When Billy Smith Met The Baralwi And The Deobandi

.

“I just want to love God, I blurted out….” Piscine:  The Life of Pi

Billy Smith was a quiet little English boy who lived on a working class estate in Bradford. Although he was only twelve, Billy had an extremely deep approach to life, unlike all the other kids.

A closed group persists and prevails through media.

Coz everywhere you step in our nation

There be mosques and their holy cries!

From their sultanic satanic despots!
