Citizens of Greeley, CO, fed up with the stealth jihad they see going on with Muslim employees of the Swift & Co. meatpacking plant there (demanding religious accommodations during Ramadan) are planning to protest Saturday. Long-time readers will recall that we followed the Somali protests and subsequent firings there last year. For new readers (and others who need a refresher), please see our entire category(69 posts) on the subject here.
Jerry Gordon writing at New English Review yesterday tells us what is being planned, here. One of the most fascinating and ironic aspects of what is happening in Greeley is that Greeley is considered instrumental in the historical development of the radical Islamic ideology that spawned Osama bin Laden.
On Saturday, August 8th, a Greeley, Colorado pro-Israel Christian Zionist group, The Celebration Congregation will protest a Somali effort to impose Sharia in this Front Range community in the foothills of the Rockies. They are doing this to take a stand against creeping Islamization in their home community and America. They have done this before in protests against anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian groups at a Denver area Presbyterian Church and the University of Denver in 2005 and 2006.
Greeley, Colorado, as Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize winning author of “The Looming Tower” has written, is the birthplace of Al Qaeda. That is where in 1948, an Egyptian foreign exchange student, Sayyid Qutb, was so offended by American culture, especially ‘obscene’ close slow dancing which he witnessed at a Church social, that he resolved to fight it by returning to the roots of Jihadist Political Islam and Sharia. His book “Milestones” chronicled his spiritual epiphany in Greeley. Subsequently he was jailed, tried and hung by the late Egyptian President and dictator, Gamal Abdel Nasser. His writing was the foundation of what became the Al Qaeda movement headed by Osama bin Laden, the perpetrator of 9/11.
So it is ironic that the legacy of Qutb has returned to Greeley in the form of Somali immigrant workers at the JBS Swift & Company meat packing plant there.
Gordon also discusses the ethnic conflicts going on at this plant between long-time Hispanic workers and the Somali refugee workers brought in by the US State Department. To learn more, read on.

The US State Department has admitted over 80,000 Somali refugees to the US in the last 25 years and then last year had to suspend family reunification because widespread immigration fraud was revealed through DNA testing.
