Italy: Mayor Critical of Islam Earns his Very own Fatwa....

Lucky him.....

(ANSA) - Treviso, November 21 - The Northern league deputy mayor of this northeastern Italian city, who was given the nickname 'The Sheriff' for his hard line on immigration, said on Friday that he was unafraid of a fatwa which was allegedly issued against him.

''I defend my culture, my religion and civilization without any fear and so is natural that I will make some enemies,'' Giancarlo Gentilini told ANSA on Friday.

''The world is full of madman and megalomaniacs and its clear that being a member of the Northern League who is not afraid to say what he thinks could place me in a disagreeable position,'' he added. According to the local press, police consider the Islamic ruling against the deputy mayor, who has also served as mayor of Treviso, to be credible and believe it was issued in response to anti-immigrant remarks he made during a recent Northern league rally in Venice.

A fatwa is in itself not a threat but a religious opinion issued by an Islamic scholar. The one regarding Gentilini was said to have been issued several months ago.

Security has already been boosted for Gentilini has been under police protection for over five years ago after sparking controversy with his outspoken views and actions.

We're at the point where one nation-just one-needs to point the entire West in the right direction regarding Koranism. Arrests, deportations, the closing of mosques and madrassas and profiling the remaining Koranists all need to happen as an experiment. There will be the usual media outcry from the world's idiots about all the "-isms" and there will be more fatwas of death but it MUST be done. When a person can't even express an opinion in his own country on Islamania without getting a fatwa of death then the West is indeed finished. Shame on the media for not giving this story all the publicity possible-20 years ago the Rushdie affair rightly was a big media topic. Has the world and its media sunk so low so fast?
Never mind-I think I know the answer.

Every time I hear about somebody like this, I think, "Hero." And then I think, "What can I do to fight I-slime significantly enough to get my own fatwa?" Do they come with a certificate or something? Hmmm, maybe I could start a business ...
