A Saudi kooky cleric has spoken (he is moderate becuase US arms the House of Saud)

"Asked on a religious website if it was permissible for fathers to build snowmen for their children after a snowstorm in the country's north, Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid replied: "It is not permitted to make a statue out of snow, even by way of play and fun." " (thanks Basim)
