Here’s a fun one from a reader:

Yo, Einstein:
I realize you aren’t very bright and I will give you a break because you have a family to support now, but Hitler did not declare war on us and Yassin did NOT issue fatwas.
Why don’t you go kick an old man in a wheelchair. That should make you feel better.
It must be tough having a job where you have to make excuses for Bush and Sharon all the time.

If only to head-off the email from readers: 1: Of course Hitler declared war on us (December 11, 1941). 2. It’s true that Yassin wasn’t an “official” islamic cleric and hence he didn’t issue “real” fatwas (and was sort of a bogus “spiritual leader). However, his statements were treated as fatwas by his followers and were regularly referred to as “fatwas” in the press. Oh, and, 3: I was making a joke.
