This weird 'fatwa' by Somali Islamists seems to reiterate the fact that only paper money (cash) is the God they recognize! I found this quite intriguing.
I have heard and even empathized with numerous objections to mobile / E -money - security, cost, usage issues, etc. But I haven't seen anything like this!
The 'green shoots' of Mobile money and Electronic payments can do without another naysayer - that too seemingly with religious sanction. In fact, what we need a declaration by all religions of the world endorsing electronic payments against cash.
A cashless society is not going to be a Godless society!
