Saudi Arabia outlaws ‘tempting eyes’
Metro(UK) ^ | 4 Nov 20124 | Harry Readhead

A new law in Saudi Arabia banning ‘tempting eyes’ has become the latest example of female oppression in the country.

The law, which states that women with alluring eyes will be forced to wear a full veil, has been branded ‘stupid’ by dissenters and roundly criticised on social media, aina.org reports.

Sheikh Motlab al Nabet, spokesman of the Saudi Arabian Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, said they ‘had the right’ to force women to cover their face.

‘The men of the committee will interfere to force women to cover their eyes, especially the tempting ones,’ he said.

‘We have the right to do so.’

Many commentators wondered how the word ‘tempting’ would be applied. One unnamed journalist in the country suggested it referred to ‘uncovered eyes with a nice shape and makeup.’

‘Or even without makeup, if they are beautiful, the woman will be in trouble,’ they added.

Prince Naif, whose impending ascension to the Saudi throne many hoped would spell an end to this kind of draconian oppression, looks likely to be as intolerant as his father King Abdullah after suggesting that any Muslim should support the Committee’s new law.

‘The committee is supported by all sides,’ he said.

‘It should be supported because it is a pillar of Islam. If you are a Muslim, you should support the committee.’

I always knew without a doubt that the strongest pillars of islam are myriad nutjobs that inhabit it.

Of course, sooner or later, they will also be the utter, permanent death of islam.

The muslims should just drive all women they find alluring into exile.
And that ought to solve the problem within a generation or two.

Oh for cryin’ out crackers . . .

In the Amazon jungle, there are women who run around stark naked all day, and the men are able to control themselves. What kind of piggish, reckless, animalistic lowlifes are muslims if they lose control of themselves at the sight of an eyebrow?

There’s another solution, I think, not that they’d even consider it.

But mass castrations would certainly put an end to their “temptation” problems!

Westernize these mongrels at gunpoint and a lot of problems will be solved.

Seriously.

They’re all like Vulcans who go sex-crazy every seven (?) years, but for Arab guys, well Hell, they’re so sex-crazed they have to chew saltpeter gum when they’re awake and not even look at women in public or they’ll jump their leg and start humping, and it really scares the younger women.

And this sums up the difference between Islam and Christianity. God’s word teaches that we are born sinners, sin comes from within. Islam teaches that sin is due to temptations from without, so they will always blame others for their own sin; even to ridiculous extremes. What a pathetic and dangerous worldview.
