Check this out guys; this might as well be the WTF news of the year. http://www.canadaka.net/link.php?id=37170 "Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari seems to be heading towards fresh trouble as the prayer leader of the Lal Masjid in the heart of Islamabad has issued a fatwa against him. The prayer leader said the act was un-Islamic and unbecoming of a head of state of a Muslim country."
The statement he made was indeed something which a president should not make at any diplomatic meeting he said You are gorgeous! Now I know why most of the America is crazy about you!! Then when photographers insisted to shake hands he said " I might hug you if they insist so much"
"you must spread some reputation around before giving it to contentedge again" BAHAHAHAHAHA Hilarious!
He is not a Mufti so he can't give Fatwa. According to the article it seems more like an statement/opinion rather than a "fatwa". State heads should not pass comments like that specially the one with very bad reputation.
Of course Palin is beautiful to him, he never gets to see women without things covering their head or face. Which is probably for the best considering most of the women i've seen without them over there.
Ive heard about Fatwas being issued for all kinds of reasons: Salman Rushdie for writing a book Sania Mirza for wearing skirts!!! Its nothing new about this story. They issue fatwas for just about anything!!!!
A Chicago artist is drawing crowds to his bar after painting a portrait of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in the buff. Bruce Elliott unveiled the 4-foot-tall portrait at the Old Town Ale House on Chicago's North Side last Thursday, the Windy Citizen reports. The governor is wearing her trademark hairdo, holding an automatic rifle and standing naked on a polar-bear skin rug. "I don't see how she could be offended by this," Elliott told the Windy Citizen. "I made her into a sex figure." The bar is well known locally for its portraits of bar regulars and Chicagoans, the Windy Citizen said. But the naked Palin portrait has been "very successful" for the bar owner, who admits to the Citizen that he's a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama. Elliott told the news service that his daughter Grace posed nude for the portrait. "My daughter is a heck of a stand-in for Sarah Palin," he said. "She can even do the voice." It's not the first time a female politician has been rendered in the nude. In 2006, sculptor Daniel Edwards created a bust of Sen. Hillary Clinton. A nude study used for the piece was featured in a short film on YouTube entitled "Hillary's Bust." source FOX ---------------------- The guys daughter posed for the painting...a little odd. Here is the uncensored version of the "artwork" http://gawker.com/5056362/nude-palin-painting-shocks-and-awes-chicago
I've heard of that. But Ayatollah Khomeini issued an actual 'death sentence' against Sir Salman Rushdie. Is there a religious body in Islam that monitors the kind of fatwas issued by religious leaders?
It was a nude picture. So, I thought it might lead to some legal complications. Anyway, the guy is lucky he's in the US. If it was India, he would be in big trouble. Stupid, dimwitted politicians are treated like demigods here.
Al Gore still gets that treatment by some and he is as dimwitted as they come. In fact he can market a whole video full of bad science, lies and half truths as scientific fact with no resistance from the media or Hollywood.
