Students Who Violate the Rules Will Be Suspended Immediately

A Saudi Arabian university has warned its female students of immediate dismissal for imitating men’s haircuts and outfits, a local media report said on Tuesday.

According to the report in the Okaz daily, the Imam Mohammad Bin Saud Islamic University in Riyadh sent the warning messages on Monday, while the decision will be enforced starting next month.

The university stressed students who violate the warning will be suspended immediately, Xinhua News Agency quoted the report as saying.

The decision covers women with very short haircuts which are considered by conservative Muslims as a sin for imitating men.

The thing about this story is not about hair. It is about women attending universities in Saudi Arabia. SA does know they need to reform and become more modern. Saudi women educated abroad don’t want to come back and often don’t.

The American feminists don’t give a rip about Saudi Arabian women. Saudi Arabia is giving them lessons on the totalitarian control of Americans. Their toxic group think agenda is power and the ability to control all aspects of our lives, with help from the Leftist trial lawyers and their allies.

My wife went to a Christian high school. The girls were required to wear dresses and the boys pants.

The Bible says women shouldn’t dress as men, and men shouldn’t dress as women (Dt. 22:5).

Among Jews and Muslims, it is thought a man should have facial hair.

Long hair is a indication of being female since men often suffer male pattern baldness. Similarly, being bald-headed is masculine.

We have freedom of religion, so I don’t know if our government should be passing laws regarding dress, grooming and manners. But, certainly, private schools can, and should.

I love haircuts on women of any style and/or length they prefer.

I hated that buzz cut of Sinead O’Conner’s hair. Some people adored it. We live in a culture that celebrates the smorgasbord of humanity rather than the totalitarian control of their lives. Our Christian heritage wants the spirit of the Holy Spirit to change people’s behavior, not the iron hand of government in all aspects of people’s lives.

A good number of “lesbian” females in the western world, go out of their way to have a mannish appearance. Some look like men at first glance.

I always wonder — if a “lesbian” is a woman who loves another woman, but she is happy to be a woman, why go against all the social norms of appearance, and try to look so much like a man?????

Ya, good question. Since the Moslem females are expected to cover their heads, and often their faces too, how would we know what their hair is like in the first place???

Because there are female informers.

This is the way of fascism.

No short haircuts?

And how would anyone know since they all wear hijabs?

“Sinead O’Conner is an idiot, but at least she is beautiful...”

Was.

Age and her reckless and mentally ill behavior have seriously armed her looks.

I didn’t know women in Saudi Arabia were allowed to go to universities.
