Malaysia issues fatwa on ghosts
A Malaysian museum has closed an exhibition on supernatural beings after Islamic religious authorities issued a fatwa, or decree, against it, state media have reported.
The National Fatwa Council had ruled on Thursday that exhibitions on ghosts, ghouls and supernatural beings were forbidden, as they could undermine the faith of Muslims.
Abdul Shukor Husin, the council's chair, was quoted as saying that "supernatural beings are beyond the comprehension of the human mind."
"We don't want to expose Muslims to supernatural and superstitious beliefs," the Berita Harian newspaper quoted him as saying.
Well DUHHH!!! The Mullah is the only one with a direct communication to God, the average Islamist doesn't have this link (which the average Christian does -- big difference here) They are not going to allow something that might cause their followers to start thinking about this little discrepancy now will they -- might loose some of their power...
