Say anything about the atrocities Islam does and you’re called islamophobic, but antisemitism is okay.

In related news, it is “controversial” that water is wet.

“Controversial” is media-speak for “Common Sense”.

It’s like “trans” actually means “fake” or “pretend”.

What is controversial about saying islamists, who support the US Democratic party and the overthrow of the American way of life, blew up the WTC.

Other Dem supporters tried to kill Trump.

Other Dem supports killed Charlie Kirk.

Facts.

Not “Radical” . Just Islam. It’s in their book.

Orthodox Islam. Islam as taught and practiced by the most respected Imams.

These are the Imams that issue fatwas condemning homosexuals to death and condemning women to death for adultery, the Imams that sentence the cutting off of hands for theft.

Islam is the religion that makes the 7th century new again.

No more controversial than teaching the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. There is no question that hijackers who slammed airliners into the World Trade Center and Pentagon 25 years ago were Muslim jihadis
