Today's article comes from The LA TIMES (I'm in LA for the moment, so I'll be writing from the LA TIMES for a couple of days) -- It's title: "Gadget to help women feign virginity angers many in Egypt" --http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-fake-hymen7-2009oct07,0,6868813.story
As if the title isn't enough to catch your attention.
Forget Salman Rushdie, forget the power of politics, and of literature, or any of the other "dangerous" personas that fatwas have been issued against. No - now it's the power of the Hymen and the savvy Chinese Businessmen that are turning a coin because of that tricky mucous membrane. The article quotes: "Cleric Abdul Moeti Bayoumi has issued a fatwa urging that peddlers of the $29.90 device be charged with banditry and punished for spreading immorality and sin."
Wow, need I say more?
