You already really didn't want to tempt fate and try and bring your cameraphone with you on your next visit to Saudi Arabia, but apparently since a government ban on selling and importing them hasn't worked (they even sparked a brawl at a wedding there back in July), they've decided to turn to a higher power. The kingdom's supreme religious leader, Sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al al-Sheik, issued a religious edict condeming cellphones with built-in digital cameras, saying that they spread obscenity and that all citizens should renounce them immediately or risk punishment.
