Balderdash! I'm sure it's because it can become a time-waster
No more-or-less than visiting an online discussion forum.
...or a mosque...
I'm confident that the cleric in question probably does believe that independent thought can be a time-waster.
To be fair, he didn't say anything about Islam, Muslims or Muslim elders in general, they just criticisized this one cleric.More tripe! Independent thought is encouraged in Islam .. they have their share of 'terrorism' in Saudia .. the last thing that they want is for their youngsters to leave the mainstream.
I have often seen non-muslims blaming the Muslim elders for their young becoming 'radicalised'.
Damned if we do, and damned if we don't!

Do you agree with the cleric?
It would seem ancient Muslims if alive, would view the king's anti chess stance as being considerably out of sorts in light of it's vast acceptance.I don't see how it could be a 'primitive' view since chess has been played throughout the old Muslim empire. It's no wonder these douche bags destroy history, because they must feel extremely threatened by it.

blasphemy!!!!!!You as King can distinguish between chance and logic.
Most of your subjects have such a rudimentary sense of logic, that the game is mostly chance.
After all, if the leadership is so annoyed as to make it illegal, it must mean that people
are so fascinated by the game that they are not doing their work.
And after all, what is so logical about spending your time playing chess?
Sure the inner workings of the game have profound logic to them,
but the game itself requires that those who are best at playing it,
must dedicate a massive portion of their lives to moving pieces
around a board in what is essentially a pointless trivial game.
and apparently you believe what you say and you are serious.But how do you know to what extent his people are being ridiculous about chess?
If two kids are fighting over a toy, and you take it away,
that makes sense, because the kids are not mature enough for the toy.
It has little to do with the toy, of course, and everything to do with their mind-set.
But you take the toy away, and perhaps even blame the toy to try and get them to grow up a bit.
More tripe! Independent thought is encouraged in Islam ..
How can that be possible when apostates are punished?More tripe! Independent thought is encouraged in Islam ..
The general rule
It is that Islam prohibits all kinds of arts
