Is that a fatwa in your pocket...

Or are you just glad to see me?
DUBAI — The head of an al Qaeda-led group in Iraq has offered a $100,000 reward for the killing of a Swedish cartoonist for his drawing of Islam's Prophet Mohammad and threatened to attack major Swedish companies.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, also offered $50,000 in an audiotape posted on an Islamist Web site on Saturday to anyone who killed the editor of the newspaper that published the drawing by Lars Vilks.
You'd think some of these self-described devout Muslims would have something else to do with their bags of cash, like say... helping Iraqi or Aghani refugees... but apparently they simply have murder on their minds.

And no room for anything else.
