[1] Jail Jihad Update from [2] JTA, with thanks to RB:

New York City’s mayor suspended the head imam of the city’s jail system.

The move by Michael Bloomberg regarding Umar Abdul-Jalil came after the New York Post reported that the imam made several anti-American and anti-Israel comments in an April 2005 speech, including saying that Muslims in America should stop letting “the Zionists of the media to dictate what Islam is to us.”

Abdul-Jalil has said the remarks were taken out of context. He also reportedly said that his mother converted to Judaism in 1959.

Yeah? So what??

UPDATE: He is suspended, yes. But [3] Bloomberg will not fire him. (Thanks to The Growler.)
