Pictured above, the soft-sell, upbeat marketing poster for Walid Shoebat's appearance in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Shoebat claims (since discredited by Richard Bartholomew) that he is a former Muslim Palestinian terrorist turned born-again Christian who wants to educate the world about the evils of Islam. He is in fact a useful tool of the Christian Zionist branch of American extremism in their effort to stoke hatred against Muslims, which is the real reason he is Sioux Falls, and probably being trotted around to a lot of other small town/exurb places in America right now.

For another look at Shoebat's peaceful, loving ways, check out this video (marketing a book written by his son: hate-mongering is a family business apparently) from his website. I love the way they save the Pat Robertson quote about Allah being the deceiver until the last 10 seconds. They probably figured that anybody who was offended would have tuned out in disgust by then:
