No cat selfies . Influential Saudi cleric states taking pictures is forbidden .

[MicroBrew]

In a televised show, an influential Cleric was told that there is this trend amongst Saudis to take selfies with cats , aping Westerners.

The cleric said taking pictures is prohibited unless it is a necessity.

A prominent Saudi cleric has declared photographs with cats, and other animals, unless completely necessary due to an upsurge in Saudis “who want to be like Westerners.”

On a televised broadcast, Sheikh Saleh Bin Fawzan Al-Fazwan, a member of the Saudi Council of Senior Scholars, was told about “a new trend of taking pictures with cats has been spreading among people who want to be like Westerners.”

He replied: “What?! What do you mean pictures with cats? Taking pictures is prohibited. The cats don’t matter here.”

You know who else banned picture taking : the Taleban . Same Wahhabi/Salafi shit different region.

Not too long ago Chess was forbidden by the grand mufti because it causes gambling and enimity between players. Converting non-Muslims to Islam also causes enimity / fitna but Muslims are fine with enimity as long as they are dishing it out and non-Muslims are on the receiving end.

Since Saudi clerics are soo anti Western / anti-anyone not Arab Salafi , then why are they using Western technology and relying on the West to safeguard them. If only our leaders and the media called out the Saudis on their hypocrisy...

Obama must really be conflicted now as he likes to talk at .0000005 mph on camera

 

[TheGreatA]

The Saudis sound like conflicted teenagers that are trying to rebel against the "mainstream".

You don't establish yourself as a different, unique entity from the West by banning all practises that might "mimic" Western behaviour. You just make yourself look like a jackass.

Not surprising. This is what happens when religion has too much power.

 

[King Joffery]

I agree with him, this narcissistic selfie trend is getting tedious.

It's more to do with their xenophobic mentality. A religion just an expression of culture. Islam and Wahhabism is soo intolerant because the culture that birthed it is intolerant and xenophobic.

I think that's partially right. Their religion combined with their culture is like a negative feedback loop and perpetuate each other.

Its sad what kind of power their clerics hold. A thousand years of societal stagnation. Ultimately the people need to stop listening to the clerics.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Lol, what dummies. If Muhammad had a smartphone he'd make dozens of cat videos

It is told that Muhammad awoke one day to the sounds of the Adhan, the Muslim daily call to prayer. Preparing to attend, he began to dress himself; however, he soon discovered his cat Muezza sleeping on the sleeve of his prayer robe. Rather than wake her, he used a pair of scissors to cut the sleeve off, leaving the cat undisturbed. On perhaps a separate occasion, upon returning from the mosque, Muhammad received a bow from Muezza. He then stroked his beloved cat three times, bestowing the ability for cats to land on all fours

I've even read he gave sermons with the cat on his lap and even drank from the same water

Of course they rely on our technology.

These people are too inept to produce anything with value added

I'm inclined to agree with your agreement.
But people gonna selfie

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Saudi Arabia needs to be bulldozed over and have mini malls built in its place.

The county is shittttttt

If Muhammed had a smartphone he would be charged for possession of child pornography.

Honestly. What is with your obsession with the president?

I've clicked on 3 threads today;
- One about the 9/11 video
- The one about Hillary's emails
- and this one

In each of those 3 threads, you somehow made it about the president without even bothering to discuss the OP. I'm not trying to be rude or insult you in any way. I'm genuinely curious why you do this. I'm being 100% serious when I say, obsessive behavior like this is an indicator of mental illness.

Lol. I can agree with that. "The cats don't matter here."

SA is such a fun place pictures are banned. Lol.

Sounds like a blast living there.

It's a pretty common positiing style on Fox news and other similar rightwing news sites. News that doesn't directly or indirectly involve Obama will somehow still get some posters making it about Obama.

Notice he has posted in other threads and conveniently didn't respond. I didn't mean it as a criticism either.

I definitely think it's indicative of something bigger going on in his life that he may want to address, because that kind of obsessive behavior is not normal or healthy.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Yeah, seriously. They get butt hurt over everything.

It legit should be bulldozed and made Ito a pool

 

[The Diplomat]

I lol'ed at "a new trend of taking pictures with cats has been spreading"

They really are years behind.
