9:10 am
whilst they share many of the same b.s. as the other patrols they've never employed the same question tactics. for the background. i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable but have come out and decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place. of all the actual actions and the shouting of people stealing bodies by anything obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to advise my muslim brothers i see you do an action that perhaps more appropriate always advise me to say what is better than many in the mainstream islam community these patrols across the concern but if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions is wrong and i'm representing. these individuals are
