"Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi, prayer leader at the historic Mohabat Khan mosque in the conservative northwestern city of Peshawar, announced the mosque and the Jamia Ashrafia religious school he leads would give a $25,000 reward and a car for killing the cartoonist who drew the prophet caricatures - considered blasphemous by Muslims."

"This is a unanimous decision of by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the Prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end will get this prize," Qureshi told about 1,000 people outside the mosque after Friday prayers. "

I guess if other people, especially young people, take what this clown says seriously, it's no wonder it's a vicious cycle. If someone insults an imaginary person, go ahead and kill that person.........fantastic logic.

And kill the guy and you get a 'prize'? What is this, some kind or radical Muslim amusement fair?

I thought this part was pretty funny, in a sad sort of way:


"Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement and did not appear to be aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures."


So he doesn't know who to kill.........he just wants someone dead.

Sad, sad, sad.
