Via the new York times: Fighters allied with the Free Syrian Army units battling the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad have told him that they are developing an association of diggers dedicated to finding antiquities in order to fund the revolution. “The rebels need weapons, and antiquities are an easy way to buy them,†says Abu Khaled, who goes by his nickname in order to protect his identity. Furthermore, Jabhat Al Nusra (JAN), Al Qaeda’s Syrian wing, was busy wiping out historical sites well before ISIS became a significant presence in Syria.

Regarding Hasnaoui’s tasteless joke, Spencer’s website, "Jihad Watch," shamelessly posted a headline reading, " Paris: Muslim overturns restaurant tables, shouts “People can’t eat, it’s Ramadan!†," before concluding: It’s simple: in Muslim countries, non-Muslims must conform their behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities.
