When young Somali immigrants aren’t pursuing jihad in the dear homeland, some of the tribe think it’s a big yuck to assault people and put it on YouTube. Several self-appointed “stars” recently mugged it up with their real names, then knocked down old people and children–the Somali Tubers were too cowardly to pick victims strong enough to fight back.

Even the normally diversity-enthralled Star Tribune reported the story with a degree of disapproval: Police on the trail of attackers shown in YouTube video.

A YouTube video of eight young men terrorizing bicyclists and pedestrians — including children and older people — in what appear to be Minneapolis and St. Paul has triggered an investigation by police in both cities.

Edited and set to music, the video shows the group of what appear to be teenagers or young men taking turns saying, “Watch this,” before knocking down victims and running away, laughing.

Somebody has put up the original Tube (HERE) that was pulled, plus a little commentary tacked on; there’s no reason to think that version won’t be pulled too. But it is available for viewing now, if you don’t mind subjecting yourself to some seriously repulsive stupid.

The good news is that the feeble-mindedness of the criminals made finding them easy for law enforcement: Police arrest 4 in videotaped assaults posted on YouTube (KARE-11 TV, Nov 19).

Also on Wednesday, one of the alleged victims came forward to report what he says happened to him.

Paul Dickinson, 71, of St. Paul said he was on his evening stroll along Grand Avenue near Avon Avenue in St. Paul when a man ran at him from behind and tackled him.

“I had no advanced warning at all, so I just fell like a stone.  I did a faceplant on the sidewalk,” Dickinson said.

Dickinson also spotted the young man running away and laughing after the attack.  It was a scene he didn’t expect to see again — until he learned of the now infamous video.  Dickinson believes his attack was one of those included in the video.

“I  think what did they do, was that on their list, they had to go tackle an old man,” he said.

Just think, we would have missed all this enriching diversity without multicultural immigration.

Islam meets soccer in France… what could possibly go wrong?

European soccer fans can get rowdy even under normal circumstances, but throw Islam plus immigrant nationalism into the mix, and the situation becomes still more incendiary, as shown in Saturday’s fracas. The port city of Marseille experienced an outbreak of serious rioting when local Algerians became miffed at their team’s poor showing in a World Cup qualifier match that took place in Cairo.

Authorities sent in more than 500 police to restore order on the streets — diversity doesn’t come cheap.

Violence in Marseille over Algeria, Egypt soccer, Reuters, November 14, 2009

Rioters smashed shop windows, hurled stones at police and set fire to several boats moored in the southern French port of Marseille after Egypt beat Algeria in a soccer World Cup qualifying match on Saturday.

A police spokesman said more than 500 officers were deployed in the centre of Marseille, an often volatile city with a large North African immigrant population and football supporters who are considered among the most passionate in France.

Egypt won the match, which was played in Cairo, 2-0.

Police said they had made eight arrests, mostly for throwing objects, while one man was arrested for setting fire to a rubbish bin.

At least six boats were damaged and two were sunk when a fire was sparked by a smoke bomb of the kind seen frequently in French football stadiums.

The Fort Hood shooter was not as assimilated to American values as the protectors of diversity would have you believe.

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused.

In response, Hoekstra issued a document preservation request to four intelligence agencies. The letter, dated November 7th, was sent to directors Dennis Blair (DNI), Robert Mueller (FBI), Lt. Gen Keith Alexander (NSA) and Leon Panetta (CIA).

Hoekstra said he is “absolutely furious” that the house intel committee has been refused an intelligence briefing by the DNI or CIA on Hasan’s attempt to reach out to al Qaeda, as first reported by ABC News.

“This is a law enforcement investigation, in which other agencies–not the CIA–have the lead,” CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in a response to ABC News. ” Any suggestion that the CIA refused to brief Congress is incorrect.” [Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda,November 9, 2009 ]

How curious that information about Hasan’s fondness for terrorism is being squelched.

Another item of jihadist evidence is the card which Hasan handed out along with Korans (reported by Atlas): It reads SoA under his name, meaning “Soldier of Allah.”

Furthermore, the feigned shock of the Army that Muslims in the American military would go jihad is belied by the list from WND noting “At least a dozen other Muslim soldiers have been convicted of terrorism or espionage since 9/11.” If the military doesn’t think there is a Muslim terrorist problem in its ranks, then it is not paying attention or is in serious denial.

• NAVY SIGNALMAN HASSAN ABUJIHAAD last year was convicted of tipping off al-Qaida to battlegroup movements in the Persian Gulf, including disclosing classified documents detailing the group’s vulnerability to terror attack

Army Didn’t Want To Appear Too “Anti-Muslim”, Hasan Had Links To Hijackers.

I wrote about this case of crime diversity in May: Diversity Is Strength! It’s Also… African “Refugee” Kidnappers In Virginia. The trial is finished and the sentences are in — 5 1/2 years for the Africans and 4 1/2 years for the American.

The plot was bizarre, carefully planned and amateurishly executed: To make money in America, three young men from refugee families set out to find a wealthy woman, abduct her from her home and hold her for ransom.

It all unraveled as soon as Audrey Levicki answered the door to her Southwest Roanoke County home.

