RESPECT TERROR AND CONSPIRACY PROMOTERS? NEVER/update
Increasing respect for the Muslim/Arab world has been a strategic goal of the Obama administration. Even poor Nasa is required to spend money to promote it! No, it is not a joke. If Waleed Abdalati has been selected as NASA’s chief scientist because he is a Muslim, it is quite troubling. The truth is that Jihadist atrocities and attempted atrocities continue to increase world wide disdain for the Muslim world. Just consider this headline Pakistani Religious leaders cheer governor's murder. If that has not been bad enough, Muslims attachment to conspiracy theories make them a laughing stock. Here are a batch of animal centered ones to entertain you:
Iran arrests pigeons 'spying' on nuclear site
