I have yet to find it beneficial to my cause, to have the law on my side reggie.


Erm...what "cause" would that be?


*awaits response with impatience*

I have just googled fatwa and found that they are rarely bad and are mostly clarifications of Islamic law made by an Islamic scholar.

I am confident that if a fatwa was issued to Sly and Reggie it would be....'turn it up'

Some music

I also read this in wikipedia


"In 2005, the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued the Fatwa that the production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam and that Iran shall never acquire these weapons."

You've just reminded me of that fabulous comedienne from Iran (sorry forgotten her name)...she commented once that "the British" always seemed to get Iraq and Iran confused...and then went on to say that she couldn't understand why...distinguishing between the two countries was easy...she said:


Iran is the country WITH the weapons of mass destruction!


(Well I found that funny).

Shappi Khorsandi - and yes I found that line hilarious too. She is totally brilliant, clever and funny.

I think criminalising the membership is wrong, its just giving them a false sense of importance and credence....having lived overseas, I really do value the freedom of speech in the UK!

It's OK...you are allowed to go "off topic" in the Lounge (the main reason why I didn't post this in the Drawing Room!!).

Sorry to interrupt you a minute reggie *cheeky grin*

Saudi, India, and yes it definitely has a different feel in the UK/West....we take soooo much for granted I think (not intentionally I just feel differently by my overseas experiences and appreciate more the fact we can peacefully protest, say what we think, dress how we like, do what we want) :)


*gives floor back to reggie again*
