In the photo, seen at the right, a double-barreled shotgun is pointed at the viewer with the caption “HOW TO WINK AT A MUSLIM.” The image soon went viral, causing West to take down the original post from his page. The Tennessean reached out to West and the commissioner not only isn’t sorry about posting the picture, he doesn’t believe he deserves to be singled out. West responded with this email: “No I did not Twitter this … no I did not create this picture … yes I shared it … so why am I being singled out?” By BareNakedIslam • Posted in Islam in AmericaURL: http://wp.me/p276zM-TeX   Trouble clicking?
