And I’m sure some rapist will take advantage of that opportunity sooner or later.

Indeed, and in Islam a scalp.
Forcing America to sleep with the enemy.
Obama’s Jihad.
Michelle is a trannie .... HAS to be.
Yep. Sodom and Gomorrah will look like seminaries compared to what America will be soon.
go down ?
