Deviant Diatribes

Sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder what the hell 'Muslim clerics' are on. Case in point:

Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content. The 79-year-old Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan said Thursday that satellite channels cause the "deviance of thousands of people."

Wouldn't murder be classified as deviant?

"I want to advise the owners of these channels, who broadcast calls for such indecency and impudence ... and I warn them of the consequences," he said. "What does the owner of these networks think, when he provides seduction, obscenity and vulgarity...those calling for corrupt beliefs, certainly it's permissible to kill them"

Oh, ok, that makes it all better.

Basically he says it's ok to kill people for inciting deviance. Now I could be foggy on this, but as far as I know, murder is considered deviant; I'm pretty sure he just signed his own death warrant.
