One man's journey through Islam and the Middle East continues...In Saudi Arabia, remarkable strides in gender equality are taking place. Women are shedding their veils and cloaks and playing basketball. This week, Jeddah United played against the Jaguars, as 30 women spectators hooted and hollered from the stands...One word of advice to these sisters of the hardwood...Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk.
Islamic militants in Pakistan's tribal areas, which border Afghanistan have issued a decree banning music from mobile phone ringtones and vehicles in tribal areas of the country. Offenders would be punished according to Shariah laws...You know something, I could do without the Fiddy Cent ringtones interrupting my dinner too.
This week it was revealed that "terror wannabes" are Canada's greatest threat. They are attracted to "sound-bite Islam" and motivated by internet propaganda depicting atrocities against Muslims...I'm scratching my head as to how Islam's message of peace is lost on these young fellas.
In Baghdad, a Disneyland financier is pouring millions of dollars into developing the “Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience” and pitching his Disneyland idea to the deputy Baghdad mayor. ..Hey, if the lines or shorter in Baghdad than they are in America, this guy may be on to something.
Finally, a Muslim girl in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia cannot skip co-ed swimming lessons because of religious prohibitions against wearing formfitting clothing, a German court ruled on Wednesday. The court said the girl's body would be submerged most of the time anyway...The court did not comment as to whether this "submerging" would be voluntary.
I'll check in next week with another episode of Super Whacky Muslim Fun Time.
