U.S. Federal Government Program: Pay Minnesota Muslims Not To Kill People?. | The Last Refuge

It's no different than giving the school bully your lunch money so he won't beat you up.







And then he does it anyway!

I assume once we bring thousands of angry young male Syrians over, we will put them on some programs like this as well.

 

[Birds Away]

We are completely lost.

Is this baksheesh or jizya? I need a ruling.

I would have to go with jizya as it seems closer. I guess that makes those paying it, dhimmis...

Hey can I get paid not to blow myself up? Not that I would, but hey if these idiots are giving out money why not? My guess is they are probably on welfare, ebt etc as well.

I call BS to the article. No where can I find where payments are made to individuals in this program. I also have very little trust in the veracity of an author of a supposed news article that uses a pseudonym and not his/her real name.

Classic federal grant, money will go to a self serving self perpetuating group of individuals, who know how to work the system. Reduce violence? Who cares, that's not the objective, just line up the next grant.

I have got to say...Indiucky is not my given name.....

I dropped out when that stupid video began playing on its own. If we're going to pay them anything, it ought to be a one way ticket back home if they screw up.

I wish I could get paid for not killing people. Think of how much money that could be made just driving to work every day in rush hour traffic...

Sheesh, you guys are so negative. It's the Five Purdahs Coalition, stop being so cynical...I hear they do some good work.

In some slavic languages "purdah" is slang for fart....
Back to the thread at hand.......

From the article

“Many kids don’t know where they belong – Isis, al-Shabaab or a gang. They join all that is available to them,” she said.

How about a job? Am I missing something here?
