Deliberate masturbation during the month of Ramadan renders the fast invalid, Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khameini has ruled. Khameini, who is Iran's most powerful political and religious figure, was asked on his website : "If somebody masturbates during the month of Ramadan but without any discharge, is his fasting invalidated?"

"If he do not intend masturbation and discharging semen and nothing is discharged, his fasting is correct even though he has done a forbidden act. But, if he intends masturbation or he knows that he usually discharges semen by this process and semen really comes out, it is an intentional breaking fasting," the Iranian leader said, posting the reply on his website.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

Now that is interesting. It does not require someone to EAT the semen, then? just for him to deliver it?

I imagine that has hurt shares in Kleenexe!

... after all, he's the same guy as God. It's such a shame that so many of his professed followers let him down so badly because they have such difficulty in interpreting his intentions.



For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.
