If this is true, it just gets worse and worse...

Although it was not clear which film prompted the protests, Egypt’s prestigious Al-Azhar mosque and seat of Sunni learning condemned on Tuesday a symbolic “trial” of the Prophet organized by a U.S. group including Terry Jones, a Christian pastor who triggered riots in Afghanistan in 2010 by threatening to burn the Koran.

According to the website www.standupamericanow.org, Jones and others were due to take part in an event on Tuesday - the anniversary of the September 11 attacks by al Qaeda on U.S. cities - called “International Judge Mohammad Day” in Florida. It was due to be carried live on the Internet.

Some activists had mentioned Jones in calls for a protest.

Police Arrest U.S. Citizen With Alleged Hezbollah Members in Mexico

Rafic Mohammad Labboun Allaboun, an American citizen, was arrested Saturday night in the company of a number of suspected Hezbollah operatives, the Yucutan Times reports.

American authorities had already issued an international alert for the man, so after his arrest Allaboun was directly transported to Houston, Texas.

The two other suspected extremists, Justin Yasser Safa from Belize and George Abdalah Elders, remain in Mexican custody, the Times of Israel relates.

Apparently Allaboun attempted to convince Mexican authorities he was from Belize as well, even showing them a fake passport before his arrest.

American authorities have long been concerned about radical organizations infiltrating our porous southern border.

In 2011, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney warned that the existence of such groups throughout Latin America, particularly in collusion with the drug cartels, pose a “significant and imminent threat to the United States of America.”
