A fatwa free-for-all in the Islamic world

"Didn’t hear about the urine fatwa... "

That is because in sophisticated circles, it is referred to as the Golden fatwa. ;-)

I’ve a fatwa, she’s a fatwa, he’s a fatwa, we’ve a fatwa, wouldn’t you like to have a fatwa, too?

So where is anybody going to get the necessary substance for this “blessing”?

Don’t try to confuse the worshipers of Mohammed.

It’s already been done.

51% support the rocket attacks on Israel even though 66% say the attacks provide no real benefit to the Palestinians.

Let’s do the wrong thing because it feels good?

How does one fight people who think like that?

“A New Hope” in the Falcon when Artoo is beating Chewie at “chess”.

I just changed the lines a little.

Thanks.

Ohhh.. The “Golden Fatwa”. Somehow it does not seem to equate to the “Golden Rule”, but I cannot quite say (out loud) why. Just this feeling I have that Islam is a cult based on war, conquest, slavery, and deviance (for men only). I think this feeling comes from years of watching these fools kill every non-Islamic and Islamic who does not fit their view of “Muslim”. It might also come from the fact I have read the Koran and find it repulsive and disgusting. Maybe also that since going to Iraq, I have become even more disgusted with Islam.

I am sure some Islamic apologist/appeaser/dhimmi will order me to seek out “brilliant” Imam (with a tundra temperature IQ) so he can tell me what to think so I, the Kuffer (infidel), can “understand” (be silenced).

For the common people I think that’s probably true for the most part. However, I strongly suspect that many if not most of the leaders behind these violent movements are motivated exclusively by politics. Saddam Hussein was paying off the families of suicide bombers in order to encourage more people to become suicide bombers. Did the suicide bombers believe they’d also be getting goodies in Paradise as a reward? Most probably did. Did Saddam believe that? I seriously doubt it. For Saddam it was all about power, politics, and money, and manipulating the confused religious beliefs of many people in this part of the world was just a convenient means to achieve his utterly secular objectives.

Saddam is now irrelevant

Islam is irrelevant.
