High Speed Internet is Unethical & Immoral

[Christianbookworm]

Actually that wouldn't be surprising. Some even think that they should brush their teeth with a miswak* as he did.

*Not sure on the exact spelling.

Well... they sure like to act like it's still 7th century Arabia! With the lack of women's rights and punishments.

What is the muslim reasoning here??? That Mohammed didn't have high speed internet?

I dread to think of what would happen to whoever invented pop up ads. Isn't that ninth circle level evil?

Eighth. Those that came up with viruses and malware go to the ninth

It's too bad I'm an annihilationist because it means I can't make a joke about hell only having AOL dial-up.

Now you know why I wouldn't marry you.

THAT'S the reason?

I'm anti-islamic!!

wow the irony of:

"it’s us Muslims who have paved the way for true, Sharia compliant feminism,” the official said.

The CII meeting also advised the government that to protect Islam women’s right to breathe should also be taken away from them. “Whether a woman is allowed to breathe or not be left up to her husband or male guardian, and no woman under any circumstance whatsoever should be allowed to decide whether she can breathe or not,” Shirani said."*



Teal, please send me $1000 per month and I will decide to allow you to be able to breathe. I am generous that way.



*too bad the site is satire though.

[Teallaura]

Isn't he the one who said that women's existence is anti-Islamic?

No sorry that was Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani

That is what Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has decreed

Source: Iranian Ayatollah: 3G internet is immoral and inhumane

An Iranian Grand Ayatollah has said high speed internet is unethical and contrary to humanitarian principles, Iranian media sources reported on Tuesday.

Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, a prominent Shia scholar, made the remarks in response to a question put to him by cyber activists, via his website.

Although Iran has the highest total number of internet users in the Middle East, its average data speed is about a tenth of the global average.

However, Shirazi said 3G — third generation mobile communications technology — and broadband internet were morally wrong, and that there needed to be standards to prevent users from dangers such as “immoral and inhumane” videos and photos, rumors, and espionage.

The Grand Ayatollah’s comments come after one of Iran’s largest mobile operators, Irancell, announced this month that it would test 3G services to universities and government offices, and after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said earlier this year that Iran should upgrade its internet services.

In addition to his conservative stance on the internet, the Grand Ayatollah, whose ancestors were Jewish converts to Shi'ite Islam, has also dubbed the Holocaust “nothing but superstition.”

I wonder if he'll be issuing a fatwa on the issue like he has forbidding women from attending soccer games in stadiums and smoking. And while the above news report is from the Jerusalem Post so some Muslims might dismiss it as biased against them, Ya Libnan (which is based in Beirut, Lebanon and founded immediately after the assassination of the Muslim Prime Minister Rafik Hariri) has also covered the story and reported essentially the same thing and it's what's on Shirazi's own website (I wonder if he uses dial up).

In that case, I'd like to thank Verizon for its recent enforcement of morality.
