They’d almost have you thinking that all this had something to do with Islam. They’d almost have you thinking that they’re aware that the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an.

By Robert Spencer on Jun 21, 2015 02:17 pm

“They also blamed ‘oppressive police surveillance’ for the fact that the sisters and their nine children aged three to 15, had left the UK.” If they hadn’t been watched, they wouldn’t have done anything worth watching, you see.

By Robert Spencer on Jun 21, 2015 04:11 am
