It's only a sin if you drink it and this twirp ought to know.

While its idiotic at best you need to read the whole story Frank.

Quote:

Sheikh Mohamed Al-Najimi, member of the Saudi Islamic Jurisprudence Academy, based his statement on a saying by the prophet that prohibited all kinds of dealings with alcohol including buying, selling, carrying, serving, drinking, and manufacturing, the Saudi newspaper Shams reported Thursday.

From a religious standpoint he is probably correct. I doubt anybody back then considered alcohol being used as this way.

Luckily, he also states it is only his opinion.

I don't think many muslims will consider using bio-fuel a sin. Heck, loads of muslims drink, but don't tell. (Right, Mehmet? "yeah, I love a beer, just don't tell the wife" )

alcohol is evil
alcohol is a sin
sins are forgiven
so alcohol is in!

(We used to chant that in highschool with "sex" in place of "alcohol".)

'He' who drinks- gets drunk
He who gets drunk- falls down
He who falls down- does not sin
He who does not sin- goes to heaven

So lets all drink, and go to heaven!

Thats what Canadien and Alouette supporters drink!

'The point' being that if we could come up with an interesting looking drink then perhaps we may entice a few Saudis...

meh, thats fine.. when their oil runs out, they can go back to camels..

[Mr_Canada]

Atleast he isn't trying to force this on a national scale or anythign and is only presenting his opinion as "MUSLIMS could be commiting a sin".

The thing I hate most about most religions is how they tell Non-members of their religion that they are sinning. If they keep their limitations to themselves and away from Canadian Politics, I'm fine. Canada is an Atheist Nation. Not by population, but by multiculture. No one specific culture or religion should ever reign over Canada. Ever.

No, Canada is a secular nation. Not an atheist one.
