And what about those who have come to the USA fleeing Islamic rule, culture and Sharia Law?
The University of Minnesota Extension's attitude?
Wafa Sultan, an immigrant from Syria worries that the oppression she had escaped is now following her to America.
Much of the advice the Extension given to newly arrived and established Somali immigrants is typical advice identical to what they distribute to English speaking Americans: Eat less sugar, exercise, tips on childcare, oral hygiene. But the Extension also informs citizens that the Koran only permits the eating of halal meat and meat should only be purchased from halal meat shops. Isn't it then easy to conclude that the shops must be Muslim owned? if not.
In the Somali language the extension recommends:
Balse, isku taxaluji in aad hilibkaaga ka soo iibsatid Xalaal Meet. Xataa hadaad dukaanka wayn cunada qaar ka soo iibsatid. (Even if you shop at large stores for some food, try to buy all meat from a Halal meat store.)
I am certain Minnesota farmers, food producers and retailers who are paying to have this advice distributed would not approve the use of their taxes to steer people away from their products or by innuendo suggest their products are inferior. I doubt few would support the use of their tax money to spread Mohammad's dictates through the Extension System.
So I would suggest to the University of Minnesota Extension stop making thiesereferences to the Koran and suggestions to people to only eat hatal meat and only buy from hatal shops or 1.) reference this advice with scientific studies or 2.) include views of other religions such as this.
Understand that many new immigrants no longer want to continue to be oppressed by Islamic law, as now propagated by the University of Minnesota.

August 15th Weekend Celebration. National Holiday?
Another holiday has come and gone but the joy remains. It is not yet celebrated by many people in the free world, yet that too is changing. August 15, 718 the Muslims were repulsed from the siege of Constantinople, thus sparing Europe from the Islamic invaders and unquestionably saving Western Culture. It is a fantastic story that all Westerners and freedom loving Muslims should delight in. In importance to our culture, few events rival this historical event. The next August 15th, take time to celebrate your freedom. Many of our holidays are a celebration of freedom. Christmas, Christ's birth, freedom from sin. Easter, Christ's resurrection, freedom from death. The 4th of July, the freedom of national independence. August 15th, the saving of Western Culture from Islamic enslavement. Enemies are planning to take these freedoms away, celebrate and cherish the freedom. As Wafa Sultan has said, this is not a clash of cultures, it is a clash between civilization and barbarianism.
Why is freedom so important? Here is what Mark Twain said: "When I, a thoughtful and unbiased Presbyterian, examined the Koran, I knew that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane, not in all things, but in religious matters.... I cannot prove to him that he is insane, because you never can prove anything to a lunatic — for that is a part of his insanity and the evidence of it." Mark Twain had as much criticism of all aspects of Western Culture and we celebrate that also. Self-criticism has never been our weakness, it is our strength. we are free to do it. As the joke goes, a man says to his middle eastern acquaintance, here in the West we can criticise our religion and our politicians as much as we like. Yes it is the same in Dar al-Islam, under Islamic law we too can criticise your religion and politicians as much as we like.
Thank God you are not forced to mechanically bow 5 times a day toward a black stone in Mecca.
Thank God you do not live by the rules of a mentally disturb narcissist.
Thank God for the spiritual freedom given through Christ and thank God for the secular freedoms passed down to us through the sacrifice of the Western patriots.
