Minneapolis: Muslims riot, throw rocks at police in rage over HBO series on jihad recruitment

Oct 20, 2016 10:19 am By Robert Spencer

“On Saturday, Ibrahim 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.”

And so to prove that Somali kids in Cedar are not terrorists, they threw a glass bottle, rocks and a chair at police officers. “A Metro Transit police officer was hit in the head with an unknown object.”

Point made.

“Protests break out in Minneapolis over HBO production,” by Laura Yuen, MPR News, September 12, 2016 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

With yet another Hollywood tale about Somalis in the works, a young generation of activists in Minnesota asks: Why must it be about terrorism? And this time, they’re directing their anger at one of their own.

Rapper and singer K’naan faced a hostile reception from dozens of Somali-American protesters on Saturday at a block party in Minneapolis. He had just begun performing on a stage on Cedar Avenue, the beating pulse of the East African community, when demonstrators essentially shut him down.

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, which also involves director Kathryn Bigelow.

“Him being a Somali, I would expect more of him,” said Filsan Ibrahim, 27, one of the organizers of the protest. “He has such a big platform. He could use his name and celebrity to change that narrative and say, ‘There’s more to us.'”

On Saturday, Ibrahim 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.

Someone next to her held up a sign that read, “Stop exploiting the Somali community.”

K’naan left the stage before making a comment about “ignorant” people….

On Saturday, a number of Minneapolis police were working off-duty to secure the event. Ibrahim, the activist, said some officers began pushing the demonstrators.

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, said the agency’s spokesman Drew Kerr.

By the end of the day, Minneapolis police arrested a 17-year-old boy and a 27-year-old woman on suspicion of riot. As of late Monday, which was the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, the woman was being held at the Hennepin County jail. She could face gross misdemeanor charges on Tuesday….

    I would say to Somali community ” YOU OWN the problem”! It IS your fault that your children have been programmed by YOUR filthy religion to kill and spread terror among us! So either fix it yourselves or WE WILL!

      Agreed! And this is not a Britain or France where everyone is forced to be PC. If they keep up with the idea that non Muslims cannot address the Jihad problem, there will be consequences.

      You said it, brother. It’s time they take responsibility for the problems they bring to our communities, and that includes the gang violence and other domestic crime in addition to the jihad terrorism they commit. I’m tired of hearing how we’re racists or islamophobes for caring about the human atrocities they perpetrate to advance their phony religion. A moratorium on muslim immigration is a peaceful solution to a violent problem. I don’t know why it doesn’t get more support.

      My home state of Minnesota is lost. They’re never going to get rid of these aggressive muslims, they are too entrenched. Islam’s Trojan Horse has been wheeled in and their jihad is in full force. Our own governor said that if we don’t like muslims we can leave, to paraphrase his infamous remark. I got a better idea, maybe he should leave. We could use a new governor that cares about Minnesota and understands the threat islam presents to our peace and security.

      Oct 20, 2016 at 6:16 pm

      Stuart Smally’s “election” stands as an object lesson in election fraud. Too bad Donald’s not talking about that one. But Al has nothing to say because in his secret thoughts he sees this small riot as a vindication of the secret Moslem Lives Matter, that the MLM a hot new issue factory. The Moslems are already a well paid voting bloc for the Dems, so they can do more.

    Almost worse than in Sweden. Would like to address and warn everyone in U.S.A. planning to vote for Hillary Clinton.
    She talks exactly like the majority of politicians in Sweden. That is everything will be at least ten times worse with her as president as well in U.S.A. as in Sweden and all of Europe.

    With yet another Hollywood tale about Somalis in the works

    “Yet another”? Exactly how many Hollywood stories about Somalis are there? And how often are they made?

    a young generation of activists in Minnesota asks

    Last time I checked, Minnesota was not in Somalia. It would stand to reason that if the show is about a place in the US, the people portrayed in it would be Americans.

    You know, if you have a community of people in America who don’t consider themselves to be American, maybe you should consider sending them back to the country they identify with.

