#1 Lots of uncorroborated anecdotes about medieval cruelty in here that seem to be plucked straight out of a passage from the Arabian Nights. I want to blame the propagandists for being serial exaggerators, but I suspect this is what the Muslim world expects from propaganda - anything less strange doesn't hit the spot. This is why 9/11 conspiracy theories have such currency in the Muslim world. On the one hand, they want to gloat about it being a great victory for Islam, and the other, they want to blame it on American instigators. The problem is that propagandists who don't come up with crazy theories aren't taken seriously, so they pile on the lunacy until the desired audience acceptance rate is achieved.

#2 As I mentioned at the O'Club:

Remember, the Arab mind has an amazing ability to hold two diametrically-opposing thoughts and believe them both simultaneously as "truth".

Conspiracy folks are pikers compared to the average Arab.
