So a gay Somali man who has personally benefitted enormously from the ultra tolerant atmosphere of the USA, is funded via charity and goodwill to open a bar and restaurant, and......hates the USA. The Volags who make money off of bringing people here who hate us are largely to blame imo.

Gay bar owner's alleged Facebook posts threaten his new business: 'I hate Israel'.
A gay bar that is planning to open in Minneapolis is already struggling after the owner allegedly called Jewish people “evil” and said they “must be eliminated from existence” on Facebook.
Emad Yousef Abed’s alleged Facebook posts — some from 2015— reappeared when he posted a GoFundMe page with a reported $1.5M goal, to purchase a building for Cheers, a new LGBTQ bar. According to City Pages, Abed had promised donors free drinks and a mention on the “LGBT wall of fame” on the June 21 opening, one day before the city’s Pride Weekend.
The GoFundMe page was reportedly deleted, although a spokesperson did not reply to Yahoo Lifestyle’s requests for comment.
According to the Star Tribune, a Minneapolis man named Andy Birkey (who declined an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle) decided to look at Abed’s Facebook page, where he was “really shocked” by the rhetoric.
