Saudi Arabia takes the Mickey (Mouse).

SeanW

According to a Saudi Sheik, mice are the soldiers of Satan, and even cartoon mice such as Mickey Mouse and Jerry (from Tom And Jerry) should be "killed in all cases." This from the same whackjobs who bring you executions on suspicion of practicing witchcraft, a policy on womes rights that might not be out of place in a Stone Age fiefdom, and is promoting a virulent spread of the worst kind of the Islamic faith: Wahibbism, throughout the civilised world - which I believe is to our eternal peril.

In another time and place this might be funny.

They sell lots of oil, they buy lots of weapons. Did no one tell you that you're not suppose to highlight any wrong doings of such countries so long as the West is the beneficiary.

Those Saudis are an mad bunch.

What annoys me is that in western countries muslims get angry if their religion or culture isnt accomadated. (For example the wearing of headscarfs in school.)

Yet in saudi arabia christains arent allowed wear a crucifix in public and jews arent allowed in the country.

Makes me hope islam never becomes dominant in any western country.

Thats is because allah is the divine creator and anyone who doubts that is obviosuly wrong.

I know this one muslim dude who has emigrated to Ireland with a long time. He doesnt like his daughter hanging out with white Christians. Legend of a guy.

If only they were taking the mick. Arabia is one of the worst countries in the world and I'm ashamed the west deals with them at all.

Hey lets not turn this into an Islam bashing thread ... Saudi Arabia with its extreme and twisted version of Islam doesn not represent all Muslims and Islamic religious beliefs.

What is worrying though is that they are spending billions trying to spread Wahabbisism throughout the Muslim world and somebody really needs to do something about it.

Yadayadayada.

Saudi Arabia is truer to Islam than most countries.

Not on my watch.
