Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Women’s March organizer Linda Sarsour makes Islamic State signal

Jan 24, 2017 12:22 pm By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: It turns out that Sarsour made that gesture not to signify her own allegiance to the Islamic State, but as a signal of defiance after several Brooklyn College students were photographed making it when Pamela Geller spoke there a couple of years ago. Here is Sarsour’s caption to the photo:

Pamela Geller recently was given a platform to spew hate and misinformation at Brooklyn College, thankfully booed off the stage. After the event, she circulated a picture of Muslim Brooklyn College students holding up their index fingers and associated them with terrorists. As a result of her outrageous claims, these young people have felt targeted and threatened. For me, it meant you are #1, cause you had the courage to stand up to her! I stand in solidarity with them and want them to know that they should never let an evil woman like Geller make them feel less than. Stay proud, stay strong. We got your back. #PamHates #indexfingers#OneLove #UnityAtBC #takeonhate

Here is the photo of the Brooklyn College students:

Sarsour doesn’t explain why these students were not intending to make the Islamic State gesture; she just assumes it. As I said below about Sarsour: “It strains credulity to think that a Muslim as committed and informed as Linda Sarsour in January 2017  would not know its significance as a sign of support for the Islamic State.” It likewise strains credulity that these students did not know the significance of the gesture. A Muslim who is horrified by the Islamic State’s atrocities should be careful at this time not to make this gesture. Those who do not do so are deliberately inviting suspicion.

—–

Linda Sarsour (more about her here) is clearly making the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State in this photo: the upraised index finger. The signal of the index finger held up is, of course, used in myriad contexts, and Muslims in general have used it as a sign of allegiance to tawhid, Islam’s absolute monotheism. However, in recent years it has become very much associated with allegiance to jihad groups, particularly the Islamic State. This signal has been known to be a sign of allegiance to the Islamic State for almost as long as there has been an Islamic State. It has been described as the group’s “ubiquitous hand signal.”

It strains credulity to think that a Muslim as committed and informed as Linda Sarsour in January 2017  would not know its significance as a sign of support for the Islamic State. Her defenders will no doubt heap scorn upon those who note this, and say it’s just a universal sign of being Muslim. To affirm that is to ignore a multitude of photographs of jihadis and news stories that have been published over the last three years. Linda Sarsour, in making this gesture, had to know what she was implying, and how Muslims the world over would understand it. She also could count on the credulity and willful ignorance of her Leftist allies to make sure that she would suffer no damage to her role as a civil rights heroine.

“Organizer For DC Women’s March Against Trump Pictured Flashing the ISIS Sign,” by Joe Hoft, Gateway Pundit, January 23, 2017:

A picture of one of the organizers for the DC Women’s March is making the rounds on social media.

Linda Sansour is seen flashing the ISIS sign.

Hundreds of thousands of mostly female protesters participated in a ‘Women’s March’ in D.C. on Saturday.

As noted previously, one of the organizers, Linda Sarsour is a Pro-Palestine Muslim activist.

She also advocates for Sharia Law in America and has ties to terrorist organization, Hamas….

        That’s his Alinskyite persona, page 1.

        Alinskyites are exactly like other commies and atheists with one departure: They prize the use of deception in bringing about the revolution. An Alinskyite will never ever state that they wish to overthrow the gov’t, or establish atheism as the state religion. Instead, they constantly pretend to be Christian, and always everywhere ’embrace’ the middle class (the demographic which delivers the most votes): https://youtu.be/f8Oz2-tkJq8

      Jan 24, 2017 at 2:39 pm

      THAT is the big deal. Why do we have such people sitting in positions of power and influence in our country?? Islam isn’t simply a religion. It is also a state with its own government, its own constitution, and its own law, its own govt centers (the mosques), and its own military. Just because this state does not yet have a land to rule on, does not mean that it is not capable of ruling if they see the opportunity.

      And this parallel state is a rival that hates and seeks to overthrow the existing state, the existing constitution, and take the land for itself [to rule on]. That is, it is an enemy state!

