Serving all Arab dictatorships

I mean, who attend their events anymore anyway?  "A leading Arab American group dropped a prominent Syrian-American musician from performing at their annual convention in a dispute over a freedom-tinged song that he was set to perform.  The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a longtime Washington civil rights group, repeatedly asked the German-born Syrian composer and pianist Malek Jandali to reconsider his piece choice, Jandali told POLITICO. When he refused, Jandali was told today that he couldn't perform at this weekend's event." (thanks "Ibn Rushd")

PS ADC is now a tool of Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who is a close friend of Bashshar Al-Asad.
