Athalia P., Dubai: "I think Islam is beyond reform. Like Churchill once said, of these countries do not give a blanket authority to UNICEF to protect Arabic women and female children, then the only other option is carpet bombing."

Ik denk dat de islam is buiten hervorming. Zoals Churchill zei ooit, van deze landen geven geen deken autoriteit om Unicef te beschermen Arabisch vrouwen en meisjes, dan is de enige andere optie is tapijt bombardementen.
