quebecois- I get your point. It's a bit like saying you don't blame moderate muslims for the actions of a few radicals. Your position is what I like to call....wrong.
"Saudi daily al-Riyadh reports that an Egyptian salafi cleric (Mohammed El-Zu’abi) has issued a fatwa allowing eating the flesh of demons and jinn (djinn or genies)."
This is great news for Toronto District School Board Cafeterias!
and speaking of fatwa's...remember kiddies, they're the law !
In a 2000 Fatwa titled “The Transmitted and Sensory Proofs of the Rotation of the Sun and Stillness of the Earth”, Saudi Arabian Grand Mufti Sheikh Ibn Baaz asserted that the earth was flat and disk-like and that the sun revolved around it. He had insisted that satellite images to the contrary were nothing but a Western conspiracy against the Islamic world.

The Fatwa: Muhammad Al-Munajid: Bring Me the Head of Mickey Mouse
That’s right, somebody put on hit on Mickey Mouse. Calling Mickey “one of Satan’s soldiers,” Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid decreed that household mice and their cartoon cousins must be “killed in all cases”, according to the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph.
And get this—the guy’s not your average nutjob, either—Munajid used to be a former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington D.C. He made the remarks on Arab television network al-Majd TV after he was asked to give Islam’s teaching on mice.
But don’t worry, Mickey won’t be alone. Munajid also put a hit on Jerry from “Tom and Jerry”. Maybe they could rent a flat with Salman Rushdie
and let's not forget about Salman...
In 1988, publication of Salman Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses” led Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini to issue a fatwa against Rushdie, with a huge bounty for his death. This triggered several attacks on the novel’s translators, publishers and booksellers, including the murder of Japanese translator Hitoshi Igarashi. Millions of Muslims around the world who had never read a single line of the book, and who had never even met Rushdie before, wanted him dead. Interesting fact, 24% of Iranians at the time couldn’t even read.

no word on whether motorcycles or dogs are 'tomboyish' Kate so you're off the hook...for now
A University of Massachusetts study recently reported that girls who play sports have higher self esteem, and are less likely to enter (or remain in) abusive relationships. Could this fact have threatened the he-men at the Malaysia National Fatwa Council? Maybe. Perhaps that’s why Kuala Lumpur had a near riot on their hands when the Sisters in Islam marched against a Malaysian fatwa banning tomboys, which branded any girls who act un-ladylike as violating Islamic tenets. Fortunately, the as-yet undefined punishment for Malaysian girls in t-shirts and jeans hasn’t been incorporated into Sharia law yet.
In 2007, the former dean of Islamic law at al-Azhar University in Cairo issued a fatwa that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a marriage between husband and wife. Debate was immediate. Suad Saleh, head of the women’s department of Al-Azhar’s Islamic studies, pleaded for “anything that can bring spouses closer to each other” and Islamic scholar Abdel Muti concurred, saying “Nothing is prohibited during marital sex, except of course sodomy.”
For his part, Al-Azhar’s fatwa committee chairman Abdullah Megawar backpedaled and said that married couples could see each other naked but should really cover up with a blanket during sex.
In May 2007, Ezzat Attiya wondered how unrelated men and women could work together in the same office, when Islam forbids men and women who aren’t married or related to be alone together. His answer: let her suckle him FIVE TIMES. Yes, that’s right, an adult female breastfeeding an adult male coworker will defuse all sexual tension in the office. See, the female worker will now be the male worker’s foster mother, and they can be alone together anytime.
Do these people ever actually wonder why or care that the rest of the world thinks they're nuts?
~Brian M.
No.
They see themselves as the servants of Allah and their world view cleaves between those who submit to Allah(themselves) and those who don't.
Those who don't...don't matter except as an obstacle to making all the world Islam.
They are already bent out of shape about non-family men seeing a woman’s hair, seeing and touching as hairdressers do, is waaay over their line of comfort.
I am strongly against the occupation and blockage of Gaza and the palestinians.
At the same time.. I don't support Hamas, any Islamist or Christian fundamentalist people.

