State Revokes Anti-Muslim License Plate “FMUSLMS”
Alex Lloyd
Editor at Large
February 23, 2016
How, exactly, a license plate reading “FMUSLMS” made it through the Department of Public Safety’s screening process and onto the road is a question many Minnesota residents are asking. But it did.
At the request of Gov. Mark Dayton—who said he was “appalled” by the state’s error and that the person who requested the custom plate should be “ashamed”—has ordered it be revoked. The plate was approved back in June 2015, in the small town of Foley.
A photo of the plate was posted online after it was spotted in the town of St. Cloud. “Unitecloud,” an organization that attempts to relieve cultural tensions in the city, asked its Facebook followers to notify and express their outrage to the DPS.
“People were angry, asking questions,” Haju Yusef, the man who first posted the image online, said to CBS Minnesota. “How did this happen? How did this go through the DMV without anybody paying attention to it?”
The DPS has not issued details on how its mistake occurred, merely apologizing and concurring that the request should never have been approved in the first place. The plate will be removed immediately. The name of the person who requested it is not being released.
“That prejudice has no place in Minnesota,” said Gov. Dayton, who called for the DPS to review its procedures to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen again. Yusef believes the person who ordered the plate does not represent the majority of Minnesota: “What matters,” he says, “is a community came together at this moment.”
CRY ME A RIVER!!
kudos to the guy in the small town of Foley who got away with it.... and the hell with that limp noodle of a Governor the state is stuck with in Mark Dayton....

As an ex-Minnesotan I know those bureaucrats will never admit making a mistake. Not even more serious ones.

Yeah - this was in the news a week or so ago.. If the guy's smart he'll just replace the plate and then obtain a bumper sticker with the same message and attach that to the vehicle.. Take THAT, "Crazy Eyes" Dayton...

Dayton's a bigger putz than Obama is... and a bigger Islamic Assskisser....I have no clue about the starvation in the Twin Cities for "Diversity", but they sure prostitute the hell out of themselves to obtain it....and are "blind" to all the crime and social problems brought with it....

"Crazy Eyes" Dayton, there is no doubt about that observation. Our politics are mighty sad.

How many others have pulled this off?  It took a MN resident to pull it off and I'm sure there isn't another state that would allow that plate.

Like most state DOT's, MN's is messed up. My blond, blue-eyed daughter of Norwegian ancestry's (she has a glow-in-the-dark complexion)driver's license had the photograph of a Somali woman.
