More Muslim Problems for Obama
Mazen Asbahi has quit as Barack Obama's "Muslim-outreach coordinator," a job he held for a scant nine days, "amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups," The Wall Street Journal reports:

The Justice Department named Mr. Said an unindicted co-conspirator in the racketeering trial last year of several alleged Hamas fund-raisers, which ended in a mistrial. He has also been identified as a leading member of the group in news reports going back to 1993.

It's odd that a candidate so Islamophobic that he thinks "Muslim" is a "smear" and won't even be photographed with Muslims would hire a "Muslim outreach" coordinator, much less one with connections like Asbahi's. But then, maybe this is a result of ignorance, which in turn is a result of aversion.
