The Islamic population in the Middle East has been caught up in a new war, but it is its own enemy in the fight over a "fatwa" that authorizes the breastfeeding of adult men.
"The fatwa-issuing thugs give orders, pass judgment, and make decisions: love is forbidden; looking [at a man] is a sin; expressions of love are contemptible – [but] as for breastfeeding, that is permissible, permissible, permissible," wrote Nadine Al-Budair, a presenter for the U.S. Arabic-language television station Al-Hurra.
The dispute has been monitored by the Middle East Media Research Institute, which has compiled a history of it and added comments from contemporary Muslims interests.
The issue first arose in Egypt in May 2007 when a "fatwa" – an Islamic religious decree – was issued from "Izzat" Atiyya, who used to be chief of the Hadith Department at Al-Azhar University. Atiyya permitted a woman to breastfeed a man with whom she must work in private, which MEMRI reported led to Atiyya's dismissal from his school position.
The dispute returned to headlines just a few weeks ago when Sheik Abd Al-Muhsin Al-Obikan, in the Saudi Justice Ministry, issued a "fatwa" allowing the breastfeeding of adults.
MEMRI documents how the rules are aimed at "enabling an unrelated man and woman to be secluded in the same room, a situation which Islam considers forbidden gender mixing."
The report explained the fatwas regarding breastfeeding suggest it creates "a bond of kinship between the man and woman … thus making it acceptable for them to be together in seclusion."
The latest edict "created a stir in Saudi Arabia and in the Arab media at large, arousing a wave of criticism from clerics and columnists alike," MEMRI reported.

Well—it’s not as bad as I first thought—from the headline, I thought adult men had somehow figured out how they could breast feed their infants, or something like that—LOL!

I haven’t laughed this hard in a long, long, long time. Thanks for it !
I did not know adult men could breastfeed.
Not that part of the goat.
Thousands of years of first cousin marriages has a way of scrambling brains I guess.
Breast feeding only?...behind closed doors?
If you give a mouse a cookie...
The new most used phrase at Islamic water coolers.... Got Milk?
“There are just no words..”
Just one....demented.
These people are insane.
Now if unmarried or unrelated couples go off together in seclusion to hold hands they (actually the woman) could be flogged. If they have sex she could be stoned to death. However, if they go off together so the man may “breast feed” that is OK. These people are FUBAR.
LMAO!!!
Thanks for that - lol!
"Doris, you and I have been employed here in the mail room for a couple of months now, and I've been thinking about how to improve our working relationship..."
Also the exclamation of Muslim men at the proclamation of this fatwa...
"MaMa!"

Wow...just wow!
“Dude, this is pretty f——d up, right here.”
You got me one that one. A little coffee almost went through my nose! lol
If they want to kill more of each other, I am all for it.
You have to be on a silicone or saline diet to use that/those. Hey, we may have a new and exciting way to deliver potassium supplementation! ... Wonder if Merck knows about this?
Bond? sure! Kinship? Not so much. I think after trying the milk I might want to sample other delicacies.
