Bangladesh: Muslim mob vandalizes Ahmadi mosque, cops say mob is too large to oppose
Yet in the West, Ahmadi spokesmen like the oleaginous Harris Zafar and the arrogant Qasim Rashid carry water for the same Islamic supremacists who would cheerfully destroy their homes and places of worship and charge them with blasphemy if they were in Bangladesh (or Pakistan or Indonesia). Instead, Zafar and Rashid target those who stand […]
