"a teddy bear may offend...GEE WHIZ what dimwits"

A few weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal had an article about neckties being
banned in Iran. I guess some Muslims say it's because it's a "Western"
clothing item...but for some reason sports jackets and slacks don't
seem to be A-OK with these same folks. But I think that's a "cover" for
the real reason: bigotry against Christianity. I think I found this out
when I did a bit of googling and found that neckties are banned in Saudi
because it might remind them of "the crucifixion"...don't ask me
where that sort of thinking comes from.
Or maybe the Saudis just take their tips from the Taliban:
