    A fatwa can only be issued by a scholar of Islam, one who has been studying the Qur'an and the Hadiths for many scores of years.

    You're the one that doesn't respect my Fatwa.

    What if he is? Perhaps he is the next prophet? Remember what Yoda said, "No, there is another". No way he was talking about Leia because Obi Wan knew about Leia already.

    What about the extremists fatwas? Do they have credibility?

    Because Allah said there would be no more prophets after Mohammed and Allah's word is infallible.

    Nope. Normally, they are issued by "scholars" who are too young. It was foretold that this would happen in Islam, too.

    My favorite player of all time since his days at UH. Wasn't it great how he schooled DAvid Robinson the year Robo won the NBA MVP?

    I lost interest in the Rockets toward the end of his time here. Now I just don't have much interest in the NBA, and I pretty much hate the Rockets.

    you should keep the faith. i know its been hell, but i still go to games, even though our PFs get destroyed by Memeh Okur.

    the great thing about the old rockets is that it was proof that people of all faiths , backgrounds, and personal problems could gel as one team and become champions.

    we have a couple elements, so remember it took awhile before dream, otis, kenny, vernon, sam, mario, and horry came together

    Sure, you too can be a mediator between god and the common man. just get yourself a big goofy white hat and a long white robe. maybe a gold medallion too. scrunch up your face, look as miserable as possible, and when you talk make it seem you just left lunch with the supereme being and start issuing all the damn fatwas and commandments you damn well please.

    al-Sistani is the reason Iraq hasn't completely disintegrated since the invasion. He has saved GWB's bacon in Iraq a number of times. Hopefully he will live a long time and continue to exert influence.

    Remember the thread a year or two ago about Shias supposedly being more extremist than Sunnis. :rolleyes:

    I'll say it again: If the mullahs ever lose their grip on Iran and the will of the people take over, Iran will surprise people. It may not happen but we can hope.

    My thoughts exactly. A long long time.


    There's certainly no reason to doubt the Persian people. What a great history.
