Saudi cleric condemns camel beauty contests as evil

A leading authority of Saudi Arabia’s hardline school of Islam has condemned camel beauty contests as evil, saying those involved should seek repentance in God.

Camel pageants have become major events in the desert kingdom in recent years as tribes hold ever larger competitions, with bigger prizes and wider publicity.

Delicate females or strapping males which attract the right attention during a show can sell for more than a million riyals (127,000 pounds). Sponsors spent 10 million riyals on prizes for one competition this year.

    How else are they to find girlfriends? They treat their women like trash so it isn’t like they want them.

    Q. Why are camels called “ships of the desert”?
    A. Because they’re full of Arab seamen.

    (hint: read it out loud)

  5. Gary Marks says:

    A camel beauty contest would be perfect for a Saudi version of the “Pimp My Ride” show.

  6. Shadowbird says:

    Evil? Hardly.

    Stupid? Absolutely.

    I wonder if the MALE camels, KNOW about this, and WHICH ones they select.

  8. ECA says:

    Ummm,
    a lonely cowboy and his faithful horse??

  9. JimR says:

    Frankly, I think the camel shown is gorgeous.

  10. Gary Marks says:

    #9, I always knew you had good taste, JimR!

    In addition, the camel was able to give a much more coherent answer to the beauty pageant question than what Miss Teen South Carolina was recently able to do 😉

  11. JimR says:

    Why, thank you Gary.

    I would like to add that this beautiful camel does have a map of the world, and when asked where the USA was located. she was a little slow with the correct answer, but finally spit it out.

    What a gal!

    wow just wow..

    Fidel, Wheres the Lipstick.?
    Oseph, FIX that Bow..

  14. jdm says:

    I completely agree with the cleric. The Koran states that animals are only to be used as beasts of burden and for food. Doting over any animal and treating it better than you do your own family or neighbors is against strict Islamic law.

    If Muslims can pick and choose which Islamic laws that they will and will not follow then they clearing becoming, uh, Christians?

  15. AdmFubar says:

    I think what was being condemed got lost in the translation, it wasnt a camel beauty contest, but a camel toe beauty contest..

    :”>

  16. OmarTheAlien says:

    Apparently extreme Islamic types are seriously against anything which could remotely resemble fun. Kind of like extreme Christian types, or Republicans.

  17. ECA says:

    CAMEL TOE NUTS??? those are COOL.
