Saudi is indeed a strange place. I worked there also as recently as a year ago for Aramco. However, there behavior is guided by customs and Arabic traditions rather than Islamic truths. I am currently living in Kuwait and I have not seen the article about BT use here in Kuwait. I will have to check that out.
As for spreading democracy, uuuh, have you looked Iraq lately? We can thank GWB for this for sure. Anyway, without getting political, invading Saudi or any other Arab country will not excuse the fact that the US is far in bed with the Saudi's that they have carte blanche to do what ever they want.

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.

Did you know that you can spy on people with the new Aibo? It can take pictures at will and you can view them on the internet or you can connect to it with your cellphone and let it take pictures of your victims.

Last time out when I had my transit flight boarding from Saudi Arabia, I saw a big bunch of people using camera phones as normal at the airport terminal.

Female college students carrying cameraphones on campus in any college in Saudi Arabia could face a SR500 fine and 3-year suspension under recent regulations issued by the Ministry of Education,reports
MENAFN.
Numerous schools in the region do not allow mobile phones either with or without cameras on the premises. This move was after students' misconduct was noted and repeated including students calling each other during class within the classroom, photographing teachers and school mates during class, as well as sending each other indecent text messages via Bluetooth.
Last month the ministries of interior, commerce and industry, communications and information technology and finance separately submitted to the Royal Court requests for cellular phones with cameras to be openly permitted in the Kingdom."
