Muslim Ringtones Banned In Saudi Arabia

About 70 "Muslim dignitaries and scholars" met for a week to deal with vital moral issues, including those raised by technology. They concluded, for example, that the use of verses from the Koran as cell phone ringtones should be BANNED "because it impinges on the sacred character of the the Holy Book" and not, surprisingly, because it's super annoying. However, uploading or recording such versions for private listening is "a virtuous act." Meanwhile, the council left unaddressed rampant youth sharing of CELL PHONE PORN.