      When people call themselves ‘Muslim’ and raise the index finger, as Linda Sarsour has done, they literally call themselves citizens of this rival state. When they meet other Muslims they don’t simply see a co-religionist, they also see a fellow citizen of that Islamic state. Hence just as Americans are citizens of USA, the Dutch are citizens of Netherlands, the Ummah are citizens of this Islamic state.

      So if Americans think that it is no big deal to have citizens of a foreign enemy state to have positions of power and influence in the US, the problem is with Americans, not the enemy. It is Americans who need to make their thinking straight and act accordingly.

    Thuggish street gang. They have hand signals, so does the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. In Egypt they have a 3 finger one and another one. We may not understand this in the west, but this is when non-believers get impaled or tortured.

    This kind of “defiance” against the unbeliever, is what Christian/Jewish other dhimmis and non-persons had to face under Islam for over a thousand years. A stupid, creepy thieving baby.

    Now that Trump is president, the Left will more openly embrace Islamic supremacism and jihad terrorism. I expect many more Lohan, Lindh, Gadahn moments as borderline personalities and leftist radicals jump in with both feet.

    As Robert said, Sarsour will be embraced and protected by the Left for expressing her Islamic supremacist tahwid belief and implicit support for Islamic State and other jihad groups. Tawhid seems relatively benign when reading a definition from books. But as applied in modern Islam it is used as a justification for declaring, for one example, Christians to be polytheists, thereby making spilling their blood halal.

      The Radical Left has always had this bond of solidarity with Radical Islam, this is nothing new.
      Obama stated he was a community organizer and the public still voted for him, no realizing this bond. Most did not have a clue what a community organizer was. Vanguard of the Communist Revolution USA.

    Nice representative in women’s rights they have in Sarsour. Foul mouthed, terror supporter. For a muslimah who claims like they all do who wears the hijab for “modesty” she sure has that makeup troweled on pretty thick too.

    I’ve seen this quote on other sites but here it is: This apparently is her response to someone who inquired where she was from (she claims she replied in this manner because she was tired of the question)

    https://warsclerotic.com/category/womens-march/

    “Do you not see me?… I’m tired…My name is Linda…F**k you, what the f**k is your problem asshole, where the f**k are you from?”

    Look in the mirror, Sarsour, there’s the real a..whole.

    Dear Americans, please be aware that Linda Sarsour is wearing a hijab and is attired in the Islamic manner as well as raising her index finger as a sign of TAWHEED (Allah is one) of ISIS . This means that Linda Sarsour is SHARIA Compliant. Not a SINGLE female among the hundreds of thousands demonstrating against President Trump at the behest of Linda Sarsour has two brain cells of logic because under Sharia EVERY female on Earth is just one little step higher up the ladder of evolution than Domestic Animals.

    Furthermore, since most probably at least 90% of those demonstrating are NOT Muslims but are Infidels/ Kuffar, they are therefore supporting the Muslim Linda Sarsour and Islam the very enemies of ALL none Muslim humanity; their own mortal enemies.

    Now I ask the most relevant question of all time~

    CAN A MUSLIM BE A LOYAL AMERICAN CITIZEN?

    This article is for all those Politically Correct dim wits and their liberal retards. I hope that all those who LOVE their country to read it from start to finish and send it on to others. One can replace American with any other none Muslim nationality on Earth and the result is the same.

    To make sure readers appreciate how accurate my article is, I challenge anyone – especially Keith Ellison, CAIR, ISNA, AMJA and Linda Sarsour – the sum of $100,000 to prove me wrong.

    Theologically – NO. . . Because Muslims submit is only to Allah – originally the name of the supreme rock god of Pagan Arabia- and hence most definitely not the same as the God of Jesus, Moses or Abraham.

    Religiously – NO. . . Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Submission to Allah).

    Al Imran 3: 85 “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost”

    Scripturally – NO. . . Because a Muslim’s allegiance is to Sharia based upon Muhammad’s Quran and Sunna.

