The Jewel of the Nile He's Not

Many news media outlet have been reporting that there is a NEW Osama bin Laden and his name is Anwar al-Awlaki. His picture has been plastered all over the news. Every time I see his picture, all I can think about is… “Is that the guy from the 1985 cult-classic film, THE JEWEL OF THE NILE? It’s one of my favorites, starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito, and supporting actor Avner Eisenberg, who played the Jewel.

It is uncanny how much they resemble each other. If you ever seen the movie, then you know that the Jewel-of the Nile, was a religious leader of his people as well as an icon. Wow, what a coincidence.

All I want to know is; who originated that look? The beard, strange hat that I have know idea what to call it and those “Where’s Waldo Glasses.” Obviously, the movie was first, circa 1985. So, I wonder. Did al-Awlaki get his look from the movie or is it just a coincidence?

His father just came out and said he was educated in the United States. So, that’s minus 1 point for the terrorist. What’s next, are we going to have to worry about people looking like Clark Griswold from the Family Vacation franchise. What a nightmare!
