| Minnesota Somalis see Trump as symbol of more hostile America | ||
| 2016-08-21 | ||
For many Somali-Americans in Minnesota, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s fundraising visit to the state on Friday is the culmination of a tough week, a reminder of recent hostilities against people like them. They believe Trump’s rhetoric on Muslims and immigrants is emboldening hate, and they worry the hostility will stay no matter what happens in the election.
Trump has called for a ban on Muslims entering the country as a way to protect the country from terrorists. He’s also painted a dark picture of the Somali community in Minnesota, saying the state has become a “rich pool of potential recruiting targets for Islamic terror groups.” | ||

Keith Ellison - nuff said. #2 - ahhh Douglas Hooper - ALWAYS call him by his true name. This is one guy I would love to conduct a dialogue with - pretty sure I could induce the full Trigglypuff |

| #10 I'm hoping Trump is more than a symbol. Many of the Muslims in the Minnesota area have not assimilated and are hostile to our culture. They have dragged their culture over here and expected us to adopt it. Minnesota has also been a fertile recruiting ground for ISIS. |

| #7 Contrast and Compare Minnesota Somalis and Lewiston Maine Somalis. The difference has been and is amazing. Parents that keep their kids on a short leash attitude wise. Their local Imam turned the other cheek when one of the local drunks rolled a pig's head into the local makeshift Mosque, going so far as to invite CAIR to leave when they came in to cause trouble. Leadership makes a difference. |

| #6 Somali clan groups in California around San Diego and Hayward are multigenerational kleptocracy tribal structures focus on fraud and theft. They drive a lot of cabs for recon and target development and pool money to elders for property and funding back to Home. Huge mistake to let them take over apartment complexes in SD which has created home turf and status. |

| #5 This is the community that gave us the delightful euphemism "Minnesota Men" and produces about a quarter of America's jihadi exports. One thing I've always wondered: is there a daily air shipment of qhat into MSP? |

| #2 Regarding the publisher, little is known of who pulls the strings at the Shabelle news operation, whether in Somalia or the USA. As for the CAIR activity noted, it was founded in 1994 by a Palestinian, Nihad Awad, and an American Muslim, Cary Ibrahim Hooper, along with one Omar Ahmad. It serves as a Hamas ally and has employed blanket charges that American Muslims are the victims of wholesale repression and that U.S. foreign policy is dictated by extreme Zionists. Following 9/11, as self -appointed Muslim spokesmen they typically refused to blame Osama bin Laden for the horrific attacks on America, following the Wahhabi line that no compelling proof had been offered by U.S. authorities. It has been claimed by many that CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood operation, something that the US DOJ has never denied. |
