| Bakri calls for cartoonist to be executed under Sharia |
| 2006-02-06 |
| Omar Bakri Mohammed, the radical Muslim cleric, has said the cartoonist behind caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that have sparked outrage across the Arab world should be tried and executed under Islamic law. The cleric said the cartoonist had insulted Islam and must pay the price, as three people were killed during protests against the cartoons in Afghanistan. "The insult has been established now by everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim, and everybody condemns the cartoonist and condemns the cartoon," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "However, in Islam, God said, and the messenger Mohammed said, whoever insults a prophet, he must be punished and executed. "This man should be put on trial and if it is proven to be executed." The cleric said Muslims in Britain were not allowed to kill people who insulted Islam because it was against the law of the country. "We are not saying ourselves to go there and start to look to him and kill him, we are not talking about that. We are talking about Islamic rules. If anybody insults the prophet, he will have to take a punishment." He said if countries refused to put people on trial for insulting Mohammed they must "face the consequences". Three people were killed and several were injured as protestors clashed with police in the central city of Mihtarlam. It was the latest display of outrage against the cartoons, which were originally published in Denmark and have been reprinted in various European countries. Protests in London over the weekend sparked concern over placards containing radical slogans. |

| #11 If you took out the threatening Imams, their flock would run around like ants that lost the trail, you know, scene out of A Bug's Life movie. In other news, just saw on Drudge that Iran is putting up a Holocaust Cartoon contest. This sphereoid is going insane! My seethometer is heading up toward high, and getting to the gage retart protection section. |

| #9 DidnÂ’t Britain after the subway bombings pass a law that no hate or violent advocate support speech would be allowed by preachers or anyone? This guy should be arrested for rabble rousing and deported. Of course I would prefer imprisoned or even better executed but in Europe I would be impressed with deportation. |

| #6 Islam is a insult to Islam. Muhammand was NOT a prophet. He was a killer, a liar and a pedophile. Those who worship a thing like that are an insult to the human race. |

| #5 "However, in Islam, God said, and the messenger Mohammed said, whoever insults a prophet, he must be punished and executed. Ergo, Bakri should be the first to go for being so incredi-fu&king-bly stupid as to disgrace his own prophet by spewing such demented bile. we need an international wetcrew to do the odious task of taking this trash out....the correct Imams fall, the rabble has no instructions which target to destroy this Friday Even if it doesn't work in the long run, it's still worth a try. If only to let some sniper teams find true and total satisfaction for once in their lives. Bakri, Sadr, Krekar, Qawadari, Bashir, Hamsa ... just nailing this half dozen maggots would make a huge difference. Fomenting atrocities must carry with it the ultimate price. Advocating violent jihad needs to carry with it the risk of immediate and summary execution. Nothing less will stanch the spread of this pathological meme. |

Sorry to report there are no virgins left in heaven. I'm on my own and only the Jamaicans will talk to me (we have ashooting club here). Not what was promised, is it? Alas. May Allan protect you, Mahmoud. PS. I get the jokes now - it's little different here. |
