Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump targeted Maine’s Somali Muslim community while making a point about immigration and radicalized Muslims. Trump told supporters at packed Merrill Auditorium in Portland that Maine is a “major destination” for radicalized Somali Muslim refugees and that they’re coming from some of the world’s “most dangerous places.” He said the nation’s acceptance of refugees “has to stop.”
Associated Press The Somali Muslim Community Center of Maine said the Republican presidential candidate’s remarks were damaging to the psyche of our youth to hear a major party presidential nominee insult our culture and religion, especially while standing next to the governor of our state,” the community center said in a statement. “We condemn his name calling, scapegoating and the lies perpetrated by his campaign.”
Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who supports Trump and has sparred with Somali Muslim immigrant groups in the past, introduced Trump at Thursday’s events. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Somalis began coming to Maine in the 1990s as part of a refugee resettlement effort in Portland. Integration was not without challenges. Laurier Raymond, then Lewiston’s mayor, told Somalis to stop relocating to the city in 2002 because of what he called a strain on social and welfare services.
A few years later, someone rolled a frozen pig’s head into a mosque, drawing widespread condemnation from the community and eventually criminal charges.
These days, it’s common in both cities to see colorful burqa-clad Somali Muslim mothers shepherding children around playgrounds, something no one would have fathomed decades ago in the state that still has the lowest percentage of nonwhites in the U.S. Other Somali Muslim welfare communities have grown in places such as Minnesota and Columbus, Ohio.
Young men in Minnesota’s Somali community have been targeted by terror recruiters in recent years, and three Somali men who were accused of plotting to go to Syria to join the Islamic State group were convicted in June of conspiracy. There have been no such arrests in Maine yet…but it’s only a matter of time.
In his speech, Trump said, “As Maine knows, a major destination for Somali refugees, right? Am I right? Well, they’re all talking about it — Maine, Somali refugees,” Trump said Thursday. “We admit hundreds of thousands, you admit, into Maine and to other places in the United States, hundreds of thousands of refugees. And they’re coming from among the most dangerous territories and countries anywhere in the world.”
We need 0 muslims. We don’t Have to take in anyone. The other muslims cuties don’t want then because they know what we are getting.
November is getting closer…come on Tump we need you
I agree. Islamisn is a FAILED CIVILIZATION. It survives in some form only where violence driven by shari’a reign. It survives in areas of the world whose typical population has least exposure to 21st or 20th century economic/agricultural advances; where tribes by whatever name rule.
I remember when the residents of Lewiston, Maine were told to expect Somali refugees in that medium sized Maine town. When they arrived, they didn’t know how to use stoves or even doorknobs. Of course, the local churches bent over backward trying to show how “kind-hearted” they were. American citizens were never asked about this. My guess is that most of them would refuse this invasion.
Somalis especially are well known for their viciousness and are even feared by other African nations because of this. They love becoming Muslims not out of any real belief but because Islam is the perfect religion for them. It condones killings and torture. Somalis seem to love these actions so much and Islam gives them a religious cloak to hide behind. Just my opinion, but that’s how I see it.
My hubby and I are considering re-locating to Maine (not to worry-we love cold and snow, having lived in South Dakota for a bit). Now I’m thinking that Mainers are going to be the next victims and the State itself turning into another Minnesota. Soon we will have nowhere to go. Hey, you Maine musslims, prove Trump wrong! You can’t.
Who dumps poisonous snakes into their own home??? That is what is going on here. WE NEED YOU, MR. TRUMP! The media has spent most of its time since Killary got the nomination trying to denigrate Trump and proving he is way behind in the statistics.
In other words, Obama’s Negro Muslim bruthas.
Shit people from a shit country. It will never change. Why, again, are we bringing them here?
I looked at a demographics map and, lo and behold, the majority of somalians live in keith ‘crying could-be-gay congressman’s’ district. This is a large part of Minneapolis and environs.
Black Hawk Down?
MINN is a target rich environment when the shtf better have lots of ammo .
4 words – “VOTE TRUMP IN NOVEMBER” nuff said
It is the truth that bothers these savages??? Screw Them and their enablers !!! get them the hell out of here!!! Trump is RIGHT!!! The truth will always upset those it exposes TOO BAD!!! We in America have ONE change to make, and that’s put Trump in the White House. Make America safe again!! You guys down under need to make that song “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”, your national cry!! throw the filth out!! BTW Obama as we read this is flying in THOUSANDS of these savages to terrorize us, and Hilary wants to take our guns!! There better be a wake up call, world wide in western nations, or the sleep we sleep will be the BIG ONE!!
I reason that some of these attacks a simply savages using islam as an excuse to do what they want; rape and beat on white people because they are savages without better skills than killing, theft and rape.
Fat women, huge families …all on welfare ….plus a definite terrorist connection. Obama really knows how to hit ’em ‘out of the park’ doesn’t he ??
