Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, does not like Twitter. He recently condemned the social network as the "source of all evil and devastation," citing the way tweeps use the service to "slander Islam."

There's more, from the BBC:

"If it were used correctly, it could be of real benefit, but unfortunately it's exploited for trivial matters," he said about the social networking site. [BBC]

Well, he may be on to something there...
