It’s the AP, so they are probably lying out their nether regions again.

The Islamic sense of Entitlement is the worst in the World. The Religion teaches its followers they are God's Gift to the Universe and everyone else must join or pay Tribute. Women are little better than slaves and Infidel Women can be raped at will.

They are essentially the last tribe you'd want to Import which is why the RAT Congress is making us pay to bring them in.

Hundreds of military-age males have simply walked away from the Stateside reception centers, un-vetted.

If you were a muslim and a terrorist, conveniently relocated to the USA at no charge, what would YOU do?

Vaccinated against measles, but not against COVID? Interesting.

Doesn’t matter they are all given a furlough and will just walk off the bases where they land and into the US, bound for the nearest mosque and black market arms dealer.

Fully armed and in tight with the mosque of their tribe, they will feel right at home, but will have to ‘work’ to institute Sharia which means making s.vests and belts.
