Actually I'd list the Koran a bit higher on that list.

Top Islamic Cleric Says Twitter is “The Source Of All Evil,” Wait Until You See WHY…

  

Twitter provides individuals a voice to express their opinions on a public forum. Naturally, this doesn’t exactly mesh with Islam. Free speech is a big no-no.

Riyadh (AFP) – Twitter is nothing more than “a source of lies” and evil, Saudi Arabia’s top Muslim cleric said, in comments that sparked lively debate Tuesday on the microblogging site.

“If it were used correctly, it could be of real benefit, but unfortunately it’s exploited for trivial matters,” Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said on his “Fatwa” television show broadcast late Monday.

Twitter is “the source of all evil and devastation”, the mufti said.

“People are rushing to it thinking it’s a source of credible information but it’s a source of lies and falsehood.”

The social media platform is popular among both men and women in ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia, where some supported the mufti’s views but many others objected.

“This is why I will repent, and close my account to distance myself from this great evil,” one Twitter user wrote with apparent sarcasm.

Congratulations Abdul, you win the award for stupidest thing said on the internet today, and that’s not easy.
