Saudi Arabia's religious police have announced a ban on selling cats and dogs as pets, or walking them in public in the Saudi capital, because of men using them as a means of making passes at women, an official said on Wednesday.
Othman al-Othman, head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Riyadh, known as the Muttawa, told the Saudi edition of al-Hayat daily that the commission has started enforcing an old religious edict.
He said the commission was implementing a decision taken a month ago by the acting governor of the capital, Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz, adding that it follows an old edict issued by the supreme council of Saudi scholars.
The reason behind reinforcing the edict now was a rising fashion among some men using pets in public "to make passes on women and disturb families," he said, without giving more details.

Call in and support tomorrows hearing that includes Steve Emerson testifying.
Excellent post.
Their history shows that they move in until their numbers are large enough that they can impose their values on the host nation. This doesn’t require being in the majority in a place like the U.S.
It takes one law suit or the threat of one.
That's because dogs are more sensitive to demonic spirits than men and will bark at them.
As someone who today had to put down my 13 year old beagle. I can’t say publicly on this site what I think of the Koran.
Seriously, dogs have always been thought of as more sensitive to the supernatural.
I think one reason that the "dogs are to be killed" in the Koran is that it is satanically inspired. So, kill the watchdogs against supernatural influence, namely dogs.
I used to ride a horse, an ex-racing Quarter Horse, that LOVED beer. He would stick his head out the stall door and whinny if he smelled any (and he could apparently smell it at 50 yards, with the cap still on the bottle).
I asked my vet if it would do him any harm to give him some. When she stopped laughing, she said as long as we didn't set him so drunk that he fell over, it was probably good for his digestion.
So we would wrap a leg bandage or a towel around the neck of the bottle and tip it on up, and Mister would glug a couple of glugs and it was gone!
No Animal Control shelters and almost no rescue orgs (except those dedicated to the breed) will admit to any Pit or AmStaff in their dogs.
I've known some sweet Pits, and some really mean Labs and even a mean Golden (I know it's rare, but it happens).
Nothing I could say will be much comfort, but you have all my sympathy. It's hard to part with them.
I've got two crazy Labs. Would love to have a Chessie but it would have to be the right one. They can be great dogs for an amateur, or they can be Way Too Much Dog, depending on the bloodline and the pup.
If you ask me, Islam’s hate of dogs is proof that the religion is evil.
Personally, I think Mohamed and Allah hated them because they’re good judges of character...
We hired a car and driver to show us the sights of Mexico City many years ago. He stopped at a market the featured a beer driking mule. For 4 Pesos, I set the opened beer bottle on the ground in front of the mule. He picked it up and drained it and would do it over and over...
Thanx much. We’ll see him again at The Bridge.
Mohamed was a just a cat person (an unfortunate tid-bit that has come down through history and bears no reflection on cat people in general - really).
If Mohamed had hated walnuts, the islam would consider walnuts unclean. Scenes from the Life of Brian come time mind when I think of islam.
bump
Then there was “Billy the Beer Drinking Bison” somewhere on the road from Freeport to Houston.....
Send in the Chinese and Koreans and the problem will disappear.
I think that's what happened to me. The Scott County, KY, Humane Society got this really sweet black and white puppy with BIG paws and decided to foster him and adopt him out. They probably suspected he was part Pit but thought he might be part Dane instead and represented him as being part Dane. My problem is he gave his all to me and turned out to be a totally sweet dog by the time it became obvious he was a Pitador instead of a Daneador. Given what a wonderful character he was and is, I couldn't very well destroy his whole life just because of some human error. Now my big problem is keeping him from pushing me out of bed at night.
So what’s the big deal. Just have the religeous police lop off a few heads (of the owner’s, naturally). That will definately stop the practice and give their government a chance to practice what they like to do. MORONS.
