Just read an article on yahoo news:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060908/ap_on_re_mi_ea/saudi_cat_and_dog_ban
"JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia's religious police ... have issued a decree banning the sale of the pets, seen as a sign of Western influence.
The prohibition on dogs may be less of a surprise, since conservative Muslims despise dogs as unclean. But the cat ban befuddled many, since Islamic tradition holds that the Prophet Muhammad loved cats — and even let a cat drink from his ablutions water before washing himself for prayers."
It's all starting to make sense to me. The people over there are CAT people.
Why don't they use one of these instead? "The Barka (TM)"
At least these are our ALLIES, so it's all ok.
