Well, the point I thought was obvious, namely that the Jihadists aren't able to
make the logical connection; they can't think logically -- or they don't give a
rat's ass about logic. The offense (according to the Islamists) was that
Spencer argued that Islam isn't tolerant, and isn't a religion of peace. The
Islamists responded by the fatwa ""May Allah rip out his spine from his back
and split his brains in two, and then put them both back, and then do it over
and over" which demonstrates Spencer's point. Such a Fatwa is neither tolerant
(they don't want Spencer to write any more such books) and isn't peaceful. I
find this amusing. My point is that it is funny. This is one of the funnier
sequences moving from the offense (Spencer's books and articles) to the
response (which proves the point of Spencer's books and articles).
If I have offended your Leftist sympathies for the Jihadists and Islamists,
feel free to send me your fatwa.

One of the most active anti-Islamists I've run across is Robert Spencer. He
wrote such books as The Myth of Islamic Tolerance: How Islamic Law Treats
Non-Muslims, Religion of Peace?; Why Christianity is and Islam isn't, The
Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), and The Truth about
Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion.
Anyway, the Islamists have had enough of him. They've filed a lawsuit against
him: "A powerful Washington, D.C. law firm told YAF that Robert was, in
essence, a hate-filled liar and that CAIR had ordered the law firm "to purse
every available and appropriate legal remedy to redress any false and
defamatory statements that made" at the conference." [sic]
And I suppose to distance themselves from the hate-filled Spencer, they've
issued a fatwa: "May Allah rip out his spine from his back and split his
brains in two, and then put them both back, and then do it over and over."
You've got to love their thought processes: You say we aren't peaceful and
tolerant? You can't get away with that: May Allay rip out your spine from your
back and split your brains in two, and then put them back, and then do it over
and over. You've got to love it.

ps: Where did I get this information? I was sent a letter asking me to
contribute to Spencer's legal defense fund. It was in that letter.
