What Will The Saudis Think Of Next?

Sheikh Munajid’s statements translated by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, the cleric said: “How do you think children view mice today – after Tom and Jerry? Even creatures that are repulsive by nature, by logic, and according to Islamic law have become wonderful and are loved by children. Even mice. Mickey Mouse has become an awesome character, even though according to Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases.” And then they announce the following: A new fatwa (Islamic edict) issued by a Muslim cleric on the al-Majd satellite television channel has commanded Muslim women not only to cover the head, neck, and entire body with a long, billowy abaya (body-length veil) when in public, but also to cover one of their eyes.
