#1 Once upon a time Fatah was the armed wing of the PLO. But I s'pose they've all grown too old now to hold their weapons firmly, and have degenerated to talking about the good old days while the young whippersnappers of the A.A.Martyr Brigades do their job for them.

#2 Has Al-A TV hired hard-nosed ex-IDF guards for their station? A couple of well-placed LMG teams would sure cut down on the "gunnie factor", I think.

#3 Guess it's time to shoot the place up... and ask for jobs as "censors".

#4 I agree with mojo. The way to get around thugs is to hire worse thugs. Not directly, but indirectly, let it be known that anyone who bothers you will be just thrashed later. Unexpected time, unexpected place, with no warning and no appeal.

It's especially good if your thugs have a trademark, such as cutting off a toe of the left foot. Again, nothing with meaning, but to send a message.

While recuperating, the bad thugs will compare notes and figure out who not to mess with in the future--and who to let their friends know not to mess with.

#6 If messages such as this weren't so important to kickstart even the least degree of introspection amongst Islamist Arabs, it would merely be hilarious to see this sort of rife internal dissension. Instead, the usual strident alarm is sounded regarding just what sort of blinkering we can look forward to in a world run according to sharia law.
