Obama insists that “Islam is a religion that preaches peace and the overwhelming majority of Muslims are peaceful.”
But this is what a Muslim ambassador told two U.S. diplomats who asked why Muslims keep attacking Americans, Jews and Christians:
“It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.“
Oh, did fail to mention the diplomats were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams and the year was 1785?

Good point. We should bomb Iran, invade Syria, declare war on Russia. Did I miss anything?

I just don’t understand why we insist on providing them with scads of oil money. Oh yea, I forgot. Bubba has an inalienable right to run his monster pickup on subsidized gas. And the roads should be socialized because Conservatives don’t believe in a gas tax which actually pays for the roads.
