| #4 It all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.... who said the Arabs were the only ambiguous liars? |

| #3 They're pulling a fast one, relying on a little ambiguity in English. One meaning of the word "myth" is something like "a story that resonates." The popular meaning is "a big fat lie." I think we all know which meaning the Muslim Brotherhood really had in mind. |

| #2 Gromgoru, I think the best they're going to get is a third-stringer from the Daily Kos to defend this argument. Maybe someone who teaches deconstructionism at a community college in the Bay area, but that would be about it. |
