Top cleric in Saudi judiciary: it's OK to kill owners of TV networks airing 'immoral content'


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content.
The 79-year-old Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan said Thursday that satellite channels cause the "deviance of thousands of people."

Many of the most popular Arab satellite networks -- which include channels showing music videos often denounced as obscene by Muslim conservatives -- are owned by Saudi princes and well-connected Saudi businessmen. Al-Lihedan did not specify any particular channels.

And Islam is a "religion of peace", gimme a break........

I will admit that I saw a commercial that caused me some great reservations. It was a Trojan commercial about some fingertip vibrator for women. What's next ?? Some commercial about some other homo-erotic self-pleasuring device?? The world IS in a moral decline.

Breaking, DumbAss Tanker has issued a decree that it is not only permissible, but highly encouraged, to kill Islamic clerics who make rulings sanctioning the murder of anyone outside their own backward little theocratic sandpiles.

I can't find where I saw it now but some Egyptian priest has a Christian show seen all over the midest. He has a $50,000,000 (50 Million) dollar price on his head. He's worth more than OBL. ....and in my opinion, a lot more danger.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
