Saudi Arabia: Death Fatwa Issued Against Head Religious Police in Mecca Who Said Unrelated Men and Women Can Pray Together…
Much to the dismay of Islam’s apologists, they’re quite happy being stuck in the 7th century…
Trackback | RSS 2.0 | Weasel ZippersRiyadh (Spero News)- The Saudi official news agency, SPA, had reported his dismissal only to delete all reports a few hours later, a fatwa says “he should be killed,” the Grand Mufti has denied his authority to speak about Islamic law. He, Ahmed al Ghamdi (pictured), head of the religious police in Mecca, the first holy city of Islam, confirms his convictions: men and women can pray together and meet freely, even if only in public.
The episode has been strictly censored by Saudi Arabia, monitored by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the official name of the muttawa, the religious police. Of which Ghamdiis a senior official.
The question of the possibility of men and women “mixing” – in public, never in private – has for weeks been at the centre of a debate between scholars and politicians. Thus, the Saudi newspaper The National, has devoted a long article to the story, recalling the words of the Justice Minister Muhammad al Issa who warned against confusing public promiscuity, which he believes is allowed by Islam, with meetings in private between men and women who are neither married nor related by kinship, which is prohibited.
But the reaction of conservatives has been very hard. If Ghamdhi argues that the division did not exist at the time of Mohammed his opposers cry of violations of Sharia and apostasy. Sheikh Abdulrahman Al Barrak has issued a fatwa which says that promiscuity “as supported by modernists” is prohibited because it allows “the sight of what is forbidden and prohibited conversations between men and women.” Anyone who facilitates such promiscuity is an infidel”, and if not retracted “should be killed”. And finally, anyone who allows his daughter, sister or wife to work with men or to attend a mixed school is guilty of “a kind of prostitution”.
Tomorrow, death threats and a fatwa for someone who said it was OK for a man to walk down the street the day after an unrelated woman walked down it.
Look, you can say what you want about the Catholics, they’re going through a tough time now, but nothing – NOTHING is as horrible as Islam.
It’s always a fatwah with this people!
I’d like to mix these guys and the SF City Council together …
There’s gotta be an opening for this guy in the Obama regime. Ain’t we in desperate need of a Czar to oversee our country’s goat f******?
Jean,
“I’d like to mix these guys and the SF City Council together …”
We already have the result of mixing these goat f***** with the goat f****** of the SF City Council. It’s called Berkely.
“Look, you can say what you want about the Catholics, they’re going through a tough time now,”
Thanks I will, They’re always having a “tough time” but rather than calling it “having a tough time” I’d call it “getting caught with your pants down”
Again…
The RCC is just Islam junior. Second on the list of the evil mental illnesses plaguing humanity.
Islam is first.
Islamophobe, fuck you.
