Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Minnesota State Senators want to spend $18,000,000 of taxpayer money on “Somali community development”

Feb 11, 2018 2:19 pm By Robert Spencer

Here are two salient sections from SF 1722, as introduced into the Minnesota State Senate. The chief author of this bill is Republican State Senator Jim Abeler; its other authors are Republican State Senators Jerry Relph and Carla J. Nelson, along with Democrat/Farmer-Labor State Senators Steve A. Cwodzinski and Kari Dziedzic.

Even though Abeler is listed as Chief Author of the bill, its likely driver is Nelson, who has a long record of pandering to the Somali community.

This bill is based on the false assumption that poverty causes terrorism, and thus showering money upon communities that produce many jihadis (and Minnesota’s Somali community is certainly in that category) will alleviate the problem. The idea that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism has led the U.S. to shower billions on Muslim countries, hoping to win hearts and minds and alleviate what mainstream analysts doggedly believe are the root causes of terrorism. But it has been known for years that poverty doesn’t really cause terrorism at all. The Economist reported in 2010: “Social scientists have collected a large amount of data on the socioeconomic background of terrorists. According to a 2008 survey of such studies by Alan Krueger of Princeton University, they have found little evidence that the typical terrorist is unusually poor or badly schooled.”

In the same vein, CNS News noted in September 2013: “According to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds.’ One of the authors of the RAND report, Darcy Noricks, also found that according to a number of academic studies, ‘Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.'”

The Times Online reported the following as far back as April 2005: “Three-quarters of the Al-Qaeda members were from upper middle-class homes and many were married with children; 60% were college educated, often in Europe or the United States.”

And here we go again. If this bill is passed, money will be showered on worthless programs that won’t prevent a single Somali Muslim in Minnesota from joining the jihad.

A bill for an act
relating to community development; establishing a Somali community development
pilot grant program; requiring reports; appropriating money; proposing coding for
new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 116J.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
Section 1. [116J.9921] SOMALI COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PILOT GRANT
PROGRAM….

The commissioner shall establish a Somali community
development pilot grant program to award grants to one or more intermediary organizations
to identify and support community initiatives designed to enhance long-term economic
self-sufficiency by improving health, education, housing, and economic outcomes for
Minnesota Somali communities….

Sec. 2. APPROPRIATION.

$9,000,000 in fiscal year 2018 and $9,000,000 in fiscal year 2019 are appropriated from
the general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for the
Somali community development pilot grant program established under Minnesota Statutes,
section 116J.9921. These appropriations are available until June 30, 2022. Starting in fiscal
year 2022, the base funding for this program shall be $0.

    Just burn the money. The result will be the same. If invested in this plan money will just be wasted and the Ssomalis will end up on welfare anyway. If you burn the money, the state of Minnesota will save itself a lot of energy, not having to run around on foolish projects.

    The energy will be needed – to clean up the mess the Somalis will create.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 11, 2018 at 3:05 pm

      This money will be much worse than just wasted–it will wind up being used for Islamic Da’wa and creeps like Keith Ellison. Worst case scenario some of it will wind up going to fund violent Jihad.

      It will also tell Mohammedans that they can expect Americans to pay them Jizya even before they have seized power.

      • Gjallarhornet says

        Feb 11, 2018 at 3:08 pm

        Yes. And the Somalis will bankrupt the state anyway. One should think that when such things happen the well wishers who started the plans would come to their senses and admit some wrongs. You always expect that.

        But no. They just go to another place and carry on there.

        Feb 11, 2018 at 9:52 pm

        Gravenimage, in a way you’re right as it being seen like jizya. What they try is extortion, Example: last year in Paris during Ramadan a mosque had its members spilling out onto the street. The loudspeaker was going all night, not just for the 5 prayers thus waking up a lot of Parisians. The mosque expressed no sympathy for tax-paying, working Parisians but rather said they need a new mosque and want the mayor to help pay for it. When Parisians complained to the Mayor he said nothing. It’s people like the Mayor who create division amongst Muslims and non-Muslim because they were clearly disrespectful and the mayor should have expressed sympathy. So, it’s like, “We’ll be a pain in the a$$ until you fork up money.” Also, numerous mosques have funded overseas groups, infiltration, dawah, etc. CAIR bought weapons and weapons training in Florida, you know, in case the mosque is attacked, so they said. There are many mosques who have stockpiled weapons. There was one in France they caught that had some serious hardware I saw in the photos. Like President Erdogan said, “The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets.”