    Textually – NO … Because Muhammad’s Quran is Hatemongering, Warmongering, Misogynist, Racist, Intolerant, Duplicitous, Hypocritical & hence UNGODLY.

    Geographically – NO. . . Because a Muslim bows in reverence to Mecca in Arabia, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

    Socially – NO. . . Because the Muslim’s devotion to Islam forbids him from ever making friends with Christians and Jews (or ANY other none Muslims) ~

    Al Mai’da 5: 51 “O ye who believe! take not the Jews [Yahood] and the Christians [Nasara] for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…”

    Al Tauba 9: 29 “Fight [qatiloo] those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth [ISLAM] (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians & Jews] until they pay the Jizya [onerous penalty for not being a Muslim] with willing submission and feel themselves humiliated”

    Loyally – NO … Because a Muslim’s allegiance is primarily to ALL other Muslims all over the globe and no one else.

    Ishaq:231 “Muslims are one Ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders.”

    Politically – No. . . Because Muslims must submit to the mullahs (spiritual Leaders), who teach equal opportunity HATRED for ALL those who are not followers of Muhammad (currently 80% of humanity called Ummat al Kuffar/ Nation of Infidels) as well as calls for the destruction of America, The Great Satan.

    Al Fath 48: 13 “And if any believe not in Allah and His Apostle We have prepared for those who reject Allah a Blazing Fire!”

    Domestically – No. . . Because the male Muslim is instructed to marry up to four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him

    Al Nisaa 4:34 “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other and because they support them from their means. … As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct admonish them; refuse to share their beds; beat them …”

    Legally – No. . . Because Muslims are FORBIDDEN by Muhammad’s Quran from accepting the American Constitution as binding since it is not from Allah’s Sharia as well as Muslims believe the Bible is corrupted.

    Culturally- NO… Because Muslims belong to a culture that prefers Death more than Life.

    Ibrahim 14: 3 “Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance”

    Constitutionally – No. . . Because Sharia is the nemesis of Democracy; it does not allow for freedoms of religion, expression or belief. Democracy and Islam is an oxymoron; a state of affairs that cannot possibly co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial, autocratic or theocratic and hence dysfunctional.

    Spiritually – No. . . Because the USA declares ‘one nation under God.’ The Christians’ God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99 excellent attributes.

    1400 years ago Muhammad declared to his followers that “Silence means CONSENT”

    This is why American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about all the world wide atrocities allegedly committed by so called ‘radical’ Muslims.

    Not once has there been a major demonstration – whether in Europe or the USA – by the so called ‘silent majority’ Muslims expressing their revulsion at acts of terror committed by these alleged ‘radicals’ shouting out loud “NOT IN OUR NAME!”

    Therefore, after much study and deliberation…. Perhaps Americans should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in their country.

    Muslims obviously cannot be BOTH ‘good’ Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you will, these are the FACTS based entirely in chapter and verse upon their Islamic scriptures.

    Americans had better believe it because the more who understand these realities, the better it will be for Americans and their future generations.

    This is NOT a clash of Civilizations but a clash of Beliefs.

    Footnote: Muslims have PUBLICLY and repeatedly declared their intention to destroy the USA from within.

      Um.. Your interpretation is all wrong sir. You’re spinning them into something they’re not. It’s all about context, obviously if you use the wrong context it’ll sound extreme. Unless you have objectively dedicated sufficient time to properly study this, you have no grounds to criticize and make false accusations. It’s actions like this that make the world suck a hateful place.
      You are criticizing Islam for its animosity while showing animosity towards them. Hypocrisy much?
      Be the bigger person, why not demonstrate the “peaceful” teachings of your religion, Christianity or whatever it is by being kind. Be a bigger person and stop spreading hate.

      Have you ever even talked to a real Muslim? Not a person who claims Islam and spreads around incorrect information to spark hate, I mean a real Muslim. A neighbor. A co-worker. A friend. A classmate? You’ll see that they truly aren’t all as bad as you make them out to be. Give it a chance. Open your heart to love and peace. Don’t give in to hate, it’ll consume you and you’ll become obsessed with trying to make the Muslims out as the bad guys when the only bad is the darkness in your soul.

