  1. Hey Noor,...Egypt doesn't require intervention or sanctions, yet Syria does? That last pic not only offends me, it makes we want to go down to the local synagogue of satan and KICK SOME YIDDISH ASS!

  2. I hear you loud and clear about the intervention and sanctions. We know by now that America only intervenes when things are NOT as they want it and the complete destabilization of Egypt for sake of oncoming war is just what the buzztards of Israel and America want.

    Destabilization is the name of the game and they play it from both sides of the struggles that they have created in the first place.

    What you see in Egypt is exactly what they want to see in Syria and in both cases they play behind the scenes to bring it about.

    Israel wants the Sinai back and part of the Greater Israel that means part of Egypt as well. How else they gonna get it? Installing the repulsive Brotherhood whom the people do NOT want so that they can further create the "clash of civilizations".

  3. Oh and yes, that last shot really repulsed me almost as much as some of the bloody atrocities of Cast Lead because it showed the filth of the military at its finest.

    You KNOW they were publicly stripping her to humiliate her whilst getting their dirty jollies. The one about to stomp her, well... there is nothing to be said.... All I thought was... these guys must have learned their ways from the IDF....

    May Almighty God, Dieu Tout-Puissant, Allah azza wa jal, strike down the terrorists who are all of the Freemasonic elite in the halls of power. May Almighty God fortify His people with courage and His Truth and free us all from bondage.
