Allah knows if you start bending light, bending your brother can't be far behind.
Whackos.
They're afraid of the Leprechaun at the end of the rainbow sitting on his pot of gold handing out gay propaganda pamphlets.
I wonder if advertising schawarma would lead people to start sexing goats... or maybe it already has?
