Kerry: Violent extremism is not Islamic

By KEN DILANIAN
Associated Press

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) -- Violent extremists who are killing children and others in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and other parts of the world may cite Islam as a justification, but the West should be careful about calling them Islamic radicals, Secretary of State John Kerry told an audience of opinion leaders Friday at the World Economic Forum.

In a speech calling for a global effort against violent extremism, Kerry said it would be a mistake to link Islam to criminal conduct rooted in alienation, poverty, thrill-seeking and other factors.

"We have to keep our heads," Kerry said. "The biggest error we could make would be to blame Muslims for crimes...that their faith utterly rejects," he added.

"We will certainly not defeat our foes by vilifying potential partners," the top U.S. diplomat said. "We may very well fuel the very fires that we want to put out."

Kerry's comments highlighted a rhetorical division between the U.S. and its closest allies. French President Francois Hollande told the same audience earlier Friday that Islamic extremism is a problem that must be opposed. On Thursday, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond stood next to Kerry and urged the defeat of what he called "the scourge of violent Islamist extremism."

The Obama administration has come under criticism for its unwillingness to differentiate between Islamic extremism and other forms of extremist violence.

Earlier this week, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii and Iraq war veteran, said it was a "bipartisan concern" that Obama and his top aides don't use the term "Islamic extremism."

You might not be far off the mark - glad you folks are so charitable. Mind you, your new citizens seem to think you are a bunch of bad folks for not providing their dietary needs at zero cost.

A buddy sent me this letter with some interesting new embedded.

Minnesota Muslims Demand Pork-Free Halal Food From Welfare Food Bank

By Top Right News on October 12, 2014


Above: Somali “refugees” on lifetime welfare demand their free food adhere to Islamic Law

by Jason DeWitt | Top Right News

Whoever said “beggars can’t be choosers” never met Somali Muslim refugees in Minnesota.
These Muslim imports in Minneapolis are now demanding a tax-funded “halal” non-pork food shelf at a free food pantry for the poor.

As if it’s not bad enough that nearly all the “American” Muslims who have joined ISIS have been Somalis from Minneapolis, their relatives here are demanding that Americans adhere to the same Sharia Laws the Islamic State fighters are trying to impose throughout the Middle East.

A group of first-generation Somali Americans says they need help in developing a food shelf that specializes in healthy foods that do not contain pork or pork byproducts. “It’s about human rights also, basic human rights to get the proper food and also healthy food,” said Imam Hassan Mohamud.

“Human rights”? Seriously? Their arrogance and self-entitlement has to be unprecedented for a group on the public dole.

Tens of thousands of Somalis settled in Minneapolis/St. Paul after Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and later Barack Obama imported them and funded massive “refugee” centers there. Welfare, schools, hospitals and social services have been crushed by the burden of immigrants who lack the most basic skills to live in a modern society.

This is hardly the first demands Somalis have made on the good people of Minneapolis. When the influx of Somali thugs natually resulted is a massive increase in crime a decade ago, Somalis demanded a $48 million Sharia-compliant “youth center” to keep Somali gangs “out of trouble”.

We have read for several years now how Muslim cab drivers in Minneapolis and several airports have kicked out blind passengers with guide dogs (dogs are “unclean” in Islam), or customers transporting alcohol. They came here, taking advantage of American generosity, and returned it by enforcing their own brand of Sharia Law upon us.

Liberals in Minnesota have bent over backwards for them, setting up foot-washing basins in their airport and even at a university, in response to their demands.

But as with most appeasement, these refugees keep making more demands. Now it is for “halal” products (meat slaughtered with Islamic prayers and a ban on pork).

The Imam leading this protest actually claimed that there were beans with pork in it and this was a “literacy” issue that required more government funding and special halal-compliant beans. But one commenter on the article from Minneapolis wrote:

As someone who made use of the foodshelf recently, I can tell you that most of the food doesn’t contain pork. I hear what they are saying about a literacy issue, but can’t the food shelf people just point out the cans of pork and beans? Besides, the food shelf is based on donations!

This is not about Muslims “making do” or getting help on what to eat. The Koran demands that Muslim make any country they live in adapt to them and Sharia Law. The last thing they plan to do is assimilate.

One blogger added:

How long until they demand separate entrances to the food pantry for men and women and separate entrances for Muslims who don’t want to see any Christmas or holiday food or decorations?

The state of Maine has also been crushed by Somalis that Obama has forced upon them. The Governor of Maine, Paul LePage has valiantly been trying to cut off cash aid to Somalis – nearly all of whom are on welfare – since Obama has purposely dumped thousands of them in Lewiston and Portland.

America got Black Hawk Down and 18 dead Americans. Somalis got 90,000+ “asylum” slots in America, free housing, Sharia-compliant facilities, and a lifetime of welfare. How do you say “chumps” in Somali?

Understanding the Somali conflict would take up a shelf in a library to properly understand it..

what I understand,.. the french screwed up again..

but soon after islam and socialism soon took over

Mohammed Siad Barre started this and enabled his clan, the Marehan clan, one of the Daroud sub-clans to control other clans during his reign, although he led his military coup under the Supreme Revolutionary Council.

The Supreme Revolutionary Council appeared as the first political party to be socialist and Barre assumed that he was inspired by the Marxists in the Soviet Union and China, just as Jafar al-Numeri in Sudan and banned all parties and started a form of of scientific socialism in Somalia. (The coups of Numeri and Barre were both in 1969).

not a good way to run a country.. b

The political problems in Somalia escalated and Somalia lived unbearable pain during the hard anarchy period led by the warlords and the separatist groups from 1991 to 2004.

Maybe we should have drawn wider lines in the sand to separate the groups
from killing each other?

but for some odd reason we granted refugee status to Somalis in general and ended up with muslims who are persecuting Christians and any non muslim..

Religious freedom

Due to the ongoing civil war in the southern part of the country, professing Christians in Somalia have faced persecution and sometimes death. There are no church buildings in the country nor any legal protection for Christians, some of whom would meet in underground churches.[1]

Paramilitary groups in Somalia have also engaged in widespread looting of Christian graves.

Sometimes the term "Christian" was a label that the jihadists would affix on people they suspected of working for Ethiopian intelligence.[1] In August 2009, International Christian Concern also reported that four Christians working to help orphans in Somalia were beheaded by Islamist extremists when they refused to convert to Islam.[12]

In December 2013, the Ministry of Justice and Religious Affairs released a directive prohibiting the celebration of Christian festivities in the country.

and yet we invite in the muslims.. can our government get any dumber?

and yet they profess to have religious freedom..

Article 2 of the Provisional Constitution of Somalia defines Islam as the state religion of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and Islamic sharia as the basic source for national legislation. It also stipulates that no law that is inconsistent with the basic tenets of Shari'a can be enacted.

Article 11 guarantees equal rights and freedom from persecution for all citizens before the law regardless of religion. Additionally, Article 17 protects freedom of religion.

yep,.. you can have any religion you want as long as it is islam.. :?
