Cleric Offers Reward For Cartoonist's Head

How's this for a "religion of peace"? A Pakastani Muslim cleric is offering a $25,000 reward to anyone that kills the artist of cartoons creating so much controversy, voilence, and destruction throughout the world. The Toronto Star has more:
Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi, prayer leader at the historic Mohabat Khan mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar, announced the mosque and the Jamia Ashrafia religious school he leads would give a 1.5 million rupee ($25,000) reward and a car for killing the cartoonist of the prophet pictures that appeared first in a Danish newspaper in September.

"Whoever has done this despicable and shameful act, he has challenged the honour of Muslims. Whoever will kill this cursed man, he will get $1 million dollars from the association of the jewellers bazaar, one million rupees from Masjid Mohabat Khan and 500,000 rupees and a car from Jamia Ashrafia as a reward," Qureshi said.

"This is a unanimous decision of by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end, will get this prize," Qureshi said.

The media through a fit over Pat Robertson's remarks to have Hugo Chavez "taken out." Where's the same outrage over the countless Muslims and Cleric Quereshi?
