Dave Aeikens, St. Cloud (Minnesota) Times, May 12, 2008

A St. Cloud State University student in a teacher-training program at Technical High School left the school in late April because he says he feared for the safety of his service dog.

The school district calls it a misunderstanding, and officials there say they hoped Tyler Hurd, a 23-year-old junior from Mahtomedi who aspires to teach special education, would continue his training in the district.

Hurd said a student threatened to kill his service dog named Emmitt. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has seizures.

{snip}

The threat came from a Somali student who is Muslim, according to Hurd, St. Cloud State and school district officials.

The Muslim faith, which is the dominant faith of Somali immigrants, forbids the touching of dogs.

Hurd trained at Talahi Community School and Tech. He said his experience at Talahi was good. The Somali students there warmed to the dog and eventually petted him using paper to keep their hands off his fur, Hurd said.

Things didn’t go as well at Tech, Hurd said. Students there taunted his dog, and he finally felt he had to leave after he was told a student made a threat. Hurd met with Lockhart but said he did not feel comfortable continuing.

Steffens [Kate Steffens, dean of the college of education at St. Cloud State] said it is important to respect different cultures and the rights of disabled students.

“I think this is part of the growth process when we become more diverse,” Steffens said.

The headline wouldn’t give you a clue to the story. You have to go halfway down in the article to find out that the student is being *driven out* at the hands of Somali Muslim fanatics. Others are asking why didn’t the school discipline those who made the threats? The answer is at the end of the sentence before last.

Well, you became more diverse, and look at your results! People aren’t getting along!!! I learned that oil and water don’t mix a long time ago - didn’t you?

Nuts.
THEY change to our ways.
Hurt my dog and I’ll hurt you back. And I’m a 5’2” old lady English teacher.

The Muslim who made the threat is the one who should have been sent packing!!

Muslims repeatedly demonstrate both that they are unwilling to assimilate, and that their unwillingness and hostility and violent propensity is the source of endless pain, suffering, and mass-murder.

Muslims should be wholly deported from all Western countries.

Anybody who threatens to stab a dog deserves bad things to happen to them. Very bad things.

What a p.c. answer, p.c as in “persecute Caucasian Christians “. Throw those third world , primitive people back to their own cultural countries instead of condoning these parasites from destroying ours.

“Hurd said a student threatened to kill his service dog named Emmitt.”

God help the screwed up, fanatical dork who might indicate he was going to harm or kill my little pets.

“I think this is part of the growth process when we become more diverse,” Steffens said.

Another attempt to sugar-coat an increasingly irreconcilable situation; them against us. Only our own laws and tolerance are used against us not them.

Minnesota has a lot of growing to do - most of it is still quite livable.

“I think this is part of the growth process when we become more diverse,” Steffens said.


Aside from being a hilarious punchline to the above nonsense, I’m sure all AmRenners would agree with me that if “diversity” meant embracing and treating with full respect the disabled, the blind, etc, every one of us here would support the notion. Because — although we Right-wingers are routinely smeared as heartless greedheads who pine for the good old days when you could still send children down coal mines and other inhuman acts — we of course know we’re not nearly so hard-hearted as that.

But that’s NOT what “diversity” means today, is it? The trouble is that today “diversity” means embracing, treating with full respect, and NEVER criticizing, every pre-Medieval religious crackpot who’s figured out how to fill out some paperwork and board an airplane.

And THAT’S when we discover that, in our desire to be fair to everyone (and to sample tasty new treats from around the globe), we’ve imported a frighteningly large bunch of uncouth, uneducated, unenlightened aliens with whom we have NOTHING in common, with whom we quite simply CAN’T GET ALONG — including some who are unambiguously COMMITTED TO OUR EXTINCTION.

And we’re supposed to believe this is a “growth process”? If so, then was the Fall of Rome also a growth process?

For the immigrants, maybe.

For the Romans, not so much.

I see alot of Muslim women on my dog walking route and noticed they cross the street when they see us coming. I try to cross at the same time, and if they don’t retreat back to the other side, I say to them, “Good evening ladies,” with the expected dirty, ugly looks. Then again I think this is what they always look like.

Those nut cases cant even let the poor dogs alone….run a herd of pigs through their neighborhoods….give them something to panic about….

