Careful ladies - they may behead you for this - and the Snowman!

Fatwa declared against snowmen!

They've really got the hump! Fatwa declared against snowmen made to look like camels and Arabs in Saudi as they 'represent Western values'

• Recent snow in Saudi Arabia saw Saudis eagerly building snowmen 
• But a religious scholar has decreed that snowmen are an insult to Islam
• Mohammed Saleh Al Minjed decreed living creatures cannot be recreated
• The ruling says that inanimate objects - and food - can be replicated 
• Saudis took to social media to voice their dismay at the ruling
  A prominent religious scholar in Saudi Arabia has given the cold shoulder to snowmen – by issuing a fatwa against them.
  A recent snowfall in the middle eastern country saw Saudis eagerly building snowmen and even snow camels.
  However, Mohammed Saleh Al Minjed decreed that building snowmen – or indeed creating any living creature out of snow – was an insult to the Islamic religion.
  He declared that inanimate objects such as ships and buildings could be imitated – or food – but not animals.
  He wrote: 'God has given people space to make whatever they want which does not have a soul, including trees, ships, fruits, buildings and so on.'
  The fatwa - or religious ruling - was given a frosty reception on social media sites by some people.
  
  On Twitter users writing in Arabic and identifying themselves with Arab names joined in the debate. 
  'They are afraid for their faith of everything ... sick minds,' one Twitter user wrote.
  Another posted a photo of a man in formal Arab garb holding the arm of a 'snow bride' wearing a bra and lipstick. 'The reason for the ban is fear of sedition,' he wrote.
  A third said the country was plagued by two types of people: 'A people looking for a fatwa for everything in their lives, and a cleric who wants to interfere in everything in the lives of others through a fatwa,' the user wrote.
  Sheikh Munajjid had some supporters, however. 'It (building snowmen) is imitating the infidels, it promotes lustiness and eroticism,' one wrote.
  'May God preserve the scholars, for they enjoy sharp vision and recognise matters that even Satan does not think about.'
  
  
  
  This then is the religion which both Britain and Europe seem destined to live under in around forty years time? Funny? Yes. Frightening? Definitely!
