Dutch blog: letter contains hidden reference to Al Qaeda

Dutch shock blog Geen Stijl speculates about a connection with Al Qaeda. Money quote:

'The signature was "Deen alMuwahhied" but this is an anagram. What was meant is "alMuwahhieddeen", which is a reference to the Mujahedeen. It is however, a very odd way of spelling it, which can only be found in one other location: at the website AlMuwahhiedDeen.com. This is a disabled Al Qaeda website that contained a forum.'

I don't find this too convincing yet, but it is interesting enough to keep an eye on. Especially since secretary Piet-Hein Donner of Justice vehemently denied the existence of any connections between Mohamed B. and Al Qaeda.

Update 13.03: the blog Sargasso has a far more convincing explanation of the al Muwahhied remark. Apparently, it means 'Those who conform the unity of God.' (Hat tip to AvdK.)