        Our government under Obama, I know, gave $300,000 to a mosque. We should not be funding mosques or churches. We’re supposed to have a secular government and I should not have to pay for people’s religions of which there are many.

          Feb 12, 2018 at 3:05 am

          For a muslim a mosque surely counts as a kind of government building, since islam is more a political system than a religion in the western sense.

          Yes–and if Muslims gain full ascendancy here it will be Jizya in the fully literal sense.

        The story is older than that. In 1966 there were six murders in the City of Minneapolis proper. 40 years later Mpls was referred to as Murderapolis. This period of change coincided with the mass importation of blacks attracted to the state for its rich welfare benefits.

    I’ve heard politicians say this and one is John Kerry. Some terrorists have had advanced degrees, such as a new joiner who has a geology degree. I mentioned elsewhere that a Saudi medical student killed 22 people. The young guys in the recent attack using a car in Spain were educated. They had been listening to that radical cleric whose name I forget, but he has lots of audios of his speeches-it’s not just watching ISIS videos-it’s Islamic schools, mosques, TV preachers, etc. Saudi Arabia admits this because clerics started their own TV channel there.

    Besides, others have lived in America for years and had jobs. It must annoy all other immigrant groups who built their lives in America without such huge funding and special attention. The communities are a problem rather than what immigrant groups have done-started in city ethnic neighborhoods and moved out to the suburbs, thus I had Jews, an Indian doctor, etc. living in my town. A town in my state has a relatively high number of Muslims living there and I noticed others have moved there from other towns. This way they get more Muslims on town councils, mayors, etc. and eventually go for higher political positions. While that is a normal goal, I don’t think having these enclaves is good, and many mosques preach against assimilation but rather only integration. (Work with non-Muslims, busses, etc.)

    Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for this much community development as I know the DOJ gave my little state $90 million dollars for refugees. I see more and more women with hijabs and even abayas, which is depressing. They aren’t particularly friendly and outgoing either-I’ve often been just stared at by the women while the men are friendlier. Some are pressured to not assimilate and “normalize” religious wear I never saw in decades long life until recently. In Europe the Muslim communities aren’t following all local laws and are insular. I think this is a much bigger reason than poverty.

    I have Laotian neighbors who came here with little money, most Hispanics here do work and take really crappy jobs, we have an influx of Koreans and nothing special was done for them, so the problem isn’t poverty, nor is isolation when they self-isolate themselves and their friends are only their “kind.” So many mosques breed anti-Americanism, secularism, and what we call our freedoms. If you don’t have much in common with people, it’s a bit hard to relate and be friends on a non-superficial level. Muslims have to take responsibility for the image they produce. “Inclusivity” in schools, etc. doesn’t mean we stop things for them-it is they who should be tolerant of other cultures too.

    There are billions of poor people and they’re not all committing terrorism. While we have homeless and people waiting for public housing, it’s shameful that they are being pushed aside for this false narrative. Who has less terrorism in Africa? The non-Islamic countries and there’s a lot of poor people there. Unfortunately militants are encroaching on those countries too; Kenya had deported 200,000 risky people. Angola prohibits mosque building as the Muslims there don’t need many.

    The worst I’ve heard from politicians is that climate change contributes to terrorism. How incredibly stupid. Terrorism in Islam has existed since its beginnings. It’s a most useful tool, and one Hitler admired.

      Their are very few people who are aware of this problem. When I’ve spoken to people regarding this problem, the pat answer is always, It’s just another religion… I believe that people will not wake up to this problem until it is far too late. People are more concerned with sports and with sitcoms than with the menace that is encroaching upon them…. Muhammad was a very successful warlord who put a religious spin on everything he did. His reign of evil is once again encroaching upon civilization.

    Ironically, the Senate would NEVER pass a bill earmarked for Minnesota’s Black American community which probably suffers from the same structural problems as the Somali community. Why does Minnesota need a parallel bill? Why can’t they get social services from the same place like everyone else?

