Way to go Robert!

Mar. 15 - All I wanted to do was link to Ex-pat Yank's coverage of the Robert McCartney killing and the exposure of Sinn Fein as hoodlums (more here, here, here, here, here, here and especially here and I find he's become famous!

He was quoted at Slate! And doing what bloggers are becoming known for doing best - fact checking.

In a post on the recent fatwa issued by Spanish clerics on bin Laden, The Next Salman Rushdie By David Wallace-Wells, Robert's post which questioned the number of Muslims in Spain is quoted.

From Slate:

Expat Yank Robert Tumminello takes issue with news stories that estimate there are 1 million Spanish Muslims. "Hmm, but less than a year ago," he says, the Boston Globe counted only 500,000 Muslims in Spain, and guessed there were perhaps only 200,000 more living there illegally. "Quite a growing population," he murmurs.
No apologies needed, Robert, but congratulations are indeed in order.
