| Spider's web: Iran's bloggers in the crosshairs |
| 2004-09-30 |
Stop me if this sounds familiar: Iran's main hardline mouthpiece has published an editorial accusing Iran's lively blogger community of being controlled by the CIA. It even pronounces fatwas against specific sites.
The article is called "Spider's Web", referring to verse 41 of a chapter [sura 29 in the Koran] called Spider which says "The parable of those who take guardians besides Allah is as the parable of the spider that makes for itself a house; and most surely the frailest of the houses is the spider's house did they but know." |
