Those muslim scum will remove Obama’s head if they get the opportunity.

Bravo Sierra. I never even saw on until I was in high school and even that was only because I lived in DC and attended a school with lots of diplomat kids. Never saw another one until fairly recently when the damn flood gates must have been opened. Other than the occasional gas station owner.
“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog...”
