Saudi Issues A TV Fatwa

Graphic: The Fatwa Pig

From this source, on the business page of Yahoo! News, on September 12, 2008:
Top cleric in Saudi judiciary: it's OK to kill owners of TV networks airing 'immoral content'

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content.
In the past, Al-Lihedan called upon Saudis to fight against American forces in Iraq. Now he's moved his jihad-by-fatwa to the media.

Will Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal find himself under the shadow of a fatwa? After all, the prince owns Rotana, the most popular of the Arabic satellite networks.

Anyway, just wait until more Moslems invest in Western satellite systems. Censorship will take center stage.

And think of all the shows you like, the shows that you will no longer be able to watch. Remember: Sayyed Qutb found the crooners' song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" immoral. The Moslem perception of immorality differs from that of the West's.

Another reason to be sure we infidels win!

Always:

You are so right when you say that censorship will take centre stage when they've bought up the media. The tentacles of Islam are tightening their grip on us; and the powers that be are all lying down and letting it happen.

We ain't seen nothin' yet. Hang on in there a little longer. The sparks will have to fly. Do I see someone over there rubbing two pieces of wood together?
