If they know how to play the game, they get better free food in prison, too.... A Jewish Ex-Con Recalls Keeping Kosher with the Faithful in Prison It’s not always easy being Jewish in prison but there are some advantages for the folks keeping kosher behind bars—better food for one thing. As of 2014, 1,500 of New York’s 56,000 prisoners are Jews that keep kosher. If you really believe that all 1500 were avoiding pork before they got behind the wall, you’ve got another think coming. thedailybeast.com

You miss the point. While you raise hell when Christians and Jews make irrational demands. But these fools can demand DIFFERENT free food under poverty programs and it seems totally reasonable to you and the rest of the idiot left. If they get hungry enough they'll eat the pork. Where did I say I agree with their demands? And let me clarify some of the garbage cited in the article you posted. First of all, the Somalis were not forced upon MN. In its attempts to diversify, MN has invited refugees to settle in the state. Secondly, the first generation Somalis tend to be very poor......their jobs are at the bottom of the food chain. They are very dependent on food shelves for their food. BTW the second generation are going to school and most likely will be more successful. Purely anecdotal, I met several when taking prep classes for my Masters at one of the local community colleges. While devout, they were incredibly nice people. Thirdly, there are several versions of Sharia.........most Muslims practice a far more moderate version than groups like ISIS. But American wingers keep vilifying Muslims and stoking the hate.............obviously, it suits their/your purposes.
