Does he even have US$25,000?
Looks like the media hounds were waiting to pounce on an imam, any imam, who would say the words, "off with their heads". Yousuf Qureshi has found his 5 minutes of fame all thanks to AP who broke the story of the imam in Peshawar offering US$25,000+car (no idea what make) to anyone who would behead the 'cartoonist'. There's a sum of $1 million offered by some random jewellers association--according to the imam--and the scribe hasn't bothered to verify this vital piece of info either.
Is anyone, other than AP, taking our man in Peshawar seriously? We hope to God NOT!

I guess(and hope not) that imam may have become a very public and important figure in Pakistan though. At least, that issue did not make to the news to our local channels in Canada(which is not a bad thing of course). As we do get to witness every US/Danish or other flags burnt in the streets of Lahore, Peshawar or elsewhere.
