But back to our Somalis.

I oppose Somali immigrants coming to this country because they are too under-educated to assimilate into our country. According to Doctors Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen (6), Somalis have one of the lowest average IQs in the world - 64. Why this is so can be attributed to many things: low per capita income, low literacy rate, low life expectancy, low Index of Democratization, etc. But I'm not here to discuss why they are so, but rather to argue that their intelligence level is so low compared to their American neighbors that the culture clash makes it impossible for them to integrate into American society.

Our government brings these people in with only a few days of orientation. They barely speak English, have no skills, are unfamiliar with American culture, do not have our work ethic, and did not come here to work. Now if education was the only problem, then perhaps if our government put them into schools for a few years to teach them our language, give them some job skills, and instill in them an appreciation of our culture, then perhaps they might have a shot at integrating into society.

However.... They are also Muslim (which also accounts for their low IQ, see Muslim IQ). And from a country where Islam is the state religion. And 99.99% Muslim. So even if they're brain surgeons, it is unlikely they have ever come in contact with a non-Muslim except for a few infidel or Bantu slaves (yes slavery still exists in Muslim countries).

One should not forget that it was Somali Muslims who mutilated and dragged the bodies of American soldiers through the streets of Mogadishu. If a Somali Muslim could be truthful they would admit that they hold strong anti-American sentiments.

UK Telegraph, 13 Mar 2009, US facing home-grown Islamic terror threat

The United States is facing what has been described as its "most serious instance of domestic terrorism" to date, the FBI has warned.

Officials say a second generation of Somali immigrants is becoming increasingly radicalised and could pose a growing threat to security.

The warnings come amid the revelation that 20 young Somali American men who returned to their war-torn homeland have been radicalised by a group linked to al-Qaeda.

The FBI is urgently examining links between the youths, who are all American citizens, and al-Shabaab, an Islamist group fighting in the country's long-running conflict.

Investigators are concentrating on two mosques, the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Centre in Minneapolis and the Dawah Institute in the neighbouring city of St Paul, where parents and guardians of the departed youths said their sons attended classes.

But the probe has now spread to Boston, San Diego, Seattle, Columbus, Ohio and Portland, Maine.

US law enforcement agencies are concerned young militants could return to the US to plot terror attacks, following a similar path to the British Pakistanis behind the London bombings in July 7, 2005 who made multiple visits to radical mosques in Pakistan.

The authorities began looking into the radicalisation of Somali youths after 27-year-old Shirwa Ahmed became the first known American suicide bomber in late October.

Our government might as well simply attach time bombs to them when they plant them into unsuspecting towns. See Somali Muslims Changing Small Town - CBN.com video:

Related: I have previously reported on problems American employers experience when hiring Somalis here and here. They refuse to do it our way and insist on American manufacturers accommodating them.

Canada has its problems with them as well:

Refugee Resettlement Watch, Canada faces Somali assimilation problems, gang violence

Perhaps one of the most spectacular Canadian uses of the welfare system to fund other peoples’ wars came as a result of the Somali civil conflict of the early 1990s.

Canada soon became a destination of choice for Somalis fleeing the country, and Canadian immigration officers and social workers in the Toronto area were often to find that many of them had a precise knowledge of all their entitlements before they landed in Canada.

Moreover, at that time, the Province of Ontario (then under an NDP government) was operating with a very relaxed attitude towards new claims, accepting most of them at face value.

It soon turned out that many Somalis soon started making multiple claims, usually by traveling into the United States and then turning around and making a new refugee claim under an assumed name on re-entering Canada.

However, few of these multiple claims were for personal benefit, as money from social welfare payments was diverted to Africa to buy arms and supplies for clan militias back in Somalia.

To compound matters, the favored wife of the most notorious Somali warlord, Mohammed Farah Aideed (who was already working with al Qaeda in 1993), was living in London, Ontario with four children. When challenged on this, she predictably accused the Canadian reporters who were trying to interview her of being racist.

And in Europe:

Afrik.com : Africa news, Maghreb news, 18 Sep 2008, A dark day in Athens : Somalis and Sudanese nourish Greek racism

It was a bloody afternoon as machetes, axes and cutlasses swung from every corner leaving pieces of flesh and puddles of blood on the streets of Omonia in Athens Greece. The Sudanese and Somalians shocked the greek community to their very bones as they killed each other with reckless crudity. It was a scene that could have easily beffited the 3rd Century when barbarism was at its peak.

The Somalians and Sudanese in Greece are notorious for their drug dealings and Omonia is where they base.

The Religion of Islam, The Basics of the Political System in Islam (part 1 of 2): Islam a Total Way of Life

The West makes a natural mistake in their understanding of Islamic tradition, assuming that religion means the same for Muslims as it has meant for most other religious adherents ever since the industrial revolution, and for some societies, even before that; that is: a section of life reserved for certain matters, and separate from other sections of life. This is not the Islamic world view. It never has been in the past, and modern attempts of making it so are seen as an aberration.

Islam is a “total way of life.” It has provided guidance in every sphere of life, from individual cleanliness, rules of trade, to the structure and politics of the society. Islam can never be separated from social, political, or economic life...
