Muslims Rejoice! You Now Have The Right to Know Your Child's Sex!

Okay, Here's another example of why religion should be confined to religious institutions, and possibly museums:

Once again, we have a religious institution interfering with things of which they have no knowledge and of which they are speaking on behalf of God without any right. There is is absolutely no reason for this to even be a subject of debate. The technology has been used for years now long before this guy even knew about it. There is no harm to the fetus. There is no life vs. choice debate. There isn't even a religious text or precedence on the issue, yet Moses here has the audacity to tell parents that they can only find out the sex of their child under conditions.

Islam claims that the biggest crime against God is the Arabic word of "Shiirk." The word means literally "partnering," and its intended meaning is treating anyone or anything as an equivalent of God. It is a premise which was used throughout Muslim history to fight anyone who doesn't believe in God as the only creator and whose will trumps everyone else's. Of course, the idea of fighting anyone who doesn't agree with your interpretation of God has caused the bloodiest wars in history. If Shiirk is the highest crime than anyone can commit against God, and for which endless wars can be faught (an appauling and insane idea in its own right), why are these nutcase Imams doing it?

And yes, that is what they are doing... When one dictates certain things to be for, or against the will of God when there is no evidence of it even in the sacred text allegedely revealed by God, this is Shiirk. Of course, I still defend their right to say whatever they want, and do or not do anything that doesn't impose on anyone else's liberty. However in Saudi Arabia, there is no distinction between legislature and religious ruling (Fatwas), and there are many ignorant people that blindly listen to what they are told, and thus this indeed an imposition on the most basic of human freedoms.

As with regards to the Fatwa giving me the "right" to participate in elections, can someone tell this guy that the constitutions of liberal democracies is what give their citizens the right to vote, not the religious rulings of theocratic and ignorant characters in foreign countries with appauling human rights records who cannot even perceive democracy, much less pass fatwas on it?