Why does our country take in so many of these dangerous leeches? They should have been resettled in Africa. A condition of their settlement here should be regular medical services which include treatment for diseases from their continent & mandatory birth control. Keep them from multiplying like cockroaches! All of them hanging off the American citizens hard earned dollar. Plus they should have heavy supervision to watch for radicalization. Better yet, a condition for immigration- abandonment of Islam & all violent ideologies.
American citizens should have the right to vote for any mass immigration.
Sounds like someone is upset that their culture of savage Islamic violence is being insulted.
Perhaps if they converted to pretty much any other religion and assimilated then this wouldn’t be a problem.
We don’t need a culture of Islamic savagery.
all they do is relocate their barbaric subhuman cultures to another land. their welfare will not cease. somalia=black hawk down. i loath somalia and they are probably some of the spooks that were there during black hawk down! even their offspring were savages. lesson learned? NOT!
Sorry, BNI, for being off-topic, on this one –
Reclaim Australia, has just had a member raided. Police are in full on obfuscation mode. The Media is in a feeding frenzy. I BELIEVE THIS IS A LOAD OF HORSE MANURE.
https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/32257043/alleged-right-wing-extremist-arrested-in-anti-terror-raids-across-melbourne/#page1
Germany, France, England and Belgium, have been harassing anti-muslim and anti-immigration groups, looks like it is stepping up a notch here,in Australia too.
Kev, why are counter-terrorism police raiding non-Muslim homes?
I think it is for a chilling affect. Reclaim Australia, is fighting against out-of-control immigration and the subjugation, of non-muslims. The Australian slime-media, are saying he had a copy of the ‘Anarchist’s Cookbook’, in his possession. Police are also refusing to provide any details. A Victorian Government spokesman, has come out and stated, ‘There was no imminent threat’. If there was no ‘imminent threat’, why the all machine gun toting Police? My answer – MEDIA CIRCUS or Muslim infiltration of the Australian Federal Police.
Kev, sometimes they pull a stunt like this just to make it look like they aren’t only targeting muslims.
BNI story today – http://www.barenakedislam.com/2016/08/06/australias-homegrown-muslim-teenage-terrorists-are-not-easy-to-find-and-even-harder-to-stop/
The Reclaim Australia, terror raids, will draw attention away from this story and give the Slime-media, a nice distraction.
I know.
AND WHILE I AM FUMING – Here is a story, on topic, for this article
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/gangs_brawl_in_melbourne_why_did_we_import_this_danger/
The Police are keeping a lot of their inteligence under wraps.
The far right (Reclaim Australia) assumingly would be anti-terror, meaning Anti Islam.
Perhaps they may have been planning the reverse of what the thieving & radical Muslims freely get away with what they do unto us kaffir.
That is, being some return payback plan?
Our police are probably just playing fair (discrimination) i.e terrorist acts not just known as Muslim acts.
One just hopes that our Australian PM (Mr Turnbull) who pretends our muslims are all lovely -A PM who earned his fortune in our banking system – leads me to question: We hear of the dark internet.
So, is there a dark banking sytem?
The CEO who pretty clearly is doing his best at our Government work place – to make me, an honest worker, out to be what indeed it appears he himself and his grub associates actually are.
This man was previously in charge of a bank, like that of his Islam brother is.
Well, they rip off multiple Australian companies.
So, they need to find ways for their money laundering.
Our prior PM, Mr Rudd hand picked this Islam man to be elevated to CEO of where where I now work.
This prior prime minister, Mr Rudd has just been rejected by Mr Turnbull for a nomination for a top job at the UN.
This is a very good thing! No doubt, Australia would have cast upon it – unwanted refugees from this Ex PM. Which is why I question where, or who backs a lot of these other UN people.
And the validity of he and his wife’s fortunes amassed over the decades.
Partly backed by Islam corruption is something that comes to mind.
My fear is – Is Mr Turnbull (I beleive he had little choice as to not back Mr Rudd), is that Mr Turnbull is not that much different than Mr Rudd.
Our current weak and likely corrupt prior Governments, have given Islam and their Halal and never ending rights – an even bigger foot hold in our country.
We are too, are heading down the Canada, United States, Europe – NOT ALLOWED to tell the truth.
Freedom of speech is nearly gone.
& Oh, No doubt – our prior Prime Mininster Tony Abott was honest and had the best interests of Australia’s majority.
I see Mr Turnbull, having a vested interest in adhering to Australia’s unwanted theiving minority.
Oh yes, we apparently have a robust banking sector (what we see). Multiple id’s needed to set up accounts etc.
Yet, I heard of one of the big 4 banks had accounts set up on their system using names such as “superman” etc etc. So all well and good having great procedures, so long as easy criminal access is not given to the “Black Banking”!
