Candle in the (Islamic) wind

Don't put a candle on a birthday cake and try to light it if you live in Saudi Arabia, because it is apparently against Islam: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-saudi-birthday-controversy,0,7536129.story.

Is it just me, or are absurd stories like this one becoming more common? Who cares if someone lights candles on a birthday cake? Why in the world would that bother anyone?
