Somali launches terror attack in Ohio.

[Down1]

Although they don't want to use the "T" word yet.

A Somali man charged into a Columbus, Ohio, restaurant on Thursday evening and immediately began attacking innocent patrons with a machete, according to reports.

“Four people were injured in the brutal attack Thursday evening at Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, a Mediterranean restaurant in Columbus. The victims were taken to an area hospital and were expected to recover,” CBS reports.

“Police identified the suspected attacker as Mohamed Barry, 30 … [CBS News homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues] reports the suspected attacker has a Somali background, and officials believe he may have traveled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in 2012.”

The Columbus Dispatch reports that “The owner of the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli said he believes his business was targeted because of his Israeli descent.”

Columbus and the larger central Ohio area is home to the second largest Somali population in the country.

Columbus has the second-largest Somali community in the country, with more than 45,000 people.

Omar says there are thousands of Columbus businesses run by Somalis—including Banadir, there are six Somali-focused malls in the city.

In the largest case of its kind on U.S. soil, the FBI swept up 10 young men from the Twin Cities’ tight-knit Somali American community and accused them of conspiring to join the Islamic State and commit murder on its behalf. One man made it to Syria and has been charged in absentia.

Six, including Farah’s second-oldest son, Adnan, 20, took plea deals and are awaiting sentencing. Three pleaded not guilty. Those include Mohamed, 22, Farah’s eldest son.

Now Mohamed faces the prospect of life in prison.

The Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., is home to the nation’s largest community of Somali immigrants.

At a recent soccer tournament, parents conferred in Somali on the sidelines, while referees and coaches shouted in Somali to the players. Minnesota has Somali TV channels and a new Somali radio station.

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) A small protest that was advertised as a "peaceful demonstration" by a local Somali activist group turned into a confrontation outside the Valley News Live studios on Sunday.

Protestors confronted a Valley News Live photographer as she attempted to shoot video of the event.

Fargo Police removed the protestors from the KVLY property.

Moorhead Mayor Del Rae Williams and Fargo's Deputy Mayor Mike Williams also showed up for the event. Both support refugee resettlement in the area.

The group demonstrated because they said they were upset over reporter Bradford Arick's story on the risk of latent tuberculosis in local refugee communities.

Our story presented data and facts from the CDC, State of Minnesota and State of North Dakota on the numbers of latent TB cases in the refugee population.

The State of Minnesota says 22% of refugees in that state carry latent TB while only active TB cases bars someone from entering the country.

The Fargo Forum newspaper criticized Valley News Live's reporting as blatantly false. Forum Communications owns our competitors WDAY and WDAZ.

The newspaper also interviewed Cass County Health Department's Dr. John Baird.

Baird told the forum that TB is quote "not a major problem" in the area but later admitted that Cass County Health is treating active TB cases in the community.

Over the weekend nationally renowned Doctor Jane Orient, who is the Executive Director of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, blasted local and federal health officials for policies that allow refugees with latent TB infections to be admitted to the U.S.

"Admitting people who might cause an epidemic makes no sense whatsoever from a public health standpoint," Dr. Orient is quoted on breitbart.com.

She went on to say, "Officials who place politics above the health of Americans need to be held accountable and removed from positions of authority."

Valley News Live stands by the story and we plan to continue looking into the issues surrounding refugee resettlement in North Dakota and Minnesota

The risk of a TB-epidemic by these shitskin idiots are extremely minute vs the risk of them outbreeding the host and destroying the society the host built. Sure when the society is becoming like Mogadishu, you'll have TB epidemics, but before that you'll run a much greater risk due to their racial characteristics!

http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/06/scores_on_ohios_high_school_math_tests_much_lower_ than_expected_sparking_debate_over_graduation_requ irements.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scores on two of Ohio's new high school math tests from this spring have come in so much lower than expected that the state school board will likely adjust how they affect graduation requirements later this month.

The adjustments won't be enough for board member A.J. Wagner, who is raising alarms that many students will still be at risk of not being able to graduate.

Preliminary test scores on Ohio's new Geometry and Integrated Math II exams from the American Institutes of Research show that the tests were such a mismatch with student ability that fewer than one out of every four students that took them met state benchmarks.

The state had predicted that 59 percent of high schoolers would score as "Proficient" or above on the Geometry exam, but only 24 percent did.

Similarly, 56 percent were projected to score as "Proficient" or above on the Integrated Math II exam and only 21 percent did.

Calling the lower results "outliers" that need attention, the Ohio Department of Education is asking the state school board to adjust the scores that students need to earn to fall into Ohio's five ratings categories – Limited, Basic, Proficient, Accelerated and Advanced.

