"Unfortunate," yes. But not all that out of line with what they believe, evidently. From AFP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
NEW DELHI - An India court on Monday rejected demands for action against a lawmaker who put a bounty of 11.5 million dollars on the heads of Danish cartoonists who drew controversial images of the Prophet Mohammed.A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Y. K. Sabharwal described as “unfortunate” the offer made by Mohammed Yaqoob Qureshi, a minister in the Uttar Pradesh state government, last month.
The court, however, said it cannot “entertain” such appeals and suggested the petitioner, Vijay Kumar Tiwari, register a criminal complaint with the police against the firebrand Muslim politician.
Qureshi told a Muslim rally after Friday prayers last month that he would give “the avenger” 510 million rupees (11.5 million dollars) and his weight in gold....
Denmark last week agreed indefinitely to postpone an April 2 visit by Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen after New Delhi reportedly warned the trip could rekindle protests in India, home to 130 million Muslims.
Odin,
For them it is very easy to get gold; through extortion, smuggling, drugs, mafia etc.
Dawood Ibrahim, who was once king of the bombay underworld, has his hand in all such rackets and he is currently a guest of the ISI in Karachi, Pakistan, the great buddy of George Bush. Dawood went into hiding after executing the bomb blasts in Bombay in 1993, using explosives supplied by Pakistan. There is an interpol red alert currently operative against him but Pakistan denies that Dawood is in Pakistan.
Vijay Tiwari is too civilized. He should instead look for thugs - there are enough of them in UP - to liquidate this minister.
Denmark should pull its envoy from India, unless India decides that protests against foreign dignitaries won't be tolerated. While Hindus go about their work, the Muslims and Marxists are busy protesting. They need to be rounded up before any foreign visits to India.
The article doesn't mention any change of heart by the Minister who put out the bounty, Mohammad Qureshi. Does the offer still stand?
Note that this offer is only in the tens of millions, not the trillions that the Saudis have available. But of course any true Muslim wouldn't be enticed by this offer, since they would not have any use for material wealth, it would just be a corruption in this realm.
I'm certain this politicians death threat was taken out of context.
