WASHINGTON DC-- During the National Spelling Bee this week in the nation's capital, Islamic spectators became outraged upon discovering that "USA" is embedded in the middle of Jerusalem.
The revelation was made by Douglas Levin, an eighth grader at the
Joseph Liebman Day School in Rockville Center, MD.
When young Levin was asked to spell the word Jerusalem, he replied:
'J...E...R.....USA.....L...E...M.'
An audible gasp sounded from Muslim onlookers, who realized for the first time a USA presence in the holy city. Muslim parents
immediately protested the spelling contest, citing American bias toward Israel.
'It's a clear violation of church and state,' said Muhammad Ahlee, lobbyist for the Arab group Holy Shiite.
Bee officials quickly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that the
Muslims were merely disgruntled because Rajeed Salam, a seventh grader from Geyserville Junior High, had been eliminated earlier for misspelling
Afghanistan as 'A...f...g...h...anus...t...a...n'.
'There is no 'ANUS' in Afghanistan,' said one bee official, 'except bin Laden.
