Here's the latest story out of New Somalia:

SUMMARY: A Somali student at a technical high school in MN threatened to KILL a teacher's service dog because the dog was "unclean." The dog (trained to help the teacher in the event of a seizure which he apparently has every week or so) is now home with his master (the teacher) who quit so the dog would be safe.

Here's the best part... the school blames NOBODY since it was THEIR fault for the "misunderstanding" and for not explaining the situation to the student as well as they should have.

If it were me? I'd have threatened the student... "kill my dog? I kill you." end of incident.

Read full story here.

Oh yea... the student aspires to teach "Special Education!" Can you see the irony? It's unbelievable.

Thats crazy, Im surprised that they sided more with the student than the teacher. Its like who should we not piss off, Muslims or the handicapped.

I just read up and asked a friend about the Muslim faith and dogs when I saw the article. She said that they are considered unclean. You can touch or pet them but you arent supposed to let them stay in your house. For some reason the prejudice lies mainly against black dogs because "they tend to be more mischievous."

The reason for the prohibition on black dogs is because the terrorist prophet Mohammed ordered almost all dogs to be slaughtered (Work dogs were permitted to remain alive). He especially forbid any black dogs to remain alive or to be in the service of Muslims as work dogs such as those needed to hunt or herd livestock.

Liberals fought pretty hard for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Well... according to the ADA it is illegal to keep a disabled person out of school or discriminate on the basis of their need for a service dog.

Somali Muslim cabdrivers in MN were refusing to pick up disabled people with dogs. I don't know how that eventually turned out, but I do remember many liberals, even the detestable Minneapolis Star Tribune kind of taking the asinine "multicultural" approach as if Islam gave them a right to violate U.S. law.

It seems the insanity of "multiculturalism" means even the law takes a back seat to insanity.

It's sad, but kind of true.

I noticed the government of "New Somalia" has one of these Department of Human Rights and a website that educates people on Somali customs....

But change is in the air. As Somali people become aware of their rights, the willingness to walk away from unfair treatment without a fight is fading. And with more than 40,000 Somali now living in Minnesota, the need to accommodate followers of Islam, like the rights of individual believers, cannot reasonably be denied.
It seems like the government of "New Somalia" is talking about "change".

They want YOU to change... not them.

Maybe "Obamastan" is also the "change" that may be in everyone's future.

In order to not offend this religious group we should re-write current Search & Rescue protocols to prohibit these "unclean" dogs from participating in rescue operations which include any members of their faith.

Just so we're all on the same page, the guy whose dog was threatened was another student, not a teacher. And the person who threatened his dog may not be training to teach Special Ed, the story doesn't say. The threatened student is the one who aspires to teach Special Ed.

Doesn't change the fact that the clown with a problem should have been the one to leave but if we're going to rant, let's at least have the facts straight.

Most Muslims refuse to touch a Dog as it is considered unclean, some are even afraid of them.

I'm confused, you call them "Liberals", but what you're saying is very positive. Unless you think we should discriminate against the disabled?

What is there to be confused about? Where do you even get that I may feel we should discriminate against the disabled in anything I wrote?

Did you even read the article about what occurred at the school? They clearly did not properly come to defense of the student with the service dog. That was their number one priority. Not apologizing for or placating the third world Muslim.

Madman was pointing out the contradiction of the school taking a liberal stand in bending over backwards to accommodate the Somalian guy even though they're violating the ADA, which they worked hard to pass, in doing so.

Makes me want to walk around with a piece of bacon pinned to my lapel.

"I support Infidels"

No religious belief should dictate policy in any situation as it pertains to public affairs. If you don't like dogs or booze or bacon. Too bad.

Your rights stop where mine start. Don't like it. Leave this country and go somewhere else.

Unfortunately that is not the case. American society is losing on that front.

The Muslims are winning that battle with ever increasing frequency due to the insane mindset that has taken hold known as "multiculturalism".

The U.S. State Department even recently caved in to Muslim demands and ordered words such as "jihad", "jihadist", "mujahedeen", and other words to be officially prohibited to be used in conjunction with any descriptions of Islamic terrorism.

I guess maybe the government doesn't want to offend the jihadists they are now hosting in an exchange program with the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT). To add insult to this insanity, the IIIT is currently under active federal grand jury investigation for terrorist support activities.

The guy whose dog was threatened was a "student teacher." He was a student with almost enough credits to graduate, and he was getting them by teaching for a semester.

Somali cab drivers still pull up to houses with blind citizens and then sneak away so as not to have to carry their dogs in their cabs... the blind are encouraged to call the company and register a complaint, but without a cab number it is difficult to nail anybody. That pisses me off. I can't imagine pulling up to help a blind person, then peeling off when I see they have a guide dog. Are you kidding me?

