Yup.

It takes a Muslim to be proud of shooting little kids.

Since he is so proud of his brother's killings, why didn't this subhuman go out in a blaze of glory and let the police martyr him with a death by suicide (or whatever you could call it = death by martyrdom, maybe)?

It takes a Muslim to be proud of shooting little kids.

I agree. And yet the French, while knowing that they have a big, big problem, allow these subhumans to live and prosper from their government's financial support, in their country. Puzzling.

Yeah,,, glad WE don’t let wild Muslim immigrants come here freely, and then support them financially, and kowtow to their every demand. /

Oh, I know about us but then again, I also know that our government is big, sloppy and stupid. I was just wondering why a smaller government couldn’t be more responsive to internal dangers.
