A Pakistani cleric offered a 1.5 million rupee (€28,000) reward and a car for anyone who kills the cartoonist who drew Prophet Mohammed.

Another Islamist leader was put under house detention, amid fears of more deadly demonstrations today, officials said.

Isnt this illegal?

It's like a call for a Mob Hit isnt it?

[cripplecreek]

Animals that is what they are .......

These pathetic morons..Someone should make it open season on Muslims...why don't you fools come on down to Texas an go on a quail shoot with me..I won't use bird shot..

Nothing is illegal when the Religion of Peace justifies their actions.

[Just mythoughts]

Sounds like a solicitation for murder. Why isn't the world court pressing charges?

[YOUGOTIT]

It is only illegal if someone says it is. And in this case since it is an Islamic leader then no one will say it is illegal.

I think a SMART bomb for a DUMB cleric should be the order of the day for Pentagon Planners.

And they wonder why we drew mo' with a bomb on his head.

Reminds me of the bunny with a pancake on his head.

[wouldntbprudent]

Exactly. So what is the world going to do about it? Allow people to go around soliciting murder b/c we don't want to offend their "religious" sensibilities?

And in this case since it is an Islamic leader.....

"If Jews and Christians, so often on the receiving end of the most hateful forms of expression, can overcome our revulsion in the service of liberty, so too can our brethren in the Islamic world. To expect anything less of Muslims is to debase them and their faith – far more than any cartoon ever could."

Is there a "cleric school" where these small minded people go to learn how to teach hate?

[cripplecreek]

I have no idea what you're talking about so here's a picture of Mohammad with a bomb on his head.

[G.Mason]

And I will offer a reward to anyone who will off this (un-named) Packrat cleric.

I will even supply the poison pellet, sharpened umbrella, phony passport and a picture of Moe Hamad having sexual relations with a pig.

Kelly,

You could not be more correct.

The meltdown of European sovereignty continues.

They react with the instincts of an animal, kill, main, beat, burn, it is all thye know

[Condor51]

Hmm... that's about $25K in USD plus a new car (a Paki YUGO?), and I could use the extra dough. But darn it, I'm kind of busy. I have to rearrange my sock drawer and replace that burned out light bulb.

(I guess in the M.E. solicitation of murder is okay, how quaint.)

Surprisingly nobody saw this coming /sarc, especially after Salman Rushdie published The Satanic Verses in 1988 and On February 14, 1989, the Ayatollah broadcast the following message on Iranian radio: "I inform the proud Muslim people of the world that the author of the Satanic Verses book, which is against Islam, the Prophet and the Qur'an, and all those involved in its publication who are aware of its content are sentenced to death"

"Isnt this illegal?"

Only in the modern world.
