The Twin Cities have an ISIS problem'

[Geee]

American Thinker:

Minneapolis-St. Paul has what the media refers to as “an ISIS problem.”

 

It’s no coincidence ISIS is recruiting in the Twin Cities area. There is a huge population of 30,000 Somali Muslims who live there.

 

I would say the area has a Muslim problem, but that’s just me.

 

A recent Business Insider report states there has been a “string of Islamic State-related arrests over roughly the last year” due to the “large Somali community.” Andrew Lugar, U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, speaking at an FBI news conference stated: "To be clear. We have a terror-recruiting problem in Minnesota…Parents and loved ones should know that there is not one master recruiter organizing in the Somali community locally…the person radicalizing your son, your brother, your friend, may not be a stranger. It may be their best friend right here in town.”

 

The article also addresses former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s community outreach program to curb the growing trend of young Somalis joining ISIS -- a program the Twin Cities participated in. The program included “outreach to Somali youth, after-school and mentorship programs, community engagement by local police officers, increasing the number of Somali officers, and jobs and education programs.”

 

You know, because if only they had jobs, all would be well. Or so some still contend, against all evidence.
