Muhammad was a cat person, but some say pets signal Western influence

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia’s religious police, normally tasked with chiding women to cover themselves and ensuring men attend mosque prayers, are turning to a new target: cats and dogs.

The police have issued a decree banning the sale of the pets, seen as a sign of Western influence.

The prohibition on dogs may be less of a surprise, since conservative Muslims despise dogs as unclean. But the cat ban befuddled many, since Islamic tradition holds that the Prophet Muhammad loved cats — and even let a cat drink from his ablutions water before washing himself for prayers.

WTF? This is scary. No separation of church and state = weirdness

This reminds me of Borat:
"Shoot dog. We put him out in woods and shoot dog."

Let me guess, there was a sale on beheadding knives but they all turned out to be cat and dog sized so in a effort not to waste state funds...
 
I find stuff like this infuriating -- In a similar vein, I work in manchester city centre in the UK and the influx of muslims a year or two ago tried to ban Christmas trees and decorations in the shops and on the streets because they said it 'offended' them. Sorry, slightly off subject but i had to let it out.
