I was reading the Japan Times, and I found a small article regarding Barbie dolls. Here's a snippet:

"RIYADH (AP) Saudi Arabia's religious police have declared Barbie dolls a threat to morality, complaining the revealing clothes of the "Jewish" toy--banned in the kingdom--are offensive to Islam."

The tiny article continues, explaining that the Saudi Religious Police have a website (in Arabic), and one poster said this:

"Jewish Barbie dolls, with their revealing clothes and shameful postures... are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West. Let us beware of her dangers."

Since I couldn't find the link in the Japan Times website, I did a search and found a similar article.
