Hair? What's that, now?

I'm gifted with a coiffure like a dandelion dun gone to seed.

I'm becoming more of a billiard ball -- after a close shave. Never met my father, but won't forgive him for that genetic gifty.

That's a hot style for some people.
It would look very wrong on me.

IMO: He must have heard "God's" Voice telling him this. No sane human being would come up with such a thing

That sounds more like a Christian thing to do than a muslim one.

A cleric's cure for coronavirus becomes butt of jokes in Iran

As it should. Thank goodness he doesn't represent the majority.

I don't know much about what Muslims do, but when I think of Sufis, I can't imagine they don't know about the Voice of God, hence I googled

How would you assume this guy has anything to do with the leadership? Could you explain? What kind of research have you done?

I did not say he was a leader in the post you quoted, however this is a minor quibble since the article in the OP refers to him as "an Iranian regime cleric" which suggests that even if the senior leadership is distancing themselves from him over his comments he was or is some kind of a leader in Qom.

Also a regime that has killed 4,000-6,000 of the gay crowd since its revolution are possibly not much better in their homophobic outlook than the leader in question.

He may not represent the majority of Iranian Islamic leaders when it comes to opposing Western medicine, but his homophobia may be widespread considering that since 1979 Islamic revolution 4000-6000 homosexuals have been executed.

'An Iranian regime cleric in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday issued a homophobic rant against people vaccinated for COVID-19, claiming that they become gay after receiving the vaccine.

Ayatollah Abbas Tabrizian wrote on his Telegram social-media platform: “Don’t go near those who have had the COVID vaccine. They have become homosexuals.”'

Bonkers mental, one sandwich short of a picnic, he needs a check-up from the neck up.
Like that US president who thought injecting bleach was a cure for covid.

Well, homophobia is to be expected considering their brand of fundamentalism.
