And Now From The Fatwah Files 1B

So how are we suppose to tell the good Muslims from the radicals when:

Two Iranian grand ayatollahs issued fatwas calling for the killing of those who insult the Koran, including anyone who burns the Islamic holy book, the state-run Fars news agency reported.

No one was specified in the decrees, which were issued by Nasser Makarem-Shirazi and Hossein Nouri-Hamedani in response to questions asked by student groups from universities in Tehran, Fars said. Such an action against any individual could only be carried out with the authorization of an Islamic religious judge, they said.

“Undoubtedly, the blood of a person who burns the Koran should be shed,” Makarem-Shirazi was cited by Fars as saying. Everybody should “strongly condemn” such an act. (businessweek.com Ali Sheikholeslami)

But it's ok for students to burn the American flag, and to burn a coffin with the phrase "Liberal Democracy" on it.  Note: Muslim radicals aren't afraid of liberals as they are of coservatives!

So where is the tolerance? And why are these radicals ALWAYS wanting to put someone to death!  For crying out loud, and THIS is a peaceful religion? And how am I suppose to tell which ones are friend and which ones are foe when they ALL subscribe to the same Holy book which supposedly directs their paths?
