How the community could become more inclusive by exclusion, she didnt say.

I am waiting for the day WE have to tell about 1 million(??) Chinese in US that they can no longer use the name LEE....
Of course in 150 years the WWI, WWII, Korea & Vietnam wars/conflicts will be verboten to say or ref to.
The WOT and Afghanistan and MIDEAST will still be a continuing ‘battle’ but will be interested to see what the Military looks like then....

CAIR needs to go home and take all of their hatred with them. There is nothing more obnoxious and dangerous as Muzzie Supremacists.
