One of the New York City IED bombers, as the New York Post noted, lived in a very nice $2.25 million house.
The house is a family property, currently in the name of one of the daughters, but presumably originating from the father’s fortune which came from running Popeye’s franchises and an Afghan restaurant. The Popeye’s stores seemed to employ the whole family, in typical third world fashion, and apparently resulted in a court case.
Whatever net benefit the United States gained from having Afghans sell us our own fried chicken was more than offset when one of those Afghans carried out a terrorist attack in Manhattan. The cost of the trial and prison sentence will be in the tens of millions.
Americans are pretty good at fried chicken. I dare say we can probably make better fried chicken than Afghans can.
It is called Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, not Popeyes Afghan Kitchen after all. Al Copeland did marry four women, but he did it one at a time. (This reminds me of a joke about the time Ted Kennedy ran against Mitt Romney.)
So maybe we can go back to a time when we used Americans to sell fatty foods to other Americans and left the murderous third worlders who want to kill us out of it. There were problems back then, but Islamic terrorism wasn’t one of them.
