Corrupt Muslim clergy.

Les fils du Saladin.
We're so cross!
A Pakistani cleric who offered a $1.3 million bounty for killing one of the artists.
Another one of those imams with the ability to "reach out and touch someone."

We mean, is this, like, legal in Pakistan? I doubt this would be prosecutable in the U.S. as an incitement to immediate violence, something likely to cause an imminent breach of the peace.

In Muslim countries, however, given

  1. the intergalactic authority of just about any joker with a pulse to condemn some hapless soul half way round the world to death, and
  2. no dearth of deranged fruitcakes ("Deranged Fruitcake Syndrome") willing to act on that authority
wouldn't there be a good chance of a conviction for incitement to an inevitable murder?

God, the brass of these jumped up "experts" on medieval canon law. Memorize the Koran and next thing you know you can remote hex someone in Denmark for shipping the wrong cheese.
