Chaos In The Streets As Jihadists Attack Police
Put on your “surprise face,” there’s been another “incident” involving angry Muslims in an American city! Shocking, I know. Here’s the scoop:
Rapper and singer K’naan faced a hostile reception from dozens of Somali-American protesters on Saturday at a block party in Minneapolis. …The source of their hurt is K’naan’s latest project, an HBO series that several media reports have described as a drama about jihadi recruitment set in Minnesota….Filsan Ibrahim, 27, one of the organizers of the protest…, donned a purple scarf and grabbed a bullhorn to describe to the crowd what she anticipated from the cable TV show. “It’s going to be talking about how the Somali kids in Cedar are terrorists!” she cried. …
Mohamed said he observed some individuals in the crowd throw items at police, including a football and what looked to be a glass bottle. Officers sprayed a chemical irritant, sending people to flush their eyes with containers of milk.
Minneapolis police Sgt. Catherine Michal said some also hurled rocks and a chair at officers. A Metro Transit police officer was hit in the head with an unknown object and was treated and released at a nearby hospital before finishing his shift….
By the end of the day, Minneapolis police arrested a 17-year-old boy and a 27-year-old woman on suspicion of riot. …
“K’naan told me he wanted to show the more humane side of Somalis,” Mohamed said. “He said these narratives are already out there — people are already trying to push a blanket image of Somalis, a one-dimensional image.”
The artist assured Mohamed he wanted to depict the community “as they are — as mothers, fathers, as students.”
On the other hand, Mohamed said, Somali-Americans are simply exhausted of seeing themselves on screen.
It’s hard to make stories like this up.
A Somali rap artist wants to produce an HBO series that humanizes the media portrayal of Somalis in America… but then his fellow Somalis in America wildly protest him because he dares to include… wait for it… the reality of terror recruitment in Somali-American communities.
The problem is not that Somali-Americans are tired of being portrayed onscreen, but that they are tired of having unpleasant truths about Somali history and culture portrayed onscreen. Meanwhile, let’s imagine that Hollywood and TV producers respected Somali wish not to be portrayed onscreen. You know as well as I do what would happen within a few months: Somali-Americans would be protesting a “media bias against Somalis” in entertainment.
Now, the typical liberal response to “Muslim unrest” like this is something like, “Golly, that’s unfortunate, but, you know, violence happens all the time around the world, so we shouldn’t jump to any conclusions.” This response is based on the “NAXALT” fallacy, which says that “Not All X Are Like That.” It is the liberal and cuckservative reflex to dismiss systematic patterns of evidence based on anecdotal evidence that doesn’t fit the pattern.
If I warn my son that bullets are dangerous, I’m right: there is a systematic pattern of explosive danger in the very nature of bullets (X). Now, suppose my neighbor tells my son that “not all bullets are dangerous; after all, some are duds”? In other words, my meddling neighbor is trying to disprove my warning by saying that “Not All X (bullets) Are Like That (dangerous).” Should my son listen to me or my neighbor? Well, authority and respect aside, of course my son should listen to me about bullets!
This violent episode did not “pop off” at random. This episode emerged quite logically, even predictably, from years of globalist politics, from Democrats and Republicans, and the stupid-making fog of political correctness that ruins everything it touches. So, if our NAXALT critic doesn’t want to “jump to any conclusions,” let’s jump to 2008 instead.
[In late 2008] a Twin Cities man blew himself up in a suicide bombing in Northern Somalia last month.
The FBI and Homeland Security are investigating whether Shirwa Ahmed had developed a terrorist recruiting network in the [Twin Cities] area.… Ahmed came to the Twin Cities in 1996 and graduated from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. He was a naturalized U.S. citizen.More than a dozen young men of Somali descent, mostly in their 20s, from the Minneapolis area have recently disappeared…. All are thought to be associates of Ahmed. U.S. officials suspect most of the young men have departed for Somalia to fight in ongoing violence there or to train in terrorist camps.
