Actor Liam Neeson invites fatwa, compares Mohammed to an animal

Hmmmm. Perhaps actor Liam Neeson hasn’t thought out his politically-correct comments thoroughly enough. He seems to be asking for a fatwa when he says his character in the Narnia movies could represent Mohammed.

Fatwa! Liam Neeson has compared Mohammed to an animal that licks its own...well...you know what cats do.

The Telegraph UK has the details of Neeson’s death wish:

The actor who voices the lion in the film adaptations of the books has angered some fans of the stories, who claim he is distorting Lewis’s intentions to be “politically correct”…

Lewis was clear that the Aslan was based on Christ, and once wrote of the character: “He is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question: “What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia?”.” 
In the climax of the first book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan sacrifices his life to save Narnia, before rising from the dead, a plot which is widely believed to represent the crucifixion and the resurrection.

But ahead of the release of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third Narnia book to be made into a film, next week, Neeson said: “Aslan symbolises a Christlike figure, but he also symbolises for me Mohammed, Buddha and all the great spiritual leaders and prophets over the centuries…”

Liam Neeson just compared Mohammed to a filthy animal.

Congratulations, Liam. You may be the first person nominated for an Academy Award and a fatwa in the same year.

Fatwa-issuing Saudi radio talk show host taken off the air

Dr. Laura wasn’t the only radio talk show host to lose a gig this week. Just the only rational one. The Los Angeles Times has the sad news about a fatwa-issuing Saudi Arabian talk show host who’s now out of work:

Dr. Laura wasn’t the only radio talk show host to lose a gig this week. Just the only rational one.

The Los Angeles Times has the sad news about a fatwa-issuing Saudi Arabian talk show host who’s now out of work:

Abdel Mohsen Obeikan fatwa
Fatwa-issuing Sheik Abdel Mohsen Obeikan has a face made for radio

No more fatwas for Sheikh Abdel Mohsen Obeikan, the Saudi cleric and royal court adviser who earlier this year earned notoriety for rolling out an eyebrow-raising religious decree that called on women to give men breast milk to avoid illicit mixing.

Saudi authorities on Wednesday reportedly pulled the plug on Obeikan’s radio program “Fatwas on Air,” a daily morning show in which Obeikan would go on air and issue fatwas – religious rulings — to the public on various matters.

Taking the sheikh off air appears to come as part of Saudi king Abdullah’s recent clampdown on the nation’s fatwa bazaar.

In a bid to stop unauthorized clerics issuing odd religious decrees, the king has reportedly put out a royal decree authorizing only members of the Council of Senior Islamic Scholars to issue fatwas from now on.

With a resume like this, we don’t expect Obeiken to be out of work very long. According to what we hear, CNN’s search for Larry King’s replacement has been narrowed down to Obeiken and Ryan Seacrest.

Holy Moly! Just wait ‘til the radical Muslims see the Mohammed Image Archive

The Mohammed Image Archive has archived hundreds, maybe thousands of drawings of the Muslim prophet. Many not that Islamist jihads wouldlike.

Muhammad image
Crybaby Muhammad. Just one of the hundreds of illustrations found in the Mohammed Image Archive

Our Everybody Draw Al Gore Day competition is spreading across the internet. It has more than 5,400 7,300 Google references now. We don’t know if we’ll actually get any entries, but we’ll get some laughs.

Of course, our idea is a parody of Seattle artist Molly Norris’ brilliant “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.” But Norris quickly canceled that Allah image event out of fatwah phobia.

Fear not, Molly. The Mohammed Image Archive makes our little contests look like…well…little contests. It has archived hundreds, maybe thousands of images and pictures of the Muslim prophet. And at last report, the curator is still enjoying good health.

ZombieTime.com illustrates the story:

The Mohammed Image Archive is a compendium of images that depict Mohammed (the 7th-century founder of Islam), spanning all historical periods, cultures and genres.

The inspiration for this Archive came from the global controversy over the publication of Mohammed cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, and the need for a comprehensive and even-handed look at the wide variety of Mohammed depictions in Islamic and Western societies from the Middle Ages until today. It will remain online as a resource for those interested in freedom of expression.

This website has Mohammed drawings galore. So many, in fact, that they are divvied up into categories like Islamic Depictions of Mohammed in Full, Islamic Depictions of Mohammed with Face Hidden, European Medieval and Renaissance Images, Dante’s Inferno, Book Covers, Satirical Modern Cartoons, The Jyllands-Posten Cartoons, and our personal favorite, Extreme Mohammed. Allah images, Muhammad pictures, it’s got it all.

Holy friggin’ fatwah.

Happy Everybody Draw Muhammad Day! – May 20, 2010

Fatheads issue fatwah: Bangladeshi woman caned 39 times for “lying” about child’s father

This isn't just another culture, it's another planet.
This isn't just another culture, it's another planet.

This is one of those items you rarely read in the biased liberal media because it calls into question their devotion to moral relativism.

A 22-year old woman is fighting for her life after being caned 39 times in Bangladesh.

Police chief Moshiur Rahman said the 22-year-old unmarried woman angered Islamic clerics by telling friends that a neighbor was the father of her six-year old son.

When she and the alleged father appeared before a Islamic court, the man denied the charge.

“He held a Koran in one hand and swore to the village clerics that he was not the father of the boy. The village court found him not guilty,” Rahman said. “They also issued a fatwa that the woman should be caned 39 times for lying.”

Half the players in the NBA immediately called their attorneys and told them to try “the Bangladeshi defense.”

Idiot jihadists get confused, issue fatwa on wrong guy

Attention, jihadists: This is the wrong Rusty.
Attention, jihadists: This is the wrong Rusty.

Don’t you hate it when Islamist extremists threaten your life? Especially when they do it by mistake? 

That’s what happened to radio talk show host Rusty Humphries. He was the target of a fatwah issued on a vile blog called “The Jew Report.” Unfortunately, the genius jihadists confused Rusty Humphries with Rusty Shackleford, a pseudonym used by the author of My Pet JAWA Report, a website that exposes online support of Islamic terrorists.

The threat, which included a photo of Humphries, said: “Yes this Fat descusting (sic) pig you are looking at is the boss of the website Jawareport.com but their are many fat kafirs like him you might ask why are we talking about him here’s why.”

“The Shaabab and muslim Leaders have said enough is enough he has to go and they dont mean move….Inshallah we will see his Fat rottan (sic) torso dumped in the side of the road or in some Florida swamp.”

In other news, the same Muslim extremists hage declared a fatwah on spelling and grammar.

Salman Rushdie issues fatwah against Slumdog Millionaire

salman-rushdieOne would think a novelist would understand the concept of “creative license.” But not Salman Rushdie. He’s offended that Slumdog Millionaire contains scenes that (gasp) aren’t realistic.

The Indian-born author recently told an audience at Atlanta’s Emory University that the Academy Award-winning film “piles impossibility on impossibility.”

Rushdie, who gained more fame for hiding than he ever did for writing, spent years cowering in a closet after Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwah against him in 1989.

The author of “The Satanic Verses” was in a tizzy that the “Slumdog Millionaire” scene at the Taj Mahal is, in reality, more than 1,000 miles from where the previous scene took place.

Why stop there, Salman? How about the fact that “The Wrestler” showed Mickey Rourke with an attractive woman, “Benjamin Button” aged in reverse, and “Milk” depicted Sean Penn as rational.
