| Fatwa: Necrophilia Now Halal Says Sheikh Abdelbari Zamzami |
| 2011-05-12 |
| Meet Sheikh Abdelbari Zamzami who just made necrophilia halal. Don't you wish you lived under sharia law? More here: Zemzami justifies his ruling by means of analogy: Since a good Muslim couple will meet again in Heaven, and since death does not alter the marital contract (in his opinion) it is not a hindrance to the husbandÂ’s desire to have sexual intercourse with the corpse of his (freshly) deceased wife" |

| #7 I notice that the ruling does not give the wife the choice of sexual intercourse with the deceased husband (ignoring for the moment the practical issue). Seems sexist. However, if the husband died as a martyr for Allah (which Sheikh Zamzami probably hopes, he is enjoying sex with heavenly beings soon after death so the wife's relations with the husband at that point would get in the way I suppose. |

| #6 If I ran a funeral parlor, I'd start stringing up barbed wire and buying big mean dogs... Do the practicioners of this "faith" actually step back and look at the manifest looniness of their religious leaders? Apparently not. |
