Muslim Cleric: '$1 Million to Kill Cartoonist'
Topics: Understanding IslamA Pakistani cleric announced today a $1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew Islam's Prophet Muhammad. This, as thousands joined street protests causing Denmark to temporarily close its embassy and advise its citizens to leave the country.
Apparently the idiot cleric wasn't aware that there is not one, but twelve, cartoonists that drew the Danish caricatures of Muhammad!
The cleric offered the bounty during Friday prayers; that makes one wonder what kind of "religious" cleric preaches about murdering people, what kind of people listen to clerics making such calls, and who or what are they praying to and about! Must be something about that Arab Parallel Universe.

Subject: The Cartoonists Must DieUnder the dictionary words "hypocritical", "absurd" and "perverse" I offer the following example: a $1,000,000 reward offered by religious leaders to impoverished Islamic zealots for the murder of a cartoonist:
| Quote: |
| A Pakistani cleric announced a $1-million US bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew the Prophet Muhammad caricatures, as thousands rallied across the country Friday and authorities arrested scores of protesters.
(...) Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi, prayer leader at the historic Mohabat Khan mosque in the conservative northwestern city of Peshawar, announced the mosque and the Jamia Ashrafia religious school he leads would give a $25,000 reward and a car for killing the cartoonist who drew the prophet caricatures - considered blasphemous by Muslims. He also said a local jewellers association would give $1 million, but no representative of the association was available to confirm it had made the offer. "This is a unanimous decision of by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the Prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end will get this prize," Qureshi told about 1,000 people outside the mosque after Friday prayers. Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement and did not appear to be aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures. The crowd outside the mosque burned a Danish flag and an effigy of the Danish prime minister. (...) "Give enough power to the Muslim countries and enable them to take revenge," said Qari Saeed Ullah, a prayer leader in Islamabad. (...) Four effigies representing Danish, German, French and Norwegian leaders were hanged from lampposts. |
