There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas.

Sex during menstruation[edit]
Wiktorowicz says the young Salafi politicos criticized the oltime Salafi purists for avoiding politics and focusing on ritual. They disparagingly called them “the scholars of menstruation” (referring to purist fatwas about the permissibility of sexual relations during menstruation), and the “scholars of toilet manners,” pg. 18 stuck in the Middle Ages. Any use here? nobsISIS is SISI spelled backwards. 01:21, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Papal Bull[edit]
The Christian equivalent is the Papal Bull. In 1588 Pope Sixtus V of the Roman Catholic Church issues a Papal Bull (i.e. a fatwa) against Queen Elizabeth I of England, freeing Catholics of their oath of loyalty to the Queen, and absolving them of any sin they might incur if they somehow cut her head off. In addition to this the Pope authorised a Crusade (i.e. a Jihad) against England by CS (the Christian State). Wodenoz (talk) 02:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
