Religious Fundamentalism

Filed under: — Rhesa @ 19:33 PST

Nigerian journalist Isioma Daniel speaks out about the riots sparked by her article about the Miss World contest.

Apparently, Muslim extremists don’t know what sarcasm is.

In related news, Iranian hardliners have renewed the fatwa on author Salman Rushdie that their late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini decreed in 1989 because Rushdie blasphemed Islam in his novel The Satanic Verses.

I’ll refrain from sarcastic jibing here, though I will say one thing. Some extremist factions in Islam may be considered very dangerous, depending on their weapon capabilities, but for the most part, their threats sound so outlandish that it’s kind of hard to take them seriously. The only reason one should want to take them seriously is because of their desire to kill a lot of innocent people.
