Jafar, to give him his due, was remarkably well-mannered. However, it ultimately became apparent that he wasn't representing himself with full honesty. Supposedly a Muslim who respected peace and wanted it to flourish, supposedly anti-terrorist ... he was also pro-Hamas, and could never be pinned down to any outright denunciation of their terrorist activities. AND ... during that conflict between Hamas and Israel a couple of years back, argued very solidly for Hamas's perspective ... and in an almost childlike way. Hamas (and Palestine) were forever being put upon ... they were the innocent victims of Israeli aggression ... and Israel were the 'baddies' throughout. Ultimately, he tried disseminating a piece of propaganda here on this forum, had it comprehensively shown to be false .. and then, Jafar just disappeared on us (never to be seen again ?).
A propagandist, obviously. When he had nothing to gain by remaining, he cleared off, pronto ......

Well who'd have thought?
Donald J. Trump has attracted enormous attention for his proposal to temporarily bar Muslim from entering the United States. But on Monday he said he was “happy” that London had elected its first Muslim mayor and suggested that the new official would be among the exceptions to his proposal.
“There will always be exceptions,” Mr. Trump said when asked in an interview on Monday how his proposed ban would affect London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan.
“I was happy to see that,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Khan’s election. “I think it’s a very good thing, and I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good.”
Asked why, Mr. Trump said, “Because I think if he does a great job, it will really — you lead by example, always lead by example. If he does a good job and frankly if he does a great job, that would be a terrific thing.”
Mr. Trump has been criticized for his proposed ban, which he announced soon after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November that killed 130 people.
Mr. Khan, in an interview with Time magazine after his election, criticized Mr. Trump’s approach to Muslims and said he planned to visit the United States before the inauguration.
“If Donald Trump becomes the president I’ll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can’t engage with American mayors and swap ideas,” Mr. Khan said.

I'm willing to bet that if Obama ever meets this Kahn, he will probably bow to him.
And if he had a son he would look just like him.
