Trying to find the silver lining.
They definitely not the most reputable brand thats for sure.

Maybe not for you, but then for many others they are as evidenced by their growth over the last year.

I suppose one should be thankful that muslims here haven't started jihad style bombings. Yet.

Thats only if he can still use his mobile phone, after it was invented in Israel and all...

He can't fire people unless he can literally phone someone.

I think that you are either a moron troll, or you are actually a extreme anti muslim inbred hillbilly in the Appalachian mountains somewhere that created this account with the sole purpose of actually making muslims look bad. I will leave it to the individual members of mybb to decide which on is most likely.
