A good sign
Remember the Fatwa issued by an indian court against the cartoonists, condemning them all to death? Well, it has no muslim support in India at all and people are speaking out against it. The ideological war rages on!

You are right, that IS a good sign!
People who listen to or are influenced by religious edict from a pope or a fatwa from a muslim cleric are the reason we need separation of church and state, especially when it comes to the muslim crowd. They are fools who can't think for themselves, that they have to be told what to do , and what to think. Pathetic creatures, they are.

Sorry, Sandmonkey, that doesn't make me feel any better. These are legally recognized Shariat courts in India, which means those are real and legitimate Fatwas - whether they found "support" in the Indian muslim community or not. The judges who issued those Fatwas must be indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit murder.
Then I'll feel better. Not until.
I'm really tempted to call those Shariat courts "Evil" - because this ruling is evil. No other word for it. Just plain fucking evil. Islam better get out of the "justice" business if this is the best it can do.
AIMPLB legal adviser Zararyab Jilani said: "The board has nothing to do with these fatwas; but even if we consider that the Shariat does prescribe death penalty for anyone committing blasphemy with the name of the Prophet, such a fatwa would have legal sanctity only in a country governed by Islamic law.
Aren't these supposedly reassuring words a statement that the death sentence that has been put on those danish nationals can and probably WILL be carried out on them if they ever find themselves in a muslim country?
India should be brought before the UN security council if it doesn't take action against these Islamic courts. Those courts are governmental agencies, and they presumably speak with the sanction of the Indian government.
Hey, for the Danes out there, I bought furniture made in Denmark today - too bad I have to put it together myself.

I find this quote from the article to be quite charming:
"While one fatwa was issued by the Irada-e-Sharia Darul Qaza on Monday, another was issued by the equally unknown Ifta Firangimahli Taksal on Tuesday."
