Islam the Fragile Religion
The case against Editor-in-Chief of "Sanat" newspaper Samir Huseynov and journalist Rafiq Taghi

Is a religion worth a human life? Is Islam so sacred that no one may question it? Who makes these rules? Why should Islam or any religion or ideology be worth a human life! These are just a few questions that came to my mind when reading about Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani's fatwa against Rafig Taghi, the Azeri Journalist and Editor-in-Chief of "Sanat" newspaper Samir Huseynov. I checked the Grand Ayatollah's website and this sentence jumped out: "We are from God and to Him we shall all return". Let's agree this is what we all believe in. What I like to know is who has given this Ayatollah the right to play God! Who says the political Islam is indisputable! This Ayatollah should be brought to justice in a non religious court and be sentenced for spreading hate and being the mastermind behind the murder plan.
