Twitter is "the source of all evil and devastation", the mufti said
Twitter is nothing more than "a source of lies" and evil, Saudi Arabia's top Muslim cleric said, in comments that sparked lively debate Tuesday on the microblogging site.
"If it were used correctly, it could be of real benefit, but unfortunately it's exploited for trivial matters," Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said on his "Fatwa" television show broadcast late Monday. .........
The social media platform is popular among both men and women in ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia, where some supported the mufti's views but many others objected.
"This is why I will repent, and close my account to distance myself from this great evil," one Twitter user wrote with apparent sarcasm.
"Respected sheikh, how can you judge something without using it?" another post asked.

The Twitter just keeps all the females worked up, I guess?
I RARELY agree with a muslim cleric about anything, but he may be on to something here...
Twitter is just stupid. It’s Facebook that’s evil. Everybody knows that.
I agree with him.
I was going to say that for once I agree with a Muslim Mufti, but I see everyone else does, too.
Tweet, tweet!
When they will issue “Fatwa” ?
“If it were used correctly, it could be of real benefit, but unfortunately it’s exploited for trivial matters,”
Amen! LOL
For some reason he spells Koran as Twitter.
Trending now: #FatwaTelevision
Twitter is evil, but Facebook is satanic!
He's right. Twitter has completely devastated proper spelling, punctuation and grammar. That's evil.
Yup - the worship of all these high tech gadgets that apparently the millenials cannot be without. Ever watch the activity as soon as the credits go up in a theatre?
Putin hates Twitter, too. They’re talking of banning Twitter AND Facebook over there. Starting January 1, 2015, a new law goes into effect that says that any company which hosts data about Russian citizens on its servers must maintain those servers within the borders of Russia. It’s widely seen as an excuse for the government to be able to shut off Facebook, Twitter and similar services.
Dictators hate when people can talk to each other.
I think MSNBC should feature “The Fatwa Hour”
sheikh comes on the tube each evening after reg news and give a list of daily fatwas—of course you can also have write in fatwa, gift fatwas etc etc—one can go on a roll with this.
When did they rename the Qu’ran?

No mufti, your evil satanic cult is; Twitter is just trivial.
Very good, that’s what my mom would say.
