Must be a Zionist plot.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

LOL! Muslims use Holy Water? Seriously, what do they do with it? I thought it was just us Catholic's who used it for different religious practices.

Any chance we could send a few hundred cases of this stuff to all the extremist groups?

I grew up Lutheran, and we used it as well. Mostly for baptisms.

Just further proves that Islam is poison, a ROT (religion of terror) to any society.

There is nothing Holy relating to Mecca unless you worship a false god.
