So when do they blow up the Mormon Temple and put their mosque in its place? They already had a terrorist shoot up Trolley Square a few years ago.

They just built a huge mosque up here in Bangor..
I’ll bet the Catholic churches are next.

A little off topic...
A friend of mine just got a job as a medical assistant in a physicians office.
Here in Maine, we have had an influx of Somalians..
Their office co-pay on the state dole, 3 bucks.
(and a translator for free to them)

My co-pay with insurance that I pay for..30 bucks.
My opinion?
No translation needed.

How ironic. It was a Nissan Pathfinder that was used in the NYC bomb scare. Must be partial. Have they given up Mercedes?

Oh, how convenient. Build a madrassah and use the nearby Rockies as al-Qaeda training grounds.

Just what this country needs, thousands of Somalia goat herders on the Dole.As if we don’t have enough homegrown layabouts already. We better get a handle on this immigration nonsense or we are truly doomed.

When they decide they'd like the Mormon Prophet to get a sudden revelation that all Muslims need to be run out of Utah or killed. Mormon Prophets are prone to having very practical revelations . . .
