Yes, the Left is stuck to the glue of radical stupidity and egalitarianism like a frog to a tire tread of a 16 wheeler.
Yeah, right, lets not name the name that needs to be named (Islam, Islamofascism) and instead lets focus on the rest of sane society (which foots the bill for many of these miscreants) to ward off any signs of ”stigmatization”. Also, forget about concerned for their (the host society’s) safety, the racist bigots, how dare they be fearful of Islam, no matter how many people are brutally butchered by its adherents and in its name. Close your eyes, and throw more money at them. Yeah, I think I got this moron’s number.
NOTE: Just another example of why universities would be better off closing down the social science departments once and for all, and focus on real science.
In every society there are individuals who are angry, who feel that either themselves or the community face injustices, are intolerant, blurred by extremist ideology, or mentally ill. We also have these unfortunate examples of our own.
Instead, it is a concern if all the Finnish Somalis or Muslims are stigmatized, and the immigration debate becomes a discussion of national security.
Inequality is a greater threat than al- Shabaab

HS: Al -Shabaab attack at the Westgaten shopping center in Nairobi, Kenya , and the Central Bureau of Investigation that just completed a preliminary investigation relating to the potential for terrorist financing and al- Shabaab recruitment have led to a debate on the extent to which this radical group has support from the West , and in particular by residents of the Somali people.
It is not in itself surprising if at some point it is confirmed that a Finnish Somali would have supported or participated in the activities of the group to organize its armed attacks in the Horn of Africa. There are similar examples from other countries – why should Finland be an exception?

In an ongoing research project in the Academy of Finland I have interviewed representatives of two generations of immigrant families from Somalia in Toronto, Canada.
Their main concern related to the future of the second generation in Canada, the number of families living in poverty, unsafe and poor conditions of residential areas and the violence that resulted in Toronto with at least six Canadian Somali young men being killed in last year alone.
Toronto School Department statistics show that about a quarter of high school young immigrants from Somalia suspend studies, and also of those who graduate from universities, it is difficult to find employment. Somali youth face institutional racism even in a multicultural Canada.
The Toronto area is home to an estimated one hundred thousand people from Somali backgrounds. Among them, six young men have said to have joined up with al- Shabaab, when movement was at its strongest just a few years ago.
Al- Shabaab ism from the family point of view, a marginal concern compared to structural inequalities and human insecurity that they face in their everyday lives in Toronto. On the other hand parents have learned a new way to be vigilant in relation to their children , and the mosques are being actively monitored, who are attending there. Schoolwork is more difficult to control.
Finland should take care now, the fact that resources are directed primarily at families’ well-being and the promotion of human security. The funds should be allocated for social inequality and exclusion.
Networking and mutual trust between the religious communities, migrant organizations and authorities should continue to be strengthened.
Al- Shabaab and other extremist groups are a threat to the Finnish Somalis and other Muslims.

NOTE: Try and tell this woman she hasn’t been stigmatized…. by Islam.
To properly refute the opinion stated above by this purveyor of the Frankfurt School narrative would take several pages. On the surface and drilled in it is pure social Marxist nonsense however. The issue is not how the people live who commit these crimes but why.
If you look at the history of immigration from various nations into Western nations you will find that some used crime to move forward and some lived in horror until they were able to legitimately improve their lots. This was decades before social welfare, free housing and a laundry list of advantages these Somali ‘refugees’ (I use single quotes because I do not believe that a person is a refugee if they are escaping the mess they themselves created) have in abundance. They are simply not poor except by a Neo-Marxist definition of it.
Both the Irish and the Jews when they had their period of mass migration to the US for example, where exceptionally abused. The Irish where used to dig the New Orleans canals because blacks as slaves where too expensive to risk losing to Malaria. So the Irish died in droves. They still took the jobs and established themselves without attacking us or blowing anything up in our nations. The Jews had been forbidden to work at some stages and ghettoized in parts of New York and still had the lowest crime rate in the US. The famous quote from this period referring to the only weapon needed by Jews was a library card.
So I suggest this prof. go and live in Somalia or even in parts of Ottawa where the Somali community is concentrated and then tell us after a year or so how it was really her fault when she finds out how the intrinsic culture of Islam and North African Islam at that, treats white women.
