Restoring Fatwa?

Okay, so, I've been laying low about this story about the silly Comedy Central's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.

So far, the stories I have seen have not been very interesting. Just a bunch of unemployed, lazy suckers, who believe that The Daily Show is a legitimate source of news.

Here's a photo that was found on Drudge.

Wow. How original. I guess they forgot, or they are completely ignorant of the fact that Hitler was a SOCIALIST, like their president Obama. Unbelievable. I guess when you tell a lie long enough, you really can get some people to believe you all the time and, the democrats are the biggest proof of that example.

So, apparently, this Cat Stevens, who is now referred to as Yusuf Islam, preformed at this rally. This is the guy that supported the fundamentalist Islamic fatwa against author Salman Rushdie, who wrote, "The Satanic Verses.” In this book, Rushdie, criticized Islam and for that, a fatwa was issued against him.

The musician known as Cat Stevens said in a British television program to be broadcast next week that rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie, ”I would have hoped that it’d be the real thing.”

The singer, who adopted the name Yusuf Islam when he converted to Islam, made the remark during a panel discussion of British reactions to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s call for Mr. Rushdie to be killed for allegedly blaspheming Islam in his best-selling novel ”The Satanic Verses.” He also said that if Mr. Rushdie turned up at his doorstep looking for help, ”I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like.”

”I’d try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is,” said Mr. Islam, who watched a preview of the program today and said in an interview that he stood by his comments.

So, this is who Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert shared the stage with? Is this some kind of sick joke? Why would they want him to perform at this rally? The liberals in this country have moved so far left, they are completely insane. Why are they always aligning with a religion that actually did support Hitler, people who believe in stoning homosexuals, people who torture and kill for reasons of political descent, people who treat women like animals, ect. The list goes on and on!

Oh, but us right-wingers, we're the real threat because we want to stop them. It's just unbelievable to me.

I'm sort of saddened by this story. I've always liked Jon Stewart, regardless of political differences but, this is just a little too much for me.Very poor judgment.
