“Muhammad was a jackass. People who believe in him are stupid. Let us call a spade as spade. These people must be laughed at. They, and their screwball prophet have to be ridiculed not respected.

They must be set free and the only way to do that is to demolish their fetish.”

In doing so, you'll be happy and I think your people will be happy listening to what you do.”

It is the smile of nature quietly and proudly asserting its natural right to kill.”
