Kill the Mouse
When assholes like Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan, who's the top banana of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judiciary Council, issue fatwas (or edicts) that are just death threats or jihads against Arab TV executives for showing "immoral" TV, it makes it harder and harder for an old lib'ral like me to retain religious tolerance.
Four days ago, Sheik Mohammed Munajjid called for Mickey Mouse to be killed. I shit you not. Yes, they're calling for a cartoon character to be executed. These are our allies in the war on terror, ladies and gentlemen, the same dick-twisters that are putting the screws to us at the pumps over our alliance with Israel.
And let's talk about terrorism for a minute: How is issuing death threats against TV execs for broadcasting "immoral" content on Arab TV supposed to do anything about curbing terrorism while issuing such fatwas like the one issued against Salmon Rushdie by the Ayatollah Khomeini?
I've always known how hypocritical Arabs are, especially the bloated, unctious fucks in the royal family. Saudi Arabia is a country where the women can't even drive a car and are often made to wear burqas but their malls sell racy lingerie.
But when their uptight, out-of-touch clerics start openly calling for the execution of people, I can only conclude that these potential brain tumor patients never got out of the 11th century. After all, when you start calling for public executions, then you start sounding like certain Republicans and right wing evangelicals.
And, trust me, you don't wanna be compared to those animals, guys...

JP,
If you thought putting a hit on Mickey was the craziest fatwa ever, allow me to disappoint you: http://www.cracked.com/article_15951_9-islamic-fatwas-we-can-get-behind.html.
Metinks the 11th century is further than the wacky wahabbis want to go. I think it may be closer to the 7th.
