Yet I read last night that the Syrian American Christians in Allentown, PA supported President Trump’s decision.

You will see the women in niqabs. All black covers. If you look at them you will see the owner get angry. Wouldn’t surprise me to see the next massacre of infidels come from town. I like to sit next them and stare. It gets them so pissed off.
Ask them “Sister, what parish are you from? I went to _____” . Hilarity will ensue!