      If you want to talk more I wouldn’t mind giving an email address or maybe a number. Maybe we can put aside differences and listen to each other. I’m tired of all the hate. I’m a Muslim and I’ve been reading the articles on the website and I’m appalled at all the false accusations.

      Hope you are well.

          You should know them very well, since you’ve obviously weeded out only those verses which work to your benefit, misinterpreting them and manipulating them how you please.

          That and I am no scholar, I have read the Quran numerous times but I am an engineering students. My abilities are better suited for mathematical purposes 🙂

          However if there are any verses you find “promoting of evil”, I can do my best to dispel any incorrect pretenses.

          Here is a verse that I like:
          “And worship Allah and associate naught with Him, and show kindness to parents, and to kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and to the neighbor that is a kinsman and the neighbor that is a stranger, and the companion by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allah loves not the proud and the boastful.”(4:37)

          No offense taken

          You are OBVIOUSLY a very decent person who is unwilling to accept Facts and Reality about Islam

          Google ABROGATION and you will find out that ALL the nice and conciliatory verses of Muhammad’s Quran from the MECCA Period have been ABROGATED ( made NULL & VOID) by the Warmongering Hatemongering LATER verses from the MEDINA Period.

          You cannot tell us that we (Infidels) are perverting the meaning of Abrogation since it is in the Quran

          Surah 2:106: None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?
          and the foremost Muslim scholars agree that the LATER verses of the Quran Abrogate the EARLIER ones

          Simple example that I would like you to ponder and explain away~

          2:256 “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.”

          4:89 “They wish that you should reject faith as they reject faith, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.”

          Sahih Bukhari (52:260) – “…The Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’ ”

          All the Muslims I know are real and genuine, they are good people who take part in the community, hold jobs, and help society among other things. If only you could all meet them I assure you, the majority of Muslims arent how the media makes them out to be.

          And don’t worry much about us. When we see that Muslims no longer kill and terrorize, and no longer seem to want to subdue others and no longer want to make Sharia dominant, we will quit this site and go do fun things. Maybe we will go play golf with Obama.

          Isn’t this an assumption though? We can’t know for sure, and simply accusing him without hard evidence is just grounds for causing unnecessary problems. It seemed to me like he was just clarifying the complexity of the term.
          Nonetheless, no harm done.

    • Anya says

      Jan 29, 2017 at 2:12 am

      4:89 was meant to be a specific instruction to a specific period of time, today it is more of a story of what had happened and how God expected the Muslims to deal with it. It does not apply to anything happening today unless the conditions and circumstances are exactly the same.

      The verse is referring to hypocrites who betrayed them in times of war and as a result, brought harm to them. Its not saying to slay anyone who doesn’t follow in the same religion (that would be the same as forcing them to believe against their will which is forbidden).

      “Until they emigrate in the way of God” doesnt only refer to believers, it also refers to people who have peace with Muslims, people who have made a pact to keep peace.
      “If they turn their backs” refers to people who break that pact for peace, then it is ok to fight them.

      The verse following that (4:90): “Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had Allah willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allah has opened no way for you against them.”
      This further clarifies that ANYONE who comes to you in peace, you have no right whatsoever to fight them.

      As for the last saying (those who revert should be killed): I am not sure if I have the necessary qualifications to properly explain this, but I’ll do it to the best of my abilities. This is basically a guarantee, it’s to make sure you don’t join the religion unless you are 100% sure you believe, no half-ass promises (excuse my language). It should be noted that this saying is man made, it did not come from the Quran.

      It is also significant that the Quran refers to apostasy several times and yet does not prescribe any punishment for it. It is thus a natural conclusion to draw that the absence of any legal penalty for apostasy in the Quran means that God never intended any such penalty to become part of Islamic Shari‘ah.
      The evidence against any legally prescribed penalty for apostasy in Islam does not rest only on the fact that the Quran does not prescribe any such penalty while referring to the subject of apostasy many times. We can go further and state that:

      a)There is no mandatory death penalty in the Quran for any crime.

      b) The death penalty for apostasy in fact conflicts with the Quran.
      The truth of the above statements can be seen by examining the verses: (5:32-33, 45, 2:178 and 4:88-91.)

