Converts to and Misunderstanders of Islam, and their children and children’s children. From Germany, but now living in the Hindu Kush. But remember: resistance to jihad and Islamic supremacism is racism! “The Third Generation: German Jihad Colonies Sprout Up in Waziristan,” by Yassin Musharbash, Marcel Rosenbach and Holger Stark for…
I have never identified myself as a “neo-conservative” because belonging to a younger political generation I did not share some of the social attitudes of the neo-conservative founders.
