Although I wonder how it is structured - why can some Imams get by with issuing such statements? It's not very structured. Islam doesn't really have big religious organizations like the Catholic Church per se. And Salafism tends to be explicitly somewhat anarchist. Some crazy imams call for murder. Some of the more radical Muslims around here (Indonesia) tend to vandalize night clubs during Ramadan. That's mostly how far it goes. At least here, most Indonesians don't really want religious violence and Jakarta elections are probably bigger reasons for concern than is the movie. As for Christian equivalents, Ian Paisley comes to mind, but we aren't going to blame the fact that Christians believe their sect is right and others are wrong for the Northern Irish troubles are we? In case you are wondering, I am a heathen. I follow the older paths, and often lift a horn, preferably of mead, to Odhinn, Thorr, and Freyr....
