Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari seems to be heading towards fresh trouble as the prayer leader of the Lal Masjid in the heart of Islamabad has issued a fatwa against him.

Maulana Abdul Ghafar, the prayer leader, seems to be irked by Zardari’s “you’re gorgeous” compliment to US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin during a meeting.

When Zardari was asked to keep shaking hands with Palin for the cameras, he said, “If he’s (the aide) insisting, I might hug you.”

He said the act was un-Islamic and unbecoming of a head of state of a Muslim country.

A lot of blogs have been dedicated to the “meeting”. One such blog titled “Zardari flirts with Sarah Palin — calling her gorgeous and offers to hug” gives details of the Zardari-Palin encounter.

Another blogger, called ‘teethmaestro’, said, “I do not mean to suggest that this is in anyway a crime, but being the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan there are some protocols that should be adhered to in an effort to uplift the respect and dignity of Pakistan and to the office he has been assigned.”

This could be sticky if the Palin/McCain team wins in November……..stop!……..LOL….I cannot go on with this without laughing.  Did not take this guy long to get over the death of his wife, huh?
