From A Tangled Web blog:
KORANIC RING-TONES SILENCED...
Did you read that Muslim clerics at a leading seminary in India have asked people to refrain from using verses from the Koran as ringtones for their mobile phones, saying the practice was un-Islamic!
Koran verses "are not meant for entertainment," said Mohammed Asumin Qazmi, an official at the Dar-ul Uloom seminary in the northern Indian town of Deoband. "Anyone who persists in using these should be ostracized from society." With Koran verses or calls to prayers are popular among Muslims in Uttar Pradesh, India's largest state.
As Michelle Malkin pointedly asks, Muslim clerics vocal annoyance at the use of ringtones contrasts with their silence over those co-religionists who use cell phones to commit acts of terror.
Exactly! I would expect nothing less from Michelle.
Even though I think all phones should be set to vibrate in public, I would be less upset if I heard the 23rd Psalm (Maybe read by James Earl Jones?) in a restaurant...
