DAY AFTER BIN-LADEN KILLED U.S. PURCHASES OVER 100 MILLION WORTH OF ANTHRAX VACCINE FROM MUSLIM CEO…….

The following story, that may or may not, be of any significance in the near future, but interesting nonetheless. According to a press release, Emergent BioSolutions INC. is going to sell to the US government over a 100 million dollars worth of anthrax vaccines, just a day after the killing of Osama Bin-Laden.

Happen chance?

What makes this all the more interesting is that the CEO is one, Fuad El-Hibri, a Muslim born in Germany who spent part of his childhood in the ME and in the US, and who has established a $15 000  El-Hibri Peace Education Prize in his name, with the first recipient of the award being Syrian professor, Abdul Aziz Said.

Mr.Said happens to be someone who believes in the Al-Andalus myth, which is supposedly the prime example of the “Three Abrahamic Faiths” living in peace an harmony. He also believes (the highly anti-Semitic) the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference would be excellent vehicles for helping Muslim-Western relations and helpful in dispute resolutions and conciliations. How painfully grotesque.

Decide for yourself whether Fuad El-Hibri warrants a closer look, but you will have to admit the irony of a Muslim selling to the US government anthrax vaccines in case of a Muslim terrorist anthrax attack. KGS
