A Pakistani Islamic cleric announced that his group has amassed a bounty exceeding one million U.S. dollars to be rewarded to anyone who kills the Danish cartoonists who had created the controversial images. Protests over the cartoons' portrayal of Mohammad have been raging on for over a week now in Pakistan and have led to five deaths so far.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Pakistani Muslim cleric and his followers offered rewards amounting to over $1 million for anyone who killed Danish cartoonists who drew caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad that have enraged Muslims worldwide.

The cleric offered the bounty during Friday prayers as Muslim anger against the cartoons flared anew in parts of Asia.

Weeks of global protests over the cartoons have triggered fears of a clash of civilizations between the West and Islam, and have led to calls on all sides for calm.

These poor cartoonists will probably have to live in hiding for the rest of their lives to escape these Muslim madman. I feel so sorry for them and their families.

In another development, a Pakistani cleric has been ordered held by President Musharraf. No word on detaining the imams that have ordered rewards, however:

President Bush is scheduled to visit Pakistan on Sunday. Watch for violent protests, even though the US has denounced the cartoons.

Nigeria cartoon riots kill 16

Churches burned in widespread violence as Danish cartoonist defends publication

The cartoonist at the heart of the row, who has gone into hiding after a bounty was put on his head and conducted his interview with the Glasgow Herald newspaper via written questions, said he had not expected such controversy but did not regret the drawings - the most controversial of which depicted the Prophet with a bomb in his turban - or their publication.

He defended it as 'a protest against the fact that we perhaps are going to have double standards [in Denmark and Western Europe] for freedom of expression and freedom of the press'. The inspiration for it was, he said, 'terrorism - which gets its spiritual ammunition from Islam.'

Still escalating to new levels of heresy with 16 dead in Nigeria.

Makes me wonder if their water has been poisoned to act that nuts.

Germ warfare?


Ever hear the old expression, "kill 'em and let God sort 'em out"? The iman's take their blasphemy very seriously, and this seems to be one of those matters where they issue the order to let God sort 'em out.

Salman Rushdie is said to have had 20 deaths blamed on the fatwa put out on him for "The Satanic Verses". His bounty was tripled to $3m, so this type of action shouldn't come as a big surprise.


The Holy War Against Salman Rushdie

Turning on the basic meaning of the Arabic word Islam, which is "submission," he suggests that its followers have been terrorized into belief. Worse still, a subversive reading of the life of Mohammed underlies Rushdie's novel. The very title recalls a set of suras, or scriptural verses, that Mohammed is believed to have deleted from the Qur'an, Islam's holy book, after deciding that he had composed them under Satan's influence.


With a blasphemy of this order, it is the duty of the Iman to impose the fatwa. The same as a western court of law would impose a death penalty.



In early 2005, Khomeini's fatwa against Rushdie was reaffirmed by Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a message to Muslim pilgrims making the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Iran has rejected requests to withdraw the fatwa on the basis that only the person who issued it may withdraw it.
