Radical islam: the usual despicable tactics.

Yet another instance of the despicable tactics and scurrilous accusations of radical Islam:

Up to 21 prosecution lawyers called for the death penalty against Mohammed Al-Asadi, the Editor-in-Chief of the Yemen Observer, . . . . They [the newspaper?] recounted a story in which a lady was killed during the Prophet’s lifetime after she insulted him, and that the Prophet then praised the killer.

Twenty-one prosecutors! Guiness Book of Records anyone?

Twelve of the "prosecutors" ("clients" not known) "also demanded personal financial compensation for the psychological trauma they claimed they suffered by the actions of the newspaper" in publishing heavily blacked out copies of the Danish cartoons.

Such tender psyches these creeps have.

The paper had also published two accompanying articles that "made it clear that the newspaper had condemned the cartoons, had defended Islam and the Prophet (PBUH), and had reported the different reactions from all across the Arab and Islamic world." But only the publication of the cartoons mattered in the eyes of the "prosecutors," who jostled each other in the court room. "Trial" is postponed until March 22. Amnesty International is observing (no report on AA web site as of 1544 3/9/06).

What is it with these swine? If their cable TV service is interrupted, is the life of the cable guy in danger?

More to the point, we'd like to know if what Mr. Al-Asadi said is even true. That would be a start. Then it would be interesting to see if what he reported is in fact TRUE. Then we could have a discussion about whether anything published that accurately recounts what is in the Koran, sunnah and ahadith is grounds for a sentence of death.

Is there ANY other penalty for correcting wayward people in Islam besides stoning, beheading, or surgical removal of their appendages?

Crimanentlies! Don't ever double park in Yemen.

In fact, don't ever go to Yemen. Unless you're fascinated by time travel . . . or meeting with spittle lickers who run in packs. The scene from "Jurassic Park" comes to mind.
