Saturday Morning Confusion #9
Those Bedouin tribesmen sure have got me confused this week.
Members of Saudi Arabia's Senior Clerics Association have issued a fatwa banning camel beauty contests.
The fatwa stated that the contests are prohibited because they include perversion, waste money on futility and ostentation, and are similar to games banned by the Koran.
Camel beauty contests have been held annually at this time for the past decade, and are part of Saudi tribal folklore.
I have absolutely no idea how you can find anything about a camel that can be described as "beautiful" but then again I don't spend all day out in the sun getting heatstroke either!
Personally, if it was up to me, they would be having a "camel-toe" beauty contest!
