Saudi investigates Christ posters

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (UPI) -- A Saudi newspaper said Sunday
authorities were investigating complaints posters of a crucified
Christ were being distributed to school children.
The semi-official daily al-Watan said Saudis in the western al-Taif
region have complained expatriates from an unidentified southeast
Asian country were "selling stickers and posters of Christ on the
cross to elementary school children."
Unidentified sources told the paper the stickers and posters were
being sold by Asian street peddlers at traffic lights and in front of
schools.
The sources complained selling these products was contrary to Islamic
beliefs Jesus himself was not crucified, but rather someone else who
resembled him.
The paper said because young children were the target market for the
stickers, "adults have become suspicious."
It added parents have called on authorities to take action against
street peddlers to "prevent sedition."
