A dog is a dhimmi’s best friend, a Muslim a dhimmmi’s worst enemy. How many times do Americans have to be told that…once a week…every day…constantly? They don’t seem to get it. Nor are dogs high on Islam’s list of beloved animals. Pooches are 6th on Islam’s list of unclean things—two notches below non-Muslims. How many times do Americans have to be told that? Should it be more than once a day? How forgetful, the Americans.

Muslims are forbidden to touch dogs. It is dog germs? No, it is something Mohammed said. So a word of advice to Timmy and Lassie—when the raging flood waters sweep little Mohammed down the Red to certain death at the falls, save your breath, your efforts will not be appreciated and if you are successful you will be cursed for all eternity and suffer a painful doom.

Minnesotans were put on notice that their mutts were verboten to Muslims when Somali cab drivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport refused to service customers escorted by seeing-eye dogs. “You can come aboard, mate, but the mutt stays behind.” Egregious? Stupid? “What wonderful cultural diversity!” says Debbie Dhimwitt Democrat. This doesn’t mean Mohammed the cabbie shies away from soaking his tired ‘dogs’ in footbaths provided by Minnesota’s dhimmi taxpayers. Minnesotans are well aware of these problems—they just don’t like to talk about them.

So far no Muslim cab driver has threatened to kill a seeing-eye dog. That was not the case recently at a high school in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where Tyler Hurd, 23, was student teaching. Tyler is disabled. Because of a childhood injury that left him subject to seizures, he has need of what is called a service dog. The pooch, Emmitt, a black lab, had been trained to protect Hurd during seizures. The scene: Technical High School, St. Cloud. A Somali student threatened to kill the dog. Now a black lab is a fairly good-sized animal. It might not measure up to Yukon King or Cujo in ferocity but it’s bigger than a rat terrier and given a bit of ‘police dog’ training and some pit bull DGH (Dog Growth Hormones) it would make a dog lover’s heart swell with pride to see it turned loose on that creepy excuse of a high school student. “Sorry, kid, your disaster insurance doesn’t cover dog gnawing.”

And it wasn’t just one lam-brained Qur’an-nourished lout. He had friends—underlings, perhaps. The dog was taunted by the many and when the worst of the wretches threatened to kill poor Emmett, Tyler called it quits. He wasn’t Lash LaRue or Rooster Cogburn; he was Tyler Hurd, a student teacher with a service dog.

No one should be treated the way Tyler was treated and there are people in the United States that would have thrashed the Somali punk to within the last page of his Qur’an if he had threatened their pooch the way he had Tyler’s.

Well, enough is enough. Minnesota has a Somali Muslim problem…a big Somali Muslim problem…bigger than big…a cultural cancer is eating at Paul Bunyan’s stomach. A small but growing minority, resistant to assimilation, has been throwing its weight around the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, polluting one after another. Ten times the number of Hispanic immigrants would cause less fuss—more crime perhaps, but they don’t threaten Whitey’s dogs or cover their women with burlap. How many times do Minnesotans have to be told this?

Lori Lockhart, assistant principal at Tech, and Kate Steffens, head of education at St. Cloud State, are confident cultural differences can be overcome. A meeting has been set up to avoid further problems at Technical High. “I think it was a misunderstanding where we didn’t really prepare either side for possible implications,” said Julie Espe, curriculum director for public schools. “We certainly welcome (Hurd) in our district, and we hope we can get this all resolved so he feels welcome and his dog is welcome.”

Lori…Kate…Julia…maybe if their names were Cump and Mad Dog and Bruno it wouldn’t smell so much like Munich, and Tyler and poor Emmitt would have a chance. But to negotiate on bended knee with hat in hand, armed with no more than a ridiculous belief in cultural diversity with a group determined to put an end to the way Laverne and Shirley and Potsie and Ralph Malph have been doing things for three-and-a-half centuries is more like Neville Chamberlain at Munch than Harry Truman meeting with Molotov.

If there was anything unclean at Technical High is was the creeps that tormented poor Emmitt. A thorough delousing should come before any serious talks. But instead of a chewing out, the young thugs got a mea culpa. “I’m sorry, I failed to observe your sacred customs, please give me another chance; I promise to do better.” Instead of a kick in the butt they got a gutless apology. One should never apologize when one is right—that is what cowards do. At least they could have said, “You will hear from the SPCA.”

Minnesota’s slide toward dhimmitude continues unabated: Muslim cab drivers refusing service to customers accompanied by seeing-eye dogs; Muslim cab drivers refusing service to customers carrying alcohol; six Imams ostentatiously praying at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport; the same six Imams, some of them with ties to terrorist organizations, behaving outrageously and frightening passengers on US Airways Flight 300 out of the same airport; school officials in St. Paul revamping art curriculums to appease Islamic notions of what is art (A Muslim second-grader said, “God…doesn’t like people to draw a lot.” If God didn’t like people to draw a lot He wouldn’t have invented crayons); Muslim clerks refusing to handle George H. W. Bush’s favorite food (pork rinds) at the checkout counter; the removal of the Easter Bunny at St. Paul’s City Hall for fear it would offend non-Christians. (Which non-Christians? Buddhists? Zoroastrians? Dukhobors?)

What is happening in Minnesota? Where is William Colville? Has the First Minnesota been forever disbanded? Babe the Blue Ox would not recognize the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes.

“We came up with a solution,” said Hurd, “because I felt threatened by it.”

Everyday there is another surrender. What would Hubert Humphrey have done? The chances are—nothing. Liberal Democrats have played a major role in Minnesota’s decline. It is not in their nature to stand up to their enemies—only to their friends. Every Minnesotan should know—or ought to know—what happened in Minnesota in 1862 when the Dakotas took advantage of the Civil War to go on the warpath. There were fewer cultural differences between the adversaries in the 1860s than there are now—both sides loved freedom. Islam is the opposite of freedom.

Minnesota is facing its gravest crisis since the siege of New Ulm and it is losing. Shame on the leaders of the Democratic Party…shame on the school officials…shame of the journalists and newscasters…shame on all those that do not stand up for freedom. But what can one expect from a state that would elect Keith Ellison to Congress? Not much!
