The shop will sell 18 "islamic approved" products.
"Our products increase feelings of sensuality and improve the atmosphere between the couple in the sexual relationship between them."
the sordid store's products - which include oils and creams - "maintain the integrity, pure humanity and ethics inherent with the sharia".

That did make me chuckle in that inanimate objects have to be deemed halal. Saudi Arabia really needs to get a grip and entertain the world of reality.
And in other news, on the same page.

I worry about these people.
I wonder what his views are on a Saudi sex shop. They should name it the SSS. One letter away from the SS.
It made me chuckle that you don't know that 'halal' means 'permitted' and can apply to anything, including inanimate objects.
Yes, I'm fully aware what halal means.
What I'm getting at is, you don't need to label these things as halal or permitted, the very fact these places are there one can assume they are permitted by the local powers that be.
I can go to my local off licence. It doesn't say permitted off licence, just off licence. I know it is permitted.
Uh huh. Of course that is what you meant.
"Are they halal?"
"Oh, I don't know."
"You'd better check... I couldn't get turned on without feeling guilty unless they were."
It seemed like that is what he meant to me
I'm surprised that authorities in Saudi Arabia would allow anything that encouraged sex. From some of the crazy shit I've read about the place it almost seemed like sex itself was "haram".
Haha
Given that it was a Muslim who wrote 'The Perfumed Garden', a rather racy sex-manual, 900 years ago, I find nothing surprising about having a sex shop in a Muslim country... as it isn't sex that Islam has an issue with... it is sex outside of marriage (and of course between same sex couples). The Qu'ran/Hadith encourages married (only of course) couples to enjoy their sex life. Men are instructed to ensure the woman's satisfaction before their own. (It is very like the Judaic law in this regard).
Thought that was more of an African thing?
Edit: Seems it does happen in Saudi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_female_genital_mutilation_by_country#Saudi-Arabia
Saying that it happens here.
I suppose it's an example of believing everything we're told by western media. They say Saudi is hell on earth, Saudi media say it's great and the truth will be somewhere in between.
"Whats on the menu?" A couple of ex-wives.
Turned out to be total b*llox with much unnecessary flapping around from senior Management.
They were more interested in our culture, what people here did out of work, places we went to, hobbies, interests etc.
When they left they hired a conference suite in a local Hotel and laid on a full buffet and free p*ss up. Most of us were drinking beers...they were knocking back spirits!
Doesn't surprise me. A lot of what we're told is rubbish, but we generally swallow it hook, line and sinker.
Of course Saudi isn't perfect, far from it, but the truth usually lies between our and their propaganda.
You think that's creepy, listen to this conversation.

In other words, up your bum Islam!
