Well what do you think of this Pilot Program started by BO and his Team? 3 Cities.....Boston, Los Angeles, and the Twin Cities. What say ye?

Step one to ‘Countering Violent Extremism’: call up local business and religious leaders. Step two: encourage said leaders to engage in a heartfelt tête-à-tête with the potential terrorist. Yes, thank you Minnesota. That’s its new open-minded plan to discourage locals from joining ISIS. And unsurprisingly, the federal government is backing the plan.

According to Yahoo News: The nascent plan is one of many experiments supported by the federal government’s Countering Violent Extremism strategy. Leaders from the federal program’s three pilot cities — Boston, Los Angeles and the Twin Cities — are meeting for a three-day summit at the White House this week to discuss how best to fight back against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS and ISIL) and other terror networks’ increasingly sophisticated recruiting techniques......snip~

So he is targeting 3 liberal cities because they produce radicals who might be radicals in a way different than we want? Worth a shot I suppose.

I would guess that the Twin Cities are involved because we have an enormous Somali population and many of the known Al-Shabaab members who came from America were from the Twin Cities. They like to recruit here and it's very sad that they can find any young people who are so troubled they believe any of that garbage. I don't know why Boston and LA are involved but I'd guess it's the same reason.

Stopping young people from being radicalized is a good idea. I have no problem with it. I'm having a hard time seeing why anybody would have a problem with it.

No sure about LA, but Clinton dropped a lot of Somalian refugees into Holyoke which is not terribly far from Boston.

I was surprised BO and team didn't want one around here. Especially with Louis Farrakan still around. One would have to say he leans militant.

He used to. Now I think he has driven that crazy train so far off the tracks, the Nation of Islam doesn't get many new members.