The proposal would increase the percentage of students placed in the higher rating categories on the two tests, so that 52 percent of students would be rated Proficient or above on the Geometry test and 35 percent Proficient or above on Integrated Math II.

"We're changing the cut score on these two tests to bring them in line with the others," said school board President Tom Gunlock. "We had to make the adjustments based on results."

The board will vote on the change at its next meeting June 13 and 14.

See below for the scores the state projected in January for all new math and English tests, as well as more detail on how the proposed change will affect how many kids fall into each rating category.

The preliminary scores and proposed changes drew immediate complaints from board member Wagner, a Dayton Democrat, who has worried for months that passage rates on these new tests could cripple chances for some students to graduate.

Ohio has a few paths students can take to qualify for graduation, but the main pathway calls for them to earn "points" toward graduation based on their ratings on state tests – one point if Limited, two for Basic, three for Proficient, four for Accelerated and five for Advanced.

High school students need 18 points to graduate. With seven math, English and social studies tests required, they have the opportunity to earn as many as 35. That means that students don't have to score as proficient on every test to graduate.

These new rules took effect for freshmen starting high school in 2014-15.

But Wagner says that system is unfair. If only 52 percent count as Proficient and earn three points, almost half of students will earn two or less, placing them behind schedule to graduate.

Setting scores so that only 35 percent are proficient or above, as proposed for Integrated Math II, will have two thirds of students behind schedule, Wagner said.

"We are headed for a train wreck!" Wagner wrote on his Facebook page. "These scores and the arbitrary standards being set for rigor put as many as two-thirds of our students in jeopardy for graduation! That'll show the world how tough we are! That'll motivate them to try harder as we keep moving the bar!"

Wagner disagrees with Gunlock and ODE officials over whether the proposed adjustments make graduation easier for students or harder. Wagner says the proposed targets are still harder than what the board expected from projections in January, while Gunlock and ODE note that the adjustments make the targets easier than if they made no change now.

Wagner said that setting tough requirements on the tests will especially hurt poor and urban areas.

"This is class warfare," Wagner said. "These guys are setting us up so only the rich are gong to make it through high school now."

They want to tie the community of Linden, where infant mortality is soaring, to the adjacent job-center of Easton using autonomous vehicles. They will develop a smart card and app that would cover bus fares and ride- and car-sharing services and could be used by people without access to credit.

http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/muslim-refugees-threaten-minnesota-community-with-rape/

A mob of up to 30 young Somali men paraded through one of Minneapolis’ more upscale neighborhoods last week, yelling disparaging comments and threats against homeowners.

A female resident of the neighborhood, obviously shaken in a TV interview, related how she was screamed at by a Somali man who threatened to kidnap and rape her.

“They were screaming at the house that they were going to kidnap you and they were going to rape you,” one Minneapolis resident told KSTP TV. “It was a very traumatizing experience.”

Somalis living in Minneapolis are almost all Sunni Muslims, and residents of the Lake Calhoun area say this isn’t the first time a group of Somali men has made an intimidating march through their neighborhood, which is filled with million-dollar homes.

No hate-crime charges are apparently being considered by either the Minnesota authorities or the Obama Justice Department headed by Loretta Lynch.

Police were called to the scene on June 28 about 9:30 a.m. and are investigating the incident as a potential case of terroristic threats. No arrests have been made, and the Minneapolis media appear to be largely uninterested in reporting on the mob threats.

According to a Minneapolis police report, between 20 and 30 young Somali men showed up in front of a woman’s house about 9:30 in the morning and started shouting insults. “The comments turned to threats,” the report said.

Watch local TV report of horrific threats made by a mob of young Somali men in Minneapolis:

Nearly all Somalis living in Minnesota are either refugees or children of refugees. They form a burgeoning Muslim enclave created by the U.S. government’s long-term refugee policy.

The U.S. State Department, working with the United Nations, has permanently resettled more than 132,000 Somali ”refugees” into dozens of American cities since 1983, according to federal data collected by the State Department.

Get “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad,” by former DHS officer Philip Haney and WND Editor Art Moore, now at the WND Superstore!

Over the last decade, the feds have resettled an average of 7,000 Somali refugees per year into the U.S., with Minneapolis-St. Paul receiving the largest number, followed by Columbus, Ohio, San Diego, Seattle and Atlanta. Maine, Texas, North Dakota, Tennessee and even Alaska have also received dozens if not hundreds of Somali refugees.

The most shocking part of the incident may be the Minneapolis media’s coverage of the incident – or lack thereof.

