Egyptian Clerics Issue Fatwas Against Ironing Pants (none against Rusty Shackleford)

What does a guy gotta do to get a fatwa issued against him around here? I'm calling you out. You got served. Now issue a fatwa against me or forever be known as my bitch you religion of cowards!

Via LGF this Middle East Times article:

One recent fatwa forbade the practice of yoga on the grounds that it is an ascetic Hindu practice.

Rusty's favorite past time is yoga.

Another declared that Muslims should not use the internet because it makes them waste their time.

I do nothing but waste time on the internet!

Most recently, a fatwa announced that ironing women's pants was forbidden as women are not allowed to wear pants in Islam.

I iron my wife's pants......ok, you caught me on that one. I don't allow my wife to wear pants either. In fact, she prances around the house in nothing but a g-string and halter top. Except that by house I mean trailor. Next.

"Flooding people's minds with fatwas," is how veteran writer and columnist Salama Ahmad Salama described the current situation. "The problem in not with Islam... this phenomenon encourages people not to use their minds when dealing with the simplest issues," wrote Salama in the daily Al Ahram last month.

The problem is not with Islam. Right.
