Saudi Arabia finds new god

[Marsellus Wallace]

And his name is Nuggan.

I need evidence, you say?

Well their chief god talking guy just abominated chess. What's next banning the colour blue?

But in all seriousness this is fucked up. Banning chess, the gift your religion exported to the world?

It's all in the hadiths.

"Malik :: Book 52 : Hadith 52.2.7

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that when he found one of his family playing dice he beat him and destroyed the dice.

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "There is no good in chess, and he disapproved of it." Yahya said, "I heard him disapprove of playing it and other worthless games. He recited this ayat, 'What is there after the truth except going the wrong way.' " (Sura l0 ayat 32)."


"Muslim :: Book 28 : Hadith 5612

Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: He who played chess is like one who dyed his hand with the flesh and blood of swine."

how could someone destroy dice ? it's like splitting the atom.
