Things are great in Minneapolis. They’ll be even better with their new DFL endorsed mayor. Why would you think otherwise?
Alpha News however has a story of the new normal.
A Somali immigrant living in the United States has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for raping a 12-year-old girl in Minneapolis last year. After the conviction, an Islamic center in St. Paul wrote a “community support letter” for the perpetrator.
In July of 2024, Dirie was charged with raping a 12-year-old girl. According to the criminal complaint in the case, the victim said she was playing in the backyard of her family’s home in Minneapolis when a man started talking to her from an alley behind the house. The man reportedly asked if the victim’s mother was home, and the victim said she was not.
Court documents say the man left the scene for a few minutes but returned, putting his hand over her mouth, forcing her into a car, and striking her over the head. The victim said the man drove a short distance away from the home, pulled over, and sexually assaulted her. Eventually, the victim was able to run home.
The Al-Ihsan Islamic Center sent a letter which read, “we, the undersigned members of the Somali community, write this letter to express our strong and heartfelt support for Qalinle Dirie, a member of our community” and claimed that the rapist was “an active volunteer in our mosque, Al-Ihsan Islamic Center, where he regularly visited during Friday prayers, Ramadan” and had “faced “the challenge of starting over in a new culture.”
The Al-Ihsan Islamic Center was one of the mosques that signed on to an invitation the ‘swearing in’ ceremony of Omar, declaring “Alhumdulilah, this is an historic moment for our community as we elect Representative Ilhan as our Muslim sister.”
The mosque was also mentioned in a story about more people converting to Islam after the Muslim massacres of Oct 7.
It’s part of the Islamic Association of North America umbrella group.
Under Sharia law, a 12-year-old girl is considered more than old enough for intercourse and if she was a non-Muslim, considered fair game for any Muslim man. So by Islamic standard, the rapist did nothing wrong.
The mention of adapting to American culture has been a common defense for Muslim sexual assaults on non-Muslims.
A man who raped a 15-year-old girl after following her on a street in Stirlingshire has been jailed for nine years.
Nikzad, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, repeatedly requested her telephone number, uttered sexual remarks then led her into a courtyard where he raped her.
Defence counsel Janice Green told the court there were language difficulties and a “cultural barrier” between Nikzad’s home country where child marriage was common.
She said: “I’m not suggesting that means that he reasonably believed (the complainer) was consenting, but that there’s a reason why he could have misunderstood.”
What he misunderstood was that consent was irrelevant.
This quote came out of the report on Muslim sex grooming gangs.
“There was an educational issue. Asian males didn’t understand that it was wrong, and the girls were not quite there. They were difficult groups to deal with. We can’t enforce our way out of the problem,” Constable B said.
Now Minneapolis and New York City are moving to mayors who will be very understanding about not enforcing their way out of the problem.
