So says Saudi scholar Sheikh Mohamed Al-Najimi:
A prominent Saudi scholar warned youths studying abroad of using ethanol or other fuel that contains alcohol in their cars since they could be committing a sin, local press reported Thursday.
Sheikh Mohamed Al-Najimi, member of the Saudi Islamic Jurisprudence Academy, based his statement on a saying by the prophet that prohibited all kinds of dealings with alcohol including buying, selling, carrying, serving, drinking, and manufacturing, the Saudi newspaper Shams reported Thursday.
You’re sure this “prominent Saudi scholar” isn’t coming out against ethanol for some other reason?
Also evil = Purell.
I guess Allah is all about the letter of the law, rather than the spirit of the law. Kind of ironic if you think about it.
What are his feelings on thermometers? paint? perfume?
Is it wrong to sanitize my scientific instruments with ethanol?
the sooner the oil is all used up, the sooner the saudis matter not one whit.
Guess they won’t be studying in the Flyover States then.
Ethanol is such a fuckup, economically and especially environmentally, I’ll take any criticism of it, even from backward ass Sheikh Yerboutis.
@3- Yes yes yes. When I read the headline I thought he would be warning them against using ethanol in chemistry labs while studying abroad.
They can go to strip clubs and casinos. Hypocrites just like their counterparts in Christianity.
Wait a minute, I must have missed something here. Does it matter what those fucking kooks think? I must not have gotten the memo.
Saudi Arabia is the Utah of the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia is about ten million times worse than the Utah of the Middle East.
