"Popular" Saudi cleric issues fatwa inciting Muslims to "avenge" themselves upon Israel

Jumping on the bandwagon. While the Saudi king plays "diplomat," the Saudi sheikhs command Muslims "to strike anything that has a link to Israel, calling it a legitimate target for Muslims everywhere."

"Saudi cleric issues fatwa urging Muslims to avenge Gaza raids," from the Haaretz News, December 28:

A Saudi Web site on Sunday reported that a popular cleric has issued a fatwa urging Muslims to target Israeli interests everywhere, to avenge the attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The site, Rasid, posts news about Saudi Arabia's Shiite community and on Sunday said that Sheik Awadh al-Garni has issued a religious edict urging Muslims to strike anything that has a link to Israel, calling it a legitimate target for Muslims everywhere.

Al-Garni, whose [sic] is popular in the kingdom, is not a member of the official religious establishment.

Fatwas are not legally binding, and it is up to the individual Muslim to follow them...

These last two sentences say it all. For if fatwas are not "legally binding," it matters little whether Al-Garni is a member of the "official establishment" or not. Similarly, that he is "popular in the kingdom" indicates that many Saudis will take his decree quite seriously.

Hamas sent rockets for days. They were warned. Israel is taking care of thousands of black africans the arabs will not help, because they are haters of blacks.

Israel has a right to fight back. THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST, ASK JEREMIAH WRIGHT. O HE LOVES HAMAS!

Hey, where is UN? What do the Muslims think of that? I hear no Islamic or Western government urging this nutjob to s-up! Where are NYT guys?

Lets assume some Rabi in Israel made the same statement instead against the Moslims, what would be the reaction?? Its too obvious.

In return, that should make Moslems everywhere legitimate targets for retaliation following any such strike.

If we follow Moslim logic, they believe we are all their enemy, that makes them all legitimate targets. Its literally crazy being a Moslim... you always worry who you associate with. There is no surprise the young Moslims line-up with suicidel waist jackets. The world appears flat and upside down to them.

Stop bombing Sderdot.

I don't understand what this fuzz is all about. These terrorists love to die and Israel is granting them their wish while putting them out of their miseries. It is a win-win situation for both, the Israelis will be able to get rid of some Muslim terrorists and these Muslims terrorists will get to meet the 72 Muslim virgins they have been waiting to meet all their lives. So why are the Muslims so angry? Do they know the truth that there no virgins waiting for any of them? They must because they are acting like they know the truth.

Have they been lying to us about their love for death?

So now it seems like the Muslims Terrorists are both liars and cowards.
