Wahhabi wanker smites Frosty the Snowman with Fatwa

Move over Salman Rushdie! Make room in the penalty box for Frosty!

Big Cheese Saudi cleric Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid has declared fatwa against the building of snow-persons among the faithful. Since Allah recently blessed The Kingdom with a generous bounty of snow, some of the less diligent believers have been poofing about, building snowmen for the amusement of their children, and perhaps also for the secret satisfaction of their own less-than-pure desires!

That'll be enough of that!

The good Sheikh is also the brains behind the ban on women drivers in the Kingdom, although that particular fatwa has scientific research on its side. Not to mention common sense. From the Grand Mosque of Mecca to the pit roads at Daytona and Indianapolis, everybody knows women drivers are a bad idea!

They are a curious lot, those Saudis...

More beheadings than ISIS.

No free press, no human rights, no gay rights, no women's rights... yet they remain great favourites among the political elite in the Nations of Virtue.



In fact, the plucky Canadians, who practically invented the concept of human rights, have no qualms whatsoever selling military gear to this totalitarian state.

You don't imagine that it's just about the money, do you?

Allah smites Saudi Arabia

That mystery "MERS" virus has by now taken out close to 100 people in Saudi Arabia.

And do you want to know why?

The Almighty, call Him or Her what you want, and praise be His name, just in case... is Mightily pissed at the rampant misogyny of the House of Saud.

Like, 150 lashes for driving a car seems a bit medieval, no?

Then again, "medieval" pretty much sums up America's second best bestie in the entire Middle East.

Canada sale of 5,000 armored military vehicles to Saudi Arabia a giant leap for human rights

Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, and Weapon Sales is celebrating the biggest win in its history with the $10 billion sale of armored vehicles to the government of Saudi Arabia.

The usual pinko human rights fussbudgets are of course making the expected fuss, claiming that the state of human rights in Saudi Arabia is so abysmal that it makes Iran look good by comparison. An anonymous source within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gay Rights, Rainbows and Unicorns told Falling Downs that the sale represents a liberalizing trend in Saudi society.

"The fears in some circles that these vehicles will be used to crush dissent are without foundation. In fact, some of these armored cars will be used as taxis to take people home from gay bars safely. Also, they provide a safe method to give Ethiopian workers a lift to the border or to the beach, wherever they wish to go. And also, His Majesty has decreed that women drivers will henceforth be countenanced in the Kingdom, but in the interest of safety other drivers will now have the option of travelling in armored personnel carriers."
