By now, everyone is familiar with this guy:
We'll call him, "Jihad Joe."
Joe has been all over the wires and...so help me...that face is haunting my dreams and nightmares. He's even on the cover of the issue of The New Republic I just linked to. Heck, I've never been on the cover of The New Republic. What, I have to burn stuff in the streets before they put me on there? I mean sure, the guy has perfect hair and all, but still...
Anyway, there's only one thing to do in a case like this. Photoshop. Sadly, my ideas outpace my technical skills, but bear with me.
I see Joe's future as a hair product endorser. Have your people call my people:
I ask, Cui Bono from all of this? In the Middle East, the most common answer is "The Joos," but this time, I'm not so sure:
Who knew? Jihad Joe, the closet Zionist (and closet something else, too, judging from that hair, but hey, don't ask, don't tell!):
Finally, he's older than he looks (What would a group of photoshops be without an exploding zeppelin?):
If you decide to do your own Jihad Joe photoshops, let me know and I will link them.
Update: I'm not 100% clear on the concept, but I've trackbacked this post to Dr. Sanity's Carnival of the Insanities. There's lots of crazy stuff there to check out.

It's been a while since I visited Solomonia, and that was a mistake. Sol is yet another long-time liberal who "began to have 'second thoughts'" largely as a consequence of Sept. 11. His blog is worth regular visits for anyone concerned about the ... Read More
No offense to you, Sol, but this reminds me how much I miss Allah Pundit. There was a PhotoShop maestro!
Enjoyed it nonetheless and encourage you to do more.

You like him so much you had to tell me twice!
Thanks for the feedback. I often wonder how much place there is for humor around here. I think I need more, and this guy was begging for it. Almost considered having a contest and putting an Amazon gift cert. up for a prize, but I don't feel like sending emails around and all that.
Sorry about the double post. I like the contest idea, satire and mockery is sorely needed here. The famous Osama-and-Bert picture made me immediately laugh at Osama bin Laden. I haven't been able to fear him ever since. "Team America" is another example of a comedic approach just taking away the power to instill fear. Go ahead! Have that contest! This guy's face is unbelievably perfect for that.
