10 Ridiculous Fatwas or Proof that Believing the Quran Causes Brain Damage. The Fatwa: Grand Mufti Sheikh Ibn Baaz: The Sun Revolves Around the Earth In a 2000 Fatwa titled “The Transmitted and Sensory Proofs of the Rotation of the Sun and Stillness of the Earth”, Saudi Arabian Grand Mufti Sheikh Ibn Baaz asserted that the earth was flat and disk-like and that the sun revolved around it. He had insisted that satellite images to the contrary were nothing but a Western conspiracy against the Islamic world. The Fatwa: Muhammad Al-Munajid: Bring Me the Head of Mickey Mouse That’s right, somebody put on hit on Mickey Mouse. Calling Mickey “one of Satan’s soldiers,” Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid decreed that household mice and their cartoon cousins must be “killed in all cases”, according to the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph. And get this—the guy’s not your average nutjob, either—Munajid used to be a former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington D.C. He made the remarks on Arab television network al-Majd TV after he was asked to give Islam’s teaching on mice. listverse/2010/02/25/top-10-bizarre-or-ridiculous-fatwas/
