Please read properly before fingering the keyboard. It is not our ruler who issued the fatwa, but the supreme ruler of iran, who also has millions of religious followers. I was talking about ayatollah ruhollah khomeini. Now you can start an entymological study of what ayatollah means, but it is pointless. An ayatollah's fatwa put him in danger, and mullah fatwas destroy the lives of thousands of people in India and elsewhere all the time.Your ruler is your PM not some mad Mullah....Have you seen how many times PDF Pakistanis call Mullahs mad...now you know why....
Salman Rushdie was an example of how fatwas can destroy lives and endanger people, and I said it to demonstrate the hollowness of your breezy assertion that fatwas are mere opinion pieces.Oh you mean the one who brought in Salman Rushdie?
