Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theories

(

)

... that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's aide Huma Abedin was accused of working for the Muslim Brotherhood by United States House of Representatives member and former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann?

Inappropriate on several counts. The Muslim brotherhood conspiracy theories entry is very new and of very poor quality. It's also nominated for deletion. The fact stated in DYK has been widely covered in the media this month -- asking "didn't you already know?" would make more sense. Finally, repeating a controversial claim in this fashion uses WP as a supermarket tabloid. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 10:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. In addition, the hook is over the maximum length, and thus ineligible. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