Suspicious that the two men were not the Red Cross volunteers they claimed to be, Levicki braced the door with her foot and then slammed it shut on the arm of the one who tried to reach inside.

The two men ran off, despite months of planning and a getaway car waiting at the end of the driveway with rope, handcuffs and other tools of a kidnapping. The duo was quickly arrested along with two accomplices, setting in motion a series of unintended consequences that culminated Monday at a sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Roanoke.

Levicki, whose intended fate was to be held in a rundown camper until her captors could collect up to $1 million from her corporate executive husband, said that she is now a prisoner in her own home.

“My life went to hell on April 6,” Levicki said in a statement to Judge James Turk, recounting how the incident led to fearful days, sleepless nights and a loss of security so profound that she no longer ventures outside to feed the dog unless armed with a baseball bat.

For the three African natives who tried to kidnap Levicki — Luke Musa Elbino, 20; Mohammed Hussein Guhad, 20; and Joshua Kasongo, 19 — the consequences went beyond the five-and-a-half-year prison terms they received at the end of a daylong hearing.

Once they are released from prison, the three face almost certain deportation back to Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda — countries their families fled when they were boys to escape civil war and genocide.

And how diverse was the sentencing hearing? Very.

At times, the hearing bordered on surreal. On one side of the jam-packed courtroom, residents of an affluent suburban neighborhood sat in support of Levicki. Across the aisle — and from halfway across the world — sat the friends and families of the defendants. Many of them refugees, some were dressed in colorful native robes and headscarves.

Emotions ran high all day; court was recessed after Elbino’s sister fainted and fell from her seat in the gallery. At another point, a spectator pointed his finger skyward and chanted an African song.
[Bizarre case of abduction comes to end, Roanoke Times, November 3, 2009]

Theoretically, the wanna-be kidnappers could have gotten life in prison, but that wasn’t going to happen, given they were all young and had no priors. Five years in prison would be considered a tough sentence in some quarters, and it’s likely the strong victim statement was important in putting these dangerous characters in the slammer at all.

The do-gooders were shocked that such a crime could happen. “They went through terror themselves, so I couldn’t imagine them inflicting that on anyone else,” testified Barbara Smith, a retired refugee resettlement professional.

But experience has shown that war-traumatized children may grow into troubled, violently criminal adults. The Refugee Industrial Complex has no business dumping these human time bombs into American communities without proper oversight at the least.

One revealing statistic: An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Lost Boys suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, which can lead to substance abuse, depression and domestic violence. The thousands of Lost Boys, who were orphaned by war in Sudan, have been beloved among the professional do-gooders for their uplifting tale of success against long odds. However, the psychological disorders and crimes that erupt years later don’t get the headlines. Nobody wants to hear the criminal downside of cultural diversity, which is the real story.

See also the remarks on this case in Refugee Resettlement Watch.

This is a damning indictment of liberal values and the silly infatuation of lib pols with diversity against the common good. However, it must be said that Britain was already quite diverse by 2001. For example, that year saw intense summer riots in Bradford, Oldham and Burnley between local Britons and immigrant young men.

Of course, such behavior should have been a hint to the ruling class that multiculturalism is a failed ideology, since it runs counter to human nature.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to “open up the UK to mass migration” but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its “core working class vote”.

As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.

Critics said the revelations showed a “conspiracy” within Government to impose mass immigration for “cynical” political reasons.

Mr Neather was a speech writer who worked in Downing Street for Tony Blair and in the Home Office for Jack Straw and David Blunkett, in the early 2000s.

Writing in the Evening Standard, he revealed the “major shift” in immigration policy came after the publication of a policy paper from the Performance and Innovation Unit, a Downing Street think tank based in the Cabinet Office, in 2001. [Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser, October 23, 2009]

Here’s the article in question: Don’t listen to the whingers - London needs immigrants.

Here’s a recent diversity moment from today’s Islamified Denmark. Ouch!

Danish police said on Thursday that a Palestinian father had hit a primary school teacher and bitten his ear after he had shaken the hand of the man’s daughter.

The 47-year-old Danish teacher of Moroccan origin had invited the father and daughter for a meeting at the school in the town of Vollsmose on Wednesday when he had been “repeatedly hit and bitten in the ear”, the police said.

“The father, a Palestinian, apparently became furious that the teacher had greeted his daughter just before a meeting,” said Joergen Andersen, the police superintendent in the nearby city of Odense.

The 33-year-old father, a Muslim, said the teacher had “gone too far and offended his honour”, Andersen said.

“The man is apparently not a fundamentalist,” Andersen said. But he “could not accept this handshake between the teacher and his daughter”. [Man bites teacher for shaking daughter's hand, Agence France PresseOctober 24, 2009 ]

Well, how fortunate that the chomper was not a fundamentalist. Who knows what he might have done in that case?

Just when you think diversity can’t become any more complicated, it does. Imagine the heartbreak of Cantonese-speaking immigrants who can’t understand the newbies who converse in Mandarin. How cruel to live in Chinatown and feel isolated because you can’t speak the majority language.

