San Francisco police officer fired for private “anti-Muslim” text messages
By Robert Spencer on Apr 04, 2017 05:11 pm

Denial begins: Daily Mail highlights claim that St. Petersburg jihad murderer “didn’t say his prayers”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 04, 2017 11:00 am

The Daily Mail here again shows why it is the worst paper in the Western world.
