Brothers and sisters, Assalam alaikum -

He might be gone from The White House soon, but his rotten legacies will live on. And one of those legacies is his never-ending War on Terror.
His War on Terror gave birth to the cages of Cuba – to Guantanamo Bay where hundreds of our brothers were sold like slaves to the Americans.
