I suspect that a certain Imam got frostbite on his little Imam and is afraid to admit it. ---

The OP left out the best part: > [@](#): > > Sheikh Munajjid had some supporters, however. “It (building snowmen) is imitating the infidels, it **promotes lustiness and eroticism** ,” one wrote. That’s it. I’m never becoming a muslim. The murders and Jihad and ISIS that’s all well and good but no snowmen is crossing the line. ---

I asked a student why snowmen were wrong but Colonel Sanders’s face is okay. “Because it is a real picture.” Okay… back to the section on the correct use of articles, let’s ignore those cartoon people on the page, eh? ---

> [@Voyager](#): > > Actually you’ll notice that there are no depictions of people (or animals) within a temple, to avoid any hint of idol worship. > When we came back from the Congo we brought back a small statue of the Virgin for some Catholic friends. Our quite devout neighbor scratched her nose, because doing so meant there was no respect for the statue and thus no possibility of worship from us. (I was 10, don’t blame me.) > I don’t know what the rules are about the Orthodox making statues. orthodox church not really into statues. ikons work well. no rules about snowpeople. in snowy regions i’ve seen clergy and seminarians have wintry fun creating snowpeople.
