SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Every day, tens of thousands of people turn to the Web seeking updates from a mysterious scribe whose detailed accounts of life in besieged Baghdad have made him a cyberspace celebrity. Little is known for sure about Salam Pax, whose nom de plume means "peace" in Arabic and Latin. But his Web journal -- ostensibly written from his Baghdad home -- vividly criticizes the authoritarian rule of Saddam Hussein and the U.S.-British war on his nation.

As a gay man living under a repressive regime, he pokes fun at fundamentalism with a wry, profane wit.

Perhaps he was killed by MOAG (Mother Of All Gerbils).

YIKES!

He doesn't like Saddam. He doesn't like the west. He doesn't like Islam. He's living in Baghdad. I'd say it's a miracle he lived this long.

This is almost as good as the "14 year old girl" whose emails the liberal media followed breathlessly during Kosovo.

"If it wasn't true, it wouldn't be on the internet!" alert.

He's probably strapped to a bedspring plugged into a car battery.

It probably originates at the DNC.

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe he got killed by an Iraqi air defense missile.

Thanks to Diogenesis for posting this and pinging me.

Salam is a 28- or 29-year-old Iraqi architect and native Arabic speaker who
spent his formative years in Europe.

Raised as a Muslim, he seems to be a secularist. As a gay man living under a
repressive regime, he pokes fun at fundamentalism with a wry, profane wit.

Gay.
Raised in Europe (not, not in the U.K.!)

And probably is one of Saddam's favorite Palace Architects...

But there I go again...profiling....

Save the flames...I bet Al Rantel (gay, conservative, Republican radio show host
on KABC-790AM) would have a field day with this topic!
Catch Rantel's show 11-11:45AM and 7-10 PM PAC Time on weekdays over the net
at www.kabc.com or on 790AM in Los Angeles/Southern California.

Rantel TAKES NO PRISONERS when he has guests/callers who are radical Islamic apologists!!!
