Minnesota Sheriff Bows Down To Islam, Surrenders To Terrorists At CAIR

 Hennepin County Sheriff Richard W. Stanek, left, and Major J.R. Storms spoke about the addition of a policy regarding religious head coverings for inmates.




Minnesota's Hennepin County (Minneapolis) Sheriff Rich Stanek can officially change his middle name to "Dhimmi" as he has announced a new program where Muslim inmates at the county jail now can wear their head coverings - a new policy that came about for two reasons:


a)  Stanek curled up into a ball and cowered at the threats from the terrorists at CAIR-MN
b)  Stanek is scared to death of pissing off the growing and violent population of Somali Muslims in Hennepin County

Look at this quote from the article from one of the Muslim advocates in Hennepin County:

“This addresses the most fundamental of civil rights,” said Fartun Weli, executive director of Isuroon, a Somali women’s advocacy group. “It’s part of our identity.”

The trauma of an arrest can move a suspect to “seek spiritual relief, but they also have to deal with the shame of not being able to wear a head covering,” Weli said. “This is a big deal to us, but we aren’t saying somebody should receive special treatment because of their religion.”

See?  These clowns, these Somali "refugees" cannot and WILL NOT assimilate into any aspect of American society....hell, they won't even assimilate into a prison's rules!

Look at the quote above again - you know, if you are so desperately in need of your "spirituality" when you land your ass in a jail cell, THEN DON'T DO THE FUCKING CRIME, HAJI !

Great job, Sheriff Stanek.  You have just officially lost all sense of control over the most violent group of people in Minnesota.  I hope you are ready to put a foot bath in every one of Hennepin County's jail cells.

Hennepin County sheriff's office announces new policy for religious head coverings for inmates


Inmates at the Hennepin County jail will be allowed to wear religious head coverings, the Sheriff’s Office said Thursday, making it the first law enforcement agency in Minnesota to adopt such a policy.

Just a few hours after Sheriff Rich Stanek announced the change, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office said it will roll out a similar policy this week.

The new policies were warmly welcomed by representatives of religious and cultural groups.

“This addresses the most fundamental of civil rights,” said Fartun Weli, executive director of Isuroon, a Somali women’s advocacy group. “It’s part of our identity.”

The trauma of an arrest can move a suspect to “seek spiritual relief, but they also have to deal with the shame of not being able to wear a head covering,” Weli said. “This is a big deal to us, but we aren’t saying somebody should receive special treatment because of their religion.”

Although both sheriff’s offices had been considering the changes for nearly a year, a compelling letter from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to Stanek last fall drove home the importance of allowing religious garb in jail, the sheriff said.

In Hennepin County, at least a couple of dozen inmates each year will be affected. When individuals wearing a head covering such as yarmulke, hijab or kufi are booked into jail, they will be taken to a private area where the clothing item will be searched and inventoried. For security reasons, the jail then will provide a replacement.

Procedures are also in place for inmates who didn’t arrive wearing a religious head covering, but want to request one.

One caveat: An inmate can receive a head covering only if he or she isn’t deemed a safety or security threat, Stanek said. If the covering is altered or used for anything other than its intended purpose, it will be taken away.

The new policy also includes booking photos. In Hennepin County, a female inmate wearing a hijab will be allowed to keep it on, but push it back off her face for the photo. In Ramsey County, a nonpublic photo without the covering will be taken for police use and another photo with the covering will be available for public use.

The policy’s genesis

The new policy, which adheres to the constitutional and federal requirements of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, followed discussions with CAIR and experts on religion and corrections, Stanek said. His office also reviewed similar policies in California and Illinois.

Before the new policy, the Sheriff’s Office considered head covering requests from inmates case-by-case. The jail currently accommodates inmates with specific religious needs such as adhering to dietary requirements, providing religious literature and organizing religious leaders from a variety of faiths who volunteer in the jail.

Each year, more than 38,000 people are booked into Hennepin County jail and 20,000 into the Ramsey County facility. Inmates usually are struggling with a variety of issues when they land in jail, and not being able to wear a head covering can add to their problems, Weli said.

Weli has seen a jail-issued hijab, which is dark brown and made with a stretchy material. She said she was pleased with it, and that it compared well to one she might buy at a local Somali shopping mall.

Lori Saroya, executive director of CAIR, agreed, then joked she was glad they weren’t the bright orange color typically associated with jail attire.

An influential letter

Saroya said her office has heard complaints of insensitivity over head coverings at jails throughout the state.

