At any rate, this mockery of Jesus is a satanic symbol and figures prominently in Satan worship.

• It is a kind of ego booster, the way Egypt's winning the 1973 war, in the first stages, was an uplift. But I did not find when I spoke to people that the war in Iraq was seen as the major issue in American-Arab relations.
