KCFleming म्हणाले...: Whenever anyone ask a question like "what exactly should be done...?," I am reminded of What Is to Be Done?, the 1902 book that led to the state murder of more than 100 million in the 20th century.

I know it's not what you meant, pp.

But ignorance of it is no excuse. Militant Islam has a centuries long track record of violence that extends to this day. Surely you see that.

And the nexus between the American multicultural left and Islam is dangerous. Wordpress blogs pointing that out are not.; ३०/१२/११, ६:४९ AM
