Islam is a necessity in the modern world.

Islam is indeed the answer to the modern world! But not for the reasons my opponent says it is! Rather, I propose the following theory: the devil (aka Satan) passes gas. This a fact which all the religions of the world overlook, save for Islam. And, as such, they give us no hope of harnessing such gas as a new fuel source, allowing us to divert fossil fuels to their most advantageous usage: the construction of garish space planes. As proof of my scientific theory (the Farting Satan Theory, or FSssssT), I cite the amazing and authoritative collection of the sayings of the Prophet (PBBBBUUHH), Sahih al-Bukhari: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When the call for the prayer is pronounced, Satan takes to his heels, passing wind with noise, When the call for the prayer is finished, he comes back." Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 3285 In-book reference: Book 59, Hadith 94 USC-MSA web (English) reference: Vol. 4, Book 54, Hadith 505 http://www.sunnah.com... If the "wind" which passes from Satan when he hears the call to prayer could be harnessed and canistered, it could totally free us from not only an overburdened reliance on fossil fuels, but also natural gases, eliminating the need for "fracking" and taking away some of Vladimir Putin's political bargaining chimps. This is a theory totally overlooked by Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Taoism, Confucianism and a host of other smaller religions! They also do not accept that Allah hateth the farty --- a clear sign of their backwardness, idiocy and depravity if you ask me! I cite another remarkable Hadith of the Prophet (pppbbbbbbbuhhhhhhh): The Prophet (bpppphhh)said, "Allah does not accept prayer of anyone of you if he does Hadath (passes wind) till he performs the ablution (anew). Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 6954 In-book reference: Book 90, Hadith 2 USC-MSA web (English) reference: Vol. 9, Book 86, Hadith 86 http://www.sunnah.com... Allah loveth not him that farteth! Why is that so hard to understand? And Satan clearly farts during the call to prayer in attempt to confuse Allah into nullfying the fart-befowled prayer of the pious but gassy Muslim. Ergo, if we could catch a Satan and play him a continual call to prayer on mp3, it is feasable that the ensuing "hadath" could be used as a viable source of fuel, so long as we could capture them once they pass. Recall that Satan is a very large being and, in fact, the Sun rises between his horns: Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (bbbbptttth) as saying: Do not intend to observe prayer at the time of the rising of the sun nor at its setting, for it rises between the horns of Satan. Reference: Sahih Muslim 828 b In-book reference: Book 6, Hadith 353 USC-MSA web (English) reference: Book 4, Hadith 1807 http://www.sunnah.com... True, it will take a lot of time and effort to capture Satan's windpassing, but if he is so large that the Sun rises between his antlers, he clearly has enough flatulentic energy to fuel the entire world for millenia. The Pro, however, presents stupid reasons like: 1. "it's laws touch upon all aspects of human life" 2. "its traditions have been authentically preserved in a such a manner that it can be with a high degree certainty attributed to its purported author" 3. "the laws of Islam have not been categorically proven by any yardstick of science to be harmful to individuals or societies." I think I speak for all of us when I say: woopty dingle-doo! Who cares? Reading over your "reasons" makes me yawn --- which I shouldn't do, for Satan laughs at yawners: The Prophet (ppppbbbbtttthhh) said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: 'Ha', Satan will laugh at him." Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 3289 In-book reference : Book 59, Hadith 98 USC-MSA web (English) reference: Vol. 4, Book 54, Hadith 509 http://www.sunnah.com... Come on, Jack! You got to think outside of the box, brother! Quit letting society dictate your dreams! Shoot for the stars! We've got a world to win, and nothing to lose but our chains! Solidarity for ever! The internationale will be the human race! http://www.youtube.com...
