Be A Good Muslim; Get Rid Of Your Cat

Or the Muttawa will come after you.

Why do such a thing? Because it will prevent the spread of western ideas, like not strapping bombs to your chest and blowing up people of other religions. Will it work? Probably not. For as much griping in Saudi Arabia as there is about 'western' ideas the audiences for western movies go around the block.

Didn't Mohammed LOVE cats? Sure he did.

“One bad habit spreading among our youths is the acquisition of dogs and showing them off in the streets and malls,” wrote Aleetha al-Jihani in a letter to al-Madina newspaper.

“There's no doubt that such a matter makes one shudder.”

“Then what's the point of dragging a dog behind you? This is blind emulation of the infidels."

Infidels? But you're a big happy religion of peace. When she says 'infidel' like that it sounds a little insulting.

Imagine if the Muttawa had something to do besides abusing women and arresting cat owners - you know, like stopping the terrorism Muslim countries say has nothing to do with Islam. It would be a pretty happy place to live, would it not? Well, no, Mecca can be called a lot of things but not happy. But at least Paris Hilton could visit. Then they would have a reason to complain.
