#1 At this rate, proponents of the death penalty in Yemen will have a demographic advantage within a generation. I think any actuary would agree.

#2 For years Al-Zindani has been associated with the most radical of Islamists. He is an especial friend of Hassan al-Turabi who chaired the Khartoum-based Peoples Arab and Islamic Conference (The Terrorist International) in the early and mid-1990s.

#3 If Yemen erupts into a civil war, do we have to clean it up? I'd just prefer to Napalm them and claim what's left as a US seaport.

#4 Normally tough to agree with socialists, but I can make an exception for these guys.

#5 Charles, I'm not sure that napalm for the desert is the way to go.

#7 "The al-Zindani Fatwa"... I like it. Reminds me of "The Screwtape Letters"...

Get a good script man to punch it up, and maybe we have a "go" pic...

#8 Daimnation has a link to dial-a-fatwa:

"A Toronto Muslim has had a fatwa placed on her head for the unpardonable sin of celebrating a holiday in favor of the prophet Muhammad. It turns out these guys have a toll-free number - 1-800-95-FATWA - which you can use to rat on any Muslim who's not living in accordance with the tenets of Wahabbi Islam."
