And the system in Islam is such that anyone who has the balls and thinks that he is good enough to interpret the Quran can declare stuff. As Fareed Zakaria once mentioned in one of his books, "Osama has as much, or as little, power to issue fatwas as a Pakistani driver in New York." So, why do people listen to him? He has dough, lots of it.
