They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... is bankrolling its campaign of terror by demanding protection money off the gangs smuggling migrants from Libya to Europe, the Sunday People can reveal.
