He wasn’t concerned about his mother’s health when he committed his crimes. I hate bleeding heart liberals. They are a danger to all of us.

The Muzzie mentored others and introduced them to the joys of Islam and Jihad. I will bet, THAT is his remarkable service. Libtards equate a Christian conversion and an Islamic one.
