Islamic Cleric ISO British Slave and Concubine

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's campaign to convince the world that Islam is, "a religion of peace and moderation," was dealt a bit of a setback this morning when Reuters reported that Abdul-Satar al-Bahadli, a cleric and follower of the Iraqi Islamist , Moqtada al-Sadr, preached a sermon in Basra offering a reward of roughly U.S. $170 for the capture of a female British soldier. al-Bahadli told his audience that if captured, the female British soldier "should be handed to the office of Sadr, the martyr, and she will be treated as a concubine."

It must be frustrating to Abdullah and other Muslims who seek to export their religion to an unsuspecting West, when an obscure cleric in Iraq makes international headlines with a pronouncement that is both barbaric and completely in accordance with the Koran and the Hadiths. Abdullah's loss is our gain, as every slip-up feeds the West's awareness of the true nature of Islam.
