Its legal for me to say the f word out loud right, now imagine i sit in front of your house saying f… f…. f…. f…. f…. f…. in front of your 4 daughters aged 8, 9, 10 11 all day and as soon as they ecit the house. You must be a low life not to react.
Its a fair game if you already know the outcome is gonna be death, but you prefere to buy few years of fame with your life. Its a simple matter.
America has become a third world country! Thanks to the Democrats!
Whistles and walks away.
If you don't like something don't read it, protest but violence is unacceptable; horrific attack on an elderly man; please remember most muslim people do not agree with this way of dealing with situations they don't like
Nice attack
Why are people supporting a satanist? Hadi stabbed a soldier of lucifer.
Western NY. Stop calling us Upstate, it's not.
Religion of peace?!? Islamophobia is Common Sense! Christians and Jews world wide must wake up to this reality! Under the guise of "minority" these radicals get their way till they get to 30% in any region – then the shariya law, ethnic cleansing, jaziya tax on non-muslims, economic sanctions on non-muslim businesses (halal/haram) begins and leading up to coercion and killing (jihad). So many countries have witnessed it – Persia was destroyed, Afghanistan (a buddist nation) is in shambles, Lebanon was 80% christians in 1940s and now is a terrorist state… how many more examples do we need?!? Its only a matter of decades for Scandanavian nations, belgium to become muslim nations.. Islamophobia is Common Sense my fellow Christians and Jews! wake up!
muslin man drops weapons and runs from Taliban but nearly 80 yr old defenseless man is rushed on stage by same
muslin man yelling "Allah,, Allah you pay my rent"
Well done he deserves all who make fun of our prophet
Immigrants bring their problems with them. Be careful who you let in.
The reporter looks like Dana Bash.
fake propaganda, so after 12 stabs he survived 🤣
How long our freedome of expression will permiting to hurt feelings of other religions, if one dont like a religion just stop following them and leave them alone and stop hurting them , instead of hurting their feelings be more civilized to stop pushing our planet earth towards more hostility.
This proves that Quran is a Bad Book
Iran government 💩💩
Religion of peace.
Provoking some community is an irresponsible act. It is no freedom of expression.
no Muslim leader criticized the attack
This man face looks DEVIL
But the curse will never leave him even if he survives this time.
To any Muslims reading this, I’ve just drawn the prophet Mohammed – and wrote a book about how he’s a nonce. Come get me. 👨🏾
