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.

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.

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

Khashayar,
Keep the faith. Sooner or later we'll be there to help out.
You guys have to get the ball rolling on the inside.
I wonder how many people at Harper's are now obligated to follow these rules?
Well, since Christianity and its principles are no longer allowed in the public square, they have to be replaced with something more enlightened, such as The Religion of Peace©.
There's a few more even more disturbing Khomeini quotes here:
and here:
It would be like no hell I have thus far imagined. It would be much worse.
Dante may have had to come up with a 10th circle of hell to describe it.
464. If a woman begins menstruating while praying, her prayer is void.
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.
Of course, the real question is, what if someone has coitus with the menstruating donkey you're praying to? Can you still eat it?

Same thing I've been saying for awhile now, ehhh!? No huge surprise...
The funny thing is I have known this stuff for quite a while, yet I am always shocked when I hear it again. Somehow, my brain keeps erasing this knowledge from my consciousness...it is too d@mn horrible to maintain.
Thanks a lot!
LOL!!!!
If I didn't know any better, I'd say these were Howard Hughe's rules to live by for his Mormon overseers.....
You have got to be sheiting me!
First "etiquette" missing:
64. Evacuation is unlawful in four places. First, in dead-end alleys. Second, on the property of a person who has not given his permission. Third, in a place assigned to a specific group of people, such as some schools. Fourth, over the graves of the faithful, if it would be considered disrespectful.
