Pathetic.

I cannot believe that the numbers that viewed this thread are such cowardly people that no one dared reply.

<t>Let us be honest. Islamï¿½s ideology is immoral to its core. Should we ask the Haigue and U.N. to rule on the free world's first duty to the world. Should we declare war against this immoral ideology? Our collective leadership must lead by honor. Honor demands the first duty of all fre...
