Some migrants at New York City shelters say they're not getting proper food for Ramadan

NEW YORK -- Some migrants say as Ramadan comes to a close, they're not getting the proper food at New York City shelters, but the city says it's all a big misunderstanding.

Amadou Barry came to New York from Guinea in West Africa three months ago. He's one of the 3,000 asylum seekers at the Randall's Island humanitarian center breaking fast in the shelter's cafeteria.

"Sometimes good food, sometimes no good food," Barry said.

Tuesday, he said the food was good. It was Eid al-Fitr, celebrating the end of the month of Ramadan.

More than half the migrants at the Randall's Island shelter are Muslim.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Christians try to help others in need at Holy Holidays.  Muslims don't do the same? :shrug:

Baloney sandwiches on white bread. If you don't like it, go back to your #*%! hellhole country.

Give them all the dead dogs and cats from the animal shelters. That is considered 'good food' in their home countries.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If you don't eat what is given to you for free, you go hungry!

Here's a big Amen from me. Or get their happy fannies out of here and go home.

Oh, I'm sorry...I'm sure Christians get a great dinner in Muslim ruled counties. /s
