No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

A top Shia cleric from Pakistan on Thursday opposed an Indian spiritual leader’s proposal for conducting yoga classes in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf, citing religious reasons.
His objections came barely two days after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s warm welcome to Art of Living head Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s plans to hold breathing and meditation sessions in the war-ravaged nation as part of his conflict resolution programme.


Whats wrong with doing yoga classes which have been found to relieve mental and physical stress?

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

i have my reservations about yoga too. not the doe-eyed breathe-in breathe-out world is at peace part but the associated religious hokum.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

^^ then dont do it.no body puts a sword on ur neck and ask u to do.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

^Then do not associate it with religion and do it as an exercise. Most muslims anyway do not believe in Vedas as anything devine. In that case it's just another book, with some portions that can be used for human benefit. Use Yoga instructions like one would use Weight Training instructions.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

yoga is un-Islamic hence muslims shouldn't be allowed to practice.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

It has lost it's relgious ties in most yoga studios around the world. It's used as an exercise and relaxation technique.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

what a dumb mullah. if anything, yoga will help improve the health and flexibility of his suicide-bombing followers.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

^Thats the reason it's useless for suicide bombers. What will they do with a good health and flexibale body.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

Why is it un-Islamic?

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri…

They can make their body relax before blowing themselves:blush: . they will be so excited to get 72 virgins.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri…

believe me this is hilarious :hehe: some mullahs will remain like this throughout their life coz half of their brain exists in Quran nd human made religious rules, so they can’t even think positive from half of their brain or they don’t even want to use their common sense.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

Chintu, yeah just like those hindus did before setting muslims on fire ... I bet those a-holes enjoyed relaxed muscles before torching those innocents muslims.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

What the hell is wrong with SRI SRI?

Yoga for Iraqis what a joke, as if this going to save there lives or feed them.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

it might calm them and give them an idea or two on why not to spontaneously explode in crowded markets for one.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

can we not reduce it to you-drink-cow-piss, you-blow-yourself-up.

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

As if it gave the Hindus of India any sense not to burn their muslim countrymen alive...or better yet the absurdity of phallus worship...

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri...

Yeah if yoga can't prevent cow-piss drinking then how can it do anything else...

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri…

:hehe:..good going. about to explode

Re: No yoga classes, Iraqi cleric tells Sri Sri…
