“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini
“West Bengal: Village heads in Murshidabad district issue fatwa banning music, lottery, watching TV,” Express News Service, August 17, 2020:
KOLKATA: Heads of a minority dominated village in Murshidabad district issued a fatwa imposing ban on a series of activities which include watching television, playing carom, purchasing lottery and listening music using cellphones and computers.
The fatwa, under the banner of a social reforms committee, also prescribed monetary penalty ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 7,000 and sit-up by holding ears if anyone is found violating the dictate. The bizarre incident took place at Adwaita Nagar village, with a population of around 12000, located along the West Bengal-Jharkhand border area in Raghunathganj sub-division.
“We decided to impose ban on a series of activities to stop the young generation from adopting methods which will lead to their moral and cultural degradation. We cannot allow them to listen music and watch movies and serials which do not fit to our religious culture,” said Azharul Sheikh, the secretary of Adwaita Nagar Social Reforms Committee.
The committee issued the fatwa on August 9 and posters listing the banned activities were put up in every corner of the villages warning the local people of the consequences if they violate the dictate. The fatwa mentions Rs 1,000 fine if anyone is found watching television and using mobile phone or computer to listen music.
“If anyone is caught playing carom, he will have to pay Rs 500 and in case of purchasing lottery, the penalty amount will be Rs 2,000. There are provisions of rewarding the informers. If anyone’s information helps us to catch an offender, he will be given Rs 1,000 to Rs 200 as reward, depending on the nature of offence mentioned in the instructions,” said Azharul.
The fatwa also prescribes Rs 7,000 penalty for anyone who will be found selling liquor. Other than the penalty, the dictate said the offender’s head would he shaved before he would be paraded in the village. The same amount of penalty will he charges from those who will sell lottery and run a gambling racket.
If a villager is caught consuming alcohol, he will not only pay Rs 2,000 as penalty but also give sit-up for 10 times with holding his ears.
The local Trinamool Congress dominated Vasaipaikar panchayat pradhan Abdur Rauf found nothing wrong in the fatwa. “Banning liquor is a good decision. Besides, I welcome the decision to ban carom and songs using mobile phones because the youths are getting addicted to it,” he explained….

West Bengal is in India, am I correct? How are Shari’ah based regulations permissible under the secular constitution of the Indian Union?

Because ‘Allah’ says so.

That’s okay then. If Vasaipaikar panchayat pradhan Abdur Rauf finds nothing wrong, who are we Infidels to argue?

Music, lotteries or other gambling and watching TV(!!!)are banned, Islam really is aiming to drag mankind back to the 7th century, but, hey, in Islam’s sick view of life, raping non-Muslims, marrying young girls, murdering non-Muslims and carrying out honour killings are acceptable behaviours. So there’s plenty of fun there. Islam’s view of things, what it finds acceptable and what it finds forbidden, is unbelievably sick. That quote from Khomeini about “no fun” in Islam always seems weird to me because didn’t that old Muslim maggot marry some poor, very young girl, so I’m guessing the old creep was definitely aiming to have a little sexual fun with the unfortunate child. Just another hell- bound mega hypocrite Khomeini no doubt was. A typical Muslim leader. In fact, just a typical Muslim.
Michael Copeland says
Khomeini’s wife was ten years old.

Michael Copeland,
Correct, and to your point, embedded in the feature article:
“Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight.”

Thanks for the comments, Michael and James. Islam has what I, as a reasonably civilised human being, consider to be a completely upside down kind of morality. Probably better to say Islam is completely immoral in every way. What it considers immoral (TV, music!!) is mostly harmless and enriching, but then having sex with 8 and 9 year old girls is OK, along with all the other vile things Islam approves of. Islam is really sick, mirroring the sicko, Muhammad, who is said to have thought this crap up (though I don’t think he existed) so I guess it reflects the mindset of the sickos who made islam up and invented Muhammad many years after Muhammad was supposed to have been fouling up the world.

Exactly–this is the *very inverse* of morality.
tim gallagher says
Yes, gravenimage, Islam is a hideous ideology. Satanically evil is surely the right description of it.. As I have been saying lately, because it has really struck me lately, the respect it somehow (people must be blind to be so fooled by it) receives is truly unbelievable. The fact that Islam gets this degree of respect from so many people has to be one of the biggest confidence tricks of all time. It amazes me.
gravenimage says
I know how you feel Tim–so many people are in desperate, willful denial of Islam.
I think may of them know that something is wrong with Islam–but they don’t really want to know.
Keith O says
Removing any source of joy and happiness from a persons life is one of the methods used for mind control.
Music, for example raises a persons energy levels, which in turn releases endorphins into the system making them happy and healthy. Science has proven this!
So, anything that deliberately does the opposite with the intention of causing misery would not, too say the least be the actions of anything or one aligned with a God who loves Her creations. This in turn proves that Islam is the product of pure evil.

100% correct.
Laughter, also releases endorphins.

“There are no joke in islam.There is no humor in islam.there is no fun in islam”
Said ayatollah khomeni famously
{And there is no Golden Rule,no Beer,no actual Peace,no getting along with others either:but there IS actually one joke in islam which is islam itself}
us infidels however know that Laughter is the best medicine.
And satire is a powerful antidote to counteract the poison of lefty political correctness and the contrived ‘islamophobia’ nonsense.
islam has never produced any Newton,Beethoven or Shakespeare:imagine a religion that stifles the creative arts.
No Music,No art,no literature,no satirical comedy.
And the muslims want to rule the world with their false religion with its false god and pedo ‘prophet’;does that sound like a barrel of islamic laughs?
Willl bacon,rock n’ roll,comedy and the arts be put under the yoke of islamic tyranny?
Hopefully a coalition of the Willing Infidels{Atheists,all non-muslims,ex-muslims etc}will be ‘woke’ enough to challenge the islamic masterplan of a global caliphate here in the West[which they call the Dar Al Harb,the house of war}
Michael Copeland says
Restrictions govern what clothes to wear,
The type of beard, and length of hair,
What foods to eat, or music to hear,
No bacon, no pork, no wine, no beer.

India’s Eastern state of West Bengal and Southern State of Kerala are now effectively lost to Islam. It is heart-wrenching for me as a Hindu… we keep on losing more and more of our lands to this malignancy. Already the loss in form of Pak and Bangladesh in 1947 was not enough and the cancerous appetites of these mad creatures for infidel resources is endless. I see Eu headed the same way,… Sweden, Bulgaria, Belgium…
AskingForJustice says
Tragically, many of these muslims are here from the Chittagong area and are very likely the grandkids of the 30000 women who were raped or the hundreds of thousands of Hindus who were forcibly converted in 1946, during the “Direct Action Day” riots.
They will now disavow any connection to Hindu India.

So true.

Islam the mind control evil dictatorship that is attempting to take control of the world. This ideology is the poison that will kill the world as we know it today. Islam will bring death and slavery to an all time high across the countries of the world if not held in check.
