Is it premature to start praising the Religion of Peace?

"That fatwa against him is still in place, I think."

Nope. Iran's leadership lifted the fatwah in 2000 or thereabouts. I remember some putz trying to link the lifting of the fatwah to the 9/11 attacks when some were trying to link it to the Iranian government.

They're saying he may lose an eye. Sounds like the perp did quite a number on him.

Judge a man by his enemies..  Here's to a swift recovery for Mr. Rushdie and damn the boy loving goat rapists.

It's a good thing there were police there to protect him, or who knows what might have happened?

The initial appearance is that the assailant is indeed a fatwah kind of guy.

Very good.  That'd be 36 double-taps.  Would be 24 triple-taps if he had another orifice.

I'm not sure you understood the reference. My bad -- I neglected to follow Terry's Law.

The Virginians joke was self-explanatory. 

My remarks about double taps was an erotic reference.

Kind of abstruse, so forget it. I thought it was the new style for APS to throw stuff out that was off the wall.

Islam had nothing to do with this!  Islam is a religion of peace.

  I read somewhere that Iranian government is not endorsing a fatwa, only the spiritual leaders of Iran endorse the fatwa.

Islam had nothing to do with this!  Islam is a religion of 93% peace.

Better?

All that will do is make him a glorious martyr.

As happy as I am that he was killed, I really think it would have been a lot more wonderful had Osama Bin Laden ended up spending the rest of his life in Florence, Colorado, in solitary.
