Florida Senate Candidate Jeff Greene Suggests Koran Includes Some 'Crazy Stuff'
Jeff Greene
Wealthy Florida investor and Democratic Senate candidate Jeff Greene suggested last week that the Koran includes "crazy stuff" -- and his opponent is having a field day with it.
On Friday, Greene and his self-funded campaign was the subject of a Washington Post profile. Since then, Rep. Kendrick Meek, Greene's opponent in Florida's Democratic Senate primary, has hit Greene over and over with candid moments from the piece, subtly calling him both a religious bigot (Greene said the Koran includes "all kinds of this crazy stuff" within earshot of the Post reporter) and a misogynist (Greene called former good friend Heidi Fleiss "a businesswoman," too).

Flight 253 suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab
It's been reported in England and the U.S. in recent days that two years before Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab allegedly attempted to blow up Flight 253, the college Islamic Society of which he was president organized a "War on Terror Week."
But the poster from that University College London event, which has a corner notation "Approved by Umar Farook," has not been in circulation. Check it out below.
