The Muhammed saga continues
I’m a pompous theocratic fool
His eminence Grand Sheik Sayyed Tantawi of the al-Azhar in Cairo — the most respected religious authority in the Sunni Islamic world — won’t let go of the Muhammed caricatures. In an interview with Berlingske Tidende he now condemns their publication nearly a year ago as “one of the worst crimes ever,” and demands the following punishments:
* For the newspaper Jyllands-Posten: banning for several years.
* For its editor-in-chief: 1-3 years in prison.
* For its cultural editor, Flemming Rose: to be drawn as a pig.
No, I’m not making this up!
Memo to the Grand Sheik, his like-minded ulama, and their followers: the day you non-violently protest Israeli aggression with half the zeal which you have put into this farce, it will be possible to take you seriously again.
