Pittsburgh Cleric: Ayaan Hirsi Ali Must Die

The Religion of Peace offers up more of that Ghandiesque devotion nonviolence it's rightly famous for.

After trying to shut down a Hirsi Ali speaking date without success, they went to the natural plan B: Have her exectued.

Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Johnstown Islamic Center, was among those who objected to Hirsi Ali’s appearance.

“She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death,” said ElBayly, who came to the U.S. from Egypt in 1976. ...

Although ElBayly believes a death sentence is warranted for Hirsi Ali, he stressed that America is not the jurisdiction where such a crime should be punished. Instead, Hirsi Ali should be judged in a Muslim country after being given a trial, he added.

“If it is found that a person is mentally unstable, or a child or disabled, there should be no punishment,” he said. “It’s a very merciful religion if you try to understand it.

Truer words were never spoken.

I appreciate the cover-your-ass avoidance of a solicitation to murder charge ("Oh dear, I'm not talking about gunning her down on the street, I merely mean that if she ever visits an Islamic country, she should be lawfully beheaded"), but, given the unlikelihood of Hirsi Ali moving to Algeria, forgive me if I think some of the less peaceful adherents of the Religion of Peace get it in their head they should take the more expedient route of assassinating her.

Unbelievable.

Can you imagine if non-adherents of the Religion of Peace began advocating openly in a similar manner for the deaths of Islamist "clerics"?

I'm pretty sure you'd be arrested, or at least subject to a roto-rooter investigation.

But adherents of the de facto state religion are permitted a bit more latitude on such matters.
