Groundhog Day, Arab Islamic style

Please forgive me for being a day late! Shirazani Phil saw his shadow on Saturday. (Hat Tip: Jack W).

Today Shirazani Phil, the lesser known Misloom version of the American Punxutawney Phil, emerged from his home in the basement of a mosque in Shiraz, Iran, and - in seeing the shadow of the smoke from a stack of burning tires in the street - declared that the Arab Spring currently under way across the Middle East will continue.

Heh.
