Roland Emmerichs, of Independence Day fame, destroys Christ the Redeemer in Rio and the Vatican in his upcoming film, yet when he also wanted to destroy a famous Islamic icon in Mecca his producer told him that there would be a fatwa ( a bounty) on his head if he did, so out of sheer preservation, he chose not to do so..

Well nice to see that imagination is blocked for fear of intolerance from religious types. Way to stand up to 'book burners' of all persuasions, Emmerichs.

He readily acknowledged that had he blown up the icon in his film, he would have a bounty on his head.

South Park wanted to put the image of Islam's prophet on their show. Comedy Central chickened out for fear of their lives if they allowed South Park to do this. But it's a religion of peace.

A bounty?

Forgive me but all I know that means is the Bounty Paper Towel. :-P

What does Bounty mean in terms of Islam?

I think one gains the favor of at least one of the multiple virgins in their heaven if they are obedient to the command to kill such an infidel.

Beats me. It's crazy, is what it means. Peaceful, my foot. And the muslim community tends to look the other way. A couple times I've heard a moderate muslim condemn such acts of violence, but rarely. They, too, are scared to speak up.

islam is worse than christianity.. they're both a scab on humanity..
one you're indebted to some hippie lookin dude for your sins upon birth.. the impression upon the human psychy in guilt is astounding...and...
The other you're put to death if you even move or speak or fart....

yeah.. religion is super cool...
if they speak for what's in heaven.. they can have it... f-that..

Gay.

Anyone looking to advance their religion by violence, will surely not attain whatever reward is promised in their religion.
