January 8, 2003 Greetings, This letter is to request a statement of solidarity for the Somali community of Lewiston Maine. This community of about 1000 in a town of 35 000-36 000 received a letter from the mayor telling them to stop coming because they had drained the others in the town emotionally, physically, and financially. Since then, the National Alliance, which is a pretty big white supremacist group in the States, has been recruiting and spreading there racist message in that town. On January 11th, 2003, The World Church of the Creator, another white supremacist group, is going to have a talk there. For more information, please visit: http://firefly.freewebsites.com/lewiston.html We are trying to collect statements of solidarity by Friday night so that we can give them to the Somali community when we go down there on the 11th of January. If you would like to show your support but do not have the time to write up a solidarity statement, attached is a No One Is Illegal letter that you can endorse. Please send either your statements of solidarity, or confirmation that your group endorses the letter below to salma@riseup.net by Friday night. (January 10, 2003) In solidarity, Salma from the No One Is Illegal Campaign in Montreal ------------------------------- To the Somali community of Lewiston, On behalf of The No One Is Illegal Campaign in Montreal (which is a group led by immigrants/refugees fighting for the rights of our communities and in solidarity with First Nations communities), we want to extend our solidarity to you during these difficult times as your community is undergoing unjust racist attacks. All too often, in times of economic or security crises, the blame falls on immigrant and refugee communities. These communities are made to feel like they have overstayed their visit and are abusing a generous favour granted to them by the government of that land. When Mayor Larry Raymond blamed your community for the depressed economy of Lewiston, he falsely implied that your community had less right to work than the others in that town. As refugees fleeing a war, it is your right, not a special privilege, to live in dignity and respect wherever you choose. And once there, you have as much right as anyone else to have a job, to have a family and to make a new life for yourself. The white supremacists coming to your town claim more entitlement on this land than any immigrant or refugee, but they forget that their ancestors were also foreigners that migrated here. They cannot in any credible way tell your community, or any other community, that you are invading their territory (which isn't even theirs in the first place) when governments set up by their own immigrant ancestors brutally massacred, and continue to massacre almost the entire population of the real natives of this land that had so openly welcomed them when they first arrived. Unfortunately, as has been done in the past, the period of economic uncertainty and the despair of people struggling to make ends meet has been used to divide the population by blaming the recession on a certain community. If people are given scapegoats, they are less likely to look at the root causes of the problem of poverty and unemployment. We want to convey to you our solidarity as you resist the white supremacists' attempts to put your community down, as you resist the racist scapegoating fuelled by the mayor and other racists that claim that you are somehow imposing on them, as you resist further displacement, and we stand in solidarity as you assert your right, which is no less than anyone else's, be they white or not, to live in dignity and respect. In solidarity, Members of The No One Is Illegal Campaign in Montreal -------------------------------------------------- Mayor Raymond's letter to the Somali community October 1, 2002 For some number of months, I have observed the continued movement of a substantial number of Somalis into the downtown area of our community. I have applauded the efforts of our city staff in making available the existing services and the local citizenry for accepting and dealing with the influx. I assumed that it would become obvious to the new arrivals the effect the large numbers of new residents has had upon the existing staff and city finances and that this would bring about a voluntary reduction of the number of new arrivals - it being evident that the burden has been, for the most part, cheerfully accepted, and every effort has been made to accommodate it. Our Department of Human Services has recently reported that the number of Somali families arriving into the city during the month of September is below the approximate monthly average that we have seen over the last year or so. It may be premature to assume that this may serve as a signal for future relocation activity, but the decline is welcome relief given increasing demands on city and school services. I feel that recent relocation activity over the summer has necessitated that I communicate directly with the Somali elders and leaders regarding our newest residents. If recent declining arrival numbers are the result of your outreach efforts to discourage relocation into the city, I applaud those efforts. If they are the product of other unrelated random events, I would ask that the Somali leadership make every effort to communicate my concerns on city and school service impacts with other friends and extended family who are considering a move to this community. To date, we have found the funds to accommodate the situation. A continued increased demand will tax the city's finances. This large number of new arrivals cannot continue without negative results for all. The Somali community must exercise some discipline and reduce the stress on our limited finances and our generosity. I am well aware of the legal right of a U.S. resident to move anywhere he/she pleases, but it is time for the Somali community to exercise this discipline in view of the effort that has been made on its behalf. We will continue to accommodate the present residents as best as we can, but we need self-discipline and cooperation from everyone. Only with your help will we be successful in the future - please pass the word: We have been overwhelmed and have responded valiantly. Now we need breathing room. Our city is maxed-out financially, physically and emotionally. I look forward to your cooperation. Laurier T. Raymond Jr. Mayor, City of Lewiston

lol....its more like "Somali Idol" and personally i think somali ppl do have what it takes.....they just need more confidence and i bit of work

:eek: ya'll didn't understand wha i was trying to say... about that part where i said <> it was a rhetorical question i was trying to make the point that there are parents who beat their childern brutally....and that they are not suppose to.....and there are situations where the parent takes out their anger upon the child....and about that ayah....i will hook ya'll up with it, so that way ya'll see where im coming from and there is NO more misunderstanding

Aight well...this question has always been a major issue especially when it comes to the Somali community.. How do you feel about it? Now a days our childern/siblings are being taught that if your parents put a finger on you...call da police..so wha do you think? Well here is ma 2 cents...i think that it is discipline in terms of the HOLY QU'RAN....but as long as the child ain't bleeding and bruised or any other type of markings its okay...and keep in mind that Allah said to discipline the child by spanking as a mean of humiliation on a minor scale.....why would Allah want us to beat our childern Sh*TLESS ...when our religion promotes love and peace Anyways let me know what you think
