| Saudi scholar's fatwa to kill Syrian President |
| 2012-02-27 |
| A well known Saudi Islamic scholar Sheikh Ayedh Al Qarni issued a fatwa on Sunday to kill Syrian President Bashar Al Assad. Al Qarni stressed in his fatwa that killing Bashar Al Assad is more important than killing Israelis, reported 'Al Bayan'. Meanwhile, Saudi-based 'Sabq' reported that Al Qarni, in an interview on Al Arabia Channel, urged Syrian people to take up arms against Bashar Al Assad's regime. In his fatwa, Al Qarni said that minorities and all other communities in Syria must enjoy freedom and security after Assad era. "Bashar is illegitimate and he is a murderer because his hands are blood stained. He killed hundreds of children, destroyed mosques...he is a rogue...," he said. He called on Syrian army to split and disobey President Bashar Al Assad. "It is not permissible for Syrian army to obey the tyrant...this is disobedience to the Creator," added Al Qarni. He called Al BaÂ’ath Party as a "rogue party". |

| #3 They did, at one time. But there's been a few centuries that have passed by since then. |

| #2 I cannot imagine Christian Church leaders telling their flock to kill Heads of State. |

| #1 It would be amusing if Assad put out a contract on this "scholar" and had him gunned down. The general rule is that the insolence of Muslim clerics bears an inverse relationship to the risk of bodily harm, despite their loud (and false) assertions to the contrary. |
