Maine has a sexual assault problem in its
Somali community, by Ann Corcoran 9/30/16
Well, what else can you conclude when the
federal government shovels a whopping $300,000 grant to a Somali women’s group
located in Lewiston, ME.
How funny! The
group was renamed with a more generic sounding name probably to more easily get
the payola.
Maine’s
Republican Senator Susan Collins is one of the worst Republican Senators on the
Hill. Years ago I went to a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing she was
co-chairing and I was stunned by her naive and silly way of looking at the
terrorism issue as it related to Somalis leaving the US to join the jihadists.
BTW, when we
first began writing RRW back in 2007 there were allegations in Tennessee that
similar grant money, to a Somali group for the women, ended up in some Imam’s
pocket who had mysteriously returned to Somalia. Here is the short story from AP:
LEWISTON, Maine
(AP) – The
federal Office on Violence Against Women is giving a Maine immigration resource
center $300,000 for sexual assault and domestic violence advocacy in the
immigrant community.
The money is going to Immigration Resource
Center of Maine, which is located in Lewiston. The center was formerly called
the United Somali Women of Maine.
Maine U.S.
Sens. Angus King and Susan Collins say the immigration resource center will
create, maintain
and expand sexual assault services for East African sexual assault victims who
live in southern Maine. [I can
assure you that white Mainers are not doing the assaulting!—ed]
The senators
say the money will help provide culturally specific services to ensure that
members of Maine’s East African community have support and education about
sexual assault and domestic violence.
Wow! How many sexual
assaults and domestic violence cases are there in Maine? Where
is the media on that hot story? See our extensive archive on Maine by clicking