Here in ultra-diverse California, there is a new approach to the skyrocketing costs of healthcare — Mexican curanderos and Hmong shamans! Unlike Blue Cross, they are willing to deal: a live chicken can get you a special healing ceremony with authentic herbs and incense.

(Shaman Wang Pao Yang is pictured here with his healing gear.)

Actually, this story concerns Hmong refugees who want things done their way: beggars can be choosers, contrary to the old saying as long as the freeloaders are designated victims of the immigrant category.

Merced is working on its diversity in medical care…

Staff at most hospitals would be baffled by an instruction like this on a bedside chart: to prepare patient for surgery, provide 15 minutes of soft chanting and tie a red string around the neck.

It’s different at Mercy Medical Center in Merced. There, nurses know they must call a shaman.

Mercy is the nation’s first hospital with a formal policy for Hmong shamans, allowing the traditional healers, working alongside doctors, to help patients recover.

Hospitals across the country are paying attention as they seek to accommodate cultural beliefs of diverse patient populations.

In the San Joaquin Valley, the Hmong are one of a few ethnic groups — including some indigenous Mexican cultures — that practice shamanism. For those with traditional beliefs, calling on a spiritual healer is as important to good health as making an appointment with a doctor. They may go without care if they can’t have a shaman nearby, sometimes with devastating consequences.[Hmong shamans help at Valley hospitals, Fresno Bee, October 11, 2009 ]

Doctors and nurses are busy and have more important things to do than call an ethnic medicine man. But what if the shaman says an animal sacrifice is required? Where will hospitals draw the line?

In Fresno in 1995, Thai Chia Moua, a Hmong shaman originally from Laos, ordered a German shepherd puppy beaten to death on his front porch while he chanted over its body. Moua later explained that he wanted the puppy’s soul to hunt down an evil spirit that was tormenting his wife. He pleaded guilty to animal cruelty. He was sentenced to probation and community service.

[Courts asked to consider culture, USA Today, May 24, 2004]

Shaman treatments are not all sweetness and light by a long shot; animal sacrifice is common. One medical research paper found Hmong in rural California were “more satisfied” when the shaman “used live animals”.

Unfortunately, this purported “kindness” to foreigners is another message that they do not need to assimilate to American values. Is stone-age primitivism the sort of diversity Americans want? Not this one.

I remember seeing this person, Dalia Mogahed, on a C-Span presser promoting a Gallup poll about Muslims residing in America, which inspired me to write a critical blog item: Muslim Poll Omits the Negative. At that time, Muslim mouthpiece Mogahed chirped out the magical D-word, “We discovered how diverse Muslim Americans are.” So meaningful.

She is also one of Obama’s many advisors, and she has used that position to spread the lie that Islam is a “religion of peace.”

Remember that the President stated in Cairo to a Muslim audience that “the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it.”

Instead of assuring Muslims that they can oppress women in America, it would have been nice for the President to stand on the side of women who don’t want to be imprisoned by their strictures of their misogynous religion. But Obama appears to prefer diversity ideology over justice.

[Barack Obama adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood, Daily Telegraph, Oct. 8, 2009]

Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President’s Council on Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, said the Western view of Sharia was “oversimplified” and the majority of women around the world associate it with “gender justice”.

The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party.

The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world.

Miss Mogahed appeared alongside Hizb ut Tahrir’s national women’s officer, Nazreen Nawaz.

During the 45-minute discussion, on the Islam Channel programme Muslimah Dilemma earlier this week, the two members of the group made repeated attacks on secular “man-made law” and the West’s “lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism”.

They called for Sharia Law to be “the source of legislation” and said that women should not be “permitted to hold a position of leadership in government”.

Miss Mogahed made no challenge to these demands and said that “promiscuity” and the “breakdown of traditional values” were what Muslims admired least about the West. [...]

Miss Mogahed admitted that even many Muslims associated Sharia with “maximum criminal punishments” and “laws that… to many people seem unequal to women,” but added: “Part of the reason that there is this perception of Sharia is because Sharia is not well understood and Islam as a faith is not well understood.”

So very offensive remarks were made by a member of an Islamic extremist group against America and the West, with no objection from the President’s advisor on Muslim affairs. [WATCH.] No wonder some people think Obama is a closet Muslim if this is the kind of person he chose as a counselor.

Of course, sharia law is not merely oppressive toward women; it is seen by jihadist Muslims as the future replacement for the Constitution and other documents of national law when Islam triumphs over western civilization. Advocating sharia could easily be seen as seditious.

Below, a woman is about to be stoned to death for adultery in Iran, according to sharia law.

America is too white, according to some diversity enthusiasts. One Obama czar takes the direct approach.

President Obama’s diversity czar at the Federal Communications Commission has spoken publicly of getting white media executives to “step down” in favor of minorities, prescribed policies to make liberal talk radio more successful, and described Hugo Chavez’s rise to power in Venezuela “an incredible revolution.”

Mark Lloyd’s provocative comments - most made during a tenure at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank - are giving fodder to critics who say Mr. Obama has appointed too many “czars” to government positions that don’t require congressional approval. They are also worrying to some conservatives who fear the FCC might use its powers to remove their competitive advantage on talk radio and television.
