Now we have phone fatwas...... Imam Issues ‘Fatwa’ on Mindless Mobile Owners Arab News arabnews.com JEDDAH, 7 October 2006 — An imam at a local mosque lost his cool when, once again, some idiot in the congregation forgot to (or didn’t care to) switch off his mobile phone, the daily Al-Watan reported yesterday. Just as the man began the taraweeh prayer (the nightly recitation of the Qur’an done during Ramadan) the sound of cheesy Arabic pop music began playing from the audience. The imam turned to the crowd and issued his own little “fatwa”: the next time somebody allows their phone to go off in the congregation, the imam threatened to defenestrate the guilty person right out of the mosque. After a bout of shouting at the audience, the imam regained his composure, turned around, and continued with the taraweeh.