    • Keys says

      Oct 20, 2016 at 4:38 pm

      Angemon-
      The only Hollywood “stories” I can remember about Somalis are “Blackhawk Down” and “Captain Phillips”.

      The Somalis did not exactly come across as being our friends or as decent people in those two movies based on actual recent events.

      Who the hell let them in to the USA and under whose orders ?

      And why doesn’t our navy give the so-called Somali pirates one warning, if not heeded, destroy them and their vessel?

      Last time I checked, Minnesota was not in Somalia.

      Speaking from Lake Minnetonka, I can assure you that it’s in Moscow, or Peking. Some commie place like that. This is why they love Moslems so much, it’s good for the gubmint business.

        Oct 21, 2016 at 8:01 am

        Bullshit. China has zero tolerance for Islam; in all recent attacks there have been NO MUSLIM SURVIVORS. The Chinese & Russians have many millions of muslims to control &
        they do it far better than any western country.

        And no, I have no tolerance for communism- which by the way died long ago- except for N Korea, which is virtually dead on its feet. Update your info by 30yrs.

    Okay.

    Several years ago, there was the beginnings of a riot in a Canadian city, around this time of year.

    All the cops did was have firemen spray water well overhead.

    And the soaked crowd in near freezing weather went home pretty darn fast on their own.

    When was the last time you saw a group of Muslims in America, out in the Public Eye, PEACEABLY ASSEMBLING, as described in the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION…rather than causing the USUAL MAYHEM?
    When?
    NOW THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU SEE A GROUP OF MUSLIMS IN EUROPE OR THEIR HOME LAND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, EITHER CAUSING ACTS OF TERROR OR ENGAGED FLAT OUT WAR.

    Maybe they would be happier in Somalia.

  11. Jay Boo says

    Oct 20, 2016 at 1:06 pm

    They are so used to playing the victim and manipulating the news media that their feelings are hurt whenever anyone does not automatically acknowledge their supremacy with show unbridled reverence toward Islam.

    Maybe they realize that if Americas are made aware and wake up about of Islam’s inherent ill will, that another mass of Somali Muslims won’t be able flood in after Syrian Muslim refugees are offered as a door opening excuse.

  12. Ed Lee says

    Oct 20, 2016 at 2:03 pm

    Benghazi was purportedly a response to an anti-Islamic video. That has been proven to be completely false. This incident is the same: HBO had nothing to do with it. It was just a convenient excuse for jihad against kafirs.

    Minneapolis: Muslims riot, throw rocks at police in rage over HBO series on jihad recruitment
    ……………………

    Typical Muslims. Don’t say we’re violent or we’ll riot and possibly kill you.

    Of course, this is not about logic as we would see it–it is just a demand–backed by violence and the threat of violence–that Infidels not be allowed to say anything negative about Islam.

  17. somehistory says

    Oct 20, 2016 at 9:29 pm

    They act and behave like the *god* they worship. The saying, “You are what you eat,” applies in that they *consume* islam. Every other day, it seems like, they are celebrating another *holiday*…only theirs should be called **unholidays* because of the origin of holiday.

    With every celebration, with every riot, with every killing and every terror attack, they show what they are made of and whom they worship. There will be absolutely no doubt, if any remains today, just how evil islam is and how much it deserves to be cast into the lake of fire.

    The Police should post a picture of a victim of filthy muslim stoning with the reminder that ” Rocks are deadly weapons “.
    Then shoot to kill the next knob headed Somali that lobs one.

    Look, you knob heads ! You were not invited here ! You didn’t pay your way here ! You are not welcome here ! You were forced down here by our filthy muslim president with no concern for the local population.
    You are really pawns in his anti American agenda to make the U.S. a muslim country and you are supposed to be refugees. As such, be grateful that you have been introduced to flush toilets and a land where no one but the Clinton campaign bus shits in the street.
    So shut the hell up and either assimilate into our culture, or get the hell out of our country !
