Quotes
- I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something
- It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like.
- (Islam is) a murderous religion. This is amazing information that almost nobody is aware of... everyone thinks that it's a legitimate religion that preaches love and brotherhood. The truth of the matter is [that terrorists] are reflecting the religion and following the religion. They are following the orders of the religion directly from the Quran... in plain English, the whole Muslim religion is preaching and teaching hate, terrorism and murder, and nobody knows it, and its about time they found out about it. The Quran... is 50 versions of hate, venom, hostility, and murder... dedicated to terrorism... I don't know how we can call it a religion in the traditional sense. It should be called a murderous organization that's out to kill people.[1] (http://www.nndb.com/people/805/000023736/)
