#1 "bedecking"
1) to clothe with finery
2) decorate
- Merriam-Webster

Oh yeah, it was the pasties used at the Jeddah Cootchie Cootchie a' Go-Go Bar that did it.

Islam. You can only see "cause -> effect" when it's fucking insane.

#2 "Addressing hundreds of worshippers in Mecca, Grand Mosque cleric Abdel Rahman bin Abdel Aziz al-Sudeis said Muslims should purify their hearts of "envy, jealousy, hatred, breaking off (relations), quarrels and enmity for trivial reasons"
Hey Abby, isn't that what Islam is all about?

#3 With a name like
Grand Mosque cleric Abdel Rahman bin Abdel Aziz al-Sudeis,

I will bet you a bag of Saudi ryals that this guy can crank out World Class fatwas that would put us all to shame. I have finally realized that Al-Aska Paul will never get out of the AAA fatwa league...*sigh*

#6 "...blaming a recent drought on sinfulness, including women who unveil themselves or mingle with men."

So why is there any rain at all here, the land of the Great Satan? We must be much, MUCH more virtuous than these people. Shame on them.

#8 If a drought is caused by sin, what message should they take from the fact that THEIR HOMELAND IS A FUCKING DESERT?!

#11 It's been raining up here for 3 days with more coming. And every broad I see is "unvieled".
This just might lead me to believe that our cleric friend is quite possibly full of shit.

#12 I blogged a story a few weeks ago about a meteorologist in Afghanistan; the Taliban had destroyed all his weather instruments and wouldn't let him publish forecasts because they said it was "of the Devil."

We are going to have to drag these Medieval Muslims into the 21st Century screaming and kicking.

#14 Yes the cleric is full of shit. People should be able to wear whatever they like. The weather has nothing to do with with women not wearing veils its the way it is because it is God's will that it be raining or sunny etc.
