#1 Well, you could've knocked me down with a feather.

The most amazing thing about the article is that he actually used the words 'Jew' and 'Israeli' without attaching a hate label to them.

He's either going to become an instant fatwa-magnet with a few hours to live or change really is happening in the Muslim world.

Of course there's a third possibility: it's just a con to get people to think better of Muslims.

#2 He is Syrian and Syria is ruled by the Alaouite Assads. Alaouites are a branch of shiism but they drink alcohol, their women mingle with men, dont wear veils. In other words, they are arch-heretic by wahabi standards. Al Quaida would like them dead. Perhaps, perhaps Assads/Aalouites feel in danger.
