#1 It wasn't a Christian or Jew or Hindu flying those planes into the WTC on 9-11. It was true believers following another member of the tight turban crowd who issues a Fatwah - Osama Bin Laden.

#2 It's the Fatwas themselves, or rather their being taken seriously as having the force of law that's the real problem. The west got rid of that crap about a thousand years ago - we don't think the Pope's decrees have any but moral signifigance, for example.

How worried is Jacques Chirac about the threat of being excommunicated and declared anathema - destined inevitably to hell?

Not very, is my guess.
