“CAIR Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab: There Is A Billion Dollar Coordinated Effort To Scare Americans About ‘Imaginary Shari’a Law’—A Boogeyman To Distract From Discontent With Israel; This Was The Same After 9/11; Zionists Use Their Own People As Human Shields, Hide Behind Antisemitism,” MEMRI, October 23, 2026:

I am really sick and tired of these scuzzy muzzie liars. He is just another snake lying and slithering to avoid admitting the facts….which he is fully aware that he and the others of his viper pit want to do…..subjugate us all to his wild beast.
