By the end of the set of photos, you feel like you practically know the guy.
Which is, what I suspect, exactly what these MSM photographers with Arabic names want.

Great line in the last caption:
It is only “alleged pointing”. But how else did the photographer get the shot?
Thanks for the investigation Aussie Dave.

I noticed this yesterday — and Dave, you nailed it. I think the strangest thing is to see a smiling “cheerful” islamdic.
The press fascination with this guy may also be explained by their homosexuality.

You left out:
He’s unwashed,

I know - not nice.
Couldn’t help myself….
