It’s really disturbing how often someone’s first response to a person complaining about being mistreated by a health professional is to try and explain how hard it is for them and how they must be trying their best it’s just you or pressure on them or lack of resources or anything at all except the professionals themselves who are paragons of virtue and always know best

“On this day in 1845, UK Parliament passed an enclosure act, taking away public land, and appointing enclosure commissioners who could enclose more land without submitting a request to Parliament. From the 17th to 20th centuries, the British government passed over 5000 enclosure acts, enclosing 6.8 million acres of common, public land. Often military force was used to crush anyone who resisted. The enclosures were a vital part of the development of capitalism, as they created a whole class of landless people who had no way of surviving other than selling their labour power – the working class.”

The blast happened at around 5 a.m. at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, south of Minneapolis. There were 15 to 20 people inside the mosque when the blast happened, and worshippers managed to extinguish the blaze before firefighters arrived, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota said in a news release.

The society’s director, Asad Zaman, said at a news conference that a witness saw something being thrown at the imam’s office window from a “van or truck” before the blast. WCCO-TV reports that he said it may have been a fire bomb. Mohamed Omar, the center’s executive director, said a worshipper saw a pickup truck speeding away afterward.

The mosque, which primarily serves people from the area’s large Somali community, occasionally receives threatening calls and emails, Omar told the Star Tribune.

…“We came to this country for the same reason everyone else came here: freedom to worship,” [Yasir Abdalrahman, a worshipper at the mosque] said. “And that freedom is under threat. Every other American should be insulted by this.”