Is it any surprise that Marco “Gang of 8” Rubio won the Minnesota primary last year? The entrenched Muslim forces in that city, rooted in Obama’s insane (but not aimless) policy of shelter cities, knew which Republican would give them the most support: Little Marco. His neocon passion for open borders and cheap, foreign labor is music to the ears of anti-Western, anti-American Somalis like the ones organizing domestic terrorism behind the shield of “cultural diversity.”

True diversity means diverse groups of people adapt to the common American way of life.
The chickens of open borders are coming home to roost in every knife attack, bomb threat, and “lone wolf” shooting that some angry Muslim takes credit for. The bitter seed of globalism, watered and tended so carefully by both Democrats and Republicans for half a century now, is producing bitter fruit before our very eyes.
Jumping ahead two years–wouldn’t want to jump to any conclusions though!–we find a similar pattern of thorny, bitter fruit from careless immigration policies and the idolatry of “multiculturalism.”
Two hundred and ninety-six refugees were diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) between 2010 and 2014 in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. …The number of active TB cases reported among refugees arriving in Minnesota is ten times higher than reported in any of the fourteen other states that have released refugee TB data to the public….The previous high among the other reporting states was Wisconsin, which reported 27 cases of active TB among refugees arriving in the state between 2014 and 2015.
The problem is that, as a rule, Somali culture has different hygienic and living customs from American culture, in general. Are there “NAXALT” exceptions in both cultures? Of course, but tell that to Minneapolis city planners who have to deal with the statistical reality of an unprecedented spike in TB.
One last “shock” before we finish:
Most of the 296 refugees were diagnosed with active TB during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, from January 2009 to February 2013.
Put your “surprise face” back on: this happened under Hillary’ Clinton’s guidance!
It may be true that “you reap what you sow,” but the problem in America is that our political leaders are doing the sowing while We The People are doing the reaping–a harvest of urban conflicts and economic decline.
TERROR IN THE HEARTLAND
Kansas Christians Denounce Terror Plot Against Somalis’ Mosque: ‘You Have a Right to Your Religion’
Residents in Liberal, Kansas, are disturbed by the homegrown plot against a local Somali mosque—but they stop short of blaming Trump’s Islamophobic rhetoric for the thwarted attack.
CREEDE NEWTON
10.17.16 1:02 AM ET
LIBERAL, Kansas—Until Friday, Liberal, a small Kansas town with a population slightly over 20,000, wasn’t often featured in national news.
Then, three men who called themselves The Crusaders—Curtis Allen and Gavin Wright, both 49, of Liberal, and Patrick Eugene Stein, 47, of nearby Wright, Kansas—were arrested for a terrorist plot to detonate bombs outside an apartment complex that also serves as the mosque for the Somali community of Garden City, Kansas, a town about 70 miles north.
Now, Liberal’s residents are trying to make sense of it all, sitting in the shadow of terror plans and the Trump campaign that has aimed exclusionary rhetoric squarely at the U.S. Muslim community.
“It’s strange to have it so close to home,” Brittany Baker, who asked that her name be changed for privacy, told The Daily Beast at her nondenominational church after Sunday service. “We, the Christian community, certainly don’t condone this.”
Liberal is conservative. Driving its brick-paved streets, one gets the feeling that it was named ironically. There’s an evangelical church every other block, dozens of “Back the Badge” signs on lawns in support of the Blue Lives and All Lives Matter counters to the Black Lives Matter movement, and ubiquitous Trump/Pence posters hanging on homes and businesses throughout.
The majority of the town goes to church Sunday morning. They head straight to one of the many restaurants afterward to eat in fellowship with the Christians who don’t go to their church.
Pastor John Kerrigan (name also changed) of a local branch of a nationwide church, shared Baker’s surprise. He told The Daily Beast in an interview that as Christians, it’s their responsibility “to help those in need. The people from the Somali community come over and we help them with government documents. Obviously those men don’t believe in the same God as we do,” he said, referring to the arrested plotters.
