To the mullahs in Iran: Come on, guys, even you have got to admit that this is pretty funny!

To everyone else: You've probably already seen this photo (unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past 48 hours or so):

In this satellite photo from Google Earth, notice the Star of David prominently displayed on the hub of this complex of buildings. The Star of David (Magen David in Hebrew) is one of the national symbols of the modern State of Israel. You might wonder why this particular Star of David is getting so much attention during this Hanukkah season.

The reason is that it lovingly adorns the rooftop of—get this—the headquarters of the official Airline of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Tehran International Airport in Tehran, Iran. We're talking Jihad Airways here, folks.

For those of you who are thinking this is just too funny to be true (and frankly, under normal circumstances, I would agree with you), here's a link to the Fox News story.

My prediction is that this Iranian Star of David will be gone (or covered up) in a matter of days—or heads will roll (literally). In the meantime, the always-creative ministry of propaganda in Tehran may insist that the satellite photo was Photoshopped. 

How else can they explain how it escaped everyone's notice for over 30 years, especially in an airport with overhead traffic constantly coming and going?

According to news reports, this airport complex was built in the 1970s by Israeli engineers hired by the Shah of Iran. The Star of David was their "signature," of sorts, like Picasso or Rembrandt signing one of their famous works. The Shah was deposed in January of 1979 when Islamic militants seized control of the government. He fled into exile.

But the Star of David stayed—and it's been there for all this time.

Which goes to show that even if the mullahs don't have a sense of humor, God does.

"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty" (1 Cor. 1:27).

Thanks to David Jacobs, our Israeli tour guide, for giving us a heads up on this intriguing story.
