An Iranian Grand Ayatollah Issues Fatwa Stating High Speed Internet is
against Sharia

(Iran Human Rights):
http://www.iranhumanrights.org/2014/08/makarem-internet/

A Grand Ayatollah in Iran has determined that access to high-speed and
3G Internet is "against Sharia" and "against moral standards." In
answer to a question published on his website, Grand Ayatollah Nasser
Makarem Shirazi, one of the country's highest clerical authorities,
issued a fatwa, stating "All third generation [3G] and high-speed
internet services, prior to realization of the required conditions for
the National Information Network [Iran's government-controlled and
censored Internet which is under development], is against Sharia [and]
against moral and human standards."

Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, and other dominant ISPs are
now in a bidding war to hire him as a consultant and board member.

RUN AWAY!!!
