snowman-building 'anti-Islamic'

[seasidemike]

but then.. is there anything out there at all that is not anti-islamic'?

People in Saudi Arabia - the second hottest country in the world - have recently had a chance for some fun, building snowmen following freak snowstorms that have hit the country. However, the hilarity has been proclaimed sinful by a Saudi scholar.

Excuse me.

That will only be civil law in the Kingdom.

The Fatwa is a religious edict that will be followed without question world-wide by those that subscribe to the Wahhabi 'brand' of Islam.

People can "make whatever they want which does not have a soul," he added in his ruling, suggesting they build snow trees, fruit, ships or buildings.

Let's think about that one....answer: no, they are not right in the head; haven't been since the 7th century either.

Eh, I know I'm taking it out of context, but I'm going to post it anyway.

Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water below."


Honestly though, don't they have anything better to do than rage against snowmen?

You're right.

That was out of context.

The prohibition is against making idols to worship.

There's a point though. If Catholics can have statues of Mary and crucifixes bearing the likeness of Jesus, Muslims - who are forbidden from creating human likenesses by the Hadith(!) - can definitely have snowmen.

Hey, if they'll just make it to the period of the Renaissance, that would be progress for them..

the point is, you can't expect people to not hate someone if they constantly destroy your home and kill your loved ones... you can't expect people to not fight back when they get attacked unprovoked and not want to form their own community to fight back...

not saying they are right but in this case, both are wrong... the terrorists that strike back and the west that killed them and destroyed their home land...