      So I would conclude by saying that it isnt in our hands to judge the actions of another person, we are not perfect and so we do not have the right to decide that another person’s life should be terminated.

      My, keeping up with all these blogs and having discussions is tiring. I commend you for your stamina!

        Anya

        You have the right to your own OPINIONS but not the right to declare that your knowledge is superior to all the foremost scholars of Islam

        You tell us that the verses you quoted for a certain period of time only BUT

        Al Tauba 9:29 “Fight [qatiloo] those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle [Muhammad] nor acknowledge the religion of truth [ISLAM] (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians & Jews] until they pay the Jizya [onerous Tax for not being a Muslim] with willing submission and feel themselves humiliated”

        *** Just to make sure that our readers believe what I am revealing, I would like to put forth a challenge worth $200,000 to the first person who can show us all a SINGLE operative verse in Muhammad’s Quran that demonstrates any Compassion & Mercy to all UNBELIEVERS/Kuffar!

        Currently, Unbelievers represent 80% of humanity: All Christians Buddhists Hindus Jews Atheists Agnostics etc. That is any and all those who are NOT Muslims! $200,000 for just ONE verse from among over 6200 verses in Muhammad’s Quran!***

        Al Mai’da 5: 51 “O ye who believe (Muslims)! take not the Jews [Yahood] and the Christians [Nasara] for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other.
        And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…”

        *** The implications of the last sentence is of immense importance “And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…” meaning that any followers of Muhammad who befriend or under the rule of Christians or Jews (or any none Muslim group) would be considered Apostates to Islam, outsiders to Islam, enemies of Islam who must be slaughtered.

        In a nutshell, no Muslim in the USA (or any none Muslim country) can ever be loyal to the American Constitution because it is Man Made NOT from Allah’s Sharia nor can any Muslim in the USA (or any none Muslim country) be a loyal citizen because none Muslim Americans are called Infidels/ Kuffar/ Unbelievers/ Kafiroon to be either subjugated or exterminated***

        You are under the impression that Muslims fought in SELF DEFENSE! If so then WHY did the Muslim Arabs INVADE India, China, Africa and Europe?

        You are trying to defend the least defensible CULT belief system by ignoring all Facts and Reality in the Arabic of the Quran and the BLOODY history of Islam

    Sarsour is certainly the master of double entendre, both verbal and visual. To convince US women who actually have all citizen’s rights under US law, that Muslimas are victims of discrimination, while supressing the fact that Muslimas do not have those rights under Islam, or in their own homes – is indeed, masterful.

    Saturday’s demonstrators had no idea they were being exploited; believing no sister demonstrator or organizer could be that dishonest. Ignorance is so exploitable.

    It is always amazing how Islamic supremacists manage to leach onto leftist movements and organizations — though they represent forces and a philosophy which would have all these leftists jailed or killed or enslaved. This never ceases to amaze me. That photo that was posted here on Jihad Watch with the Islamic supremacist holding a pro Islam sign right beside a woman holding a “no misogyny” sign was the insanity in a nutshell. And that caption: “Some people’s balloons never land.” was perfect.

    • Don McKellar says

      Jan 24, 2017 at 1:41 pm

      Looked it up, it was an “I love Islam” T-shirt on a moslem next to a brain-dead leftist holding a “no misogyny” sign. Linda Sarsour must love that photo and it gives her a lot of dark laughs.

      • Rustle says

        Jan 25, 2017 at 3:35 am

        Then there’s that photograph of the British muslim protestor holding a sign which said Down With Free Speech.

        You can stare at that for a long in wonder because it is a
        wonder of the age.

        Al-din Sarsour, smiling and waving to us at the gate of the barbed-wire compound:

        “Come, Sharia will make you free”.

