James GleickI don't think “emboldened" is the right word for this obscene and racist tirade. Perhaps one or more of the following:
Frenzied.
Violent.
Frustrated.
Enraged.
Berserk.
The Times doesn't know what to say about “Praise be to Allah," so it says nothing.
cratermoon@gleick I saw a screenshot with the "Praise be to Allah", and I thought it was fake. I consistently underestimate how unhinged the current occupant of the Oval Office has become.
Fazal Majid@cratermoon @gleick PBUH (Peace Be Upon Him) applies to esteemed but dead humans, sort of like RIP, not to God who is the one dispensing the said peace in the first place.
