Conspiracy theories in Arab discourse-Fawaz Turki, Special to Arab News I especially applaud his closing : "...Let us not, I say, debase our great language by using it as a vehicle of intellectual dissimulation and political kitsch, for it is in language that human grace is defined, and in it that we as Arabs find the prime carrier of our equally great civilization..." Enough of this bs. Amen, Fawaz, Amen.

Conspiracy theories are like black holes--they suck in everything that comes their way, regardless of content or origin...Everything you've ever known or experienced, no matter how 'meaningless', once it contacts the conspiratorial universe, is enveloped by and cloaked in sinister significance. Once inside, the vortex gains in size and strength, sucking in everything you touch.
Donna Kossy , founder of the Kooks Museum, quoted in this article on conspiracies.