Four Somali Muslims In San Diego Convicted of Supporting Terrorist Activities

Why don't I just bluntly state the obvious - the immigration (or forceful insertion) of Somali Muslims to America has been like a blight upon an entire crop.  Our country is filled with violence, strife, and now an example of direct Islamic terrorism by Muslims who have come here from Somali.

My question is this - at what point is one of our leaders or officials going to finally stand up and simply state that the people of Somalia simply are not qualified to be in America, are not representative of the proper candidates for citizenship in this country?

A jury in San Diego has convicted for Somali Muslims of supporting terror activities and one of those four includes the damn Imam in the area.  Well, get used to it...there's more to come.

The story comes from Fox News via The Religion of Peace.

US jury in San Diego convicts 4 Somali men of terrorist support

A federal jury in San Diego has convicted four Somali immigrants -- including an imam from a local mosque -- of conspiring to funnel money to a terrorist group in their home country.

After a three-week trial and three days of deliberations, the jury convicted the four men Friday of conspiring to raise and send money to Somalia's al-Shabaab (AHL-shuh-BAHB').

The U.S. State Department designated al-Shabaab a terrorist group in 2008, and federal prosecutors have since cracked down on the group's U.S. support with the arrests of some two dozen people, mostly in Minnesota.

Those convicted include 40-year-old Mohamed Mohamud, an imam at a San Diego mosque, along with two taxi drivers and a man who operated a financial business that was used to move the money.

Sentencing is scheduled for May.

Somali Muslim Workers Walk Out On Job At Minnesota Food Plant Over Skirt Length Dress Code

Countdown to lawsuit filing by CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) in 3...2...1.

Thirty Somali Muslim workers at a food processing facility walked out on their jobs yesterday when the company initiated a new dress code where the skirts of the women workers had to be rolled up due to safety concerns.

From the report at My Fox Twin Cities:

More than 30 Somali employees walked out in protest of dress code changes at a privately-owned business in Le Center, Minn.

The former employees of Dianne's Fine Desserts claim a new uniform policy was instituted to force them off the job because of their Islamic beliefs.

The owner of the bakery, Mike Knowles, told the Faribault Daily News a woman's long dress recently got caught in a boot washer and the new guidelines were instated over safety concerns.

Knowles, who bought the business just 11 days before the accident, said the company leaders went out of their way to try to work with the Somali Community. Originally, they had recommended knee-high skirts but later agreed to boot-high or mid-calf skirts before making the policy public at a meeting on Friday.

On Monday, many devout women reported back to work in their full-length attire, saying the new dress code conflicts with their religious beliefs. They were then given the option adjust their skirt lengths or leave.

Eleven women walked out and were joined by about 20 Somali men.

The workers have asked the Council on American-Islamic Relations to intercede, and CAIR has previously helped 25 Muslim employees who were terminated in December 2010.

So, a Somali Muslim female worker is involved in an accident because her floor length dress gets caught in a boot washer...the owner of the food processing company probably faces a steep OSHA fine for the accident and higher insurance premiums, so they institute a new safety dress code so the accident can be avoided - but hell no, that isn't acceptable because Mohammed couldn't bear to have a woman's ankle exposed.

Welcome to assimilation to America.

New skirt length policy prompts Muslim walk-out at Minn. business


LE CENTER, Minn. (KMSP) -

More than 30 Somali employees walked out in protest of dress code changes at a privately-owned business in Le Center, Minn.

The former employees of Dianne's Fine Desserts claim a new uniform policy was instituted to force them off the job because of their Islamic beliefs.

The owner of the bakery, Mike Knowles, told the Faribault Daily News a woman's long dress recently got caught in a boot washer and the new guidelines were instated over safety concerns.

Knowles, who bought the business just 11 days before the accident, said the company leaders went out of their way to try to work with the Somali Community. Originally, they had recommended knee-high skirts but later agreed to boot-high or mid-calf skirts before making the policy public at a meeting on Friday.

On Monday, many devout women reported back to work in their full-length attire, saying the new dress code conflicts with their religious beliefs. They were then given the option adjust their skirt lengths or leave.

Eleven women walked out and were joined by about 20 Somali men.

The workers have asked the Council on American-Islamic Relations to intercede, and CAIR has previously helped 25 Muslim employees who were terminated in December 2010.

At the time, the business was called Dianne's Gourmet Desserts and was under a different owner who fired the employees after the break schedule was altered into conflict with employees' prayer schedule, but employees prayed anyway. A complaint was forwarded to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the workers were reinstated.

The walk-off has also been brought to the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union.
