Are we just stupid Americans? Hey, some guy in Encino (OK San Diego County) makes a porn flick…..and the Muslims blame our entire country? This is pretty odd if you think on it. Remember Salman Rushdie? They still have Fatwa out on him. Luckily, he lives in England – in a witness protection program. How many years have they been trying to track him down? Then came the famous “Burning Koran Preacher” on the East Coast. What happened there? The Muslim Mullahs from their Ulama group of Scholars immediately came out with a Fatwa (Muslim Legal Opinion)….to do bad things to that small time church!
We just have to get the rules straight! How come some great Muslim Organization or Iman hasn’t come out with the exact reason why they can go crazy in 14 countries and try to kill American Embassy folks and burn down our property? Where is Mitt Romney on this issue? Does he have an opinion? The Muslim Brotherhood and 27 other various Muslim Organizations around the world are entirely entitled to do whatever they want. Hey, it’s a free world – after all. People can do whatever they want, as long as they realize there will be a few probable consequences. Not everyone can get along, we grasp that. What we do not grasp is how the rules can change without any notice. It sort of like having your long distance phone company not allow you any phone calls over 100 miles from your home – one day and without telling you about it.
The Fatwa has always been the method by which Muslims around the world have made their voices heard clearly. What has changed? How come their isn’t a Fatwa about this guy in San Diego? If someone made a Fatwa against the whole country of the United States and every non-majority Muslim country in the world….we need to see that and we need to know who wrote it.
At any rate, the least all these nasty groups of Anti-Americans can do……is issue a Fatwa….so we know what they are really protesting!
“Innocense of Muslims” – Where is The Fatwa?
Salman Rushdie was on Laurence O’Donnell tonight and said that this whole senario is fradulent…..and was only an excuse to unleash the most violent groups…….all without a Fatwa….Shows that the whole thing is contrived and without any real meaning…….
Bring on the drones………..seems to be the concept.
I think, the “Innocence of Muslims” video is BIGOTED GARBAGE as evidenced by one of its premises, and is intended to demonize a group and elicit hate and incite violence, from both sides.
The Prophet Muhammad is portrayed as both a homosexual and a womanizer.
This is a glaring contradiction, whose purpose, I think is to ascribe “evil intent” to this behavior.
There’s no necessary contradiction between engaging in homosexual activities and being a womanizer, Paco. Bisexuality would allow it, for one.
@ Greg D:
But Bisexuality is NOT Homosexuality and vice-versa.
The main point though is that it seems that the makers of this trailer/video are throwing around labels and allegations with intent to incite hatred.
Yes, I know — I’m just saying that one can both engage in homosexual acts and still be a womanizer. Wasn’t Julius Caeser, for example, both?
Or maybe he went through a Marcus Bachman “pray away the gay” seminar.
*The major issue is a knotty pine room…….come on you guys…….this is about Islamic Terrorism which is NOT authorized by a suitable FATWA or Mullah’s indictment and opinion of what is worthy of putting out a death order. This has not been done. The Ulama is the Scholarly equivalent to our Supreme Court for Muslims.
When Salam Rushdie got his Fatwa it was from the Allatollah Kholmenie…..in Iran. That FATWA was never fully vetted by the Ulama and therefore degraded into putting out a so-called death reward for Rusdie’s demise…..which most folks knew was bogus.
At any rate, the attack on our Consulate in Libya and the resultant deaths of our four
Americans came by way of a Planned Attack by a Red Dog group associated with Al-Qaeda and certainly not approved by any FATWA by any Muslim Authority that we know of. If you know of a formal FATWA against our Embassy’s around the world…let
us know!
@ RAW:
“This is about Islamic Terrorism…”
I think this is about extremism, bigotry, hatred and intolerance . . . and when you have any or all of these elements present it may lead to violence/terrorism and a perceived religious difference may or may not be used as the excuse or “rationalization” for this violent behavior.

“Luckily, he lives in England – in a witness protection program.”
Actually he has lived in the US since 2000. Not in a witness protection program.
More bull ship. Every friggin’ article you write has a blatant falsehood.
