Al-Jazeera Reports on Swedish Mohammed Cartoon
Posted by george on 27th September 2007
Strangely, Al-Jazeera has this a bit wrong. The title they have given this video on YouTube is “Fatwa for a Swedish cartoon”. But any nutter website site, Islamic or not, can’t issue a legal fatwa, any more than I can issue a Papal Encyclical. This is a death threat, nothing more. And the European Fatwa Council, which is authorized to issue fatwas, has actually issued one against this death threat as un-Islamic.
On the other hand, reporter Barnaby Phillips doesn’t seem to use the word “fatwa” once. He just speaks of death threats. So someone back at Al-Jazeera made the mistake.
