Imam Hates Mobile Phones

May 7th, 2008 by Quan Tranh

The ulema in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province have declared that use of mobile phones by women is haram, or forbidden in Islam. The Urdu-language newspaper Roznama Khabrain reported that the imam of Jama Masjid Hazrat Umar Farooq made the announcement during his Friday sermon.

Apparently the brilliant people in Pakistan’s western areas have decided that they don’t like technology.  By banning technology for women only, these imams have decided they hate technology because it merely exists.  If they actually felt technology was good, then it would be permissible to give to all people.  Personally I do not see what is so evil about allowing women to own a cellphone.  What is obvious is that the imam in question is a selfish bastard and does not want to share his iPhone with anyone else.
