    These Moslims have been gearing up for years to kill everybody! We attack and they will decide they can retaliate and they are in every major city now and not making any secret of it… Every city in the world may find some suiside Moslim releasing off chemical weapons on them!!!! This may be the end! Everyone used to be wary and prepare for this … Now they will hit us in the face with it!
