It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Dial-a-Fatwa

I googled that title and of course someone (everyone) beat me to it.

Apparently, not all fatwa are death sentences. A fatwa is just a ruling on a religious question by an official in the Muslim religion. Some folks are handing them out like candy. Some are granted over the phone. There was one rule mentioned on BBC that (somewhere) a Muslim woman should not work with a Muslim man unless she had breast fed him. The act of breast feeding someone causes a family tie between the two people. Not sure I can buy that. I can't find the NPR link.
