You gotta be scheissen me! 9/11? Terrorism? Hello, MSM, these islamofascists want to KILL you and any non-muslims like you. It is the Terminator cult. You can' reason with it; you can't negotiate with it. It will not stop until it has killed or converted you.
If you say ANYTHING other than praise of Islam, the Muslims will take grievous offense. Doesn't that tell you something about the cult to which you are so sensitive?
Besides the fact that it’s Muslim?
