Any pics of the severed heads of little babies hitting the sand!...../sarc

[I want the USA back]

More of the “noble savage” crap - a delusion whereby a liberal thinks that an uncivilized savage is really a cultured, dignified individual - just misunderstood.

queer muslims? i hope the photographer appreciates the freedom and security given by the west. her unity mosque is asking to be bombed by a terrorist.

[BenLurkin]

Never heard of queer Muslims......oh wait....ther is one....

These photos came from a Nat Geo article on child marriage in Islam.

They may not have known about when the constitution was ratified, but they certainly knew later. It’s why we sent marines to tripoli in the first overse as military action

“The conversations I would have with other queer Muslims

The only place these creatures exist is in large, liberal Western cities. And the "Muslim" part is just another way to be different and rebel. If these queer Muslims went to the Middle East, they'd be tortured to death.

“Islam is a gutter religion. The religion of the ignorant, savages, miscreants.”

“I used to be Lew Alcindor, the pale reflection of what white America expected of me. Now I’m Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the manifestation of my African history, culture and beliefs.”

You are absolutely right. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar poster child
for ignorance.

Is that a boy or a lady? I don’t know which. Frank Zappa “Bobby Brown”

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

As awful as islam is, it is attracting young white European ancestry people

Thirty or forty years ago this was unthinkable. In those days you would almost never meet a white convert to islam. And if you did, he was some kind of kook. Islam had no attraction for rational westerners. What changed? The rational part, for one.

I hate BBall. Loathe it. Yet my HS home room teacher and religion teacher at my Bronx Catholic HS insisted we go to a big game (he was a coach, Brother Christopher). Those who failed to show failed religion (required course). I went to the best big game v Power Memorial Academy. their star was some guy named Lew Alcindor. My school beat Alcindor’s team that night. I still hate basketball.

I think it may be a “woman”.....trying to imitate a man who sort of imitated a woman....
