Surprisingly … in the NY Times:

Americans living under fatwa include three women who openly criticized Islam
NY Times, March 30, 2016:

Pamela Geller. (Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times)

Molly Norris was working as newspaper cartoonist in 2010 when she decided to draw a cartoon that would change – and endanger – her life. After headlines proclaimed that an episode of the TV show South Park that featured Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had been censored by Comedy Central, Norris fought for free speech the best way she knew how: with her pen. She drew a cartoon of Muhammad on household objects like a teacup, a thimble, and a domino, and images of the work went viral online as part of a campaign called “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day.” Soon, Norris’s life was threatened by radical Muslims, and the FBI was warning her to disguise her appearance and take precaution. Muslim cleric Anwar Al-Awalaki issued a fatwa calling for her death, a religious decree that encourages other Muslims to carry out the killing. She has since gone into hiding under a different name, in a different place.

Norris is one of a handful of individuals living under fatwa  in America today, including famed British author Salman Rushdie, Egyptian citizen and Christian convert Noni Darwish, and anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller. Though many pay for full time security, those under fatwa live in constant danger that they will lose their lives due to others’ religious beliefs.

“It is not safe, of course, not even in the West, for anyone who has a fatwa of death issued against them,” Nonie Darwish

If you’re sane and rational, you get a fatwa put on you. Hmm. Maybe we should import more of this to dilute effect. We could bring them close to us and talk to them. Yep, that’ll work. We can educate them on free speech, tell them to run into a bar of construction workers like myself and scream, ” Obama’s been arrested” and when we find out they lied, we won’t hand them their arse for giving false hope.

Muhammad permanently commended to crucify who critisize him.
& from the credible news-source Pamela Geller creates we know that these crucifixions happen a lot.
We shouldn’t give a platform to Muhammad’s manifest anywhere.

Start looking into Common Law Grand Juries. 4th branch of government. Done right we can outlaw Islam as it is sedition according to constitution. Get Imam’s to say they want to institute Sharia law and indict. A Common Law Grand Jury is from the Magna Carta and requires exactly 25 jurers. Its being done out west as we speak. Takes setting up, and must be properly done, but supreme court has never overturned one of their rulings. Has to be common law and they will try to get it into admiralty law where they have jurisdiction. Ways to prevent this, just have to know how. Brad

These scumbags want to go after women for ‘blasphemy’ or ‘apostasy’, yet fail to realize that the existence of their ‘faith’ is, in actuality, blasphemy against God Almighty. Muhammad managed to leave that part of the Bible he plagiarized out. There are explicit warnings against what this snake did.

Any person convicted of issuing a fatwa should be immediately imprisoned for not less than 10 years, hard labor, no consideration other than what every other prisoner gets, then deported. Shari’a law is not applicable to non muslims, it should not be applicable to anyone.

We could help some of the third world countries by paying them to house in their prisons the worst of our offenders. Someone issuing a fatwa would be a deserving felon for that.

I’ll never forget September 11, 2001. After seeing the death and destruction of thousands of innocent people, people jumping from buildings, the sick feeling it left me with. Later in the day I went to a large, multinational retail store only to be greeted by roughly 8 older, Muslim men standing at the entrance who just stared intimidatingly at people walking in. It was something I have never seen there since. It made my hair stand on end. And now these cowards, they put women on their kill lists. They are the lowest of low as we have seen in Pakistan. Going after women and children. Scum of the Earth. What kind of religion tries to use fear, death threats and forced submission on it’s adherents? It’s not a religion. It’s a death cult.

That is an insult to animals. Even animals have a moral code. These savages have no morals whatsoever. They justify any immorality or savage disgusting act by saying “If Muhammad did it, it is okay”. That’s great. Justify your life by emulating a vicious murdering pedophile.

Totally agree! I’m beginning to say it more often lately – and to mindless liberal “friends” who tend to sympathize (against all reason) with the muzzie mob. Namely, that pisslam is NOT a religion, but a political death cult masquerading as a religion; also, that it’s a death cult with a veneer of religion to fool – a la taqquia – the rest of the non-Muslim world.

