CAIRO, June 11 — First came the breast-feeding fatwa. It declared that the Islamic restriction on unmarried men and women being together could be lifted at work if the woman breast-fed her male colleagues five times, to establish family ties. Then came the urine fatwa. It said that drinking the urine of the Prophet Muhammad was deemed a blessing.
For the past few weeks, the breast-feeding and urine fatwas have proved a source of national embarrassment in Egypt, not least because they were issued by representatives of the highest religious authorities in the land.
“We were very angered when we heard about the Danish cartoons concerning our prophet; however, these two fatwas are harming our Islamic religion and our prophet more than the cartoons,” Galal Amin, a professor of economics at the American University in Cairo, wrote in Al Masry Al Yom, a daily newspaper here.
For many Muslims, fatwas, or religious edicts, are the bridge between the principles of their faith and modern life. They are supposed to be issued by religious scholars who look to the Koran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad for guidance. While the more sensational pronouncements grab attention, the bulk of the fatwas involve the routine of daily life. In Egypt alone, thousands are issued every month.
The controversy in Cairo has been more than just embarrassing. It comes at a time when religious and political leaders say that there is a crisis in Islam because too many fatwas are being issued, and that many of them rely on ideology more than learning.
The complaint has been the subject of recent conferences as government-appointed arbiters of Islamic standards say the fatwa free-for-all has led to the promotion of extremism and intolerance.

where do they get mohammed-pee?
It’s possibly a by-product of consuming adult female coworker breast milk? For, as we all know, “a woman at work can take off the veil or reveal her hair in front of someone whom she breast-fed.”
Ai caramba! Muslimos locos!
Um, why did the NYT call the article “A Compass that Can Clash with Modern Life”? How about “Islamist Maniacs Show that Sexual Harrassment is not a Crime, It’s a Privelege”. I don’t hear any feminist outrage, either. Just how selfish and hypocritical can modern feminists be? Oh, but I forgot, power must be sooo enticing and addictive for feminists so they don’t dare ally themselves with the opposition.
He would reach puberty as an outsider, and could not, technically, be around the woman he knew as his mother. The imam at their local mosque said it was haram — forbidden under Islam — to live with the boy.
The sheik said yes, that was right, that the boy could not live with them. The father leaned in, disturbed, and said, “And that’s it.”
The sheik seemed stuck and referred them to another sheik for another opinion.
That was their fatwa.
Apparently the problem is that the boy is nearing puberty. It sounds as if, under Islam, an adopted boy past the age of 9 cannot live in any house where there is a woman.

Re-constituted. The dried stuff is scraped off a rock in Mecca.
thanks, bfl
So... it’s like an Edict from the Pope, except anyone can issue it...
Imagine if Christianity had “cult” built into it’s modern functions. And I don’t mean as a whole religion, but regionally. “The Church of Kentuky has deterined that since Noah’s family did it, Incest is mandatory!”
While New York has determined that “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is in effect. (And later finds that *in keeping with the edict* 73% of New Yorkers must be nihilistic.)
I'm thinking: It's early, but this has gotta be Scrappleface.
Gawd, what a $h|tty country, what a horrid “faith”.
Missed this one. Is that why Islam has taken off in CA and Michigan?
ALL RELIGIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.........

People screw up a good idea with their silliness.

.
From Jim Baker saying “Build me a waterpark” to the various fatwas issued by clerics. People are the problem in religion.

I can see God slapping his forehead thousands of times a day, thumbing through the bible going “Where did they get the idea of using donations for limousines?”
Apparently, someone didn't think this through clearly enough. ;)
“I can see God slapping his forehead thousands of times a day, thumbing through the bible going ‘Where did they get the idea of using donations for limousines?’”
... and humming “not with water but with fire next time...”
I dunno; sounds to me like he gave it a great deal of thought.
Ya.
Whether this is lunacy or genious depends upon whether or not you'd hit it.
The bottlers of Mecca Cola will simply rename, and remove the caramel coloring from their product..

Where does the Mo-p*ss come from?
I want to see a republishing of Khomeini's writings on all this. Remember reading excerpts after he took over Iran. Wild stuff, like rules about what you could and could not do with a goat after you humped it. Just unbelievable this thinking can still exist in 2000 A.D.
I verified that the story was true before I put it in the frontpage sidebar last night. I thought the Times must have buried it. When I checked the Times' frontpage today, I was quite surprised to say the least.
Wow. Just wow. I was sure this was a late April fool’s joke when I first saw it!
Amazingly, the NY Times has been publishing quite a few of these kinds of articles lately.
"We were very angered when we heard about the Danish cartoons concerning our prophet; however, these two fatwas are harming our Islamic religion and our prophet more than the cartoons," Galal Amin, a professor of economics at the American University in Cairo, wrote in Al Masry Al Yom, a daily newspaper here."Not to mention the fact that we mass murdered thousands of people on 9/11/2001," the professor added.
Ya think?
We have holy water, they have profet piss. We have Coke, they have camel pee. So, ya know, people are pretty much the same everywhere.
Anyone can find pee over at the Ali!
A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate vaginally, but sodomising the child is acceptable. If a man does penetrate and damage the child then, he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl will not count as one of his four permanent wives and the man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister... It is better for a girl to marry at such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband’s house, rather than her father’s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven. [”Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990]
A man can have sex with animals such as sheep, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, but selling the meat to a neighbouring village is reasonable. [”Tahrirolvasyleh”]
If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrement become impure and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed as quickly as possible and burned.
Wine and all intoxicating beverages are impure, but opium and hashish are not.
If a man sodomises the son, brother, or father of his wife after their marriage, the marriage remains valid.
During sexual intercourse, if the penis enters a woman’s vagina or a man’s anus, fully or only as far as the circumcision ring, both partners become impure, even if they have not reached puberty; they must consequently perform ablutions.
A woman who has contracted a continuing marriage does not have the right to go out of the house without her husband’s permission; she must remain at his disposal for the fulfilment of any one of his desires, and may not refuse herself to him except for a religiously valid reason. If she is totally submissive to him, the husband must provide her with her food, clothing, and lodging, whether or not he has the means to do so. A woman who refuses herself to her husband is guilty, and may not demand from him food, clothing, lodging, or any later sexual relations; however, she retains the right to be paid damages if she is repudiated.
If a father (or paternal grandfather) marries off his daughter (or granddaughter) in her absence without knowing for a certainty that she is alive, the marriage becomes null and void as soon as it is established that she was dead at the time of the marriage.
If a man commits adultery with an unmarried woman, and subsequently marries her, the child born of that marriage will be a bastard unless the parents can be sure it was conceived after they were married. A child born of an adulterous father is legitimate.
Ali [son in law of Mohammed], having cut off the hands of two thieves, treated their wounds and offered them his hospitality, and this affected them so much that they became utterly devoted to him; or again when he heard that the marauding army of Muawiyah had abused a woman of one of the tribes, he was so upset and moved to pity he declared: “If a man died after such an occurrence, no one could blame him.” And yet, despite a nature as sensitive as that, Ali bared his sword and hacked the perpetrators to pieces. This is the meaning of justice.

I just happen to have a few bottles. About $300.00 each plus shipping.
Moral: never buy meat in the next village

That sounds reasonable. Too bad it’s the only reasonable thing on the whole list.
Still unfreaking-believable what rules the muzzies guide themselves by.
Going to copy down you find, thanks.
Since every third Arab Islamic seems to be named Mohammad, it shouldn’t be hard to come by.
Nasty habit, though.
no no...you’re on the wrong sight...you want peeBay
