Typical Arabic/Islamist/Muslim stupidity.

The idiots can't come up with an original idea on their own, so they hijack everything western, then call us decadent.

Bunch of moon-bat pedophiles.

May the fleas of a thousand camels inhabit their armpits.

"Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?"
"No."
"Ham?"
"No."
"Pork chops?"
"Dad, those all come from the same animal."
"Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal."

Mona: Omar your home from the power plant early, how come?

Omar: Awwww. I failed in my Jihad today! I tried to detonate my suicide belt and it wouldn't go off. Someone has my detonator caps

Badr: Oh I have them dad!

Omar: Why you little..... (starts choking)
