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.

    And don't forget to purchase Priesthood 4.2, a great accessory to Vatican 2.0. Priesthood 4.2 offers great new features, including Child Molester 1.5, Priest Relocation 2.0 and the all new Condemned 1.0! (Condemned may cause massive hierarchal failure. This may be caused by outdated versions of Pope.)
