Quote:From what I hear its a hoax, something to get westerners worked up
Again, it is not if we follow Raymond Ibrahim who has uncovered many such Muslim absurdities. The hoax blame comes, according to him, from the incredulousness of the liberal press which cannot deal with opinions outside its range of tolerable opinions other than by discrediting their factuality altogether. These hoaxes are real, such crackpot demands have been forwarded by Islamist scholars; the real problem is the perception bias of the Western and liberal press which cannot accept them as reality because these demands and opinions come down so far outside their own system of beliefs.
