Wasn't there something on the news that said they were offended by a snowman because it vaguely depicted a "man"? That any depiction of a human is forbidden to extremists? Yup, just found it.

"Asked on a religious website if it was permissible for fathers to build snowmen for their children after a snowstorm in the country's north, Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid replied: "It is not permitted to make a statue out of snow, even by way of play and fun." Quoting from Muslim scholars, Sheikh Munajjid argued that to build a snowman was to create an image of a human being, an action considered sinful under the kingdom's strict interpretation of Sunni Islam."

You can't deal with people that crazy.
