(I'll check every item I purchase for now on -and make sure to throw back anything I find with your label [maybe candied lemons? ...what else does Yemen export but Osama Bin Ladens? Illegal Rhino horn daggers?], and encourage all to do the same.

Boycott these idiots utterly.

It is only a small group of muslims misinterpreting Islam but they all seem to have money position and education.

Totally sick.

Yemen is also the playground for American Predator operators. Attention jihadis in Yemen: beek-a-boo, we see you!
