Default Holier than Thou

I wonder who the Islamic fanatics are going to blame for 220+ dead, 1,100 wounded, and 12,000+ homeless in Nigeria. Somehow the hate America crowd will find a way.

For those who haven't followed this, the above is the result of the flap over a statement by a newspaper person (female) that Mohammed would probably select a wife from among the Miss World contestants.

The Government of Nigeria issued a fatwa ordering the murder of the newspaper person. The local Deputy Governor said, "it is binding on all Muslims wherever they are, to consider the killing of the writer as a religious duty."

And then the Muslim community wonders why non-Muslims believe in profiling and stereotypes. I don't agree with profiling and stereotyping, but I sure understand why it takes place.

Just for public knowledge, a fatwa is not a religious order or law. It is merely someones opinion on a subject. It is not "legally binding."
