A Real Renaissance Man

From Yahoo News: "Iranian painter, Pakzad, paints a portrait of the leader and founder of Hamas, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, who was killed on March 22, in a missile attack by Israeli helicopters outside a Gaza city mosque, on a wall at the Modarres highway in Tehran, Iran, Thursday, April 8, 2004. Picture of the Al Aqsa Mosque is seen above Sheik Ahmed Yassin. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)"

wait...doesn't the whole rainbow thing kind of signify that Yassin was gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I've lost track of whether it is more homophobic for you to suggest that he's gay, or if it is MORE SO for me to point that out to you. (Boifromtroi and Wonkette are on top of this.)

Rainbow is to represent oil slick on ground after evil Zionist missile blew Comrade Yassin into fantastical supernatural place Yankee imperialists call "Smithereens."

You mock, but that color scheme reminds me of the decadent 60s. I saw that decade on bourgeois television and am still feeling trippy.

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard virgins
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young martyrs
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something I picked up from the Saudis
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The prophets, the jihadis and me
