Iranian Ayatollah Declares Facebook “Un-Islamic,” Membership a “Sin”…

Who’s the jerk that didn’t accept the ayatollah’s friend request?

(Haaretz) — An Iranian ayatollah has said that the social networking service Facebook was un-Islamic and being a member of it a sin, the ISNA news agency reported Saturday.

In Iran, it is common for senior clerics to be asked about their stance on certain social issues and whether these issues are compatible with Islamic norms.

Their answers are regarded as a form of decree.

ISNA on Saturday broadcast coverage of the response of Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi-Golpaygani, a senior cleric, to the question about Facebook and Iranian membership in the social networking service.

“Basically, going to any website which propagates immoralities and could weaken the religious belief is un-Islamic and not allowed, and membership in it is therefore haram (a sin),” the ayatollah replied.

“Only the use of websites propagating religious criteria and not leading to any kind of ethical immoralities is of no problem,” he added.

According to official figures released last October, 17 million Iranians have a Facebook account, despite heavy restrictions and filtering imposed by the government.

Due to the popularity of Facebook with younger generations, observers believe that the number of real Iranian Facebook users could be much higher than 17 million.

    Poor Ayatollah doesn’t have any “FB Friends” or “Likes” on FB so he has to ruin it for everybody…

    I’m getting so tired of this kind of crap.
    Who gives a flying fuck what Islam thinks about anything?

    It’s time we all stand up and tell these freaking inbred trogolodytes to eat shit and die.

    On another note, I’m guessing that Weasel Zippers is probably Haram too.

    Ah yes… hide your head in the sand and only take it out long enough to read passages from the Devil’s Screed aka Koran. Oh yeah, and give all your money and loyalty to me. – Ayatollah [fill in the blank]

    And if you decide to leave the Devil’s Murder Cult you will immediately garner a death sentence. Pretty much tells you all you need to know about it.

    Suffer Little Children

    The oft-misinterpreted phrase from Matthew 19:14 in the King James version of the Bible, “Suffer little children,” has taken on meanings in the world today far beyond excluding kids from hearing Christ’s words.

    The precise quotation, “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven,” has been adapted to everything from a short story by Stephen King to pop songs with entirely different connotations which are far more bothersome.

    Kids are probably suffering more in 2011 than ever before for various reasons.

    In addition to abortion statistics and the act of abortion itself which involves the ultimate suffering, death in the womb for babies before they get the opportunity to grow into children, there is other appalling evidence that fewer people really care about kids.

    The disturbing values of some Muslim immigrants have compounded the already-distubed prevailing culture of devaluing human life in America and throughout the so-called civilized world. Both have contributed exponentially to childhood suffering.

    Two stories out of England, one relating to atrocities in Liverpool, the other to one in Harlem, graphically illustrate the problem.

    The Liverpool matter actually involves a combination of atrocious events–vicious and “endemic” gang rapes by Muslim men of young non-Muslim girls and a concerted effort by journalists to cover them up in the interests of discouraging “racists” and “fascists” and promoting “the development of social harmony and well-being.” (http://bit.ly/wU2QRx)

    As Brits would say, What poppycock!

    On January 3rd, eleven Muslim men–Abdul Aziz, Abdul Qayyum, Abdul Rauf, Adil Khan, Hamid Safi, Kabeer Hasan, Liaqat Hussain Shah, Mohammad Amin, Mohammad Sajid, Qamar Shahzad, and Shabir Ahmed–went on trial in Liverpool for the organized gang rapes.

    According to an authoritative source and in accordance with the guidelines of Britain’s National Union of Journalists, NUJ, “You’ll not find a single reference to their crimes or their upcoming trial anywhere in the British media. Anywhere.”

    The Koran condones Muslim men engaging in sexual intercourse with chattel, that is, with captive women and slave girls. With all the rights and privileges that have been accorded Muslims throughout Europe, they apparently feel nubile infidels are fair game, tantamount to captive slaves.

    Almost worse, the British media obviously concurs since they won’t report to the public on the trial of the rapists. They apparently feel publicity would exacerbate native Britons’ justified fury over Muslim interlopers destroying their country, and their children.

    Maybe when the daughter of a NUJ member is gangraped, NUJ rules will change. And maybe not.

    Meanwhile, as young Liverpudlian girls and their European sisters in pain suffer at the hands of Muslims so, too, do Harlem youngsters suffer–with the qualification that the latter don’t seem to mind their suffering. . .

    Of course, we also have the Amish who frown on facebook, as well as good Christian types such as Fred and his inbred clan of girls. And then of course, most of the Admin of the Jesus Camp thing. In fact, the only group that seems to be fully behind facebook is the atheists, and we are growing day by day. Yay us!.
