I mean, I get that fried chicken might not be PREPARED in a halal fashion there, but there's a pretty sizeable distinction between fried chicken as a whole not being halal and availability of halal fried chicken, but seriously.

“Yeah, the gangs are a threat,” answered the officer. “But they don’t have 1.5 billion members.”

Yeah, and guess which of the above groups routinely shoots people in neighborhoods all over the US? *eyetwitch*

That afternoon, Kharoba offered more tips on how to detect violent Muslims.

That gif is FANTASTIC.

Yeah; it makes me fearful that any cop I encounter will have attended one of these "trainings."

“When you have a Muslim that wears a headband, regardless of color or insignia, basically what that is telling you is ‘I am willing to be a martyr.’”
