Hopefully, this won't get too heated.
I know this is a hot topic and that when I tell you that I am skeptical of refugees, you will call me a xenophobic racist. I'm not. I'm just really on the fence about this issue right now. St. Cloud is a hub for Somali refugees and I have been supportive of this community. Minneapolis is also another area where Somali refugees settled. I have welcomed these people into the community and initially I thought that we did the right thing by accepting them into our country. Problem? Their culture is not compatible with ours. The men view women and second class citizens. They refuse medical care for their wives and the ethics board at the hospital has had to get involved on multiple occasions. Recently, it has come to the attention of the authorities that many of the young, Somali Men have made attempts to leave the country to fight for ISIS. An investigative report of the Somali community hear revealed that they do not agree with American Law and want only Sharia Law implemented. The women believe that the fathers should choose the husband's for their daughters and that they should marry at 15. They all live off of government assistance.
If I moved to Germany, it would be expected that I follow German Law ... and if I left the country to fight for ISIS, I would be deported... and Sharia Law? Go home then.
