I remember years ago, during the George W. Bush […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 14, 2018 12:40 pm

He was too fat to work, but not too fat to support the jihad. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, […]
