Pop Cultural Differences - Plotting Mickey Mouse's Death (VIDEO)
Plotting Mickey Mouse's Death

It’s unlikely a Disneyland will make its way to Saudi any time soon. A leading Saudi cleric says Mickey Mouse must die for the good of Islam. The sheik says the mice are the agents of Satan and that all mice, from house mouses to Mickey Mouses, must be exterminated.

The same sheik also says the Beijing Olympics should have been titled ‘the bikini Olympics’ and denounced the outfits worn by athletes as well as issuing a fatwa against the games.

Al-Munajid’s aversion to sports is not new. In 2005 he denounced soccer, saying the short pants worn by players “reveal nakedness.” He called for a ban on women’s sports and public exercise as to do so would require them to don “tight fitting, short” tunics that were offensive to Muslim decorum.
