Bill Maher has some sharp words on the matter:

Displaying the same keen acumen that has enabled them to crack down on homegrown terrorists, Saudi Arabian police declared America's favorite doll "Jewish" and "offensive to Islam."

....The truth is, the Saudis and the terrorists who extort their support at our expense, are all about the purity of the seventh century until it suits their needs. If the West is so tainted, why don't you stop using our technology?

This week Osama bin Laden put out a new videotape. Guess who invented videotape? Not anybody named Abu. Same goes for satellite phones, computers, SUVs, and everything else the terrorists use to hatch their evil plans — they were all invented by the infidels. Their last new idea was something about stonings at night, when it's cooler. I don't know where Osama's hiding, but I do know one place he's never been — the patent office. So don't claim you're rejecting the West when you're using our technology. Go back to homing pigeons and camels, and those big curved swords. Because if there's anything more annoying than an evildoer, it's a hypocritical evildoer. [Salon]

That about sums up the last 700 years of Islam - you all remember 700 years ago, back when Islam was on top and "tolerant" and had a brain and stuff. The Islam of 700 years ago would not have found Barbie a threat, but all cultures have their ups and downs - surely the Islamic upturn is just a jihad away.
