And now this:
Prominent Muslim religious heads have expressed anger and dismay on the information of a US dog being named ‘Khan.’ Maulana Syed Athar Ali said that it is a known fact that Muslims detest pigs and dogs.
“To name a dog a Muslim name by US security agencies is to deliberately incite the Muslim community. We would be meeting soon and devise a strategy to protest and seek apology from the US,” said Maulana Athar Ali.

The Decline And Fall

When I was a kid, Halloween was for kids. And then I grew up and didn’t care about it any more (like, when I hit my teens). But apparently, many of my generation never wanted to grow up. One more Boomer-caused societal disaster.
