Ahh, hell no

This isn't happening: An Indian Court has issued a Fatwa condemning to death the 12 artists who drew the controversial images of the prophet Mohammed. Marie Le Pen, the leader of France's extreemist party the National Front, is amazingly forming an alliance with the Muslim Majority there. Well, they both hate Jews, so they got that in common. I want off of this planet!

It is a pity they did not accuse the Frenchman joining the pig squalling contest as he obviously gave the impression he was presenting Mohammed as a pig :P

It's a joke, isn't it? One of the cartoons does not even show the Prophet at all but a schoolboy 'Mohammed' instead scolding at the paper. Death threads to cartoonists who do not draw the prophet as well? What's next? Fatwas against people named Mohammed?

A fatwa against anyone called Mohammed? Well, there are those (or were?) who considered it inappropriate to name a son after Mohammed, but their view does not seem to have prevailed. Mohammed is the single most popular name, as far as I can tell. In Dubai I once had to introduce a friend to a group of people. It went as follows: Mohammed, this is Mohammed and Mohammed and Mohammed.

If you want off the planet, then I say: Me, too, and it can't be fast enough.

‚Mohammed’ might be an adequate name for a male, but do not risk to name a horse ‘Mohammed’.
Three years ago, the following had happened nearby a small German town:
A local newspaper wrote a report over a birthday party of a 32 year old horse named Mohammed: ‘Beloved Mohammed – A Horse-Granddad celebrates his birthday’
This report set of an avalanche: Local Muslims and several Muslim organisations ran hot, they inundated the editorial office with emaild, signature lists, mail, faxes and phone calls. Death threads were outspoken. The affair became an political issue: It’s ‘distasteful and ethically unallowable’ to give a horse the name of the Prophet, an ‘exorbitant offence’ to all Muslims. And it’s even a bigger crime to report about it.
‘It’s a riddle how an intelligent person can be so empty-headed against the sensibility of an denomination such as the Islam’. An ‘immediate clarification’ was demanded, and an ‘apology to the whole Muslim community’.
Because of the threads against the horse, the owner of the horse and the editorial staff of the paper the state security service interfered: They declared that they are not able to protect the life of the horse and its owner and recommended to rename the aged horse.
The owner agreed, a local broadcast-station showed how the name-plate at the horses box was changed to ‘Mohmi’. The local newspaper published an apology about the article.

just checked it out...

Scary dude!

I have heard about they were against muslims and generel immigration (seems like sometimes it´s the same same bla bla bla that all political xenophobs talks - sad to say) but these guys are really out there...

Which remind me - saw a BBC program not long ago about PEN and the interviewer had found some evidence that representatives from PEN had visited KKK in USA and some neonazies in UK. Can't remember the programs name though.

Scary...! :(

By the way - Im glad not all the crap that the danish pendant have said have been translated...
Talk about increase of an already bad situation.

What can I say "Jerks are all over - it first when somebody starts listening to them that it goes wrong"
