Al Jazeera English - Witness: Online Ayatollah
A Day in the Life of Grand Ayatollah Youssef Sanei, viewed as a holy man by Shia Muslims. At home in the holy city of Qom, the Ayatollah advises on matters such as buying a house, travelling, marriage and divorce, gives religious instruction and reaches a world-wide audience through his website. As a pro-reform Ayatollah and a former Iranian Attorney General, Sanei also gives us a unique insight into how religion has been used and manipulated by the conservatives in charge of the government in Iran.
