Why has the president not taken heed? Is he waiting until people get flogged publicly in the streets of DC? or women being married off to old men in Seattle? or girls's private parts being sewn together in hospitals in Atlanta? or women everywhere in the great plains being beaten for not covering? or journalists being killed for expressing themselves in New York? or synagoges, churches and temples being levelled to the ground in Detroit? or people dying by the millions rather than coverting to something they don't believe in? or kids being beaten senselessly in private homes all over america?
Islam is not the enemy but the disgusting people that use a beautiful religion to destroy others...The people in power in Saudi Arabia are the enemy, the clerics that say women must be molested and beaten daily and that anybody that is not a wahhabi must die, that is the eventual enemy that will try to destroy us, our country and our way of life Trojan-horse style.
That is not Islam, that is not God-like behaviour, that is not kindness or compassion, that would have never being permitted by the Prophet...that is not right!
I ask again: is Mr Bush blind? why has he not taken heed?
