[QUOTE="Siri Kamala, post: 139156, member: 13802"] [b]Somali Muslims in Lewiston, Maine, and elsewhere in USA[/b] [COLOR="Black"] Ummm...yeah. Just to put this in proper context -- Bare Naked Islam is a blog, not a reliable, objective news source. Not only is BNI a blog, but it is a somewhat racist, right-wing extremist blog (by its own admission). Personally I don't think I'd be quoting anything from them here if I wanted the subject in question to be taken seriously... but that's just me. As for the Somali Bantu immigrant population in Lewiston, Maine and elsewhere in the US -- wow, there are just so many outright alarmist lies in that blog post I almost don't know where to begin. Take this for example: The last line of the post is the most ridiculous -- [/COLOR] [SIZE="3"][B][COLOR="Red"]40,000?!?[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] :rofl!!: [COLOR="Black"]LOL! Oh honey please... do a little research before posting such things! It makes us look bad to repeat such nonsensical lies! The correct data is that the TOTAL POPULATION OF ALL PEOPLE in Lewiston, ME, is actually closer to [I]35,000[/I] now. The Somali Bantu population is FAR smaller than that. But don't take my word for it -- read [URL="http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/SAFFPopulation?_event=Search&_name=lewiston&_state=04000US23&_county=lewiston&_cityTown=lewiston&_zip=&_sse=on&_lang=en&pctxt=fph"]the data from the US Census Bureau[/URL]. Look -- I'm no big fan of Islam, but I'm even less of a fan of spreading hateful rumors and racist lies that get people all worked up over nothing. These people were allowed to resettle in the US because they were *refugees*, okay? Not because they plotted and planned to spread Islam by coming here. They were invited to come out of compassion, because they were persecuted and suffering. My state has provided resettlement services for many of these people as well. They are hard-working, they want to be good neighbors, and they do not push their beliefs on others. I recommend you take a look at this trailer from [URL="http://www.pbs.org/pov/raininadryland/"]this documentary[/URL] about the experience these poor souls have had preparing to assimilate into their new homeland. The entire documentary can be viewed online here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MkOR_0lu84"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MkOR_0lu84[/url] Facts and Data are our friends.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
