Jihan Sadat

You won't be surprised if I tell you that I have utter contempt for this woman: the widow of Nazi Egyptian tyrant, Anwar Sadat. I woke up to an interview with her on Al-Arabiyya TV. Anwar Sadat was in his early thirties when he fell in love with her, when she was 14 years old, or a bit younger. And yet he used to call her "mommy" as a letter from him to her (included in the Arabic edition of her lousy book on the Peace Process) reveals. She is gushing over Obama and says that Camp David was good because otherwise Israel would have done to Egypt what it has done to Gaza recently. I kid you not. She also confirms that Nazi Anwar Sadat was indeed a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and that she herself used to collect funds for the Brotherhood and knew the General Guide of the Brotherhood, Ma`mun Al-Hudaybi.
PS And Jihan lied about her conflict with Um Kulthum. Read about that in Ibrahim Salamah's memoirs.
