Sheik Mohamed al-Najimi of the Saudi Islamic Jurisprudence Academy told Saudi newspaper Shams that the prophet Mohammed banned alcohol for all uses...and since most bio-fuels are simply natural sugars converted to ethyl alcohol, it would be sinful for a Muslim to use. I wonder if the recent drastic drop in oil prices has anything to do with this opinion?

al-Najimi did stress that this was his opinion as a scholar and not to be considered a fatwa...YET. He stated that it is a topic meriting further study to finally determine.

Funny how when the tide turns against the Islamists, they always find some way to use their religion to obfuscate the issues involved....
