Introduction      

 The Little Green Book is a collection of fatawah handed down by the 
most prominent and arguably one of the most influential Muslim clerics
 in modern history; the Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Mosavi Khomeini,
 commonly known as the Ayatollah Khomeini. Fatawah (the plural of fatwah)
 are Islamic religious decrees sent down by Muslim religious leaders. 
 Since Islam demands that Muslims abide by Sharia - Islamic law as individuals
 and as a society, these fatawah are not simply religious insights or advice. 
 They are legal pronouncements, and define the law of the land in an Islamic country.
 In his unrivaled role as Iran’s Supreme Leader and the highest-ranking 
 cleric for Shi’a Muslims, the Ayatollah Khomeini’s fatawah guided the lives 
 of more Shi’a Muslims than did any other Islamic leader throughout history.
 
It would have been damning to Islam if these inane, absurd, and depraved 
rantings had come from any Muslim, since they would serve as an example 
of how Islam corrupts a person’s mind. Beyond that however, anyone who 
takes the time to analyze Islam’s scriptures and what is recorded in Islam 
about Muhammad, the man whose life sets the standard to which Muslims 
are to strive, will see that the Ayatollah Khomeini was not off-base in his Islamic jurisprudence.  

 This version of The Little Green Book, is a translation done by Harold Salemson, 
whose source was a French translation of the Ayatollah’s fatawah compiled by 
a Persian named Jean-Marie Xaviere. The book is broken up into two volumes. 
The first volume deals with governing issues, and is so chock full of amazing 
quotes, we had to give up on trying to highlight the best ones. The second volume
 focuses on lifestyle guidelines, and tends to be a bit mundane. However, some of
 the more astoundingly reprehensible whoppers are in this section. Additionally, the
 emphasis placed on defining even the most miniscule details for a Muslim to follow 
 serve as a tremendous example of how Islam thrives on replacing every last iota of 
 independent thought with mindless servitude. Of course, this should not come as a 
 surprise to anyone, since the religion’s name literally means “Submission” (Islam), 
 and its followers refer to themselves as "those who submit" (Muslims).
 
The Little Green Book is a quick read. In fact, it’s probably shorter than some of Craig
 Winn’s email responses. Additionally, much of it is so absurd, it’s quite entertaining. 
 That is, until you realize that this isn’t a joke and you remember that billions of people
 are affected by these fatawah and thousands more like them from multitudes of other Islamic leaders.
