How obnoxious do you have to be to piss off members of a real religion of peace, Buddhism?
I think we all know. As does any thinking person with a realistic view of the world.
Her father was a politician in Burma, who was a big supporter of the Japanese during WWII, while they were committing large scale genocide.
Resisting Islam is the duty of every free man.
Iran were the biggest backers of the 9/11 attack. So perhaps if Iran were still Zoroastrian? or at least if Carter didn’t back the “holy man” Khomeini over our ally the Shah?
