Maine: Islamic Market Guilty of Food Stamp Fraud Got a Pass from the Obama Administration

Barack Hussein Obama went out of his way to aid Muslim individuals and groups domestically and internationally. He showered billions upon Iran as they chanted “Death to America,” and he let criminals like these receive light penalties because they were Muslim. Yet the enemedia, all through his eight years in office, whined and cried about islamofauxbia, all the while Muslims were being set up as a special protected class.

“Islamic Market Guilty of Food Stamp Fraud Gets a Pass,” by Brendan Kirby, LifeZette, March 27, 2017:

Maine Gov. Paul LePage is objecting to a break the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Obama administration gave a halal market that made fraudulent food stamp transactions.

But federal officials told LifeZette the decision is final.

“If you have rules, you need to follow the rules. The problem with the previous administration is they were very, very weak on fraud.”

The case involves Sindbad Market in Portland. According to the Agriculture Department’s Office of Inspector General, the market made four fraudulent transactions with three ineligible customers. Because the owner was personally involved in one of the transactions, that ordinarily would trigger a one-year suspension of the ability to accept food stamps, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

But an attorney for Sindbad Market asked for and received an exemption in September on grounds that suspension would cause a hardship for Muslim food stamp recipients, who rely on the market for its preparation of halal meat, in accordance with Islamic law. The federal government agreed to impose a $33,000 fine instead.

“In consideration of the attorney’s response and our analysis of other SNAP retailers in the area, it was our determination that disqualification of Sindibad [sic] Market LLC would cause a hardship for SNAP households due to no comparable stores within a one mile radius,” a federal document states….

Why are Muslims always seeking help, aid and assistance from Christians, Europe and the West instead of seeking the same form Islamic and often wealthy nations?

Why aren’t Muslims showing the world how they care for one another so as to show the whole worlds the beauty and “truth” of Islam?

Why are they always looking to the West, the modern world which they condemn and decry?

It’s only a matter of time before Democrats want to open our doors to them. Liberals would never want to betray their beloved Muslim brothers. Just look at how Obama sat on his hands while ISIS took over the middle east and Iran built up their nuclear program. Obama nearly destroyed our country during his eight years in office.

Stateside, Obama crippled our economy. Everybody I know is either out of work or under-employed. And our expenses keep rising. My health insurance is now up to $400/month. Before the government touched it, it was $250/month! My auto insurance, which the government has yet to ruin, is thankfully only $24/month (from Insurance Panda). Please, Obama! Go away and never come back!

Why don’t Muslims work to resolve the issues in the Islam world and societies, to advance their own nations, to rule themselves in self determination even if they determine the same to be a theocracy?

Why are thy just running away from the problems in their homelands?

Benjamin Franklin said that those who choose security over freedom and liberty deserve neither.

Because their end game is spreading into Christian countries to convert. Saudi has the money and space and resources to house ten Million refugees tomorrow but that would not spread the will of Allah.

Don’t worry, all that extra money we pay for insurance, taxes, etc., went to fund Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, etc. to fund all their activities. You know, for all the charitable work that they do…..

I don’t see why people are being allowed into countries like Canada when they have no means to support themselves and the multitudes of offspring they have. Their business morals are not the same as ours they have no problem taking a written off smashed up car, patching it and selling it to a customer at full price. Money and commerce is a game to them to see how far they can get on little to no investment. They think it is funny when they get one over on the easy to fool white folks.

Time to get an attorney general to start enforcing the law as it pertains to fair marketing, and retail sales. Every time a muslim gets special treatment under the law, they are encouraged to demand more. One law for everyone, specifically, the Constitution.

How common is Muslim fraud? Epidemic. Even the Arab store owner robbed in Ferguson by Michael Brown so happened to have been under investigation for fraud. Muslim doctors and clinics bilk millions nationwide. etc. etc. This corruption is ‘part of their culture’.

Islam allows, even encourages, taking from the infidel. In Islam the entire world belongs to Islam.

It’s even a tribal thing: these sheet-heads will steal from their own countrymen, unless, of course, they are from the same tribe. Honor, y’know?

The gov said “it was our determination that disqualification of Sindibad [sic] Market LLC would cause a hardship for SNAP households……” Unbelievable. It’s going to take years to uncover the true damage and devastation the last “president” did to our country.

No, the decision is NOT final if the ‘rules’ were corrupt in the first place.

But of course. He did not want them reduced to eating dogs as he claimed was an almost routine part of his childhood. I still wonder why the WH never answered my request for his recipe for Chicken Poodle Soup.

I really do not understand Trump motives in deporting Mexicans when he should be focusing on deporting ALL muslims, the vermin in America. At least most Mexicans work and try to make decent lives here. Muslimes come for the handiuts and they have no intention of becoming Americans.

Only 2% of illegal Mexicans in California work in agriculture. Most of the rest are on the dole.

You are very mistaken. They work in restaurants, construction, etc. I think your statistics are misunformed. It is the muslimes who are 99% on the dole.
