Do you tweet? Guess what - you're going to hell.
Saudi religious police boss condemns Twitter users
The head of Saudi Arabia's religious police has warned citizens against using Twitter, which is rising in popularity among Saudis.
Sheikh Abdul Latif Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said anyone using social media sites - and especially Twitter - "has lost this world and his afterlife."
But you'll likely have a lot of Saudis as company there
"Saudi Arabia has the highest take-up of Twitter in the world."

| My understanding is that Saudi's spend more time on the net than anyone else in any other country. Lots of luck keeping them of Twitter. |

Cool! Something on which I can agree with the religious police. Quite prophetic, I would include a "loss of time" as well as a "loss of this world," or maybe his conception of this world includes time.
So, maybe this will be my last post.  |
