When will we see exhibits featuring Hindus? A Christian exhibit? Or Jews? Why Muslims?
The answer to that question is the same reason why this exhibit is such an insult to free people. Minnesota has had a massive problem with young Muslim migrants joining ISIS or other jihad groups. It has become known as a hotbed of jihad terror. But you can be sure that there is not the slightest hint of that in this exhibit. This is an attempt to whitewash the image of Muslims in Minnesota and shame people out of asking the difficult but necessary questions about the Muslim community there. It’s sheer dawah propaganda, lauded by a complicit press.
“Exhibit to showcase Minnesota Muslims,” by Karen Tolkkinen, Echo Press, April 6, 2018 (thanks to Wyck):

An exhibit describing the Muslim experience in Minnesota will arrive in Alexandria on Monday, April 9, for a three-week stay.
Called “Tracks in the Snow,” it features photos and experiences narrated by 25 Muslim Minnesotans. It has traveled around the Midwest for several years and is organized by the Saint Anthony-based Islamic Resource Group. It will be on display in the hall connecting the 700 Building and the Law Enforcement Center, and a reception is planned for 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 23, at the school.
“I think people are really looking for dialogue and direct connections with Americans of different backgrounds,” said John Emery, a speaker for the group who escorts the exhibit. “The main impact of the exhibit is that it gets people to question their stereotypes. And most importantly, it brings people together to ask questions and talk.”
A convert to Islam, Emery chose to keep his name. John the Baptist is considered a prophet by both Christians and Muslims, he said, so though it might not sound like it, “John,” is still a “great Muslim name.”
Muslims have called Minnesota home for more than a century, according to the Islamic group. Emery said the exhibit’s goal is to allow viewers to connect with their stories. The stories are about finding one’s place in America and making America a better place for all, he said.
“That idea really resonates with so many Americans’ lives,” he said.
The college, its foundation and the Inclusion Network are hosting the exhibit. Their interest was sparked after an Islamic speaker came to Alexandria in February 2017. That event turned contentious at times as some in the audience repeatedly challenged the speaker.
“It was good information to talk about the Muslim experience and what their beliefs are,” said Shari Maloney, the college’s human resource director and a volunteer with the Inclusion Network. “There’s a lot of confusion and misperception about that religion.”…
In February, the Tracks in the Snow exhibit was in Montevideo, at the Chippewa County Public Library. Head librarian Larissa Schwenk said most who encountered the display seemed surprised and pleased.
“The reaction seemed to be, ‘Oh, this is really neat, it’s not something you’re going to see in rural Minnesota,” she said. “In rural Minnesota, we just don’t get that exposure in our smaller communities and there’s a lot of misinformation.”
More recently, “Tracks in the Snow” was in the public library in La Crosse, Wisconsin, which has a mosque. The display was paired with programs about Islam, which programming librarian Brendan Hubbs said sparked “good conversations.”
One woman spoke with library staff about her daughter, who was dating a Saudi man who is also Muslim.
“She had certain prejudices and concerns with that relationship and wanted to dispel those for herself and she no longer wanted to have that kind of a closed mindset,” Hubbs said. “She wanted to change what she thought about people she wasn’t familiar with.”…

That non-sequitur made about as much sense as a screen door in a submarine muslum knuckle dragger.

Dawah, jihad with tongue
-> inviting https://quran.com/9/6 to piSSlam, i.e. God’SS sharia ‘law’ 5/48 supersede 8/39 man-made laws 98/6 (e.g. U.S. Constitution), the MOST(!!) important duty of a Muslim who ONLY know what’s ‘right and wrong’ 3/110
… as the first dawa maker (warner) muh. https://quran.com/26/214

Yes it is nice to share their experiences but it would be more fair to share everyone’s experience with soft jihad.

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Lying is not permitted except in three cases: a man’s speaking to his wife to make her happy; lying at times of war; and lying in order to reconcile between people.’” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 1862; he said: it is a hasan hadeeth. See also Saheeh Muslim, 4717).

No coincidence that Imam Keith Ellison is from MN.

There’s nothing quite like public libraries sponsoring islamic propaganda events — while suppressing all literature critical of islum, muslums, or their holey prophet for profit.

Demoncraps and traitors purposely put these DEMONS to infest middle White America. The HEARTLAND. And everybody just let them.
It’s like the “Britain” of this country. The decades plan of the Progressives are beginning to be come to fruition. Decades from now America will be a squabbling balkanized hotbed of infighting tribes.
Then the Demoncraps will grab FOOL power because they can only rule in CHAOS.

Conservatives must organize and establish a counter offensive. It must also begin to call out Islamic practitioners as the haters they are. We must begin weeding these people out of the schools and academia as well as government. Conservatives have no effective party because the Republican party has shown its true self to be hostile to conservative (e.g. true American) values.
