Saudi Arabia Erupts as News Anchor Appears on National TV without Headscarf
International Business Times ^ | 8-7-2014 | Sounak Mukhopadhyay

There was uproar in Saudi Arabia after a female news anchor appeared on national television without wearing a headscarf. The news anchor, name undisclosed, read the headlines for the Al Ekhbariya news channel. Probably the only reason she was allowed to appear on a Saudi channel without the headscarf was that she read news from a London studio.

The The "uncovered" girl, whose body is completely covered in a jacket until the neck, has now become a part of a national scandal for the orthodox Muslim country. She apparently wore a hijab on her previous reading sessions as photos appeared online suggesting so. Saudi Arabia, a strictly Islamic country, formed its national legal system on the basis of the Islamic Sharia law. According to the Holy Quran, women are advised to wear "modest" clothes, a term often interpreted differently in various reasons.

In Saudi Arabia, women are strongly advised to cover themselves in clothes. They are required to wear headscarves along with full-length abayas and veils. There may be legal actions against women who do not dress "modestly" in Saudi Arabia. "Immodest" clothing may include not wearing the headscarf.

Saudi Women will have the right to vote in 2015. So far, women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to cast vote.

Female rape victims may be prosecuted for having a physical relation with the rapist.

Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.

My daughter was assigned a work-study job at her college to tutor some Saudi males in English.

Freed from the constraints of the morality police these kids go absolutely hog wild. Endless drinking, drugs, orgy-like sex. She had to complain a number of times to the administration that they were engaging in improper behavior towards her, bordering on sexual harassment.

One of them got beaten-up by a gang of black Americans because he had no cultural understanding of why they were allowed to toss around the “N” word, but he wasn’t.

And of course they have access to endless buckets of money that would allow them to party themselves right into the grave.

She is convinced they will all be thoroughly dysfunctional adults.

Don’t be so negative. Look what the 19th did for America.

maybe that’s why they’re working so hard to recruit Europeans and Americans to become IslamoNazi terrorist bombers