The Israelis disengaged from the Gaza strip over 3 years ago.
Gaza is only 'occupied' by Muslim Arabs, I agree with you that it should be made 'unoccupied'.
There are no palestinians, never were and probably never will be.
Please contact Libby Davies for the officially approved Hamas hairstyle and "look" so men will not possibly get a boner during your visit (see photo http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/017230.html#comments). Left Feminist and Sharia burqua fashions have been declared equally acceptable by Hamas and are a new breakthrough in cross-cultural fashion where East meets West.
As amusing as they may be, remember that these fatwas are taken as the LAW by over a billion people, to the point that they will kill you dead for disagreeing with them, even if you're a good dhimmie liebral. The truly frightening thing is that the main thrust of Islamic takeover, waves of imigration and the overthrow of governments, sometimes through civil insurrection as we see spreading throughout the few semi-sane Middle Eastern states, soon to be followed by a single 'election' placing a hardcore fundamentalist 'party' in power to ban further elections and burn churches and synagogues...and sometimes through targeted immigration to overwhelm politics on the local, regional and eventually national levels such as we see happening in Britain where there are towns that are under sharia law and where British police and officials dare not go...and in France where entire cities are paralyzed at prayer time when kneeling crowds fill the streets instead of being pushed aside by rubber bladed bulldozers..rest assured that any non-muslim praying in the street in Islamabad would be a hood ornament in seconds....WE did this folks, WE rolled over and let the PC crowd put reverse assimilation into play with the ludicrous 'multi-culturalism' of the truedough drones..I hope the moonbats enjoy their beards, burqas and beatings...they asked for them.
Nothing surprises me via that medieval cult anymore, the Islamic Scholors who issue fatwahs are whacked in the head. Here's some recent Fatwahs-you decide: You can have sex with your dead wife, eat a genie or jinjuue or what ever you can force women to breast feed strangers and one leading Islamic Scholor wrote a book on how to have sex with babies and animals. Did I leave anything out?
No doubt Hamas will find uses for the confiscated curling irons and hair dryers.
It has been mentioned by Fatah to the MSM that Hamas interrogators apparently
find battery powered portable drills great for question and answer DIY projects

New Technology Makes Textiles Permanently Germ-Free
ScienceDaily (July 6, 2011) — A University of Georgia researcher has invented a new technology that can inexpensively render medical linens and clothing, face masks, paper towels -- and yes, even diapers, intimate apparel and athletic wear, including smelly socks -- permanently germ-free.
The simple and inexpensive anti-microbial technology works on natural and synthetic materials. The technology can be applied during the manufacturing process or at home, and it doesn't come out in the wash. Unlike other anti-microbial technologies, repeated applications are unnecessary to maintain effectiveness.
"The spread of pathogens on textiles and plastics is a growing concern, especially in healthcare facilities and hotels, which are ideal environments for the proliferation and spread of very harmful microorganisms, but also in the home," said Jason Locklin, the inventor, who is an assistant professor of chemistry in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and on the Faculty of Engineering.
The anti-microbial treatment invented by Locklin, which is available for licensing from the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc., effectively kills a wide spectrum of bacteria, yeasts and molds that can cause disease, break down fabrics, create stains and produce odors.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one of every 20 hospitalized patients will contract a healthcare-associated infection. Lab coats, scrub suits, uniforms, gowns, gloves and linens are known to harbor the microbes that cause patient infections.
Consumers' concern about harmful microbes has spurred the market for clothing, undergarments, footwear and home textiles with antimicrobial products. But to be practical, both commercial and consumer anti-microbial products must be inexpensive and lasting.
"Similar technologies are limited by cost of materials, use of noxious chemicals in the application or loss of effectiveness after a few washings," said Gennaro Gama, UGARF senior technology manager. "Locklin's technology uses ingeniously simple, inexpensive and scalable chemistry."
Gama said the technology is simple to apply in the manufacturing of fibers, fabrics, filters and plastics. It also can bestow antimicrobial properties on finished products, such as athletic wear and shoes, and textiles for the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
"The advantage of UGARF's technology over competing methods," said Gama, "is that the permanent antimicrobial can be applied to a product at any point of the manufacture-sale-use continuum. In contrast, competing technologies require blending of the antimicrobial in the manufacturing process."
"In addition," said Gama, "If for some reason the antimicrobial layer is removed from an article -- through abrasion, for example -- it can be reapplied by simple spraying."
Other markets for the anti-microbial technology include military apparel and gear, food packaging, plastic furniture, pool toys, medical and dental instrumentation, bandages and plastic items.
Locklin said the antimicrobial was tested against many of the pathogens common in healthcare settings, including staph, strep, E. coli, pseudomonas and acetinobacter. After just a single application, no bacterial growth was observed on the textile samples added to the culture -- even after 24 hours at 37 degrees Celsius.
Moreover, in testing, the treatment remained fully active after multiple hot water laundry cycles, demonstrating the antibacterial does not leach out from the textiles even under harsh conditions. "Leaching could hinder the applicability of this technology in certain industrial segments, such as food packaging, toys, IV bags and tubing, for example," said Gama.
Thin films of the new technology also can be used to change other surface properties of both cellulose- and polymer-based materials. "It can change a material's optical properties -- color, reflectance, absorbance and iridescence -- and make it repel liquids, all without changing other properties of the material," said Gama.
One commenter pointed out that Gaza ranks 8th in the world for Obesity - I absolutely believe that. BTW - the flotilla visitors can stay in one or more of the many beyond 5 star opulent hotels and eat at a number of the beyond stunning and ridiculously extravagant restaurants in Gaza. These hotels/restaurants are so opulent they make Donald Trumps home and office look like a parking lot and garage by comparison.
A travel website ran photo's and travel/vacation videos promoting these hotels and restaurants in Gaza back in 2009 - can no longer locate the link or website; unfortunately, but Atlas Shrugs posted one of the video's of a hotel and some pics of the overflowing markets in Gaza awhile back.
