#1 Why liberals fell for the Muslim hoax

Fixed the headline for you Mark. I know, a different story but relevant nonetheless.

#2 Why liberals fell for the Muslim hoax

Because they're suckers?

#3 On the plus side, if some conservative wants to tweak the liberals, he can write some glaring hilarity and call himself a "Muslim l*sbian."

"I then made passionate love to another Muslim l*sbian, but our love was not to be, as she was actually an extra large black trash bag full of goat dung."

#4 "Amina often flirted with Brooks, neither of the men realizing the other was pretending to be a lësbian."

The ick factor x 1000.

#1 Interesting.

If correct, explains why Assad isn't bothering with the Kurds at the moment.
