Jewish Barbie dolls symbols of perversion
• Religious Meddlers, Do-gooders
Don Hudson in The Charlotte Observer:
Saudi Arabia's Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (akin to John Ashcroft's attorney general's office) listed Barbie dolls on its Web site as offensive to conservative practitioners of Islam.
"Jewish Barbie dolls," the Web site said, "with their revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools, are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West." ...
Sheik Abdulla al-Merdas, a preacher in a Saudi mosque, told the Associated Press it wasn't a problem that little girls play with dolls. "But these dolls should not have the developed body of a woman and wear revealing clothes."
He said Barbie was modeled after a real-life Jewish woman.
