Iranian religious leaders issue death fatwah against Crayon burners

2010-09-13

Just following the commandments of the Religion of Peace. Expect more of this as they gain confidence and influence.

Have a nice day!

(Bloomberg) -- Two Iranian grand ayatollahs issued fatwas calling for the killing of those who insult the Koran, including anyone who burns the Islamic holy book, the state-run Fars news agency reported.

No one was specified in the decrees, which were issued by Nasser Makarem-Shirazi and Hossein Nouri-Hamedani in response to questions asked by student groups from universities in Tehran, Fars said. Such an action against any individual could only be carried out with the authorization of an Islamic religious judge, they said.

Undoubtedly, the blood of a person who burns the Koran should be shed, Makarem-Shirazi was cited by Fars as saying. Everybody should strongly condemn such an act.

#2 Funny how they don't think Allah can handle dispensing justice without their help. Kind of weak in the Godly powers department it seems.

#1 If it doesn't say "Genuine Al-Queda" on it then it's not really terrorism and in fact it's nothing we should care about at all. In fact these are sanctified death threats. And if you don't like it you're racist and guilty of attacking Shitlam.
