Avigdor Lieberman a Muslim?

If this story were true, it would sure explain a lot of things. The Iranian newspaper Assar-Iran used a picture of Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman in an article complaining about discrimination against Iranians in the US. (Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!)

The article accused the US of discriminating against Iranians living in its territory, citing the example of an Iranian man who was fired from his American job due to his religious beliefs, according to the website Assar-Iran.

Lieberman's trim beard is what apparently made an impression on the editors of Iranian weekly Ya-Lasrat when they decided to use his photograph in the article "Religious beliefs behind unjust dismissal of another Iranian in the US".

The editors had no idea the picture they selected was none other than Israel's vice prime minister, minister of strategic affairs, and head of the Israel Our Home party.

Ya-Lasrat is published by Islamic fundamentalist party "Ansar Hizbullah", which despite the shared name, is not connected with the Lebanese terror group.

Someone's head is going to roll over this....
