Muslim Imigrant Endorsement Opinion in Minnesota

 Somali Media MN reports:

Somali Community Leaders Endorse Harris-Walz Ticket Amid Concerns Over Trump Presidency

These are prominent and respected persons in Minnesota's Somali community. As expected they are disappointed with Middle East events. Yet they are united in seeing Trump as inimical to their best interest. Fueling Islamophobia seems a justified criticism although the tenor of the Republican ticket seems more against Hispanic migration into the nation this election cycle.

The message is urging those of Islamic faith to set aside unhappiness with Middle East current suffering in favor of long term considerations. It seems a weighed endorsement. Whether the Palestinian community in Michigan hears and embraces this Minnesota hedged endorsement will be seen in weeks.

The endorsement will resonate with Minnesota's Somali residents. Victory for Democratic Party Representive Ilhen Omar in MN CD5 is likely in her seeking reelection. There is a large Somali presence in her District.

UPDATE: Not only is Trump promoting division and hatred. He has Stephen Miller who if winning he'd promote to his Secretary of Hate. With a mandate. And a slogan. "Hate, as you decimate."
