**Case against minister for seeking cartoonist’s death
**Lucknow | February 21, 2006 4:15:06 PM IST
A court in Ghaziabad, 20 km from New Delhi, is to hear on Thursday a case against Uttar Pradesh Minister of state for Haj and Minorities Welfare Haji Yaqoob Quereshi for declaring a reward of Rs.510 million for anyone killing a Danish cartoonist who caricatured Prophet Mohammed.
The minister had offered to weigh the assassin in gold.
The case was filed in the court of the additional chief judicial magistrate Narendra singh by local advocate Ajay Veer Singh, who alleged that local police had refused to take note of the minister’s “unlawful” utterances.
The minister has been accused of making statements amounting to a contract killing. The advocate has also expressed apprehension that the minister’s remarks could incite violence and provoke people to commit murder.
The additional chief judicial magistrate has fixed Feb 24 for the hearing.

But Dear radhika, you forgot the decision of God of Torah/Holy Bible/Judeo-Christian verdict.
Please take a look:
Leviticus 24:16
New American Bible
16 ** whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him; alien and native alike must be put to death for blaspheming the LORD’S name. **
[usccb.org/nab/bible/leviticus/leviticus24.htm#v16]
The following is a footnote from the Catholic’s** New American Bible**:
15 [32] The Jewish punishment for blasphemy was stoning (Lev 24:16). In coming to the Romans to ensure that Jesus would be crucified, the Jewish authorities fulfilled his prophecy that he would be exalted (John 3:14; 12:32-33). There is some historical evidence, however, for Jews crucifying Jews.

And please don’t forget to read the following:
Leviticus
Introduction
The name “Leviticus” was bestowed on the third book of the Pentateuch by the ancient Greek translators because a good part of this book consists of sacrificial and other ritual laws prescribed for the priests of the tribe of Levi.
Continuing the legislation given by God to Moses at Mount Sinai, Leviticus is almost entirely legislative in character; the rare narrative portions are subordinate to the main legislative theme. Generally speaking, the laws contained in this book * serve to teach the Israelites that **they should always keep *** themselves in a state of legal purity, or external sanctity, as a sign of their intimate union with the Lord. Accordingly, the central idea of Leviticus is contained in its oft-repeated injunction: “You shall be holy, because I, the LORD, am holy.”
usccb.org/nab/bible/leviticus/intro.htm
The question is those who are Israelites and those who are Judeo-Christians and those who are “friends” of Israelites, should always keep the laws of Leviticus, even now?
Or what the New American Bibleis telling ** “the laws contained in this book * serve to teach the Israelites that they should always keep themselves in a state of legal purity, or external sanctity, as a sign of their intimate union with the Lord”*** is meaningless?
Note: This Book-Leviticus-contains the following laws in chapter 24:
13 The LORD then said to Moses,
14 **"Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and when all who heard him have laid their hands on his head, let the whole community stone him. **
15 **Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses his God shall bear the penalty of his sin; **
16 **whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him; alien and native alike must be put to death for blaspheming the LORD’S name. **
17 **"Whoever takes the life of any human being shall be put to death; **
18 **whoever takes the life of an animal shall make restitution of another animal. A life for a life! **
19 **Anyone who inflicts an injury on his neighbor shall receive the same in return. **
20 Limb for limb, eye for eye, tooth for tooth! The same injury that a man gives another shall be inflicted on him in return.
21 **Whoever slays an animal shall make restitution, but whoever slays a man shall be put to death. **
22 You shall have but one rule, for alien and native alike. I, the LORD, am your God." **
23 ** When Moses told this to the Israelites, they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him; they carried out the command that the LORD had given Moses.

I dare say that its been some 1900 years since there was death by stoning in Israel.

And that was how many thousands of years ago.
Your zeal for self righteoussness based on the koran totally blinds you and all those whose heart is full of hate. Thus i say to you sons of islam, justice is the Lord’s. The Lord of the new Covenant who shed His blood for all of us.
Peace of Christ be upon you
