Good god, I hope every conservative who supported Hobby Lobby is out there counter-protesting in support of this poor manās ability to practice is religion upon other people un-infringed.

Kind of a sloppy uniform, all things considered,
Wealthy, oil rich Muslim angering Americans? Is this going to end in another āWar of Liberationā?
What could those ribbons even have been awarded for? Brunei hasnāt seen any military action since 1962. I suppose they might have sent troops to assist as U.N. peacekeepers at some point, but you donāt get medals for that afaik.

Mainly itās just crapping all over the working stiffs at the hotel who need the paycheck.
And yet I am always hearing conservatives harp on about how āliberals love Muslims.ā
