mesbah

^glad to know because till now I had thought they work for free, but now I know they are paid for their job. (sarcasm) I mean, in a world where a taxi driver gets money (sometimes double) for what he does, you expected media experts to work for the sake of God? they get paid, I mean anyone gets paid for a professional job. Who pays them? Iran's friends? no, obviously Iran's enemies pay these rats. So far so logical, but what remains ridiculous is those who listen to these rats and buy their trash as unbiased and free media coverage. Did some people really need gaurdian to tell them this? bloody unfortunate.

25 killed 68 injured

What differentiates a "tradition" from a "part of Islam" to you?

"Do not look for new advice; practice the ones you have already heard for a thousand time."

Before Korea or after it; One form of injustice or aggression doesn't justify another. From the very start, that country had been established on certain bases, land confiscation, genocide of indigenous people, militarism, etc. Most of dollar value is taken from the wealth of other countries; Americans print papers and get nations' wealth in exchange. It was like it almost from the start, so the "good old days" thinking is wrong.

I don't get it. Do you really expect me to believe Americans were and are killing people around the world for the sake of 'human rights' or to promote 'freedom?' That much naive? No sir, I don't buy American propaganda. It's a Taghut system, full of taghut people at the top, who only care about money and power.

The fact that they suffered doesn't mean they made the right decision by going to kill people in other countries. ...He loses this world and the next. That is the obvious loss. 22:11

I don't exactly know what you are talking about brother. You said sewn kafan is haram and I said it is not haram. That's it.

You're welcome. This might also help: http://www.islamquest.net/en/archive/question/en21677

First, burden of proof is upon who claims it's haram; 2nd, couldn't find English reference: دوخته بودن کفن مکروه است [۱] و در صورت نیاز به دوختن، بنابر مشهور مستحب است بانخ گرفته شده از کفن دوخته شود. [۲] Sewing kafan is makrooh; and if it needs sewing it's better to use threads from the kafan itself (also and not moisturize it with saliva) according to the most known fatwa. http://wikifeqh.ir/دوخته Arabic (urwatu alwuthqa) http://lib.eshia.ir/10027/2/79/الثاني فصل فی مکروهات الکفن

http://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2184/

Couldn't find a direct reference. Don't know about your example. Generally they refer to sexual fantasy in these fatwas. I remember, certain very bad thoughts are haram in themselves, thoughts that have insults to holy things (if done intentionally of course, not a sheitani waswas, which is a relatively common OCD in some religious people)

Sudden flash thoughts aside, other thoughts can be controlled, at least intentional continuation is not permissible.

Sewn kafan is allowed (according to all Ulama) It's only makrooh (according to some Ulama)

The first and most important thing is that cafan must be of 100% halal money. Most of our money is halal/haram mixed nowadays ...
