Former US official

Stuart Seldowitz whose roles included deputy director for Israeli and Palestinian affairs, United States Dept of State 1999-2003 and acting director of National Security Council South Asia Directorate 2009-2011.

abusing Muslim street vendor

"If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what, it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough!"

"You're a terrorist, you support terrorism. You do, you support terrorism. You support killing little children."

"You know the Mukhabarat?... Mukhabarat in Egypt will get your parents. Does your father like his fingernails? They'll take them out one by one."

"Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?... Muhammad was a rapist."

"What do you think of that, people who use the Koran as a toilet? Does it bother you?"


Trashy behavior. Did Muhammad rape his daughter though? The whole thing with his 6-year-old wife Aisha is pretty well-known but I don't think she was his daughter.

I must admit, I was expecting his successor.

[–] ClockNimble@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I wish I could be surprised. Both him and his successor were a little too happy dropping bombs on Muslims for me to be actually surprised.
