Religious Groups Place $1.6 Million Bounty on Hebdo Staff

Religious parties Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) announced a bounty of Rs100 million on the people who made and published the caricatures.

Hundreds of activists led by JI’s Abdul Mastan, JUI-F’s Amir Hidayatul Haq and ASWJ leaders protested against the cartoons on Friday in Shabqadar and adopted a declaration urging people to boycott French products.

Addressing the protest, Mastan demanded that the federal government expel the French ambassador from Pakistan, while JUI-F’s Maulana Wakeel Ahmad said Pakistan should call a session of the United Nations and rally for a ban on publications insulting religion and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

A similar demonstration was also held in Tangi tehsil at Farooque Azam Square where JUI-F MNA Maulana Gohar Shah, JUI-F Charsadda Amir Hashim Khan, JI Charsadda Amir Misbahullah along with other leaders demanded action against the controversial cartoonists and urged the Islamic world to unite against such freedom of speech.

If their (religious nuts) god were truly great, why would he need mere mortals to do his dirty work?

I'm not picking on Islam, I mean my statement to apply to any religious fruit loop that takes it upon himself to act for his/her God.

I thought you would take notice of my post.

I'll bet you that ISIS , Boko Harem and AQAP would score an even !00%.

At least in the modern day sense. It seems to be a bunch of neolithic/stone age types that must have stumbled through a time portal into this century.

But, you are insulting the neolithic homo sapiens who invented agriculture and civilization itself by comparing these guys to them.

Ok... we can get the walton's involved now, as that is clearly a rip off of their trade marked store name. Finally some money will be on our side!!

Islam, like the other Abrahamic religions, is a religion of peace, beauty, and purple unicorns that fart strawberries. Anyone who says otherwise ought to be summarily executed for blasphemy.
