In 2011, I wrote a blog titled, ”Somali Immigrants in Minnesota: Import a Problem, Then Pay to Try to Fix It”. It considered the problems of gang formation and jihad behavior among young Somali immigrants. The centerpiece was the testimony of the St. Paul Police Chief to Congress, where he enthused over his excellent outreach to at-risk diverse youth, noting, “Our Police Athletic League has over 300 Somali American youth participants who compete in soccer, flag football, softball and volleyball games that are organized, coached and refereed by Saint Paul Police Officers.”

Maybe some Somali boyz responded positively to American sports, but the siren call of jihad still attracts young Minnesota-residing Muslims who leave to fight for Islam in Syria and Somalia.

But failure is no problem where liberal rescue programs are concerned: just keep repeating the same old unsuccessful approaches. And so more money is being poured into social spending for Somalis.

Wouldn’t it make more sense and be less expensive for taxpayers to stop importing Somalis altogether? Nobody benefits from this policy of importing unfriendly Muslims, except for moocher non-profits that hire members of the ethnic tribe in question. Furthermore, any spare money for do-gooder projects should be spent to help American kids who face a tough economy as they grow up.

Anyway, Somalis don’t appear to even like America. A roving interview of Minneapolis Somalis in 2015 found many would rather live under Islamic sharia law than the American Constitution.

Islam cannot be fixed or reformed. The best that can be done is to quarantine it, which should be the policy of our government. Hopefully the next administration will be less friendly to hostile Islam and will not welcome historic enemies inside the gates.