I *ALWAYS* buy a fresh pack of pork ribs at our local Somali-Wali (Wal-Mart) when I go... Just to watch the check out lady put on plastic gloves to scan and bag 'em.

OH... the other thing the local Minneapolis Star Tribune and the local news crews are doing, is omitting the racial description for perpetrators of crimes since it might cause discrimination against others of that race. So... if a guy of a certain race were to rape a woman, the news would give out height and weight and other descriptive details, but not race. Nice, eh?

I had a tough time believing this...but it\'s true. , though the story says nothing about it being in response to "Muslim demands". What makes you think that was the reasoning?

Oh man, I'd have a field day with a muslim cashier handling pork. I'd also gladly walk around the store with a Tshirt with the Mohammed image with a bomb in the turban. I've even tried to get that Tshirt made, but you can't find a screen printer who will do it. Shame, really.

Fuck these people. The constitution does NOT guarantee the right to not be offended. I'm offended by their behavior and the audacity they have to piss on our laws and culture.

The Atlanta paper tried that same crap. They were immediately called on it and dropped it. Among the reasons was that it's kind of tough for citizens to be on the lookout for criminals if they don't know their race. :rolleyes:

Actually I re-read the article to figure out who was who. I misunderstood that the guy was a student but working in a teaching capacity. Understandable given that the headline says

SCSU student leaves training at Technical High School

But I'll admit when I make a mistake. cool

Anyone else remember the story about the 6 or so high school kids that got suspended for a week for pulling a senior prank where they dressed as bananas and another kid dressed as a gorilla chased them??

This is just lunacy. We're all concerned about our borders, New York and L.A. when the more I hear about this crap - the more I have to say that our most imminent threat to national security could very well already be among us.

The teacher should file suit against the student.
Kind of a "welcome to America" law suit so the student can get to know our culture a little better.
That way everyone wins!!!!

More news from New Somalia:

Muslim women file suit over work dress code....

http://www.startribune.com/19303124.html

Quote:
A group of Muslim workers allege they were fired by a New Brighton tortilla factory for refusing to wear uniforms that they say were immodest by Islamic standards.

Six Somali women claim they were ordered by a manager to wear pants and shirts to work instead of their traditional Islamic clothing of loose-fitting skirts and scarves, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a civil liberties group that is representing the women.

The women have filed a religious discrimination complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

"For these women, wearing tight-fitting pants is like being naked," said Valerie Shirley, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota chapter of CAIR. "It's simply not an option."
Now of course you know there is more to this story than the media is willing to admit.

These women work in a factory. Is there any factory that would allow anyone to wear loose fitting clothes with scarfs? Especially when working near or around things like conveyor belts?

Quote:
The women's traditional clothing was loose-fitting but never posed a safety risk, Shirley said, because the six women put tortillas in packages and did not work near machinery. "Tortillas came down a conveyor belt onto a table and they packaged them with their hands," she said. "There wasn't even the potential of a safety hazard."
Now just imagine if these unreasonable scum win this lawsuit. Then suppose down the road one of these women get their scarves caught in a conveyor and is strangled to death. It would be the government's fault. But guess who would be sued?

I was in Rochester, MN last weekend and got into a conversation with my buddy's father-in-law, a retired FBI agent.

He basically confirmed the sentiments conveyed in this thread. The exact term he used was "slow trickle".

This appeasement needs to stop. We need to think of our own, not those freaking Muslims who think they're all that. they need to realize they are not all that, and that they need to be held at the same level as everyone else, not better

I heard that this morning. It's a tortilla factory job... for pity sakes go work in a Dairy Queen if you don't like it.

I'm gonna start a religion that insists upon cargo shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops as "required religious regalia."

My religion dictates I never wash my Xterra.
Mud must be adheared at all times.

Moab is Mecca and I am praying for all the pilgrims doing their hajj this year.

Thou shalt shrock and snorkel.

Thou shalt not bash thine heep owners. We're only in it for the mileage. Really!

Thou shalt help thine unlocked brothers.

Thou shalt look out for the Hummers and FJ's 'cause with those tiny windows they may not have your vision.

Im sure they were well informed of the dress code before they accepted the job. It would be crazy if they win this lawsuit. Im sure the factory has their signatures on paper where they agreed to wear a strict uniform of some sort.

Noooo, no, no... you don't understand. This is Minnesota we're talking about. Land of 10,000 treatment centers and birthplace of the Union. Hell until recently, the mayor of Minneapolis was a black feminist lesbian! True story.

They'll over turn any ruling in favor of "big business" just to bring attention to Al Franken (who's running for a Senate seat out of MN, by the way, and who has 47% of the Democratic vote in the polls).
