Saudi Arabia's Commerce Ministry has launched an investigation to determine why various products bearing a "Star of David" had been brought into the desert kingdom, the English-language Riyadh Daily reported yesterday.

The ministry, according to the report, had dispatched "inspectors of commercial fraud" to various parts of the country to confiscate items such as children's toys, candy, and laser discs because they bore the six-cornered symbol.

The companies behind the products were ordered to withdraw them from the marketplace, the newspaper said.

Sounds like all U.S. products ought to be proudly wrapped in the Star of David .... also all U.S. currency.

We should make it a point to stamp six pointed stars onto all military equipment we export.

[Redcloak]

It just occured to me that we already have a 6 pointed star on our currency; the $1 at least. The Great Seal has 13 stars arranged in a 6 pointed star pattern...

This is news?!

I landed in Taif once and my co-pilot was detained for 2 hours because he was drinking a Coca Cola in the terminal he had brought from Italy. Coke is a "JEWISH COMPANY" we were told and forbidden in "The Kingdom."

And many others...I wonder if they ban Western movies in Saudi. Zionists on the range?

[Shermy]

Anyone ever looked up the Derivation of the Star of David or the History of the Star of David. For short it started out as the well known Five pointed Star.

The Insane Death Cultists put WAY too much importance in symbols, it ain't healthy.

Any time we need to, we can indue mass psychosis and total social paralysis just by parking a TV satellite over Mecca beaming down MTV 24/7 on every channel, wall to wall jiggling booties and bouncy boobs, and during commercials, Mohammed peddling pork sausages while a grinning Osama turns a hog on a spit behind him.

Don't know. Someone here once said the oral legend is that King David thought it looked good.

You know, these Saudis are totally crazy. You don't even hear of Saddam or whoever making these kind of statements.