Thanks for sharing. I too remb the days after 911. Was horrible. But what made me get involved , was the balls of the animals to want to put a mosque a block away. I was at the many protests and heard pamela speak. It took a while, and didnt look like we would prevail . But in the end, we shut it down. What was unbelievable was when Trump, years ago when all the protests were going on, offered these people like 20mil over what they paid, to move, and they still refused. Disgusting animals

Muslims like other animals mark their territory. Instead of urinating on everything they build mosques or take over churches and synagogues. The dome on the rock is an excellent example of this.
They think they are marking their victories doing this. They even tried to mark the crash in PA as an Islamic victory.

Intimidate them right back, show some skin, smile, point and laugh. muslim men are extremely arrogant, they fear infidel women in public when they can’t threaten and intimidate them. Get together with the girls, go on a goat hunt. Be prepared to be sarcastic and heap much abuse upon them.

Pam represents the essence of the American spirit and the fatwa on her was a declaration of war on that essence. It comes as no surprise to her fans and supporters but the invasion and destruction continues because no one else gets it. The enemedia joined in the general condemnation of this essence which is the best that is America.

I don’t have a fatwa on my head, but not for a lack of trying. I would consider it an honor to have one. That would mean that I have succeeded in getting under the skin of these freaking Zombies. Remember, Zombies are mindless monsters who shamble around terrorizing the world while trying to rip people’s heads off to get at their brains. Sound like anyone we’ve been discussing here? I don’t like calling them animals. Even animals, such as pigs and dogs, have morals and the ability to think for themselves. These ZOMBIES are lower than animals. And savages just isn’t descriptive enough, or insulting enough for these pieces of dung. Zombies works for me. Besides, we’ve been waiting for the Zombie apocalypse for years now. It looks like Owebama is trying to create it.

Is it not obvious Islam is not a religion? Congress should take action and remove Islam’s classification as a religion and declare it a subversive organization. Islam should again be permanently banned from the US.

Perhaps it’s time for the West to issue Fatwas of their own? Starting with all Imams, followed by all other levels of Islamic teachers and clerics. If that doesn’t do it, all attendees of Islamic mosques. If necessary, then those wearing niqabs. Perhaps even hijabs? Eventually madrassas?
That all, of couse, dependent upon just how tolerant Westerners will be with the willful slaughter of innocents of their own people.
Justinian’s pronouncements regarding waging war in a “Just” way may well fall by the wayside and the restraints of Civilization and the Judeo-Christian beliefs will no longer contain the anger of the West. And we will behave like the Islamic savages.
Sooner or later the idea of what goes around, comes around will penetrate their 8th century mentalities.
Or not.

I am very happy that the New York Times has Fred R. Conrad, who is able to recognize modern heroes like Pamela Geller.
However, on Easter 3/27, one of their slick liars, Matt Apuzzo, published a very mendacious article.
Titled “Who will become a terrorist? Research yields few clues.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/28/world/europe/mystery-about-who-will-become-a-terrorist-defies-clear-answers.html
he insists “there is still nothing close to a consensus on why someone becomes a terrorist.” quoting assorted liars and airheads. Some of those liars, like Hedieh Mirahmadi, are getting tons of federal money to divert attention away from Islam and toward other grievances like depression and lack of money.
Here is a consensus for you Matt. A billion muslims agree among each other that jihad is holy. They won’t tell you that, but they will tell each other that.

No future means no life means death means fatwa. Slander means a drawing of Muhammad or denial of his spoken beliefs in Allah’s command. BHO’s fatwa, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” That was issued Tuesday, September 25, 2012, to the United Nations General Assembly.

Isnt it funny how Hussain takes a quotation from Ronald
Reagan who originally said, “The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted, it belongs to the brave.” This was after the Jan. 28/1986 disaster of Space Shuttle Challenger. And those words from Reagan are so true. As well as his warning that “Freesom is never more than one generation way from extinction” as we are sadly seeing in Europe. Obama Hussain has taken those words and twisted them to his own agenda.

It’s been said that Islam can’t be destroyed because it is a multi headed ideal, like a hydra. Actually, there is *one particular* head that can be cut off and will kill The Beast.

No magic moon rock from the pedophile “prophet” = no more Islam. After that, hunt down and utterly destroy any left who adhere to the religion of piss.
