Stopping Chimpanzees from drinking alcoholic plant sap?

Alcohol is banned outright under the Sharia and you do get some crazy 'scholars'. Do you think the religious police would make entire plant species (which Allah created) go extinct, thus threatening the forest ecosystem, just to enforce the Sharia? After all, if the chimpanzees can drink the alcoholic plant sap then that means it can be a source of alcohol for humans too. Alcohol is naturally occurring so surely the Earth would be more perfectly designed if there was no alcohol.

Yes, it's exactly like Douglas Adams, where they use tree leaves as currency and then cut down all trees to prevent inflation.

And when they find out that astronomical molecular clouds contain ethanol, I'm sure they'll outlaw astronomical spectrometers.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

Well..... if they burn down the rain forest they fucks up the natural ecosystem and well good bye oxygen.

Just gotta say, this thread title is the best I've seen in a while.

I'm in no wise a fan of Islam, but I support any plan to prevent chips drinking alcohol. 

I mean, have you lot SEEN 'Planet of the Apes'?  Imagine those fuckers with a mean drunk on.

Thanks; there are so many technicalities to explore. Just had an idea for a quirky new thread actually. It's surprisingly easy to tell the Quran is man-made.

While there are many reasons to protect the rainforests, oxygen turns out to be mostly from the algae in the oceans.  And I am sure we are doing things that might be fucking that up too.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You can tell the Quran is man made because it's written in man-language, not God language which can be read by anyone no matter what they speak.

Additionally, muslims claim that no translation can be made, and that it is intended to be read only in Arabic

Which brings us to the conclusion that Allah can't be bothered to learn a second language
