watching loons? Well talking aboit loons., on Syria Loonwatch.com news says
Syrians suffer as US media narcissistically obsess over "what the US will do."
There’s been discussion regarding the decay of American culture, the slut-shaming of Cyrus and her blatant degradation of the Black female body (Robin Thicke has largely escaped scrutiny) but what I found intriguing was the fact that “journalistic” outlets such as CNN made Cyrus’ performance their top story instead of everything else happening in the world; like the civil war in Syria and the use of chemical weapons.
We’ve been criticized for not saying enough on Syria but we haven’t been quiet either; I have written about Islamophobic Neo-Cons who want the Syrian war to drag on perpetually. In practical terms this is, and will continue to be the American position even with talk of so-called “limited surgical strikes.” What else can we conclude after over 100,000 deaths, millions of refugees and a nation decimated? What else can we conclude when Egypt, under the deposed former President Mohamed Morsi proposed a sensible regional solution to end the stalemate, only to have it shot down with the swiftness of a drone strike by both the USA and Saudi Arabia?
well Loons write that and more at that link.. but I wonder whether that picture is REAL or or
Anyways news....... funny news from Syria
Fatwa In Rebel-Held Aleppo Says Haram To Kill Any Lice In Muslim Beards“Blessed Lice”
Here comes another fatwa in defense of the Muslim beard. Now in rebel-held Aleppo, Syria comes a fatwa against shaving lice-infested beards, the reason being that these are “blessed lice”. So now we have a situation where it is haram to shave the Islamic beard, even on medical ground like getting rid of lice in beards.
The Fatwa
As fatwa goes, this one is bordering on the ridiculous. Just last week, the Aleppo Sharia Court in rebel-held Aleppo proclaimed a new fatwa prohibiting the shaving of lice infested beards or otherwise attempting to kill them.
What is interesting to note is that the fatwa refers to the lice as “believer lice growing in blessed beards”.
Here is what the fatwa says: “The Sharia Authority in Aleppo has prohibited the killing of lice that appears in the Muslim beard, as some of the Muslim brothers who have released [grown] their beards in accordance with prophet Muhammad Sunnah [prophet's doctrine], blessed lice has appeared in their beards, and that’s because of their lack of bathing due to the water non-availability all the time on the Jihad [holy war] fronts, and they have limited to ablution before their prayers (may God accept it), thus their beards became moist and thick, which made of it (in God’s will) a natural place for lice to live in”
What Can Be Done
But if nothing is done to get rid of the lice in a beard, then the skin will become very itchy. So what can a Muslim man with a lice infested beard do?
Here is what the fatwa recommends: “The Sharia Authority in Aleppo recommends the Mujahedeen [holy fighters] brothers to dye their beards with Henna, like our Prophet Muhammad, the thing that would reduce the itching caused by the lice, and to maintain this lice that would have not appeared in those blessed beards, if it was not from God’s Muslim believing creatures”.
Prescribed Punishment
The fatwa says: “Who disobeys this Sharia fatwa which has been confirmed right by a number of the senior scholars in Aleppo, will be punished with 50 lashes by Sharia, and other measures will be taken against him in the Sharia Court in Aleppo”.
The fatwa ended with this declaration: “And God was behind our intent”
Well I don't know what is true and what is not true allah knows the best.. but it is well know baboons gives tons such Fatwas .. they just gives anything that comes in to their minds in the name of allah doll.... But lice Fatwa is possible. In fact this lice problem is mentioned in Quran itself not just hadith..
Narrated Ka'b bin 'Umra: Allah's Apostle stood beside me at Al-Hudaibiya and the lice were falling from my head in great number. He asked me, "Have your lice troubled you?" I replied in the affirmative. He ordered me to get my head shaved. Ka'b added, "This Holy Verse:--'And if any of you is ill, or has ailment in his scalp (2.196), etc. was revealed regarding me. "The Prophet then ordered me either to fast three days, or to feed six poor persons with one Faraq (three Sas) (of dates), or to slaughter a sheep, etc (sacrifice) whatever was available. (Book #28, Hadith #42)
and these are the words of allah god...
2.196. Complete the Hajj (the Major Pilgrimage) and the ‘Umrah (the Minor Pilgrimage) for God, and if you are impeded (after you have already put on the Pilgrimage attire), then send (to Makkah) a sacrificial offering you can afford. Do not shave your heads (to mark the end of the state of consecration for the Pilgrimage) until the offering has reached its destination and is sacrificed. However, if any of you is ill (so that he is obliged to leave the state of consecration) or has an ailment of the head, he must make redemption by fasting, or giving alms, or offering a sacrifice. When you are secure (when the Pilgrimage is not impeded, or the impediment is removed), then whoever takes advantage of the ‘Umrah before the Hajj must give a sacrificial offering he can afford. For whoever cannot afford the offering, a fast for three days during the Hajj, and for seven days when you return home, that is, ten days in all. This is for those whose families do not live in the environs of the Sacred Mosque. Act in due reverence for God and piety (avoiding disobedience to Him and obeying His ordinances), and know that God is severe in retribution.
