refugees. The U.S. refugee resettlement program reflects the United States highest values and aspirations to compassion, generosity and leadership. Since 1975, Americans have welcomed over 3 million refugees from all over the world. Refugees have built new lives, homes and communities in towns and cities in all 50 states.
Resettlement: The Solution for Only a Few
A refugee is someone who has fled from his or her home country and cannot return because he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution based on religion, race, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. The first step for most refugees is to register with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in the country to which s/he has fled. UNHCR has the mandate to provide international protection to refugees. UNHCR determines if an individual qualifies as a refugee and, if so, works toward the best possible durable solution for each refugee: safe return to the home country, local integration, or third-country resettlement.
According to UNHCRs latest statistics, there are approximately 21.3 million refugees in the world. The vast majority of these refugees will receive support in the country to which they fled until they can voluntarily and safely return to their home country. A small number of refugees will be allowed to become citizens in the country to which they fled, and an even smaller number primarily those who are at the highest risk will be resettled in a third country. While UNHCR reports that less than 1 percent of all refugees are eventually resettled in third countries, the United States welcomes almost two-thirds of these refugees, more than all other resettlement countries combined.
