Does Solana Condone Disrespecting Islam?
Outline:
What is Solana?
Googling “Solana” (official site) returns the following:
Please make note of “Solana Foundation” above.
Current Islamic Scholar Views on Solana
Based on the information available to scholars at the time, a general consensus seems to have been reached that both the Solana platform and its cryptocurrency are halal.
Newly discovered information challenges this determination.
Introduction to Jason Schorr and Jackie Singh
On his LinkedIn page (archiving disabled, L), Jason Schorr is listed as a Partner Engineer at the aforementioned Solana Foundation:
Jason’s Twitter profile (A, L):
Note the link to the official Solana Twitter account. As indicated in his Twitter profile, Jason is married to the user “0xGraffito.” This is misleading, however, because the “0xGraffito” account is “crewed” by both Jason and his wife, Jackie Singh:
(A, L)
Jackie has her own Twitter page (see below); one might wonder why Jason does not link directly to that one instead….
(A, L)
Note the mention of having “just dropped out of film school.”
The Issue at Hand (WARNING: Extremely Offensive Images Below)
The 0xGraffito account is rife with digital pornography of their creation. Despite the fact that Jason’s Twitter account links to both it and his employer’s Twitter, pornography in general and its availability is not the subject of this discussion.
(A, L)
The issue is with these “Artisanal Purveyors of Fine Digital Goods” purveying topless and fully nude pornography fetishizing Muslim women and girls:
(A, L)
The contents of the post is a video containing a slideshow of 20 nude girls (some very young-looking), all in hijab, set to Middle Eastern-flavored music. Censored (by me) screencap:
(A, L)
It is unknown how many such NFT images and videos have been sold, or whether “explosive” is intended as a terrorism joke (later information suggests it probably is). The next Tweet mocks the issuance of fatwas:
(A, L)
Thumbnails of the 0xGraffito-signed nudes, censored by me, from this one video:
Uncensored Mirror of their Video
Responsibility
One might speculate that Mrs. Singh worked on the project by herself, and that her husband and fellow “crew” member had no knowledge of it. Not so. Jason Schorr liked the video tweet (A, L):
This endorsement is bad enough, but at least it did not broaden the reach of the video; the same can not be said for Mr. Schorr’s retweeting of the video to his over 29,000 followers (A, L):
Mr. Schorr also liked the fatwa tweet, and retweeted it to his 29,000+ followers:
(A, L)
(A, L)
Sadly, it does not end there. In addition to the couple’s account containing at least one video of fetishized Muslim female pornography, they offer at least one still image among their “goods” as well (censored by me):
(A, L)
Mr. Schorr, Solana engineer, chose here to repeat his behavior of liking the Tweet and retweeting it to his tens of thousands of followers:
