"What has she done to bring down the wrath of Allah? Ms. Azad’s boyfriend is Hindi, a non-Muslim."

CHANGE! Obama Adminstration Approved Business With Blacklisted Nations

Gateway Pundit  "We’re starting to see a pattern here…

"When the Honduran people rose against their socialist tyrant, he supported the tyrant."