  8. Alarmed Pig Farmer says

    Feb 11, 2018 at 3:24 pm

    Given the state’s Nordic heritage, few like socialism more than Minnesotans. They like taxes and they like central gubmint regulation. With socialism goes globalism, and that’s where the Moslems come in. I’ve always noticed the nice clothes worn by Somali “community leaders” when they appear on Eyewitness News segments after this or that Jihad mass murder attack. Nice shirts, nice slacks, nice clothes. But that money comes out of the pockets of private contributors to pro-Islam NGOs.

    It’s about time Minnesota made things right by tapping directly into taxpayer wallets, even those who understand Islam. So the Somalis get the NGO money, and now they get the state money. This is pleasurable to them cuz the latter is official Jizya paid in recognition of Islam as a valid force in the American body politic now.

    • Wellington says

      Feb 11, 2018 at 5:00 pm

      “Why don’t the rich muslims in CAIR raise money for their “fellow muslims?”

      For the same reason, ripp846, that Muslim nations aplenty haven’t taken in so-called Syrian refugees but rather want to see said so-called refugees go to Europe. It’s all part of a larger plan that can be partly explained by reading Sura 4:100 describing that specific rot about “emigrating for the cause of Allah.” Also, there’s the factor of jizya, as APF already mentioned, which Mo’s deluded followers expect from the infidel, who, in Islamic law to this very day, are the equivalent of human waste.

      There is no graciousness in Islam. There is no Golden Rule for all. There is in Islam, however, the wish to dominate the entire earth while at the same time pilfering money from the non-believers (and taking credit for the accomplishments of non-believers).

      In short, Islam is for assholes who think it their right to spread their nonsense everywhere, dominate everyone and take the “goods” of all those horrible non-Muslims who just can’t bring themselves to see that Islam is the true faith, and so non-Muslims deserve everything they get from followers of Mo’s creed. In short, Islam is one gigantic con job, a bullshit organization posing as a religion that makes the Mafia look like JV players.

More deceptive perhaps but how more restrained? After all, at least 270 million people killed in the name of Islam since its inception in the seventh century doesn’t, as I see it, add up to any kind of restraint. Please enlighten.

    Plan to destroy rights & freedoms in Trudeau’s Canada

    • KJW says

      Feb 11, 2018 at 9:39 pm

      That was a good video-he has a lot of common sense but the liberals don’t want common sense such as how he said Canadians would be less divided if they didn’t see these things that go against our values (female genital mutilation, sharia law, etc.) Muslims don’t want to take responsibility for the images and problems they contribute to. Liberals like feeding their perceived victimhood.

      That’s a lot of money funding non-revenue producing jobs, e.g. businesses that pay taxes. These NGOs and non-profits often have top executive salaries of over $100,000 off the public dole. Working, tax-paying Canadians shouldn’t have to pay for all this bureaucratic redundancy for a particular group of people who don’t even share liberal views, many coming from racist Middle Eastern countries-they are racist to black people because they aren’t black. There are videos on YT of black Muslims who are dark and they talk about the racism they get and are even called abd, which is slave in Arabic. It’s ironic, but slavery has always been a part of Islam too.

      Likewise, in the US, the repayment of bailout money from the investment banks gambling back in 2007 was finally paid out and should have gone back into the US Treasury, but the Wall Street Journal reported that Democrats, under Obama, gave a lot of that money to “social justice” groups such as the hateful, divisive La Raza, BLM, etc. It’s no wonder we have deficits.

      Trudeau is a dhimmi. He also said “Canada has no identity.” That’s what some European countries are saying-“We have no identity” “We don’t want our flag to offend people.” Even France’s PM Macon said, “French art? I’ve never seen French art.” WTF?

    These politicians are using tax money to pay for bribes for their own voter base. “General fund” means slush fund.

If I was a taxpayer in Minnesota I would OK with a study on why some Somali Muslims believe everything in the Quran and some just sort of believe it. If they did they would find out that most of their Muslim voting base do NOT believe in the separation of Mosque and State.

    According to 2010 American Community Survey data, there are approximately 85,700 Somalis in the United States, around 25,000 of whom live in Minnesota. They reside throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the surrounding towns. That amounts to giving every Somali living in Minnesota $750.00. Not much money per person. I had no idea there were so many here.

      Hard to imagine all Minnesotan’s want this. IMO, more likely: those who DON’T want this are outnumbered by those who do.

    All this attention to Somali’s. The African American unemployment rate in Minnesota is 7.5 % for 2018. Its too bad that African American elected officials spent their time serving the Democratic party leadership rather than serving the community.

