Shooting Crap
This is very irritating. First Egypt's top Muslim cleric or mufti, Sheikh Ali Gomaa, rules in an official fatwa published by leading state daily Al-Ahram that Islam bars women from becoming head of state.
Then the London-based daily Al-Hayyat reports that the mufti issued another fatwa, according to which women can become heads of states.
I can't believe that seven years into the twenty first century, this is even an issue to issue fatwas on. Am I the only one who finds this extremely boring? If the mufti really issued these contradicting fatwas, then it's a pity he wasn't aboard the doomed United 93 flight on Setember 11. He would surely have humanely bored most of the passengers to death, long before the aircraft crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pensylvania.
In the US, shooting crap means gambling, whereas in Egypt (where gambling is forbidden) it means issuing contradicting and irrelevant fatwas.
Can a woman be head of state? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeez... Can anyone?
