Bad Moon At High Noon

     The consequences of unwisdom always arrive, albeit not always immediately.

     Do you remember This incident in Minnesota?

     On July 15, 2017, Justine Damond (née Ruszczyk), a 40-year-old Australian-American woman, was fatally shot by Minneapolis Police Department officer Mohamed Noor after she had called 9-1-1 to report the possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house. Occurring weeks after a high-profile manslaughter trial acquittal in the 2016 police killing of Philando Castile, also in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the shooting attracted national and international press, exacerbated existing tensions over policing, and led to widespread street protests. Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau was forced to resign her post after facing substantial public criticism for her response to the deaths of Damond and Castile.

     Mohamed Noor, a Muslim Somalian immigrant, was unwisely admitted to the Minneapolis police force. That cost an innocent life. You’d think the incident would have alerted police forces everywhere to the unwisdom of allowing Muslims to serve as police. It didn’t:

     That happened less than twelve miles from my home.

     Other, unverified reports of similar behavior by Muslim cops are available. Muslim cops in New York City have harassed a woman for walking her dog. There are numerous reports of Muslim cops in New York refusing to enforce motor vehicle laws against other Muslims.

     Getting the idea yet?

     This is a subject I’ve written about often, occasionally at great length. If we combine Islamic insistence that Muslims’ duty is to impose Islam and sharia on all other creeds with the power-tropism that characterizes applicants to police departments, stir well, and serve, what else could we reasonably expect?

     Must I say out loud that we cannot have Muslims with badges? Muslims in positions of authority? Muslims who think they’ve been awarded the power to impose the dictates of their savage, Seventh-Century creed on peaceable Americans?

     But now New York City has a Muslim mayor. Minnesota has a Muslim Attorney-General, and has elected a Muslim to the United States Senate. Dearborn, Michigan is now a Muslim-majority city whose public officials are predominantly Muslim. Texas, which has experienced unprecedented levels of Muslim ingress, faces the construction of an Islamic city.

     If such unwisdoms proliferate and are permitted to continue, further consequences will be swift to arrive. We won’t like them much.
