That Tiny Minority of Extremists sure “slammed” this poll, as Bill O’Reilly said when he weaseled out of announcing results of his poll on whether our free speech event in Garland, Texas was a good idea.

Pakistan: Muslims set Christian colony ablaze over new blasphemy charges By Robert Spencer on May 25, 2015 12:47 pm
