It's no mystery, it's barbaric.

It comes from Islamic law from which a mufti makes a judgment, after that judgment reaches a certain level, the individual can have the sentence of death upon him.


That, my friend is barbaric.

Yet, like Salman Rushdi, in Islam, the mere use of a word can be the cause for a fatwa of death. Mr. Rushdi never killed anybody and cannot deserve death for mere words, especially telling a bad story. Your countryman, unwittingly made Rushdie famous and rich, whereas he would have been poor.

We have an old saying in America, "Banned in Boston." If something got banned from Puritan days in Boston, it meant others would see it.

When you condemn somebody so publicly, you make him and his cause famous.
