ALLAH U AKBAR
Hmmm...I invite someone named Norman Finkelstein to join the blog, and the next thing I know, I get my first piece of anti-semitic commentary. My guess is that Mr. A. U. Akbar here is actually a member of my local Jewish Federation, maybe one of the folks who wants me to block that other Norman Finkelstein (whom I've neither met nor read) from getting tenure. Or maybe one of that other Norman's enemies from Colombia--the University, not the country.

Still, just so he won't feel put out over having tracked his nemesis (or at least someone with the same name) over the waves of cyberspace, I'll take Reb Akbar's advice--unless you, cher Norman, object.

Until tomorrow, then:

Well, that suggests I was wrong (and scurillous--scurrilous? whatever the spelling) in my suggestion about who posted this. I still doubt it was a Muslim, though, whatever the signoff, and that's the part of the message that bothers me most: the invitation to nastiness on my part.

Goodness, it's been a long week already. And it's only Monday.
