Ayatollah: 3G Immoral

The Jerusalem Post reports the pronouncements of a Grand Ayatollah in Iran:

Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, a prominent Shia scholar, (snip) said 3G — third generation mobile communications technology — and broadband internet were morally wrong, and that there needed to be standards to prevent users from dangers such as “immoral and inhumane” videos and photos, rumors, and espionage.

In addition to his conservative stance on the internet, the Grand Ayatollah, whose ancestors were Jewish converts to Shi'ite Islam, has also dubbed the Holocaust “nothing but superstition.”

He's aware of the porn Iranian kids see, not to mention rock music, near-naked pop stars and streaming video - oh, the Western decadence, the horror! Methinks he doth protest too much.
