Iranian ayatollahs issue fatwa against 3G internet




Four Iranian ayatollahs have condemned mobile internet provider RightTel for undermining the country's religious foundation and encouraging immorality. Al Monitor reports that RighTel, which holds exclusive rights to 3G coverage in Iran, has been the subject of a fatwa by each ayatollah. "The decadence and corruption associated with [Rightel’s] use outweighs its benefits," writes Ayatollah Nasser Makarem-Shirazi, previously known for issuing a fatwa against domesticated dogs that led Iran to ban pet advertisements. A site whose name translates to "RighTel Mirage" has also posted notices from Grand Ayatollahs Ja'far Sobhani, Hosein Noori Hamadani, and Seyyed Muhammad Ali Alavi Gorgani.

The site, which also includes comments from other hardliners who oppose RighTel, says it's not anti-technology, just decrying the company's application of it. Political cartoons hosted there suggest that access to mobile internet will encourage pornography viewing, and Ghorgani has said it will "jeopardize the public chastity." A particular concern is video calling, which could allow men and women to speak to each other without oversight. Iran, however, has also gone to great lengths to stop online speech that could threaten its legitimacy or offend citizens. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei previously ran afoul of filtering measures while trying to condemn anti-filtering tools, and the country is said to be launching its own domestic internet this year.

This article is stupid even it is true some are stupid in Iran.
Shirazi is one of the worst ones . Always in the mood for pro Khamenei stence and against Iranian rights.

There are too many ayatollahs to make this stupid comment in the article:

has been the subject of a fatwa by each ayatollah

I know many ayatollahs who woulld never said so and right now don't say so.

but hatred is the motor of some journalism too.

sorry bro but one lady in saudiarabia said she will make her driver drink her milk if she is not allowed to drive!

What?? You guys don't like it when I go on the offensive for once? And many more to come.

Then read again what i was writing.

Shirazi is one of the stupid ayatollah in Iran. Never watched him speaking? He is drug addicted.

As i said again (stop to make generalisations) : not all are like him: i know personnaly many ayatollahs who would never say something like this. Montazeri was a friend of our family for exemple. And we know two most important grand ayatollahs in Iran.

I know often people outside believe all religious people are stupid.
But reality is:
1/ most of them are in religious "world" they are kind of disconnected compared to the other but they are not bad people "in the system" anti Iranians rights
2/ some ayatollahs are linked to the regime and some mullahs of bad level of knowledge come in TV say their stupidity
it is a long time we laugh at them

get i?
