Why is the issuer of a Fatwa death decree, not charged with incitement to commit murder?

Question

As in the case of the Rushdie Fatwa, which still stands after several years, and all he did was write a book.

Answer 1

I know almost nothing about this being a non-Muslim, but as I understanding a fatwa is a judgement by an Islamic "judge" and they are issued on many subjects. My other understanding is that a fatwa does not survive the issuer. In other words the judgements issued by any particular judge cease having a validity once the judge dies. That means that since the judge who issued the fatwa against Rushdie is dead, the fatwa is no longer in effect.
As to your question concerning incitement to murder, I'm confident that if a judgement involving a death penalty was issued by anyone here in Canada, then the person issuing that would be liable for a charge as you say. They would be liable not only for incitement to murder but also for usurping justice. Here only the Crown (official legal system) has the prerogative to make legal judgements. What happens in other countries cannot be acted upon legally in Canada except for crimes against humanity (which this would not qualify as).

Answer 2

Good question. I think that all terrorists should automatically get the death penalty and anyone helping them should be put away for life for aiding and abetting. Also charged as an enemy of the people and state. I don't care what their name is. And that goes for libs that get in the way of the prosecution of terrorists.

Answer 3

Because the folks who say those sorts of things are in countries where religion controls the state, versus here in the US where the two are separated. In Iran, where a lot of that seems to come from, the mullahs run the government. Their definition of murder is a lot looser than the Western variant. Sad, but true.

Answer 4

Almost impossible to charge the mentally ill with a crime. Remember, you are not dealing with people that are firing on all cylinders. Everyone has a photographic memory ...some just don't have any film.

Answer 5

Excellent question. I would love for Muslims in the countries where fatwa is practiced to answer this questionl.

Answer 6

By the Biblical Code of Divine Justice, he has already been charged with murder. Now it is only a matter of time.

Answer 7

Because Muslims actually believe God wants Muslims to murder people who criticize and question Islam.

Answer 8

btw, read Rushdie's book.? coz if u would have read it then u wouldnt be saying it. India was the first country to ban the book. he did not leave one man on face of the earth, be it hindu diety Ram to jesus-pbuh to mary-a.s to muhammed-pbuh and even Margeret Thatcher was a super ***** accd to him. plz read what he has written in his books.

if u want to know what he wrote in his book, then see the link, u will know how much he has disgraced every relgiion and every country on earth.

AN EXCERPT FROM THE NOBLE BOOK OF SALMAN. THESE ARE NOY MY WORDS, ITS SALAMAN RUSHDIE'S.
The Jehovah's Witnesses, a very active and most militant evangelistic Christian sect, never use the expression "four-letter word" in any of their literature though a four-letter word is the kingpin of their preaching.7 They have invented a fourteen-letter word to describe a four-letter word. Imagine! They ever and anon substitute "TETRAGRAMATTON" instead of simply the word "four".

Rushdie has overcome this typical British aversion by making a "four-letter" word into a seven-letter word by simply adding the present participle suffix to the word **** by adding I-N-G, making it *******. See how adoritly he made the whole British nation swallow the word ******* while Rourke's "****" was gettting stuck in their throats.

"OH. SHE'S (Maggie) RADICAL ALL RIGHT. WHAT SHE (Maggie) WANTS - WHAT SHE (Maggie) ACTUALLY THINKS SHE (Maggie) CAN ******* ACHIEVE IS LITERALLY...FROM ******* SURREY AND HAMPSHIRE...NOBODY'S EVER TRIED TO REPLACE A WHOLE ******* CLASS BEFORE...THIS COUNTRY THAT'S STUFFED FULL OF ******* OLD CORPSES. (Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" page 270).

It is strange that the British can stomach four "fuckings" in one paragraph from Rushdie but one "****" from Rourke infuriates them. Is it because Rushdie is there brother-in-law and son-in-law combined? (Remember! His divorce first whife was British.) A cursory count will give you 5 FUCKS and 52 FUCKINGS in this what the Western world has called a literary masterpiece! Don't forget, only 52, just one "*******" for every week of the year!

One can't help agreeing that "The Satanic Verses" is a masterpiece for *******-up the English language. He has conjoined his word "*******" with every letter of the alphabet. Here is a quick summary of some of them. Verify the rest at leisure.

CHRISTIAN AND JEW UNITE
What would they say of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Rucie, who has said in the first official statement by the Church of England "ONLY THE UTTERLY INSENSITIVE CAN FAIL TO SEE THAT THE PUBLICATION OF SALMAN RUSHDIE'S BOOK HAS DEEPLY OFFENDED MUSLIMS BOTH HERE AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD." The Anglican Primate continued: "I UNDERSTAND THEIR FEELINGS AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT OFFENCE TO RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM OR ANY OTHER FAITH IS QUITE AS WRONG AN OFFENCE AS TO THE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF CHRISTIANS."

And what have the dullards on the Rushdie bandwagon to say of the Chief Rabbi of Britain, Lord Jakobovits, who has the first religious leader in Britain to "DEPRECATE....THE OFFENCE CAUSED" by the book, has reiterated his view that it "SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED." In a letter to The Times (4th March 1989) the Chief Rabbi also agreed on the need for "PROHIBITING THE PUBLICATION OF ANYTHING LIKELY TO INFLAME, THROUGH OBSCENE DEFAMATION..." What motives can we attribute to the three above? Nothing other than the Love of God and Love of Man based on Eternal Thrust. The Holy Qur'an describes these godly men as "And among them (the Jews and Christians) are Mu'mins, (meaning Faithful, Sincere People)..." Holy Qur'an 3:110

But lest we are deluded into complacency, the All-Wise Merciful God reminds us in the concluding phrase of the above verse "But the majority of them are perverted transgressors."

How amply are the words proven true, again and again! Are these atheistic and materialistic so-called Jews and Christians beyond redemption? No! We are never to despair! There is still much good in them. Learn to talk to them rationally, not emotionally. Give them living examples from their day-to-day affairs.
