This is sad. We have a large Somali community here in Minneapolis, and I've worked with some of them. As a whole, they are very secular (except for one nutball, who spent most of his time chastising the others). Granted, this is merely a cross section of those who escaped and came here, but that's what I see.

It sucks.
