Kill the “militant” muzzies in the ME and give the “peaceful” a free pass to enter into your home.

Utter foolishness.

Makes me think of the buildup of MACV in Vietnam in 1962.

Don’t worry. Obamie and Holder will prosecute our soldiers who killed their terrorist soul-mates.

That’s how a commie president and his buttboy work.

Where I come from, that is called TREASON.

Killing these sand apes is like pulling the yellow flowers off dandelions. There’s an infinite source of muslim wombs and madrassas producing more radicals every day.

Only the gospel of Christ, and eventually His second coming, can stop islam.
