Fatwah This.

Religions scare the shit out of me. Why, you might ask? Because religious extremists like to solve problems by killing. Always issuing fatwah's and shit.



Here's one:
Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuela's president

August 22 broadcast of The 700 Club:

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

Here is another:
Bin Laden obtains Fatwah
After Sept. 11 bin Laden was criticized by Muslim clerics for launching such a serious attack without sufficient warning. That has now been given. And bin Laden has even obtained a fatwa, or Islamic decree, justifying a nuclear attack against the United States on religious grounds.

"He secured from a Saudi sheik named Hamid bin Fahd a rather long treatise on the possibility of using nuclear weapons against the Americans. Specifically, nuclear weapons," says Scheuer. "And the treatise found that he was perfectly within his rights to use them. Muslims argue that the United States is responsible for millions of dead Muslims around the world, so reciprocity would mean you could kill millions of Americans."

How about a good old Texas Fatwah? Madness.

Why doesn't Jesus do something about these people? I'm losing faith...
