Uh ... that's sex, NAME, and religion

[Jo Nuvark]

A female convert to Islam? One must question her intellect.
One must also question if she was forced to be circumcised?

"Most muslims follow the koran as christians follow the Bible: they ignore the stuff they don't like and highlite the stuff they do."

All it takes is a religious revival for them to begin killing.

Notice how many people refer to terrorists after the fact as "suddenly getting religious"?
