Barbie a threat to Saudis -- NJC From: http://www.rednova.com/news/stories/5/2003/09/10/story001.html And all this time I thought she was a shiksa! By the way, how come the JMDL doesn't have a Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice? September 10, 2003 RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's religious police have declared Barbie dolls a threat to morality, complaining that the revealing clothes of the "Jewish" toy b already banned in the kingdom b are offensive to Islam. The Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, as the religious police are officially known, lists the dolls on a section of its Web site devoted to items deemed offensive to the conservative Saudi interpretation of Islam. "Jewish Barbie dolls, with their revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West. Let us beware of her dangers and be careful," said a poster on the site. The poster, plastered with pictures of Barbie in short dresses and tight pants, and with a few of her accessories, reads: "A strange request. A little girl asks her mother: Mother, I want jeans, a low-cut shirt, and a swimsuit like Barbie." Such posters are distributed to schools and hung in the streets by the religious police, or muttawa, an independent body affiliated with the office of the Prime Minister. Vice police officials were not available for comment Monday. Sheik Abdulla al-Merdas, a preacher in a Riyadh mosque, said the muttawa take their anti-Barbie campaign to the shops, confiscating dolls from sellers and imposing a fine. Although illegal, Barbies, the creation of California-based Mattel Inc., are found on the black market, where a contraband doll could cost $27 or more. "It is no problem that little girls play with dolls. But these dolls should not have the developed body of a woman, and wear revealing clothes," al-Merdas said. "These revealing clothes will be imprinted in their minds and they will refuse to wear the clothes we are used to as Muslims," the sheik said. Women in Saudi Arabia must cover themselves from head to toe with a black cloak in public. They are not allowed to drive and cannot go out in public unaccompanied by a male family member. Other items listed as violations on the site included Valentine's Day gifts, perfume bottles in the shape of women's bodies, clothing with logos that include a cross, and decorative copies of religious items b offensive because they could be damaged and thus insult Islam. An exhibition of all the violating items is found in the holy city of Medina, and mobile tours go around to schools and other public areas in the kingdom. The muttawa act as a monitoring and punishing agency, propagating conservative Islamic beliefs according to the teachings of the puritan Wahhabi sect, adhered to the kingdom since the 18th century, and enforcing strict moral code. The muttawa patrol the streets of the kingdom, preventing men from mingling with women, enforcing strict Islamic dress for women, chasing worshippers late for prayers, and punishing shop keepers who stay open during prayer hours. They sometimes work with a police officer who can enforce legal punishments on people deemed violators. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 21:16:32 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: Joni opening lines the wind is in from africa last night i couldn't sleep ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 21:26:50 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: LOL!

I love that town, so exciting and beautiful to look at as well. A large part of me doesn't want to leave Wisconsin but I miss my family and my friends. Won't bore anyone with the details but the fact that I can't go home when I wanted to or as early as I wanted to along with a chemical low made me make a fool out of myself. Not the first time I am sure. Without my family and friends I turned to my other family, the JMDL, and I have come to rely on it. I don't get like that often but it is quite daunting when it happens. This place really is much like a family, irritatingly infuriating at times, boring at others but I don't wish to do without it. The concert was great to write the very least. The theatre there is very small and intimate and I couldn't help but wonder how grand it would be to see Joan upon that stage. I will be good now. Thanks to all for the sentiments. You are a grand bunch. mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 00:40:32 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Music left to the kids (njc) In a message dated 9/16/03 10:04:00 PM, Murphycopy writes: << *I* care, Kenny. --Bob PS: How are you feeling, anyway? >> A LOT better, now that I've received your e-mail. Seriously... you put a large smile on my face, my friend, with just a few words. I don't know how much I've mentioned of my health problems with fellow Joni friends but aside from my sciatica and glaucoma, which are pretty much under control with excercise & eye drops, my pins & needles in my right hand (especially the pinkie & next finger) have finally been diagnosed completely. Doctors thought it was a pinched nerve but x-rays show two collaped discs in my neck/spinal column causing the pinched nerves to those two fingers. I'm getting physical therapy & it seems to be getting a little better but I can't sit on any bench or chair without a back support. Practicing the piano is a bit more difficult but I keep trying... just had a lesson this evening. Ahhhh... it could all be worse, right? At least I can still enjoy the music. ;-) Be well, Kenny B ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 21:57:13 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Cure for String Breakage? njc also don't let the string sound when you are tuning as this causes more string stress ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 21:57:18 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: JMDL musical recommendations (njc) >3.
