Libyana, Libya's largest cell phone provider, sent out a mass text message to all of its subscribers in the last hour. The message: a local cleric had issued a fatwa against watching Al Jazeera.

This had been reported by independent Libyan bloggers. Their posts are below.

From LibyanAffairs:

From the Truth Network:

In Arabic it warns that there is an "advisory" against watching Al Jazeera.

And from flyingbirdies:

Update: The New York Times is now confirming the story.

What’s wrong with these people? Can’t they all just get back to terrorizing Christians and Jews? I mean C’mon! What’s going on here? It’s as if there’s some kind of Divine plot afoot...

A fatwa on BBQ ribs would be a cause for retaliation. May they find wisdom in no doing so.

I note you are a brother. So should I or should I not
start a FR fight by mentioning that, of course, the best
BBQ beef ribs in the world are made in Oklahoma?

Bet BHO wishes he could issue fatwas. Don't watch Fox. Not that anyone would pay attention. Executive orders are better.
