Anthony Weiner hit the headlines recently as the congressman who tweeted photos of him modelling his underwear (to put it politely) and resigned as a result. Now, the congressman happens to be of the Jewish faith - but that isn't a big deal for most normal people - being caught with your pants down is not unknown in any faith group.
However, for Guru Bob, it appears that his faith is an issue. The conspiracy he's come up with is that Weiner is a secret Mooslim.
Loonwatch has a write up and a link to the story on Salon.
JihadWatch‘s Robert Spencer, who has absolutely no academic qualifications that would make him so, has always tried to posit himself as a serious expert on Islam. As time went by, Spencer’s hatred for Islam bubbled to the surface and he could no longer help himself from partaking in kooky conspiratorial talk.
Spencer sees a “secret Muslim” behind every corner. We have him on record saying that he thinks President Obama may in fact be a secret Muslim. Now, he’s saying that Anthony Weiner, a Jewish congressman who recently admitted to ethically suspect behavior, may in fact be a secret Muslim too. (This, despite Anthony Weiner’s well-known pro-Israel, pro-Zionist, and anti-Palestinian views.) Spencer tried, with little success, to walk back his statement.
So, President Obama is a secret Muslim, Anthony Weiner is a secret Muslim, and oh yeah, don’t forget that Spencer has linked Adolf Hitler and Nazism to Islam too! Spencer, is the boogieman also Muslim?
After this, should anybody take Robert Spencer seriously?