        And all the women walked, flowed through.

        A wonder of the age.

    Her buddy, the Maoist Van Jones, was on CNN today praising her to the sky, saying how ‘islamaphobes’ are lying etc..

    Women’s March drew millions; Will the momentum continue? And what happened to a Muslim protestor? Van Jones gives his take to anchor Lynda Kinkade on CNN’s Connect the World:

      BTW, back in the ‘Seventies, the raised index finger meant, “One Way: Jesus”, and a lot of us “Jesus freaks” used to flash it quite a bit. Then again, we weren’t into blowing things (or ourselves) up!

      i wonder what direction the momentum … considering the “quality” of the participants … could these demonstrations be designed to make males disgusted with women? and so disgusted with so many who were actually behaving in ugly style that no/fewer males would come to their defense once the rapist start their assaults?

  15. Voytek Gagalka says

    Jan 24, 2017 at 2:02 pm

    That sign should be treated as open admittance to foreign (alien, enemy) ideology, as the one of Nazi gesture was. No further proof should be needed, no justification or appeasing “explanation” allowed as an excuse. At least that woman should be put immediately on the top watch list if not (yet) subject to outright expulsion or imprisonment.

        Yes–not so long ago this sign was used by Christians, but when used by Muslims it is *always* supremacist and often threatens violence.

        I can remember devout Christian Giants relief pitcher Brian Wilson using the gesture when he got a save–I would not have imagined it being used a few years later for the Islamic State.

        https://sharinhislove.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/brian-wilson-crossing.jpg

        For him it meant both “Jesus is Lord” and was a shout out to his dad, who had died just before his baseball career really took off.

    I’m afraid the comment about the political left and the pro-Islamic forces rushing to join camps is correct.

    Probably influenced by “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” theory, I suppose. Look at the embrace of Keith Ellison as the future of the DNC. In the long run I don’t think this will work because the goals of Islam are being increasingly exposed as antithetical to American freedom and democracy. Part of the reason for Clinton’s defeat was that people were uneasy about having Huma Abedin in the White House.

    Truly progressive and intelligent women (if these are not mutually exclusive terms) should be ashamed of their lack of curiosity about the true nature of Islam and Sharia. They must be really desperate to hook up with known supporters of terrorism.

    • PRCS says

      Jan 24, 2017 at 6:33 pm

      And, in this now decades long information age, in which almost the entire U.S. population has access to a computer of some sort or another and to the Internet, their failure to research the true nature of Islam really is the result of a shameful lack of curiosity.

    Take it easy on this one. First it is her left hand ( with a watch). Note how the Jihadis do it. Right and Left hand is very important in Salafism. Second it is very common for Arabs to shake their finger when talking. Third she does not really know much. Many women (like her) in Islam see it as a protective religion. Hence there is no need to read.
    So her arguments about women in Saudi Arabia are shallow. But to her that does not matter. The religion of Islam is being attacked and therefore any point she can make is valid. In the wimin’s march they do not care about facts – it is all feelings. And I bet she smiles a lot.

  23. PRCS says

    Jan 24, 2017 at 6:49 pm

    Does her purported support for “the marginalized” extend to the Yazidi women her coreligionists took as sex slaves?

    Has she ever denounced any of Big Al’s hatreds and barbaric punishments?

    Islamic state signal?
    Yes,but I like to think that it is also their way of symbolically representing the average IQ of the islamist.
    It’s there way of communicating with us.
    Like the aliens they are….
    I choose to interpret it this way:every time the islamist gives us this signal they are
    trying to tell us how smart they are..”Look,we can count all the way up to ONE”.

  27. John A. Marre says

    Gee, I thought the Woman’s March was another triumph for President Trump. He managed to get more fat ladies out walking than Michelle Obama could in 8 years! And considering each of the 500,000 attendees probably average $1000 a piece in spending* that weekend, the march added around a half billion to the Gross National Product! Way to go Donald!

    *less cleanup costs as they were very messy marchers.
