Ayatollah Khomeini's Book Of Etiquette
Harpers Magazine ^ | 02/10/05 | Harpers Magazine

107. The whole body of an infidel, even the hair, the nails, and its wetness, is unclean.

112. Industrial alcohol used for painting doors, tables, chairs, etc., is clean if one does not know it was made of something inebriating.

120. The sweat of a camel that eats unclean substances is unclean.

125. When a clean object touches an unclean object and one or both are wet enough to convey that wetness to the other, then the clean object becomes unclean. But if the wetness is not enough to reach the other, the clean object does not become unclean.

145. If a host, while eating, realizes that the food is unclean, he must inform his guests. But if one of the guests realizes this, it is not necessary to inform the others, unless his relations with the others are such that as a result of remaining silent he himself becomes unclean.

462. Divorcing a menstruating woman is void.

464. If a woman begins menstruating while praying, her prayer is void.

2,054. These are the major abominable dealings. First, selling real estate. Second, butchery. Third, selling shrouds. Fourth, dealing with base people. Fifth, dealing between the morning azan and the onset of sunshine. Sixth, choosing to buy and sell wheat, barley, and the like as one's occupation. Seventh, entering into a deal involving the purchase of a commodity that another person is about to buy.

2,622. Eating locusts caught with the hand or by some other means is lawful after they are dead. It is not necessary that the person who caught them be a Moslem or that he mentioned the name of God when he caught them. But if a dead locust is held by an infidel and it is not known whether it was caught alive, it is not lawful to eat it, even if the person who caught it says that he caught it alive.

2,629. It is not unlawful to swallow the food that exits from between the teeth as a result of flossing if one's nature has no aversion to it.

2,631. It is loathsome to eat the meat of a horse, a mule, or a donkey if someone has had coitus with the animal.

2,637. Several things are loathsome (abominable) when eating. First, eating while satiated. Second, excessive eating (it has been said that the God of the World dislikes a full stomach more than anything else). Third, looking at other people's faces while they are eating. Fourth, eating hot food. Fifth, blowing at what one is eating or drinking. Sixth, waiting for something else after the bread has been put on the tablecloth. Seventh, cutting bread with a knife. Eighth, putting bread under a container of food. Ninth, cleaning the meat stuck to a bone so that nothing remains on it. Tenth, peeling fruit.

2,858. The prizes that banks give to encourage borrowers, and those that institutions give to encourage buyers and customers, are lawful. The thing that sellers put inside their merchandise to attract customers and increase buyers, such as gold coins in boxes of shortening, are lawful and of no concern.

2,874. It is not unlawful to introduce a man's semen into the uterus of his wife with devices such as suction cups.

2,882. When the preservation of a Moslem's life rests on grafting an organ from a dead Moslem, severing that organ and grafting it are acceptable

This is The Ayatollah's Book Of Etiquette, originally from June 1985, published Thursday, February 10, 2005. It is part of Lifestyle, which is part of Readings, which is part of Harpers.org.

"2,631. It is loathsome to eat the meat of a horse, a mule, or a donkey if someone has had coitus with the animal."

Back at the time of the Iran revolution, I heard this "ayatollah" had written explicit instructions for "coitus" with chickens. Eg. The Islamic "holy" way to do it.

Now I believe he probably did.

The mitzvot you refer to in Deuteronomy was one of the one's that the famous codifier of Jewish Law, Maimonides, left out of his 613 "Most Important" mitzvot. Maimonides stated that not all of the mitzvot contained in the Pentateuch were relevant to every time and place. The "Carry your paddle around the camp" mitzvot is one example of a redundant mitzvot for the year 2005/5765.

A commandment like "Don't sexually abuse a child" is obviously relevant to all times and all places.

Khomeini tried to create a system of Islamic jurisprudence that he hoped the whole world would obey one day. Many other false masters of jurisprudence have also fallen by the wayside like Khomeini did.

No great loss really...

Peace and Blessings to you Persian friend !

P.S. My Iranian friend, Kianoosh, who is studying away from the land of his birth, sent me the "Interview with God" e-mail file a few days ago. I watched it about a year ago when it first came out so was aware of it already, but the intent of his message was appreciated.

He got this one right. But WHY should he have to even clarify this position ???

Third, looking at other people's faces while they are eating.

Now this one is tricky. How do you know if a person is eating or not unless you look at them???..."hey buddy, look at me again while I'm chowing down on these mcnuggets and I'll have you publicly stoned".

I hope and pray you and your country will one day soon be free. I hope you will regain the beautiful Persian religion of Zoroaster. I read your story on your bio page with tears in my eyes. The pictures are beautiful. Standing behind the Shah and his Queen is the one-time Prime Minister of my country, Australia. Long Live Persia!

2,631. It is loathsome to eat the meat of a horse, a mule, or a donkey if someone has had coitus with the animal.

But how do you know if someone has "had coitus" with the animal?

Is there and "Abdul was here" branded on the beast or something.

Perhaps the beast dies with a smile or something....?
