] On April 9, 2003, Dr. Umayma Jalahma briefed the Arab
] League's "Center for Coordination and Follow-Up" and
] claimed that the U.S. war in Iraq was timed to coincide
] with the Jewish holiday Purim. Dr. Jalahma, a professor
] of Islamic Studies at Saudi Arabia's King Faysal
] University, made headlines last year when she claimed
] that Jews use human blood to make pastries for the Purim
] holiday. In an article published in the Saudi daily
] Al-Riyadh on March 12, 2002, Dr. Jalahma wrote about "the
] Jewish holiday of Purim... for this holiday, the Jewish
] people must obtain human blood so that their clerics can
] prepare the holiday pastries... that affords the Jewish
] vampires great delight as they carefully monitor every
] detail of the blood-shedding with pleasure... After this
] barbaric display, the Jews take the spilled blood, in the
] bottle set in the bottom [of the needle-studded barrel],
] and the Jewish cleric makes his coreligionists completely
] happy on their holiday when he serves them the pastries
] in which human blood is mixed."

Wheee, this one gets the record for the weirdest Arab "Jewish Conspiracy" accusation I've heard.

Oh, and as a followup on Dr. Jalahma:

] Following MEMRI's release [in 2002] of a translation of this
] article, Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security
] Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and White House Press Secretary
] Ari Fleischer, criticized the Saudi government and press.
] Subsequently, Dr. Jalahma was prevented from writing for
] Al-Riyadh, but began writing for Al-Watan, another Saudi
] daily.

Maybe Arnett should go over there too?
