Saudi Religious Cops Tell Women Not to Use Swings (b/w Restaurants Shut Over Gender-Mixing)
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Tuesday, January 14, 2014

Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police entered a public park in the Gulf Kingdom and told women to stop using swings, an act that drew applause and criticism by viewers of a picture showing the men warning some women at the swings.

The picture went viral on social networks in Saudi Arabia before it was published by newspapers showing two men from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice warning women against using the swings.

“Some viewers of the picture supported the move by the Commission members on the grounds women using the swing could encourage men to harass or molest them,” the Saudi Arabic language daily ‘ Al Sada’ said.

“Others said they believe the act is not acceptable as it amounted to an unjustified interference and repression of women by the Commission.”

Restaurant shut over gender-mixing

Saudi Arabia’s influential religious police shut a restaurant in the conservative Gulf kingdom for massive violations including allowing gender-mixing.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, backed by other police men and municipality inspectors, raided the restaurant in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah and ordered it shut indefinitely.

“Sources said they shut the restaurant after it was found to be violating local laws, including allowing mixing between men and women, operating obscene TV channels and serving shisha in closed places,” Sabq daily said.

Gender-mixing is strictly banned in schools, universities and most other places in the oil-rich kingdom.

THE TROJAN PIG OF ISLAM:

The fascist ideology of Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.

“Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice”

When we were there in the 80’s and 90’s this was called the
“Commission for Encouraging the Good Action and Forbidding the Bad Action”.

They're right. The women might remind these "men" too much of little, innocent, pure 5 yr old girls. And we all know what Muslim "men" think of them.

I want Robert Spencer to be the next Secretary of State.

We need to stop trade with the entire Muslim world.

No travel to or from the Muslim world, except:

Repatriation from the West of all citizens of Muslim countries.

Enhanced surveillance of all Muslims who are citizens of Western countries.

The local women there need to sneak around at night and slit a few throats before they get the knife. The women know the thugs’ names.

I got talking once to a respiratory therapist at the hospital where I worked.She told me that a few years earlier,in order to make some $$$,she worked for a year in a Saudi hospital.She said that she and an American friend ran into the religious police a couple of times.She said that they had this whip-like instrument that they'd use to whip their ankles if their slacks/skirt exposed too much of their ankles.Amazing!

As we all know, Islamic men have zero self-control!
