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!

Burkini!

Life is good and definitely getting better. The Middle-Class in the Middle-East never had it so good as they do in this day and age!

Two camels in every garage and a falafel in every pot is becoming the norm for today's modern Wahhabi or Bedouin and the next time you're about to go on vacation to the Red Sea or Alexandria with the family, here is the latest attire for today's independent, progressive woman! Yes ladies, it's the Burkini! A must have bathing suit that is the latest rage for the decadent, fashion conscious Muslim woman who wants to make a "splash" at the beach!!!
