4:30Now PlayingAn Islamic cleric in Saudi Arabia has proclaimed that posing for pictures with cats is forbidden. The cleric believes that photos with cats is a decadent western practice, and goes against Islam. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A prominent Saudi cleric has declared photographs with cats, and other animals, unless completely necessary due to an upsurge in Saudis “who want to be like Westerners.”
On a televised broadcast, Sheikh Saleh Bin Fawzan Al-Fazwan, a member of the Saudi Council of Senior Scholars, was told about “a new trend of taking pictures with cats has been spreading among people who want to be like Westerners.”
He replied: “What?! What do you mean pictures with cats? Taking pictures is prohibited. The cats don’t matter here.”
The sheikh continued: “Taking pictures is prohibited if not for a necessity. Not with cats, not with dogs, not with wolves, not with anything.”
Footage of the televised broadcast was published on YouTube on April 17 and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute monitoring group.”
