U.S. Federal Government Program: Pay Minnesota Muslims Not To Kill People….
Conservative Treehouse ^ | Sept 15 2015 | Sundance

Posted on 09/15/2015 6:03:18 AM PDT by Whenifhow

If you thought Secretary Kerry’s 2013 “Jobs for Jihadists” program was goofy, wait until you read about this one.

The U.S. federal government is announcing a new program called CVE (Counter Violent Extremism) in Minneapolis Minnesota. Under the U.S. program, authorized by President Obama, Somali Muslims living in Minnesota will be paid not to go on terror rampages. or blow themselves up.

…”Led by a taskforce of 15 Somali Americans and a traditional community grant-making organization, the Counter Violent Extremism (CVE) program is the brainchild of the chief federal prosecutor for Minnesota, Andrew Luger. […] The goal is to prevent youth recruitment by overseas extremist groups such as Isis or al-Shabaab”….

Any individual found engaged in an act of violent jihad will have their monthly payment stopped, and all federal income subsides removed. They’re calling it “crime prevention“, so there’s always that….

(VIA GUARDIAN) Hibaaq Osman has a glow that changes the energy in a room, or in her case, the energy of the restaurant her family owns in Karmel mall, the oldest Somali mall in Minneapolis. The cafe is right near the mosque on the top floor of the building, past rows of entrepreneurs selling wares in individual stalls, sipping hot drinks in small cups and chatting in Somali.

Osman retains her glow, even in anger. And after a press conference held outside the mosque, she is upset.

“I feel like we as a community need to wake up,” she said. “We need to wake up and say, ‘You know what? Enough is enough.’ We are citizens, we are taxpayers, we own businesses, we need people to understand that we also are part of this country just the way anybody else is.” […]

Opponents of the CVE program point out that these 40 individuals make up less than 0.3% of Minnesota’s Somali population.

Already, the CVE pilot program has been re-branded with a new name, Building Community Resilience. Luger’s office says it captures the essence of his vision: to keep teens from Minnesota from traveling to the Middle East and blowing themselves up.

Luger says it will do so by providing $216,000 in federal funds – in addition to other local and private support – which will be disbursed to community groups through a grant-making organization. The social services supported by the funding serve as crime prevention, he contends.

But a statement issued from a coalition protesting the program asserted: “The Minnesota Muslim community is united over its growing concerns of the CVE pilot program, which so far has only alienated the very communities it was seeking to influence. While attempting to derail the communities’ own initiative to enhance its ability to build community resilience.” (read more)

How about dumping them into Syria—and being rid of them?

Why don’t we just kill them before they kill us? More cost effective.

What a simple, elegant, solution. Government will never go for it.

Just a different version of the Democrats’ “midnight basketball” solution to crime.

Pay Minnesota Muslims Not To Kill People….

This is how they deal with the problem throughout Asia. Make payments and pretend it's not happening. Business as usual.

Just pull EBT and related funds, and we’ll find out that the purpose of those payments is also to refrain from violence. Stop the payments, violence starts.

And then the MSM is surprised when people think we actually have a Muslim POTUS

“Intelligence analysts are at a loss to explain this new infusion of sophisticated weapons by the Al-Shabaab terrorist group.”

the funding serve as crime prevention, he contends.

And when it fails, they'll tell us it's because they didn't spend enough, and they need more money.
