There is hope for a Secular Egypt

Look what the Arab Spring has wrought!

Outrage as Egypt plans 'farewell intercourse law' so husbands can have sex with DEAD wives up to six hours after their deathl

Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death.
The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.
It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment.

There was a Moroccan cleric a few years back who apparently did issue a religious ruling saying that husbands remained married to their wives in the first six hours after death and, so, well, you know. But that guy is far, far out on the nutty fringe. How fringe? He also ruled that pregnant women can drink alcohol. Remember, alcohol is considered haram, forbidden, by the vast majority of the world's Muslim scholars. Putting an unborn child at risk to get drunk? No, that's just not what they do. Whatever the mainstream's unpalatable beliefs (there are plenty from my perspective) this isn't one of them.

It's important to remember that the structure of the Muslim clergy is, by and large, like that of a number of Protestant Christian sects. Anyone can put out a shingle and declare themselves a preacher. The ones to pay attention to are the ones with large followings, or attachment to major institutions of Islamic learning. The preacher in Morocco is like the preacher in Florida who spent so much time and energy publicizing the burning of Qurans.

Stories like this are a reminder of the downside of the Internet. It makes fact-checking and monitoring easier. But the proliferation of aggregation sites, newsy blog sites, and the general erosion of editorial standards (and on-the-ground reporters to do the heavy lifting) also spreads silliness faster than it ever could before.

LOLOLOL

 

Not exactly tickled pink over the idea that it's requiring judicial oversight to prevent a brutal theocracy from rising out of the free will of a peoples, god what barbarians the Islamic Imperialists are.

 

Oh snap only months and power and already trying to ban political parties. How reasonable of them.

 

It wasn't a Sharia court, I'm quite made up on the fact that you don't actually live in Egypt, your family may have once been in Egypt but there is no way in hell you currently reside there.

 

Lol; he's already proven that he does. You don't wan't to be pwned like the other deniers, do you?

 

proof please

 

Sorry, my bad, the official name is "the Arab Republic of Egypt". Got it mixed up with the Islamic Republic of Iran, Pakistan and a few others.

 

So far Egyptians with the backing of their High Court has been able to prevent the Islamist from converting Egypt into an Islamic theocratic country and government. It would seem IMO, Egyptians are well aware of what happened in Iran after Iranians allied with the Islamist trusting the Islamist that they will introduce a democratic, secular Iran instead the Islamist become worst than the Sha, same with Hamas and Hezbollah, Egyptians witness how Hezbollah and Hamas have not brought stability , peace and equality instead they introduce an Islamic government that is bend on waging wars almost against every body especially against Israel. The same in Afghanistan when the Taliban making all kinds of rosy promises but after they gain control the Taliban become worst than the Soviets.

Egyptian did not got rid of Mubarak's dictatorship only to allow Egypt government to be replace with an Islamic theocratic government.

 

lol you must be joking? How old are you? The difference is a secular state with a Christian majority and a theocracy.

 

What was his proof exactly? Some pictures he took while on vacation?

 

Let's have some proof of where you live, 'past the edge of the universe...' junior. Or are you too busy washing the dishes for mummy?
