Who Ya Gonna Call?

Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd (is that really how his last name is spelled?) are too old to catch ghosts. And, frankly, who's going to top Ghostbusters 2? It had Bobby Brown and everything.

In an effort to prove my point, Imams in Malaysia have its their prerogative to issue a fatwa declaring "exhibitions on ghosts, ghouls and supernatural beings were forbidden, as they could undermine the faith of Muslims." This includes genies.

Why, you might ask?

Abdul Shukor Husin, The National Fatwa Council's chair stated, without a hint of irony, "We don't want to expose Muslims to supernatural and superstitious beliefs."

He also mentioned that meta-beings of that nature were beyond the scope of human comprehension. Which leads me to ask, if lesser supernatural beings are beyond human comprehension, what does that say about our ability to comprehend a Supreme Being, the Supreme Being?

Hmm...
