Hey, I have a clue for you. Don't believe anything anyone with the last name of "Hajj" tells you about the middle east, jews, terrorists, islam or military issues.

This dude has been to Mecca.

Anyone who in the world who has "Hajj" as part of their name either has a parent who has crawled to that black cube in Mecca, or has done the deed themselves.

That's what it means, and it's pretty hardcore.

Muslims are our enemy, and you should learn all you can about them.

Just another isolated incident....

But enough "isolated incidents" make for a certain degree of malicious aforethought.
