Amer Mirza Follow-up

Special thanks are due to reader Jim Davis, who posted this article as a comment to the other day's post on the greedy "victim" of islamophobia Amer Mirza.

It appears that Mirza is more than a thin-skinned opportunist with hopes of getting rich off perceived insensitivity toward his gentle Muslim faith. He was involved in rounding up Chicago-area Muslims so that they could be bussed to the capital for pro-Saddam protests in the days leading up to the liberation of Iraq. The protest was organized by ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) — which is affiliated with Ramsey Clark's vociferously anti-American International Action Center, as well as the Workers' World Party, a Stalinist cult that has avidly supported genocidal dictators Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, and Kim Jong-Il, and even communist China's Tiananmen Square massacre, while bizarrely claiming that President Bush is guilty of genocide.

Mirza has not been keeping very good company. They say birds of a feather flock together. Apparently the same principle applies to rats.
