LEWISTON MAYOR IS RIGHT: SOMALI MUSLIMS SHOULD LEAVE THAT RELIGIOUS CULTURE "AT THE DOOR"

But for now, they won't, and along with the pro-Islamic staff at the AP, can only think to attack him:

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Ten years after a Lewiston mayor set off a firestorm by saying the city's Somali population was growing too fast, a new mayor's remarks about the immigrant community is sparking another wave of anger and calls for his resignation.

Somali immigrants and their supporters in this former mill city in central Maine say Mayor Robert Macdonald should apologize and step down for what they call repeated anti-immigrant remarks, including telling a British Broadcasting Corp. interviewer that immigrants should "accept our culture and leave your culture at the door."

A group of about 50 protesters rallied outside City Hall on Thursday before delivering 1,400 petitions to Macdonald's office, asking for his resignation.

The mayor's remarks sounded like he was telling immigrants to abandon their religion, their language and their identities, said Nimo Yonis, 26, one of an about 6,000 Somali refugees who live in Lewiston and the neighboring city of Auburn. The mayor's words were painful, hurtful and "represent hate," she said.

"Basically, he's telling us to forget who we were," Yonis said. "Just leaving your culture at the door is leaving what you believe, what you stand for and who you are at the door."

Macdonald has attempted to clarify his comments, saying immigrants should try to assimilate into American culture. He has said his comments were taken out of context, and has claimed he never said anything derogatory about Somalis.

I won't be surprised if the AP's taken anything he says out of context too, and the BBC would certainly be willing to do that. But he's right if he simply challenged their cultural beliefs, which is NOT the same as attacking race. And learning local language is a positive step too, both in and out of the household. If they want to adhere to the Religion of Rape, they should remain in Somalia.

He wrote in a local weekly newspaper that "submissive Somali women turn into obnoxious customers at the grocery store cash register." He also wrote that he was tired of news stories about Somalis being treated poorly; most complaints, he wrote, came from "boo-hoo white do-gooders and their carpetbagger friends."

He later told a reporter that immigrants shouldn't "insert your culture, which obviously isn't working, into ours, which does."

And that's right, I'm afraid. Being an immigrant doesn't make you a saint, and some of those immigrants have been acting like they own the place. They certainly didn't seem to get much support for that protest they had by the town hall either. The first highlighted part likely refers to the leftarded MSM which has been pushing the victimology line here.

Maine has been having a lot of problems with welfare, exactly what these Somalis want to exploit, and should try to reverse the laws allowing it.
