To be honest, we've never really had a huge problem with Islamic fundamentalists out here.
The fucking fundamentalist Christian ranks are growing and that - to me - is just as scary as Al Quaeda.

Well yeah, it's meaningless to those of us in the states. Maybe it worked for them and maybe it didn't. All i'm trying to say is somebody needs to take some fucking notes and man up.

It's pretty meaningless, it's been half a decade, and ain't shit happened out there. Words are useless, it's all about action.

and in 2005?

Yeah it's old, but there is your proof.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I have found reference in 2008, and 2009.

I think it's fake.
