- Go to $1 Million Reward To Assassinate Cartoonist
This religious nutcase issued his bounty news in front of 1000 people.
Unfortunately, fanaticism isn't gender specific, so women are caught up in the zealotry also. On a good note, however, Bunny, those would make catchy bumper stickers!

Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi stated that a local jewelers association would
put up the $1 million, brettnik. He also said that his mosque would put up $25,000 and a new car.

From Bunny
Brettnik makes an excellent point. And here's another: how are they going to keep the news that they have $1 million in blood money from the Pakistanis who need clean water and medical care? Are the women who attend that cleric's mosque going to say, "Great! I didn't like those kids anyway! I'd much rather pay an assassin than a pediatrician!"
I hope someone is formenting a big revolt amongst the women of all Muslim countries. Arm your Abbaya! Hide a Handgun in your Hijab!

I keep wondering where the 11 million is coming from?
I mean, the Imam's I've met aren't rich. And neither are their parishes. Some opportunistic businessman or country is funding this transnational outrage, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's Qatar, Dubai and Saudi Arabian money promoting this "intifada" of sorts. There's a game plan here, I'm sure of it.

Yeah, we're on a never ending spin-cycle with these religious nuts. Not to
bash their faith, but when you believe that the mere construction or drawing of the image of Mohammed is blasphemous because it might lead to idolatry, your religion needs some serious reconditioning. That's like saying you believe in the crucifix itself, not the ideas behind its representation.

Yeah, I thought about collecting symbolicly. Let my burly stick-figure
assassin take out the evil libertarian cartoonist by employing an six-shooter eraser. Hmmm. Maybe that Muslim cleric could sketch me my reward. And then visit my buddy, hangman.
