MetaFatwa The other day, on The Daily Show's "This Week in God" feature, Stephen Colbert called the declaration against extremism by a group of moderate US Muslims a "fatwa against fatwas, or a meta-fatwa." [More:]The word sounded like something that would probably apply to happenings on a certain gray site we all know, and I was wondering if some of our more clever and/or prolific posters could get it into circulation over there.
Not being either clever or prolific, I may not be eligible, but will accept your challenge anyway.

Wouldn't meta-fatwa be "about fatwa" rather than "anti-fatwa", though?

It's a fatwa that makes reference to fatwas. Surely that's enough? I love it, so much so that I may break a lifetime's MeTa silence just so I can use it.

Hey dg, was it your birthday yesterday (Sunday)?

We'd better grab the MetaFatwa domain name before Microsoft does.
