Pope to use his blessing against global warming.

We can all rest in peace, put aside our fears, Pope Benedict is to provide prayers against global warming. The inhabitants of the Alpine villages of Fieschertal and Fiesch had in the past asked that the Pope pray to prevent the growth of their glacier. He did, but was too successful! The world has heated, the glacier is melting. Now the villagers want Benedict to pray for the glacier to stop melting – and as quickly as possible!

No pleasing some people, is there?

Fatwa issued against cell phone ring tones…

Well I’ve always felt the ring tones on most mobile phones are bloody annoying, but Kanpur based Islamic group Jamia Ashraf-ul-Madaris has issued a Fatwa on them. Well, not all of them…only those that use verses from the Koran

A fatwa is an Islamic legal decree made by one with extensive knowledge of the Sharia law.

Those people who use verses from the Koran as ring tones and answer their cell phone midway through the aayat are committing a sin.

“This kind of action amounts to a gunah (sin),” said Ghyasuddin, a senior cleric with the Islamic group Jamia Ashraf-ul-Madaris.

“Listening to aayats partially is anti-Islamic,” he added. He said the practice leaves a bad impression on young children….

“If the phone rings and an aayat can be heard in the toilet, it is a sin,” Ghyasuddin added.

Okay, so if we could just get the Pope to excommunicate anyone using non-Koran tones…we’d be half-way to a peaceful world.

Prince of darkness, or first king of Europe…?

I know someone who can’t make up his mind which career he wants to pursue. Like poor Prince Hamlet he dithers in indecision. Having saved his country, he decided to save his church which is very much in the doldrums after 2,000 years of mismanagement. But with the job just begun, a brand new opportunity has presented itself to him…what to do?

There is his foundation work, too, which helps keep the wolf from the door and promotes harmony around the world.
