ISLAM means SUBMIT.

Someone should ask the rival about that factoid.

Do you know anything about Daniel Webster? He was a brilliant conservative leader in the Florida state Senate. He led the conservative revolution that has guided the state through recovery from years of democratic machine politics.

Whom are you talking about? You LIKE Grayson? His “rival” is Webster. Read the full quote from Webster. Don’t accept the selectively edited snips that Grayson used in this idiotic advert. Grayson is clearly a psychotic.

There is no such thing as a “factoid” . “-oid” means like, so it would be “like a fact”, and therefore NOT a fact. A humanoid is not quite human. Originally “factoid” was an ironic term indicating that the “fact” being offered was not actually factual. However, CNN and other stupid ass sources have taken to treating the “-oid” as if it were a mere diminutive, and using the term to mean “trivial but true fact.” So this invented word means a questionable or spurious—unverified, incorrect, or fabricated—statement presented as a fact, but with no veracity.

So, when YOU say “Islam means submit” is a factoid, you are either trying to be clever with an agenda, or completely wrong.
It is the latter- Islam translates from arabic to english as meaning “submission”.
Do I have your motivation or meaning in posting this wrong?
