#1 I've been soliciting people to program an online fatwa generator, that will say things like "The Mufti of Burbank has declared putting funny hats on dachshunds to be punishable by wedgies."

#2 What? The Bukhari Hadith contains 8000 hearsay comments and stories that are accepted as originating with the Muslim "prophet" (Pig-crap Be Upon Him). But Bukhari's biographer claims the compiler gathered Hadith from collections totalling 600,000. Compilers reject based on the weight of evidence, consistency to already accepted Hadith, and obvious deceit resting on self-interest (the basis of the formation of the Shiites). If falsification was admitted by Bukhari - whose collection is deemed "holy" by the al-Azhar Sunnis - then Tantawi can hardly produce a credible fatwa that denies that Muslims have been faking Hadith from the origin of the cult. Muslim' "sacred" text should be converted to toilet paper.

#3 I'll wait for body counts before deciding how serious this is.

#5 "a way to go back to the Middle Ages"

Certainly a feature, not a bug.

#6 Any fatwa that puts the Shiites and Sunnis at each others' throats is a good thing. These stupid SOBs will all die in an attempt to be more Islamically pure than one another. Sadly, it just cannot happen fast enough.
