Arabs denounce cleric's fatwa on 'immoral' TV

Obscenity isn't the only thing that disturbs some. On Tuesday, another Saudi cleric, Sheik Mohammed Munajjid, said the cartoon character Mickey Mouse should be killed. Munajjid said in an interview with a religious Web site that under Islamic law, rats and mice are considered "repulsive" and as "soldiers of Satan."

"For children they've become something great and beloved. Like this Mickey Mouse, who is seen as a great figure, even though under Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed," said Munajjid, who is a well-known cleric but does not hold a government position.

"Soldiers of Satan."

My, what a uniquely Judeo-Christian word he chose to use.
Shouldn't he be stoned for that, or somethin'?

From Dictionary.com -
SATAN: Proper name of the supreme evil spirit in Christianity, O.E. Satan, from L.L. Satan (in Vulgate, in O.T. only), from Gk. Satanas, from Heb. satan "adversary, one who plots against another," from satan "to show enmity to, oppose, plot against," from root s-t-n "one who opposes, obstructs, or acts as an adversary." In Septuagint (Gk.) usually translated as diabolos "slanderer," lit. "one who throws (something) across" the path of another (see devil), though epiboulos "plotter" is used once.

"In biblical sources the Hebrew term the satan describes an adversarial role. It is not the name of a particular character. Although Hebrew storytellers as early as the sixth century B.C.E. occasionally introduced a supernatural character whom they called the satan, what they meant was any one of the angels sent by God for the specific purpose of blocking or obstructing human activity." [Elaine Pagels, "The Origin of Satan," 1995]

Satanic "pertaining to Satan" is first recorded 1667 (in "Paradise Lost"); meaning "diabolical" is from 1793. Satanism "worship of Satan" dates from 1896, with ref. to France, where it was said to be active at that time; Satanist is attested from 1559, applied by their enemies to Protestant sects.

My, what a uniquely Judeo-Christian word he chose to use.

It's not unique. In Islam, Satan (or Iblis) is a powerful djinn -- an angel-like being capable of good or evil (evil in Satan's case). "The Great Satan" was a popular epithet among Muslims for the United States, though you don't hear it so much anymore.

There is practically nothing in Judaism, Christianity or Islam that is unique, for that matter. People don't follow religions because they offer new ideas.

Yeah you're right, all those half-baked religions have similar crap.

I was thinking more of the etymology of the word "satan."

Same thing only different, I guess.
