Hey, here's a good idea. Let's bring millions of these people in to America and let them loose. Then let's give them lifetime welfare benefits and affirmative action preferences in everything. After that we'll let them use their customary Sharia Law, although we'll claim it is just for "them".

What could possibly go wrong with a great plan like that?

They are a pack of inbred, mentally defective, evil followers of satan. Do these idiots know what they look like to sane people? Enough coddling of these filthy things. Cannot even refer to them as people or human because they are neither.

Oh my, these must be the “radicalized” ones according to Obama and the rest of the political elite.

Our media will be full of pictures and stories such as these once the Black House cockroach signs his executive order to shove hundreds of thousands MORE of these animals into our nation, now reduced to pitiful status.

Life will be exciting and very interesting as we become used to such scenes in the streets of our cities and towns.

Many clueless Americans voted for hope and change to be delivered by a foreign exchange student.

See how well this experiment by electing an unknown Muslim negro has worked out for us?

I am VERY surprised that it was published by the New York Slimes!

That's the strangest part of this story...

“Unlike so many abuses against Afghan women that unfold in private, this killing in March prompted a national outcry. For Farkhunda had not burned a Quran. Instead, an investigation found, she had confronted men who were themselves dishonoring the shrine by trafficking in amulets and, more clandestinely, Viagra and condoms.

At first, the trial and convictions that followed seemed a victory in the long struggle to give Afghan women their due in a court of law. But a deeper look suggests otherwise. The fortuneteller who several investigators believe set the events in motion was found not guilty on appeal. The shrine’s custodian, who concocted the false charge of Quran burning and incited the mob, had his death sentence commuted. Police officers who failed to send help and others who stood by received slaps on the wrist, at most. Some attackers identifiable in the videos avoided capture altogether. Afghan lawyers and human rights advocates agree that most of the accused did not receive fair trials. Farkhunda’s family, fearing reprisals and worried that the killers would not be held accountable, fled the country.”

You're right... no words.
