The only "fatwas" these idiots issue are to kill other people who somehow insulted them, hurt their feelings somehow, or didn't agree with some aspect of their hate inspired religion or drew a cartoon of Muhammad the Almighty Meathead.

I'm really getting tired of all this crap from the so called Muslim leaders who think they have the right to condemn individuals and societies because that particular person or society isn't willing to kiss their butts or honor their worthless god. Yea, you heard me right. These so called leaders of Islam are nothing but a bunch of power hungry tyrants.

What's the difference between them issuing a "fatwa" and my issuing one because I got upset that some scumbag artist put an image of 'Christ" in urine and called it art. I find that far more offensive than a cartoon of Mohammad with a bomb in his turban but you don't see me calling for the death of that particular artist. I think he's a scumbag, gutter crawling piece of crap but I'm not going to kill him or call for others to do it. How stupid would that be? How much sense would that make? How long do you think it would be before I got investigated for committing some type of hate crime? How stupid do think a person would have to be to say, Oh, yeah, he's right, I'm gonna go kill that guy". Well, this is how stupid the people that issue "fatwas" are and the people that follow them.

If I went out and killed somebody every time I got insulted or someone insulted my religion there would be dead bodies all over the place. What the hell kind of religion allows these type of things. It would be like the Pope saying it's okay for me to kill anybody that's not Catholic. How long do think I'd listen to an idiot Pope like that. I'd be more likely to eliminate him so we could get a new Pope with a brain. Every other religion I know of does not call for the elimination of people except for Islam. So what does that tell you about the religion of Islam. It is far from being a peaceful religion, isn't it.

I want to know how they possibly justify these "fatwas". Because their prophet or their god got insulted? Give me a break, please. How does anyone with a brain take these so called leaders seriously? Don't you realize they are telling you to go commit murder? Isn't their god powerful enough to deal with those that insult him? Or doesn't their god believe in forgiveness? Is their god only able to rule by terror? How do these so called leaders know that the "fatwas" they are issuing are okay with their god? Under what authority do they issue these "fatwas"? How can issuing these "fatwas" not fuel Islamic extremism? Or is it possible that there is no such thing as Islamic extremism because the entire concept of their religion is extremism? What does their religion say, convert, submit or die by the sword? Gee that sure sounds like a warm and fuzzy religion I want to belong to.

Sorry if I offended those of you who have been duped by this so called religion but it's time you took a long hard look at what your so called religious leaders are telling you, that you must do. If Allah himself comes down or up, depending on where he really hangs out, and tells you personally to go kill people than I can understand that you are following a direct order from your god. I'd do the same thing if my God told me too, personally. I damn sure ain't going to do it because some religious leader of mine said so.
