The Religion of "Peace" strikes again
Iran's hard-line Islamic spiritual leaders have issued an unprecedented fatwa, or holy order, approving the use of atomic weapons against the country's enemies. Muslim clerics for the first time have questioned the theocracy's traditional viewpoint that Shariah law forbids the use of nuclear weapons. One senior mullah has now said it is "only natural" to have nuclear bombs as a "countermeasure" against other nuclear powers, a reference considered to be the United States and Europe.(Source)
Now. Just try to imagine any other religion on earth approving not only the production of nuclear weapons, but the use of them!

Frankly, I *can* imagine it, back when the Catholic Church was more government than church... admittedly a long time ago.
But for these guys, the two are inextricably linked and intertwined, so they make pronouncements like this all the time.
The huge difference between the two if that there is no central structure against which to leverage change, as there was for the Catholic Church.
