Saudi Arabia enters the 21st century

America's favorite (or second favorite) prince, Interior Minister, Muhammad Bin Nayif, orders the confiscation of toy guns that he says produce sounds that are offensive to `A'ishah, wife of the prophet.  Kid you not.  Salafis in the Arab world have been claiming for a few years that there are Shi`ites who manufacture toy guns (the toy guns in questions are US-made by the way) that produce insults against `A'ishah (in fact, the sounds are English words).