The Somalis are largely refugees who have travelled to southwest Kansas over the past 20 years for jobs at local meat-packing plants.
In downtown Liberal, an International African Food grocery store serves as the headquarters of their community. The Daily Beast visited the market for an interview, but a female community leader at the store said they were “too scared” to talk.
Kerrigan considers himself a member of the evangelical right, a voting bloc within the U.S. that has uniformly supported Republicans since Ronald Reagan. They believe that the nation’s founding document is sacrosanct.
When asked if he felt there was a correlation between the Trump campaign’s rhetoric, which many have called Islamophobic, and the plot, the pastor responded: “I’m a big Second Amendment guy. The Constitution guarantees that I have the right to protect home and family and there are people who mean to do us harm. Many of them are Muslims, so I can see where the confusion could come in.”
Kerrigan stressed that he doesn’t support plots to blow up innocent people. But he also said that change, particularly that which, in his view, is coming from “a Muslim agenda that is incompatible with the Constitution” causes friction in the country.
The pastor seemed conflicted, as do many Republicans. He doesn’t like Islam, but he doesn’t want to bomb or ban Muslims. As an evangelical Christian, he feels it’s his duty to convert them.
“We’re witnessing a historic change. The Constitution was written by Christians. A lot of people don’t like to admit it that, but it’s true. It’s not compatible with a fully Sharia way of life,” he said.
While the Trump campaign stutters forward with controversy after controversy, the evangelical branch of the Grand Old Party doesn’t seem sure of where to go or what will happen next.
“This is a town where you can find old traditions. People like to know their neighbors,” Kerrigan continued. “There’s a feeling of loss of tradition in these small communities, and a distrust of politicians in Washington who have been elected by the people and haven’t delivered on their promises. That’s what Trump is tapping into with the common small-town resident, not racism,” the pastor concluded.
Liberal is a nexus in one of the most conservative parts of the nation. Its location in the bottom of southwest Kansas means that if someone drives roughly 40 miles south on Highway 83, they will have passed through Kansas and Oklahoma to arrive in the Texas Panhandle.
For years, Liberal was the town with a Wal-Mart for dozens of communities in a wide radius across the three states. Members of conservative communities in the area would travel here to buy products like videogames and sporting goods not available where they lived.
At a local Long John Silver’s, a fast-seafood restaurant that is far too far from any body of water to inspire confidence in their offerings, Jerry Keenan, 62, and Susie Zuniga, 37, sat and prayed before digging into to their breaded fish and hush puppies.
“It’s hard to believe it happened here. But it could happen anywhere. No place is exempt at this point,” Keenan told The Daily Beast. “No town is too small.”
Zuniga, Keenan’s wife, agreed. She explained that the couple is from Hooker, Oklahoma, another strangely named town in the area, and is about 20 miles southwest of Liberal.
Hooker has a population of 1,918, which means there aren’t many shopping options. Keenan, a recent retiree who worked for years as a welder, and Zuniga, an insurance agent, were in town to peruse Wal-Mart and have lunch out.
The couple, who consider themselves conservative Christians, agreed with Rev. Kerrigan, to a point. They say that the root of the problem is change. “I think it’s migration,” Keenan continued. “There are a lot of people with a lot of different ways of living. It’s a good thing and a bad thing. It’s difficult.”
Zuniga chimed in that the conditions responsible for the plot were the responsibility of the U.S., too. “Part of the reason for the change is the fact that education is going down the drain. Kids are growing up without being challenged. It’s creating a lot of ignorance and entitlement. People think things have to be done as they want it,” she said.
“I’m as American as they come. I get a tear in my eye when I see the Stars and Stripes waving in a parade,” Keenan continued. “But this is America. You have a right to your religion. Nobody can tell me what God to pray to.”
Freedom of religion is “one of the things that makes this country great,” Zuniga, agreed. “Or at least it’s supposed to.”
