One day soon, our planes and missiles will begin turning your mosques, your madrasses, your hotels, your government offices, your hideouts, and your neighborhoods into rubble.<\/p>\n\n

And then our soldiers will enter your cities and begin the work of killing you, roaches, as you crawl from the debris.<\/p>\n\n

As cowards, you will have your hands in the air and you will get on your knees begging for mercy. And we will instead give you justice. Your actions and your words long ago placed you far from any considerations of mercy. You are not men.<\/p>\n\n

We will burn your mosques.<\/p>\n\n

We will invade the offices of pro-arab-muslim organizations, destroy them, and drag their officers outside.<\/p>\n\n

We will transport arab-muslims to our deserts, where they can pray to scorpions under the blazing sun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
