Saving the World
At last we can relax, knowing that someone is out there selflessly dedicating themselves to making this world a better place. I am of course referring to the Muttawa, the religious police of Saudi Arabia.
These loyal servants of right, ever on the lookout for acts of moral turpitude have singled out a great threat to the spiritual welfare of their countrymen and are hot in pursuit of the perpetrators thereof.
The Muttawa are now targeting cats and dogs, evil practitioners of immorality that they are. That's right.
Previously, the Mutts (do you think they would consider changing their name? this one has a real ring to it!) might have had to squander their precious time on such trivialities as whether or not a woman was properly veiled. Now they have something they can really sink their canines into - the pursuit of four-footed miscreants, out to destroy the morals of the nation. Deciding that the aforementioned animals, when kept as pets, could single-handedly (is paw-ed-ly a word?) lead the faithful away from Allah, the Mutt brigade seem to have forgotten a very important kibble-sized bit of Islamic tradition. The story is told that the Prophet so loved felines, he allowed one to drink from the water for his ablutions, BEFORE he used it to wash himself for prayers.
Can we ever, ever expect such people to join us in the here and now?

There is so much that can be done with that story. The sheer stupidity ... it transcends social and political differences ... even culture. Surely, people of the Arab world have got to see these idiots for what they are, the more they continue on like this. I only feel sorry for the cats and dogs that will be killed because of these morons -- but at least if these fuckwahs are distracted, they won't be out policiing other immoralities, such as veiled women. One can only hope.
Anyway, here's hoping they get a lot of fleas in the process.
There is a story in the Islamic faith that says that a man once owned a dog. Now this was a pious man who prayed 5 times a day, fasted during Ramadan, paid alms to the poor and lived a holy life in general. Only the man was bad to his dog. One day he tied the dog too far from his water and left him there. The dog eventually died for some unknown reason or another (I don't remember). When the man died, he was supposedly denied heaven for being cruel to a creation of God.
The Mutts (love the name!) make me sick. They are not religious any more than I am. They are power mongers. My Aunt visited Saudi to see her family and one of those little toads followed her for two blocks telling her to "itsatar" (cover up). Her bangs were showing. She didn't know he was speaking to her. When she figured it out, she turned around and yelled at him to leave her the hell alone and stop stocking her.
I have heard horror stories about these Mutts and their origins. Some say that they are originally criminals or deviants who have "found Allah" etc and become religious. What they are is opportunists. They found something that gives them a sense of importance and they ran with it.
I would love to see the overthrow of these mutts. It would be so great if a mob just kicked the crap out of one of them. Hehehehe.