A check of the Star-Tribune website, Minneapolis’s largest newspaper, did not turn up a single story about the June 28 terror-threatening run through the Lake Calhoun neighborhood.

KSTP Channel 5, an ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, never mentions that those making the alleged terroristic threats were Somalis. The station’s video report by Brett Hoffland, however, zooms in on a police report highlighting that the suspects were “approximately 20-30 Somali males” who were making “comments” that turned to “threats.”

“Multiple young men have been harassing them,” Hoffland reported.

“We couldn’t get them out,” a woman tells Hoffland from behind shadows, her voice digitally altered to protect her identity. “We didn’t know what to do.”

When the shouts of “We’re going to rape you” rang out, “it was just a very traumatizing experience,” the woman said.

The Somalis were driving onto the sidewalk and onto the homeowners’ lawns, “all while shooting off bottle rockets and screaming” their threats, she said.

“It’s a scary thought especially for those who have young children.”

Multiple neighbors took cell-phone videos of the roaming gang of young Somali men.

It’s not the first time they’ve showed up, but on June 28 the threats were “much more personal,” the female resident told KSTP.

The Minneapolis Police Department told KSTP it has opened an active investigation, and police were taking it “very seriously.”

Minneapolis mayor submits to ‘Little Mogadishu’

The Somali refugee program has been among the most widely criticized of all refugee programs for the lack of assimilation that the Somalis have exhibited over the past 30 years. At least three-dozen Somali men from Minnesota have been charged since 2007 with trying to leave the U.S. and join overseas terrorist organizations including the Islamic State and al-Shabab. Others have been convicted of providing material support to terrorist organizations. That prompted the state’s U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger in April 2015 to admit that “Minnesota has a terror recruitment problem,” but he stopped short of saying the “S” word.

Minnesota politicians and media have for the most part toed the line of political correctness whenever crimes or terrorist activity surfaces involving Minnesota’s Somali community, say local activists.

The Cedar Riverside area of Minneapolis is often called “Little Mogadishu” for its swelling Somali community. The city’s mayor, Betsy Hodges, has in the past showed up for meetings with leaders of the local Somali community dressed in a hijab – the headscarf worn by Muslim women as a sign of their submission in a male-dominated society governed by Shariah law.

Last year, Ami Horowitz of the David Horowitz Freedom Center filmed a series of interviews on the streets of Minneapolis’s Cedar Riverside community, and the vast majority of Somalis he spoke with said they preferred Shariah law over U.S. law, WND previously reported.

Governor tells critics of multiculturalism to ‘find another state’
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton

Yet Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, has let it be known his commitment to the multicultural model, the same model followed by the European Union which is now breaking apart, is unwavering.

Last October, Dayton told those attending a town-hall meeting in St. Cloud that those Minnesotans not comfortable with the arrival of Syrian refugees and the state’s expanding Somali population “should find a new state” because Minnesota’s economy “cannot expand based on white, B+, native-born citizens. We don’t have enough.”

Comparisons to Europe

The PowerLine’s Scott Johnson posted a blog on the Lake Calhoun incident titled “Minnesota men at play,” in which he mused:

“This has become a familiar story out of Europe, but it is something new under the sun in Minneapolis. Although it is big news, I can’t find any evidence of the story in the Star Tribune (please let me know if I missed it) – another element that gives the story a European dimension.”

Congress 100% on board with Obama refugee policy

Congress squawked over President Obama’s Syrian refugee plans and said nothing about the Somali program that has been going on for 30-plus years. House Speaker Paul Ryan ended up negotiating a deal that fully funded all of Obama’s refugee plans, including those from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, Uzbekistan, Burma and other jihadist hotspots.

Refugee watchdog Ann Corcoran said the vast majority of Americans have no clue what is going on with refugees until they start arriving in their communities. And even then, the quality of local news reporting is often focused on flowery feature stories about refugees getting a new start after escaping war in their homeland. The underlying costs, in terms of the tax burden and risks to public safety, never make into local news reports.

“I guess we should be grateful that at least the broadcast version of the KSTP story used the ‘S’ word,” said Corcoran, author of the blog Refugee Resettlement Watch.

“This should be on the national news,” Corcoran wrote. “Just envision this happening in your neighborhood. How are Americans ever going to be prepared and proactive if we don’t even know what is happening in the next city, let alone the next state?”

Corcoran says it’s important to remember the Somalis didn’t just “make their way” to Minnesota. They have been permanently resettled there for three decades by the U.S. State Department and three major contractors – Catholic Charities, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service and World Relief. (Additional contractors have moved in since.)

“The ‘youths’ harassing homeowners at Lake Calhoun were born here or came as very small children,” she said.
