Iron Rita, who revoked the citizenship of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the
Somali-born Zionist* provocateur extraordinaire, is also tough on gay
Iranian exiles.  This is really brilliant.  The enemy of Muslims in
particular and immigrants in general now divides the Right by losing
the Somali face of the Right, alienating exiles, and outraging gay
communities.  A great gift to the Dutch Left!
