Swiss population: 7,739,100 Muslims in Switzerland: 4.3% Mosques: 150 Minarets: 4 And over this they passed their fascist anti-minaret law. But they have to preserve their Lebensraum, right? All those filthy foreigners destroying their pure Aryan culture… maybe they need to start learning from Bush and Obama, start building some …
I wanted to write something about Obama’s new escalation of the war in Afghanistan/Pakistan, but Cindy Sheehan said it pretty well: 30,000 Wrongs Won’t Make it Right By Cindy Sheehan I have had to reluctantly watch many presidential speeches since my son was killed in Iraq in 2004. I was …
