Good.
However it is 100% certain she will file a lawsuit.

These seem to be the faces that America prefers for her future. Total idiocy.

“”Good. It’s about time civilization started pushing back against Islam.””
Let’s make this the beginning of a trend and follow through until the pukes - ALL OF THEM-ANYWHERE-ANY ISSUE - get tired of trying to wear us down over their picayune issues....until the equally pukey politicians get the message we have had it and they better start looking for meaningful employment elsewhere.

“relinquishing of self.”
I get it…and nice cover.
The individuals have “relinquished self” to the greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of civilization. They belong to a greater and longer running force than a tiny, upstart, fractured, relatively-new, republic. Their demands are being witnessed daily.

A better question might be why this little Muzzie prick was allowed to be in the Citadel.

You break down so that you can build back up.Yeah that IS the traditional military formula. However, I fear that it may fall about 1200 years short. If the kid is working on memorizing the Qur'an then the odds are excellent that any amount of patriotic conditioning in favor of the United States of America and it's Constitutional Republic will be successful. There are numerous examples, (bloody examples) to prove this theory.

I’m sure you are right. I have to ask myself what a female Muslim is even doing applying to the Citadel. Political activism springs to mind.
