Copy That Floppy? Go To Jahannum (Hell)
andrewdm writes "The Business Software Alliance has a new partner: the grand muftis at Al Azhar in Cairo. The New York Law Journal has an article explaining the new holy(?) alliance between the BSA and the highest religious authorities in the Egyptian Sunni Islam sect. The clerics issued a fatwa (holy edict) against piracy, saying it is "the worst type of theft and prohibited by Islam." What's next? The Pope denouncing mp3's as mortal sins?" The worst type of theft, indeed.
It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.

Too bad the election was so long ago, it's not funny to make fun of him anymore...
And I thought screwing my dead sister's corpse was as bad as I could do. Take THAT IP thieves!
These guys are so corrupt that if I gave them a million bucks, they would claim that gay blowjobs are required in the koran.
In fact, my guess is most of these guys could be had for a porkchop and a drink.
Holy men indeed.
The terrorists have already won...a copyright infringement suit...
Should forget about software and concentrate on more holy issues. Child molestation and terrorism come to mind.
You got it!!!
A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
ghostses?" About 90 students raise their hands.
"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
believe in ghostses, do any of you think you've ever seen
a ghostse?" About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
ghostse?" 15 students raise their hands.
"That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghostse?" 3
students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghostse?"
One student way in the back raises his hand.
The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
claimed to have slept with a ghostse. You've got to come
up here and tell us about your experience."
The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with
ghostse."
The student replies, "Ghostse?!? From ah-way back there ah
thought yuh said "goatse."

Mamma look!
Sorry, this is just so silly that was the only response I could think of. Hmmm, why is it that I burn in hell for stealing software that is so bug ridden it hardly works, yet Allah greets Bill with open arms for his theft via fraud?
Yawn, organized religion sux!
Sunni Muslims follow the Sunnah, in addition to the Quraan. With respect, it is hardly surprising that you Americans have got terrorists attacking you when you know SO LITTLE about the world you are conspiring to destroy. Pick up a book sometime instead of watching MTV whilst chewing on your Big Mac and drinking an ice cold Coca-cola.
repoleved -
I hate to get into a flamewar with you, but some people simply will not accept that a religion (well, basically every religion) DOES have things which are simply wrong. However, people like you are unwilling to accept this, so instead you simply deny it.
I'm sorry to tell you this repoleved, but deny it as you may, and forget about these following quotes from the Koran, and only report (albeit true) statements the Koran has about peace and not killing oneself (when not in war), the Koran DOES accept and command such attacks on the "infidels."
"Those who disbelieve (in ALLAH) among the 'People of the Book' (Jews and Christians) and among the Polytheists, will be in hell-fire, to dwell therein - for aye". (Qur'an - 98:6)
"Wage War on the 'People of the Book', who do not accept the religion of Islam" (Qur'an - 9:29)
"Fight against them (the Jews and Christians)! Allah shall punish them AT YOUR HAND"!! (Qur'an 9:14)
"Enmity and hatred shall reign between us until ye believe in Allah alone" (Qur'an 60:4)
"Those who follow Muhammad are merciless to the unbelievers but kind to each other" (Qur'an 48:29)
"Make war on them (non-Muslims)until idolatry does not exist any longer and Allah's religion reigns universally". (Qur'an 8:39) (2:193)
"Kill the unbelievers in your surroundings and let them find harshness in you" (Qur'an 9:123)
"Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. Capture and besiege them and prepare them for every kind of ambush". (Qur'an 9:5)
