I believe this is the “death threat” Giuliani thought was specifically for him.

If I’m not mistaken Minnesota has a huge African immigrant population who are mostly Muslim. Be prepared to see stories about rampaging in their communities because surely, the twisted thinking will go, the newcomers are at the bottom of all and any possible attacks.

About 30K Somali refugees and their families have settled in MN since the early 90s. A few of the youngsters have had the “Alienation Blues” and have signed up for Jihad.

Good time for the Republicans to go for a shut down next week, especially DHS.

It’s -5 degrees there right now.
Maybe it’s just me but what kind of sense of humor do you have to have to resettle tropical natives in Minnesota?
All I could think of was John Prine and Sabu:

Perhaps calculated to pressure Democratic senators to drop their filibuster of the funding bill and President Obama to sign it (viz. article “Republican Governors…”). If he does, he guts his executive order re. immigrants.

If President Obama vetos the bill, as he said he would, then he doesn’t take the threat of Islamic terrorism seriously and can’t be trusted to protect Murca and its interests. This distrust should also extend to his nuclear negotiations with Iran, and Bibi will be coming soon to tell us so. The pressure on Democratic senators to override his veto of the Homeland Security funding bill is being increased; ditto for the pressure on Democratic senators to vote for increasing sanctions on Iran and to override the President’s expected veto.

The source for this al Shabaab terrorist threat is ABC News, a division of Disney Inc.

You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

“Groups like ISIL, al Shabaab, AQAP, are now publicly calling for attacks, either through the Internet, through videos, through publications, which means that we need to respond militarily. But we also have to have a whole government approach to law enforcement, Homeland Security and frankly, countering violent extremism efforts here in the homeland and communities.”

Let’s give a shout out to militarized police enforcing! Ferguson, Mo. was only the harbinger.

Thank you that interesting and in-depth reply. Good food for thought.

Not sure we should be quaking in our boots at a terrorist organization that sounds like a doo-wop lyric.

Thanks for the specific number CandiRue, I was going to say it is huge only in the minds of the right-wing bigots, which I know for sure is not littlegirlblue. I generally love her posts, so somehow she just stumbled on some bad data.
What we do proudly have in Minnesota is the only muslim member of Congress, Keith Ellison, a very erudite man and hard-working liberal. We’re proud of him.

Yet another reason not to go to a mega-mall.

Hey Al_Fisher, No offense intended in what I posted. I stumbled on something about African immigrants in Minnesota, and I shouldn’t have said “huge”, but there are enough African immigrants in a particular St. Paul neighborhood, according to what I read, that it is called Little Africa. I have nothing but respect for people who come here to a country which is unlike any place they’ve ever known and succeed (and even get a call to act in a Tom Hanks movie).
