So it begins. There has been a large Somali population of refugees in our state since the 1980's. Many are Muslim. They are working, attending college, raising families and causing no more trouble than anyone else. Last night on the way home from work, I was listening to a call-in radio program and the caller said "It's time to clean out those Somali's."
THIS is what I object to about all the extreme Muslim trashing that goes on here. It leads to stupid stuff. Yes, there IS a bonafide reason to be concerned about Muslims; some could be jihadi's. We need to keep our guard up and stay alert to that. But the stupid stuff about Muslims who have been here for decades and have never blown up anyone is downright reactionary, hateful and mindless.
Please THINK about what you're saying when you fan the flames of hysteria. Innocent people will get burned.
