But as long as the current asshole is still the White House , expect to see increased muslim immigration whether you approve or not and increased building of mosques, even on quiet, sleepy neighborhood streets. It’s absolutely disgusting and so is he.
No Muslim immigration until Muslim countries treat Christians and Jews with respect. Not the slightest hope of that happening…
You got that right Anna, we need to revoke the religious status for Islam until all Moslem nations allow other religions to build Churches and to covert people.