Posted by lydia at 9:18 PM on May 13


Catholics, exactly WHY do you bring in these Somalis through your Catholic Charities? Are you INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy the unity of the American nation?

Posted by at 9:35 PM on May 13


It is OK for diversity to cause us white folk unlimited problems, we see this everyday. But, when two entitled diversities collide, Mr. Hurd is a Handicapper (deserving special protections and priviliges), then the problems start. When an irresistable force acts on an immovable object, which one prevails?

Posted by Lost in Paradise at 9:40 PM on May 13


The Muslim faith, which is the dominant faith of Somali immigrants, forbids the touching of dogs….The Somali students there warmed to the dog and eventually petted him using paper to keep their hands off his fur, Hurd said.

So it’s all right to touch a dog as long as there’s a thing piece of paper between you and its fur? That makes about as much sense as the rest of the Muslim religion.

Kate Steffens says “it is important to respect different cultures…”

That’s terrific, Kate. So teach THEM to either respect OUR culture or get the hell out of OUR country.

Posted by at 9:55 PM on May 13


Wait until Christmas. The Muslims will say that religious displays in your own yard offend them. Some cookoo judge will agree with them and all Christmas displays will be banned. It’s time to get out the shotguns, rifles, and pistols - not for the Muslims, but for the white idiots who agree with them.

Posted by gee vee at 10:28 PM on May 13


Isn’t it funny? the only way I would touch a somali would be to use gloves myself.

Posted by at 10:56 PM on May 13


Oh, hell.

Has anybody on this board read “the Domination of the Draka” series by S.M. Stirling? I’m about halfway ready to do to Muslims what the Draka did to them in the books.

Posted by at 11:34 PM on May 13


Choosing between Dogs and Muslims-easy, Dogs. Dogs don’t
blow up buildings and beat woman. Dogs are friendly and useful.
Muslims are not. To Muslims, Dogs are dirty and calling someone
a Dog is an insult. I say Dogs are clean if their master is and
that Muslims have dirty minds. They are not worthy to touch the
pad of my dog’s paw.

Posted by Leif the Lucky at 12:38 AM on May 14


Much of the world doesn’t like dogs-we do. That’s putting
it mildly. We are crazy about dogs; they are our surrogate
children (unfortunately). Just as the Hindus have the Cow, we
have the Dog. And any violence against our sacred animal will
be met with murderous rage.

Posted by Freyr at 1:13 AM on May 14


More benefits of diversity. How did we ever get along without it? I suppose those Somalis are among the “refugees” we imported at taxpayer expense. I haven’t paid much attention to African wars of late but I’m getting a lot more sympathetic to whoever was fighting them.

Posted by WR the elder at 1:18 AM on May 14


I have read the “Domination of the Draka” series, and remember that they enslaved all Muslim people while editing all offensive drivel from their Koran. Sounds good to me.

Posted by Scott Martin at 2:16 AM on May 14


The one time I was questioned by a cop with a K-9 partner was in college. The dog lay on my doorstep and it was a mixed-sex dorm floor. I wanted to close the door to get dressed, so I tossed my head at the German Shepherd, and it backed up a bit. I closed the door, got completely dressed, and when I opened the door, the dog blocked the entry again, shortly before the police woman came back to not arrest me.

That dog was cool. Why would ayone want to hurt a dog?

“Catholics, exactly WHY do you bring in these Somalis through your Catholic Charities? Are you INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy the unity of the American nation?”

Oh, no. In Minnesota, as in the REST OF THE USA, the group most invovled with the destruction of the Homogenous racial character of the USA is the LUTHERANS, with the Lutheran Social(ist) Service at the top of the charts here in MN.

Why do we not seek a class action lawsuit against LSS to revoke their 501(c)3 status, as traitors to the ethnic integrity of the State of MN?

Contact me. It’s time to stop the Calfornication of Minne-SO-ta.

Posted by Fr. John at 8:22 AM on May 14


These people should not be allowed to see your fear of them, and they should not be allowed to hide behind their religion. When they are not made to assimilate, they will go further and further with threats, intimidation and violence all in the name of Allah. Imagine if this was a white man threatening a disabled person’s service dog.

