Cleric orders killing of Muslims who permit mixing of sexes

[Valden]

It must be exhausting being a hardline cleric, spending every waking moment trying to think of ways to suck all the joy out of the world.

Oh man, no kidding.

No mixing of the sexes? Unforgivable!

The Wahhabists are so busy keeping the genders apart, you have to wonder how they breed?

If it were me as a hard-line cleric, I'd be trying to figure out how to keep the genders together as much as possible. Nude.

But then, my religion would be much different from the Wahhabists.

Even the fat ones?

I've not heard of "Wahhabi" before. Is it the sect predominate in Saudi Arabia? Whatever it is, it's EXTREME!!

Yup, that's the Saudis alright. And Wahhabi is indeed notoriously extreme.

And it's Saudi Wahhabists who are funding most of the Muslim 'faith schools' in the UK.


Great policy there Mr Blair! No possible way that one can... ..uh... ..blow-up in our face.

Do you have any sources for Wahabists funding faith schools in the UK? I already have certain suspicions about Islamic government funded schools in Sweden.

If the Wahhabists are funding most of the Muslim 'faith schools' in the UK then it appears they are doing a very poor job (none of your links makes the point for you BTW).

They tend to fund the masjids, the after schools clubs rather than faith schools.

It's like a green horseradish that you have with sushi.

Ah! So that's it. Wahhabi damned!

The Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice can be a real bunch of nutters. I believe their influence and authority is gradually being curtailed, especially after incidents like this:

Saudi police 'stopped' fire rescue

Saudi Arabia's religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.

In a rare criticism of the kingdom's powerful "mutaween" police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.

About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.

According to the al-Eqtisadiah daily, firemen confronted police after they tried to keep the girls inside because they were not wearing the headscarves and abayas (black robes) required by the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam.

One witness said he saw three policemen "beating young girls to prevent them from leaving the school because they were not wearing the abaya".

The Saudi Gazette quoted witnesses as saying that the police - known as the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice - had stopped men who tried to help the girls and warned "it is a sinful to approach them"...

It's also very rich, powerful and influential.

Every time you fill up your car, you make a Wahhabi cleric smile...
