All Beauty Must be Veiled
Debbie at Right Truth brings us news of Camel Beauty Pageants in Saudi Arabia. Although certain members of our society would walk a mile for a camel, rich Saudis arrange parties in the desert in winter to spend time with their favorite camels. For them, there is nothing like looking into "big eyes, long lashes" of a marvelous panting beast.

Saudi tribe holds camel beauty pageant"The nose should be long and droop down, that's more beautiful," explains Sultan al-Qahtani, one of the organizers. "The ears should stand back, and the neck should be long. The hump should be high, but slightly to the back."
This is what happens when you force women to be covered from head to camel-toe, you are left with camel beauty contests.
But since Islam soon forbids anything that gives one pleasure or joy, or that provokes in the Muslim eye admiration and appreciation of beauty, it's only a matter of time before Saudi Arabia decrees that Camel faces (Oh, those luscious lips, those wondrous eyes) must also be veiled.
