That damn YouTube video...(shakes fist)
After he beheads Foley, the masked executioner presents to the camera another journalist, Steven Joel Soltoff, who worked for Time and The National Interest. Soltoff was reported missing in the middle of last year.
Not a word from Obama nor any of the vast number of peaceful muslims.
Under Sharia law, Michael Brown would still be alive. Because he would be forced to attend some Muslim school after his violent rap was released.
ISIS is right, America has too much freedom.
This is none of Reason's business. They're going to free trade the Islamic State to death.
The "islamic" male: Willfully ignorant, breathtakingly violent and the scourge of humanity.
We tolerate this vile cult called "islam" at our peril.
(Interestingly, my spellcheck tried to capitalize "islam". No, I shall NOT capitalize it and show it the least bit of respect.)
But gosh, shouldn't we have open borders and mind our own business when it comes to these peaceful foreigners that are simply seeking a better life in our country?
OJFC. Read Blowback, you ignorant slut.
