Noodles — I don’t know about the stoning thing, I was being silly, but I did hear that an Iraqi 11th grade physics class had a project to see who could build the best road side bomb.

Shi’ites never were big on the caliphate notion. They have less of a problem with mosque over here, state over there.

Its a big deal if Muslims respect a separation of Mosque and state, because its one of the most un-islamic things i have heard! Islam was founded as an internal spiritual path, as well as a geopolitical ideology and civil legislation. I’m a little skeptical about this, especially if an ayatolla says it.

Who knows? Afterall, the the nation of Israel was established by Moses with a similar paradigm, but the Jews abandoned their fundamentalist interpretation of Leviticus thousands of years ago. If the muslim world does similar, its about friggin time.

P.S.
“the Iraq Supreme Court said that public stonings for religious crimes could not occur on public property. ”

…Can they still hold stonings for religious crimes on private property?

The answer is D. Or more specifically Ayatollah Hussein Ismael Al Sadr. Just yesterday there was a big uproar when the Iraq Supreme Court said that public stonings for religious crimes could not occur on public property.

I prefer this quote from Jon Stewart:

“Religion, it gives hope to people in a world torn apart by religion.”
