I hope all of you realize that this is frontpage, above the fold.

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!

I wonder if the NYT would be interested in Muslim converts to Christianity. Nah...probably not.

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.

Thanks ND.

the breast-feeding and urine fatwas have proved a source of national embarrassment in Egypt

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.

http://ethnikoi.org/iran.html

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.

Moral: never buy meat in the next village

That sounds reasonable. Too bad it’s the only reasonable thing on the whole list.

You da man, that is what I remember reading. Too bad we can't for the LAT, NYT, et al to publish this and educate the less informed just who we are dealing with.

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.