Bring on the Bank enquiry.
And bring on the bad union enquiry.
say, we have outlawed motor bike gangs (made so bad primarily by Islam thugs)
When do we shine the light on – politicians who backed former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for the UN.
& have some needed political party corruption enquiry too.
For now – thankyou BNI for our limited freedom of speech.
I do not see the tide changing. Most people are all too greedy.
Mr Turnbull will have law enforcement pretend to us public that the far right is as bad as radical Islam believers.
Too an extent, this may be true.
But it seems to me, he is not the honest Prime Minister our Country needs.
I still like Tony Abbott.
Yes – Tony Abbott was for the greater good – No corruption on his behalf.
ps These Islam people make up serious lies about people they consider a threat to their thieving way of life.
It’s possible Reclaim Australia had serious rubbish made up about them – Just as I know they made up serious lies about myself.
Kev, it wouldnt surprise me to find that the so called evidence is flimsy at best.
This is just a cynical attempt by Turdbull to win over the green left Media who will always hate his guts no matter what he does.
He’s already made it clear his support for the anti-free speach laws now hes turning the police onto anyone who his Islamic friends disapprove of in the vain hope of gaining their support, which shows how naive or stupid he is because if they had their way then he would be the first one to be burned alive.
My opinion is that as time goes by he is looking more like a Green left trojan horse everyday.
Hee ! Hee ! the lefties behind hilary are already thinking this election is over , shows they never read Donald’s version of what is known as The Big Sting , Trump may look like he is stumbling and bumbling around ! self made Billionaires never do nothing for nothing this one is going to educate them and we got a front row seat
Somali are anarchists at best. They screwed up their own country to the point it is unlivable and western civilizations bring them in by the boat/plane full just to screw our countries up. The good news is when the shit hits the fan they will not be able to blend into the populations as easy as they did in Somalia. Bring on the open season.
MUSLIMS: “We condemn his name calling, scapegoating and the lies perpetrated by his campaign.” — LIES ????????????????????
MUSLIMS: The Republican presidential candidate’s remarks were damaging to the psyche of our youth to hear a major party presidential nominee insult our culture and religion’
Saying truthful things about Muslim culture and ‘religion’ is insulting ????????
In Britain and Europe, imported Muslims have been waging A Very Violent Rape Jihad on a WAR time scale on our native women and children for decades.
Our women and children are severely persecuted by Dirty, Demonic, Inhuman, imported Muslim Monsters — the SPAWN of SATAN because they’re White European Christians and don’t belong to the RAPE/MURDER BLOOD Cult of Islam — a MAJOR reason non-Muslims DON’T Want ANY Muslims in their nations.
And Muslims have a very nasty habit of practising their ‘religion’ — Muslims just can’t stop from constant stabbing jihads, car jihads, beheading jihads, nightclub jihads, shooting jihads… all kinds of jihads, and then CELEBRATING their jihads against the infidels
and Muslims declare the psyche of their youth is damaged by Donald Trump and other Truth Tellers stating the TRUTH that imported Muslims are a huge danger and bring terrible suffering to our people?
Hamas – Kill Christians & Jews To The Last One – حماس
Please Trump get in office, if Hillary gets in our country will be the dumping pot for all these people we know nothing about.
In MAINE last August (2015) three Somali Moslem men slaughtered a black Christian man who had recently immigrated to the Portland Maine area (the murdered man, Freddy Akoa, was working at the Portland hospital as a health aide). Freddy Akoa is still dead; I believe one of the Somali Moslem murderers took the rap in a plea bargain deal and is serving some time, although he should be executed as an enemy combatant. THEY BEAT HIM TO DEATH WITH HIS OWN BIBLE etc. over a period of perhaps five hours (viciou torture/murder), after visiting Freddy Akoa in his apartment.
We need to deport these muslims quickly. Any violent acts they commit should be answered with street justice in Maine!
GO Mr Trump America , Europe, America Latina ASKS FOR HELP
If anyone is interested I go through how I came up with 1 out of every 1000 Somali men in the US has either joined a terror group or has been arrested for joining a terror group in the following reddit post. To me that’s insane. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskTrumpSupporters/comments/4w397m/trying_to_understand_trump_supporters_on_trumps/d63q5qp
To you that’s insane, but to me that’s called Islam.
Even 0.1% terrorists is too many, especially when you add in 50% of Muslims supporting sharia law, and 25% saying sharia should be forced on everyone, not just Muslims.
The muzslime were murdering the Christians in Somalia so I Guess our government figured they would bring a bunch of the rag heads here to do the same.
Fingers crossed for you guys, on trump!!!
Brexit meant for me we/I stand with my American brothers/cousins all of you,
We/ i stand with you
Thank you, we need all the support and prayers we can get! For Trump to win this election.
Yeah! This is what I want to hear from Trump!
