Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Warns Muslims Not To Use Twitter, Says It’s Full of Lies…

Everyone knows Tweeting is only for infidels.

(JPost) — The Saudi grand mufti on Friday called social-networking website Twitter full of lies, a day after the site announced that it would begin restricting Tweets in specific countries.

The news from the social media platform is renewing questions over how it will handle issues of free speech as it rapidly expands its global user base.

Until now, Twitter had to remove a tweet from its global network if it received a takedown request from a government.

But the company said in a blog post published on Thursday that it now has the ability to selectively block a Tweet from appearing to users in one country.

“Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country while keeping it available in the rest of the world,” the Twitter blog said.

In the interest of transparency, Twitter said, it has built a mechanism to inform users in the event that a tweet is being blocked. A Twitter spokeswoman declined to elaborate on the blog post.

Saudi Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said in his Friday sermon in Riyadh that Muslims should avoid being a “source or feeding” Twitter, the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported.

Twitter was a place “in which people are invited to throw charges between them, and to lie in a manner that brings fame to some,” he said.

The 71-year-old cleric called on those present to warn people about such sites, adding that positive sites do exist on the Internet concerning science, business and God.

    Heck, if you’re still living in the 7th Century how do you even know about tweeting? Sounds like someone comes out of the cave when he WANTS to.

    If they know about Twitter, they should surely know about conditioner – for those nasty-looking beards.

    I think the muzzies have a stack of forms with a lot of blanks like this:
    If______________, kill them.
    If______________, cut off their heads.
    If______________, stone them.
    etc, etc, etc, etc……………and they just keep making this crap up. Such narrow thinkers.

    “Twitter is full of lies”

    [Translation]

    “Stay away from Twitter, you might get exposed to the truth about Islam, that our ideology is the sickest most absurd cult on the planet.”

    That’s how the mullahs keep the peeps in the dark ages. Treat them like mushrooms. Keep ‘em in the dark and feed ‘em shit.

    What a pitifully transparent human ploy: don’t y’all be twittering, y’all might learn the truth about the lies we’ve been telling you. “Grand Mufti” pfffft, more appropriate: pitiful human who is trying to hold onto the position he deems himself worthy of in this world. I’d put my money on it not being the position he holds in the next.

    What he should have said, were he capable of telling the truth, was that he didn’t want his people listening to any lies but his own.

    What a bunch of throwbacks, savages and charlatans.

    In my opinion, Saudi Arabia is the one of the most bloodthirsty countries in the Middle East. The Sauds put on a false face for the West because they like our money and the fact that we keep the other Middle Eastern nations from attacking them.

    If these assholes want to live in the 7th century, we should let them. no more meds, technology, foreign aid, food and help. but there are those among us who would sell them all of the above for short term financial gain even though they have said time and time again they want to enslave the world.

    Isn’t this just like when the slave owners wouldn’t let the slaves learn to read and write because they might become educated and start thinking for themselves? Hey, doesn’t this still go on in the Democrat party? The Mufti says, “This is a great idea. Look how long it has worked for the Democrats in America! If we keep people in the dark and only feed them what we want them to know, we can stay in control! The secret is that we must keep them ignorant!”

    He’s right. Twitter is full of lies. So is the rest of the Internet. So are books. Let’s ban them all. /sarc

    Seriously, what ever became of critical thought? Oh, that ‘s right, I forgot. There must not be any critical thought in Islam.

    Ok fine with me.
    You don’t look like a person who could find your way out of a paper bag let alone have a following.
    Isolate your self from the world and then give advice on everything.
    That is huberous, hypocracy, well you can’t fix stupid.

    What kind of title is a “mufti”?
    Islam would be a big joke if not for all the beheadings, murders, molestations, mutilations, rapes, sodomies, beastialities, necrophilia, and other perversions they approve of.

    I’ve made a personal decision, I’m not going to read any more crap about Islam. They are insane, there is no rational reason to inspect their diatribe, it’s hinged to a fricking fantasy.

    So I didn’t read this article, I’m just venting because I hate Islam and all the problems it is causing decent people all over the world. Islam is a disease of the spirit that causes dementia and like hydrophobia (rabies) it drives its victims mad.

    So they behave like rabid animals, and all of their ‘academic’ effort is put into reaffirming to themselves that their disease is righteousness, and will lead to some eternal bliss, derived from murder and mayhem ….

    These people are nuts. Contain them, and if they act out, deal with them.. let them have the burning sands, and leave us alone.

    They have a society that doesn’t write books but somehow found out about Twitter. Their society only uses the Koran in school so students can’t think for themselves. The Middle East must be a fantastic place to live.
