Please Return Your Imams to Their Full and Upright Positions

Love her or hate her, nobody pokes the tender underbelly the way Ann Coulter does! (Thanks 7lb. Dave):

> It's Arabs who have a thing about shoes being a sign of disrespect, not

shoes.

> Shahin himself couldn't get away from this pan-Arabic shoe fetish, adding:
> "The incidents of Muslims being attacked kind of shocked me in my shoes."

> At Reagan National this week, Rabbis joined the Muslims at the prayer

> Hadith: "And the Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and
> tree will say: 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me,
> come and kill him!'" In fairness, they usually save that one for the high
> holidays, like the "Festival of the Six Dead Jews" or "Honor Killing
Week."

> Nor this one, also from the Hadith: "The Prophet said: 'The Hour will not
> take place until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.
The
> Muslims will kill the Jews. Rejoice! Rejoice in Allah's victory!'" (Is it

> Also strange was that the NAACP has piped in to complain about racial
> profiling of Muslims. The only reason Americans feel guilty about "racial
> profiling" against blacks is because of the history of discrimination

> What did we do to the Arabs? I believe Americans are the victims in that

> profiling the Klan.
