No diet sodas or many packaged food products, as they may contain sweeteners or ingredients derived from alcohol.
Also - no driving, as most gas is 10% alchol!
You can see why their tribal culture is so primitive!
I say withhold ALL preventative measures from Muslims who refuse common treatments.
In’shallah and all: if these Muslim communities are disproportionally hit, and casualties are higher than the norm, it’s Allah’s will, right ??
LMAO ;-) I love Primus! Are they still around?! The only time I hear them now is on “South Park”...
I’m actually an American living over here and watching this shit unfold in real-time and it sucks! I asked about when the crap is gonna hit America kind of tounge-in-cheek because in just 6 short months we’re already well on the way to becoming just like Britain! I used to taunt my two conservative friends over here about horrible Britain was becoming and I’ve had to keep my mouth shut since January 21st...they’re taunting me now! ;-)
Have you been in a taxi in New York or London recently? Trust me, they don’t use deodorant!!!
Arent’ you excited about coming over here? ;-)
And those stupid enough to welcome them with open borders.
Who cares. Let them decide this in their own country.
Automobile windshield washer fluid (isopropyl alcohol), automobile engine coolant (ethylene or propylene glycol), shellac (a common wood finish that uses alcohol) ....
They don’t use toilet paper either.
Really. No kidding.
Good...can’t drive cars and can’t use furniture. I guess that leaves pounding sand in the desert all day.
In search of the ultimate camel toe...
It's starting to sound like the UK is more Muslim than where I'm coming from. :-D
Your screen name takes the cake, UnwashedPeasant! ;-)
Yes. Didn’t mean to generalize so broadly.
I know a few muslims who would rightly view this as stupid.
Make it illgal for any product not to have alcohol in it.
Eliminate all muslims in short order!!!
