Islam is an ideology founded on darkness, death, and destruction. Little is permitted in the way of actual living. And now one more small joy has been added to the list of that what is un-Islamic: Muslims must not build snowmen.
Who knew?
Apparently it snowed recently in a region of Saudi Arabia near the border with Jordan. So the clerics, in their inimitable wisdom, rushed in to ensure that Allah would not be offended by any errant activity. Yahoo News reports:
A prominent Saudi Arabian cleric has whipped up controversy by issuing a religious ruling forbidding the building of snowmen, described [sic] them as anti-Islamic.
Asked on a religious website if it was permissible for fathers to build snowmen for their children after a snowstorm in the country's north, Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid replied: "It is not permitted to make a statue out of snow, even by way of play and fun."
Quoting from Muslim scholars, Sheikh Munajjid argued that to build a snowman was to create an image of a human being, an action considered sinful under the kingdom's strict interpretation of Sunni Islam.
"God has given people space to make whatever they want which does not have a soul, including trees, ships, fruits, buildings and so on," he wrote in his ruling.
Some took to Twitter to mock the ruling, while others were supportive, with one person writing:
…"It (building snowmen) is imitating the infidels, it promotes lustiness and eroticism,"….
Sex with a snowman? That’s a new one on me. Brrr….
How about snowballs? (Oh, dear, I could see where that might also be a problem.)

Bizarre story.
Keep this dude away from beaches and sand.
I need to play golf in Saudi Arabia. No snowmen.
I see what you did there.
How about Sandmen?
This guy’s got his head up his ass if he thinks a snowman looks like a human being....
...oh, wait...
I forgot, there is Michael Moore...
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle,
But put me in summer and I'll be a, happy snowman!
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream,
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam.
Oh the sky would be blue, and you guys will be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer.

How about snowbombs?
You know, a big ball of snow with a burning fuse sticking out the top?

Long post, but Dorkbama made me do it. :-)
Sometime ago, the supreme idiot Dorkbama stated “I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America ‘s past…”
In searching to find out how much of the dork’s statement was a lie (I know, why search, just assume), the following priceless comments and questions turned up from some research done by other folk, which I have shortened for this post.
Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?
Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?
Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?
Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?
Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?
Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first
landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day?
Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States
Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights?
Didn’t think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country’s freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers
In human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family’s “rich Islamic heritage,” doesn’t it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country’s Woman’s Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women
Are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hajib’ or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women’s rights, aren’t they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren’t flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network’s that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims who’s asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.
The Barbary Pirates were Muslims.
Fort Hood? Muslims.
Boston? Muslims
Muslim Heritage, my as…er…Obamahole
THAT’S IT!!!!! That’s why they want to kill everyone. Islam forbids anything that’s FUN. They see all the infidels having fun and know they cannot. So they think that if they can’t have any fun, nobody can!!!
What about snow goats? Are those ok? Or is the cleric afraid muslim men will get frostbite on their peckers?
How about snow pork chops?
They nicked the bit about “He who saves one life...” from the Jews.

A significant portion of the Koran is lifted from the Hebrew Bible.
