Confronted
with pure evil in the form of ISIS, President Barack Obama treats the jihadists

violence committed in its name and in accord with its literal teachings. Take,
for example, a Muslim from Seattle, Ali Muhammad Brown who is "currently
in jail on $5 million bail for the alleged murder of a college student in late

and King Street in Seattle's Leschi neighborhood on June 1." And he is "now
the prime suspect in a fourth homicide." [more...]