Posted by Kellie at 9:38 AM on May 14


Gives me a good mind to visit Lewiston the next time I go to Maine, don a pair of sunglasses, find me a white cane and dog harness, and attempt to frequent a few local businesses, just for laughs, of course.

Why are we allowed to talk about the Catholic and Lutheran role in immigration to this country but not the far greater, and more destructive Jewish role?

I though the motto of this site is “There is not a truth exsisting which I fear or would wish unknown to the whole world”.

The works of Kevin McDonald pretty much lay out what they did to this country in black and white. McDonald is an academic and his works are scholarly and well written and not some Stormfront anti Jewish hate fest. Yet it total forbidden on Amren.

“Steffens [Kate Steffens, dean of the college of education at St. Cloud State] said it is important to respect different cultures and the rights of disabled students.

“I think this is part of the growth process when we become more diverse,” Steffens said.

Unquestioning worshipers of diversity like the utterly feckless pc nonsense babbler Ms. Steffens above are only one step away from the retarded imbicile who thinks all things are the same.

By the way, how thoughtlessly stupid and unnatural can Islamists possibly get? Can’t even pet a dog? Can’t hold a different opinion? Cannot speak freely? Can’t tolerate a cartoon without rioting in the streets? This clone mob of middle-eastern primitives are actually trying to overturn our far higher culture and replace it with their fanatically brainless 10th century slave mentality.

…And if western population trends continue, they may eventually succeed.

Fans of “Domination of the Draka”: Is there a place for on line serials? I think I have a pulp novel in me. Sort of a good White guys against bad non-White guys story. I know, you’re saying to yourself, “More of that stuff! When will we ever see stories about brilliant Blacks with blonde girlfriends saving the world from racism?”

Posted by Schoolteacher at 9:40 PM on May 14


I live here in Saint Cloud and it’s a nice city save for these cry baby blacks moving in from Chicago, and the Smellians… Oops! I meant Smallians, or Somalians. They eat spaghetti without a fork, and by that I mean that they eat it (sauce and all) with their frickin hands! And they talk with their mouths full of food, and they do this and they do that, they get walked off the premises for making idle threats, (they won’t do anything if you confront them right back)… I think I’d rather give my dog a hug then eat off a plate of stroganoff with just my hands. Screw Islam!

“Why do we not seek a class action lawsuit against LSS to revoke their 501©3 status, as traitors to the ethnic integrity of the State of MN?”

The problem goes far deeper than tan exemption. These religious orgs get direct funding from the Feds, the more refugees, the more money.

“The threat came from a Somali student who is Muslim, according to Hurd, St. Cloud State and school district officials.”

Well, here is my scorecard on this topic and it is very objective, since I thankfully once had a pet Labrador, and now unfortunately have regular passing contact with Somalis.

So here goes:

1.) Labradors, intelligent and graceful.

Somalis, obtuse and shambling;

2.) Labradors, loyal and sociable;

Somalis, Muslims and typically so;

3.) Labradors, protective and helpful;

Somalis, hostile and obnoxious;

4.) Labradors, good with children;

Somalis, not even good with themselves;

5.) Labradors, fond of pork chops and bacon;

Somalis, antagonistic toward swine and even wine;

6.) Labradors, reasonably respectful of house rules;

Somalis, arrogantly ignorant of house rules;

7.) Labradors, grateful for kindness and inclusion;

Somalis, ungrateful and intrusive to the same;

And

8.) Labradors, tolerant of all religions;

Somalis, freakishly intolerant in the name of “the prophet.”

Well, draw your own conclusions from here in this “growth process” and as Porky Pig would say:

“That’s all folks…”

Posted by Brick at 10:25 AM on May 14

I couldn’t agree more. For an organization purportedly devoted to a White racial movement and consciousness, why is the lonely plight of one of our greatest, contemporary heroes being met with a deafening SILENCE here at AmRen? Professor MacDonald is an intellectual of the highest calibre and one of our most ardent defenders of white ethnocentrism, and yet the ongoing concerted attack by the deceitfully misnamed Southern Poverty Law Center has NEVER been addressed here. Why are we throwing him to the wolves? He needs and deserves our fervent support:
