...heard countless American Muslim’s attest, Islam is a peaceful religion, and the majority of its followers are peaceful people. But it is not until this peaceful majority authoritatively separates itself from the violent zealots that Islam will shed its reputation for bloodshed.

Pain’s always been Xiu Xiu’s orgasm, and here is their finest release...
