The dispicable sectarianism of Ali Farzat

I have promoted the art of Ali Farzat on this blog for years, I described him--and still do--as the most talented Arab cartoonist today, although he failed to produce one good--not brilliant, just good--cartoon during this crisis.  The man has now exposed himself to be a petty, vulgar, sexist, sectarian, violent and crude person.  His campaign against the correspondent of Al-Arabiyyah (the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law), Alia Ibrahim, revealed the true Ali Farzat.  Today, Ibrahim responded to him and to his sectarianism but I will not post her response because it is full of propaganda for Saudi foreign policy and for Free Syrian Army gangs.
