Fatwas

Another short post, this article is about a Saudi Fatwa that directs females to give breast milk to unrelated males in order to allow unrestricted visiting. I am unsure as to why they settled on breast milk, why not a blood cocktail? Seems easier to produce, no less weird and just as likely to pass disease.

Islamic clerics have a habit of producing crazy fatwas on a regular basis. See this list on Foreign Policy's website. My personal favorite is the one against Mickey Mouse.

All this makes me glad I don't live under a theocracy regardless of the religion of the leadership.
