Patrick al-Kafir posts about Mr. Shoaib Iqbal, the deputy speaker of the Delhi Assembly approving of the Uttar Pradesh minister for minority welfare and Haj, Haji Yaqoob Qureishi's offering a 510,000,000 (sic) rupee reward to anyone who beheads the Danish cartoonist who drew Mohammed.
Mr. Iqbal stated that calling thus for someone to be beheaded is in accordance with the sharia.
Ok, let's get this straight. What could probably be prosecuted in the U.S. as incitement to murder is, according to Muslim law, perfectly proper. Not only that, a Muslim doesn't even have to be an imam, mufti, sheikh, or caliph in order to invoke this legal sharia sanction, he can just be a layman.
As we've already seen, there is no known concept of jurisdiction in the sharia either, so this guy -- with no qualifications other than that he is a Muslim who made the Haj to Mecca – can call for this beheading to be carried out in a country some 4,000 miles away.
This would be on the order of a Presbyterian Director of Family and Social Services in a state government in the U.S. offering a reward of $ 11,500,000 (sic) for a Presbyterian in Argentina to behead a Buddhist there for dissing Jesus.
Why do we get the impression the sharia means just about anything that any Muslim wants to say it does, can be interpreted by anyone as they see fit, and can be invoked by any Muslim to have an infidel killed anywhere at all, quite without protest or sanction of any kind by any Muslim religious authority.

A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.
