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.)

If he doesn’t like snowmen, then why not behead them?
OUCH I may be ban from visiting Saudi Arabia I live in Alaska we live for snowball fights and snow men
Sure. No snowmen, but OK to chop heads off people.
That is totally what is wrong with them. They haven’t a clue how to have fun!

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.
Not entirely true.
I have a question that may be off target and/or have been answered but I missed it. The prince or whatever of Qatar has a team in the NHRA and is often at the starting line. Couldn’t this be considered fun? All the scantly clad drunken women and the Racers For Christ having services every morning. Lastly, I’m paranoid enough to think of what a great explosion a top fuel dragster would make. Just asking.
Snow is friendly!!
Until it’s on the ground for months. LOL!
Somebody needs to find this a-hole’s Youtube page and keep linking “Frosty teh Snowman” over and over and over...
And if he has a phone number that it won’t cost a fortune to call, play it for the answering machine.
Muslim Cleric Issues Fatwa on Frosty
Overload this guy with pictures of snowpeople in burqas.
I shouldn’t be surprised, given that they still accuse people of being witches over there.

Well spoken, fellow infidel.
