Muslim Brotherhood website: Israeli spies are in Tahrir Square protests, and you can tell them by their Star of David tattoos!
One little problem: observant Jews don’t frequent tattoo parlors. But hey, the “spies” might be all crafty like that.

Syria steps up flow of weapons to Hizballah, which “doesn’t know where to put it all”

Reza Aslan equates Republican Party with “Sharia & all other anti-woman, anti-human rights forms of totalitarian control”
From the Witless Moral Equivalence Department this morning comes this from Islamic supremacist pseudo-moderate Reza Aslan, who despite (or perhaps because of) his increasingly ridiculous statements is still a favored analyst in the circles of the hard Left. This one is particularly clownish even for Aslan: he is equating the Republican Party with “Sharia & […]
