On Sept. 26th fatwa was issued on author Kola Boof. Here is the OFFICIAL DEATH WARRANT and the details of issue:

Kola Boof has been found guilty of: "Blasphemy and Treason"

Codicile: "...guilty of deliberately and maliciously bearing false witness against religious sentiment and of willing treason against her Arab Muslim father's people and against her nation, the Sudan."

Ms. Boof is to be beheaded. She is issued "fatwa". She was nominated for fatwa by diplomat of the Sudanese government Gamal Ibrahaim. The matter was ratified by the following: Hassan Turabi (National Islamic Front), Ali Muhammad Taha (NIF), Sharif al-Tuhami (NIF)..Tanzim Wasti (London's Sudan Committee), Saad Faqih and PALESTINIAN government official..Mohammed Sobieh.

The order was chanted in the streets of London by the Sharia Court of the U.K.....not only did members say that Boof is to be "beheaded", but they also said that she will be gang-raped prior to death, although they now deny this. They also chanted that Kola Boof is "Abeed suhta" (nigger bitch whore).

On Sept. 26th 2002...Deng Ajak (SPLA in London) received notification of the fatwa against Koof Boof by telephone from the secretary of Tanzim Wasti (head of London Sudan Committee) and secretary of diplomat Gamal Ibrahaim (who blasted Kola Boof in an article for London's largest Arab newspaper just one week before).

These threats were also sent to Riek Machar--the 2nd in Command (only to Dr. John Garang) of the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (of which Kola Boof is a member). That same evening, The Sharia Court of the U.K. distributed leaflets in London anouncing Boof's fatwa and emails were sent to various people around the world, heralding the author's execution.

Fatwa is also pending on:

Women's author Taslima Nasreen (Nasrin) of Bangledesh

Salman Rushdie (writer/London) *His fatwa was supposedly lifted, but British government reports that he continues to be hunted. They have him on 24 hour security.

Terrence McNally, an American writer who wrote a play about Jesus Christ being homosexual.

It is believed that the only reason these 3 most famous cases are still alive...is because of the media coverage that makes it embarrassing to Arab Muslim societies to carry out the killings. However, fundamentalists often make strikes against these people and continue to vow that these people will be eventually killed. Taslima Nasrin has said that she believes the will be murdered.
