ISIS Corner: A Historical Moneymaker that is Impervious to Air Raids and Sanctions

The more you learn about these pieces of garbage, the more you understand they are nothing but criminals and thugs…but, I guess in reality you cannot blame them, their so called “prophet” and “leader” was also a thief and bandit himself who robbed innocent people and called it (you guessed it) “doing God’s Will.” 

Did you ever consider the religion of Islam seriously? I mean think about it: In Christianity, it states in the Bible that Moses had to go “Up On the mountain” to talk to God, but in Islam, Mohammad had to go into a deep dark bat cave to talk to quote “god”?? Hmmmm..something does not add up there..A sneaking suspicion tells me Moses and “Mohammad” were NOT talking to the same God. -SF
