Islamic Justice Rivals The Inquistion

Salman Rushide's "The Satanic Verses" earn him a fatwa known in the wild west as "kill on sight". The Danish newspaper, The Jyllands-Posten, publishes some cartoons depicting Mohamed and all hell breaks loose in Islamic communities. A teenage Saudi girl is raped fourteen times and sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail. The latest, a British teacher in Sudan is convicted of insulting Islam after her class named a teddy bear Mohamed. She's sentenced to 15 days in jail and lucky for her she is to be deported after serving her sentence. This evidently does not satisfy bloodthirsty Muslims who take to the streets demanding her death. Christians and Jews in their historic past have stained their religions with bloodthirsty justice so Islam is not alone in calling for torture and death in the name of a God. It is troublesome that clerics of all shades who rise to positions of power impose forms of justice which make their religion a tool of Satan.
