I'll Get You, My Wahabi, And Your Little Dog Too!

Vice and immorality are running rampant in Saudi Arabia:

Saudi Arabia's religious police have come up with a new way to crack down on men who make passes at women.

The Al-Hayat newspaper reports the head of Saudi Arabia's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice says the sale of cats and dogs is now banned in the capital city of Riyadh. The commission will also ban people from walking their cats and dogs in public, because they say some men are using pets to "make passes on women and disturb families."

The commission has instructed its officers to inform all pet shop owners in Riyadh that selling cats and dogs is now illegal. The 5,000 strong religious police force oversees the adherence to Wahabism — a strict version of Sunni Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia.

Ah, the 14th Century. What memories...
