Whining Will Get You Nowhere

Regarding a story published at KARE 11


ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- About three dozen Muslims and their supporters rallied Monday morning across from Apollo High School to show support for students who attend the school.

Those at the rally say the school staff is not doing enough to keep Muslim students from being harassed and in some cases is contributing to it. "Some of the teachers on some of these things, they say a lot of bad stuff, like go back to (your) country. You guys stink," said Ali Gure, 18, a high school senior.

"Some of the teachers". Hmm. I believe the stink mentioned is the waft of bullshit.
 
The rally organizer, Mohamoud Ismail Mohamed, added his own list of grievances. "Verbal abuses, like 'I hate Islam' and 'I hate you guys. You are different. Why (did) you come to our country?' which makes the life of the children in this school very hard," said Mohamed.
 
A more succinct question would have been "Why are you trying to bring your country here?" The story goes on to report that St. Cloud schools are about 9% Muslim, with most of them being Somali. This story is a microcosm of the inevitable result when we abandoned the "melting pot" value and replaced it with a mindless worship of "diversity".

The Somali "community" has a long record of grievance-mongering in Minnesota, supported by the terrorist loving CAIR. When Jim's forefathers came over on the boat, they got treated like shit. They got over it and assimilated because they wanted to be Americans. Both of my grandfathers came over on the boat. They learned Emglish and went to work because they wanted to be Americans.

I haven't seen much evidence that Somalis are interested in becoming Americans. All I have seen is complaining and victim-pimping. Oh I'm sure they like all the food, and the fact that no one is shooting at them or lopping off their extremities with a machete, but I don't see them doing what the Hmong did a generation earlier. Like Tom Petty said, "You don't have to live like a refugee".

If the "leaders" of the Somali community really want to improve relations with their neighbors (which I doubt) they might want to consider switching up the strategy. Stop of all the whining and protests. A simple thank you would be far more productive.
