Cadaver747: Sorry I might be a bit slow, I don't get it, what am I missing here? ;)
Green_Hilltop: That the answer to all the questions you asked are in the article and since you're gonna be reading the answers here or there anyway, it's best if you just spare the minute and read it over there. :)
No really I read the article twice and then again. There is no snow in Saudi Arabia, there was a snow storm. If the truth is so disgusting then I don't know... chat me.
From wiki:
"Rainfall in Tabuk Area falls in the winter months from November to March, and precipitation ranges between 50 and 150 mm, with some not uncommon snow every 3–4 years"
We have snow every winter. Same applies to northern countries especially to Scandinavia. Kids always play with snow cause it's so much fun, people like to create and build something. I believe that even cavemen people were obsessed with images of animals and sentient human beings which is opposed by Islam, especially Sunni, it's called "Aniconism".
So much question stands: What that Saudi cleric knows about f@#ng snow?