    Mr. Spencer is correct, most terrorist have better educations and income than the Muslim norm. The Muslim Brotherhood is made up of nothing but businessmen, academics and imams. Another individual of note was Mohammad himself. Mohammad was born into a caravan trading family, was married to a wealth older women; and he could read.

    So the miss guided reasoning of those that pander to Islam continues.

    True.

    Where are the measurable components in this appropriation? With no requirements to take a measure of mile marks or set a measurable goal it is just the usual government stealing from the public and flushing it down the toilet.

    Government should have accountability, like any normal enterprise, and be required to accomplish its written objectives. Without such requirements other governments will continue works that continually fail – a definition of insanity. Governments must learn from each other.

    There is a famous shoplifting sign that reads: “Don’t steal. The government hates competition,”

    Wake up folks, look at Islamberg, up state New York, Islamville, South Carolina, geeez they are whole towns. Look at the map of the 22 Isis training places, add all the cities, Dearborn, Hamtramck, all muslim council, creeping into Troy, Michigan and many brag they will have their first Muslim governor. I use to believe the USA would save Canada, but who is going to save the USA? Past the point of no return perhaps. They are practicing Shari’ah law in the US and have been for quite some time. Those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish regular prayers, pay Zakat, enjoy good food, and forbid evil.

    A muslim can commit any crime he wants, and then can be assured that, in the name of allah, his crime is justified.With the help of the above-mentioned senators, Minnesota will go the way of Sweden… I guess things will have to reach their climatic end before people wake up to the fact that we are sleepwalking into oblivion…

      MInnesotans check out Phillip Parrish for governor. He understands how the government’s refugee resettlement program destableizes communities all over the U.S. He is the governor we need to help with immigration problems.

    Notice the many Globalist Trolls making idiotic suggestions..

    The purpose of course is then to point at such comments and say how Racist and Xenophobic is anyone who opposes the deliberate bringing of millions of people to the West from cultures largely incompatible with western values and norms.. To label as racist and or hateful those who oppose bringing in economically dependent classes in an attempt to change the demographics of America, Europe and even South America.

    Their idiotic suggestions are intended misdirect attention from the actual issues. Further to drive reasonable people away from participating in discussions opposing practices which facilitate such “migration” which more properly should be described as a Religious and Cultural Invasion of the West for the purposes of Conquest. An invasion orchestrated and sponsored by Trans Nationalist Globalists who are trying to pull the economic ladder up behind them and sentence the rest of the people of the Western World to a living hell so they pose no political or economic competition in the future,

    Linda, I live in a remote area, a few years ago a man decided it would be good to have turkeys in this area, so he brought in a pair. Now there are turkeys everywhere, they sit and sh t on the decks, they eat all the bird seed, they scare young the deer who are looking for winter food, they take over. One man has caused a lot of misery for many people. hmmm sound familiar. The road to hell was paved with good intentions.

    Most of MN is filled with idiotic, guilt-ridden self loathing progressives whose only relief from their guilt is to shower money on the muslims or any other perceived down trodden group. I wish they would just establish Sharia law and show the rest of the US just what they are promoting. Then they would provide a great example to show what islam really looks like and perhaps wake the rest of the country up.

    A quote from Paul Weston (Gates of Vienna) is particularly apt here:

    “Despite the oft repeated insistence by British politicians that Islam is a peaceful religion, vast sums of money are thrown at Muslims in the UK in an attempt to stop them blowing the rest of us up.”

      Well…giving them $2 million dollars 2 years ago didn’t work… Perhaps, giving this “community” of freeloaders $18 MILLION DOLLARS more of MINNESOTA TAX PAYER MONEY will be enough to do the trick this time.

      While immigrant connected crime, violence, and barbaric behavior has done nothing but increase exponentially since that time, perhaps this will be enough money to pacify the “community” of “the book”, and they will somehow be persuaded not to commit any more arson, killings, stop the roving rape gangs, stop the threats of violence (Kidnapping & Rape), stabbings, shootings, female genital mutilation, sexual assaults, and talking about the “BIG STICK” they believe they wield here, so on..

      Add this to the recent wave of “Welcoming & Just Cities” declaration(s), and we should be all set…

      Yep… That’ll do it!

      I’m pumped. Let the healing begin..
