Saudi bride roughs up guest for photographing her with camera phone

RIYADH (AFP) - An enraged Saudi bride badly beat up a female wedding guest who had photographed her with a camera-equipped mobile phone, a newspaper reported.
After spotting the woman taking the picture in the all-female section of the party in the western city of Taif, the bride "beat her severely, destroyed her mobile phone and pulled her by her hair in front of all the guests," the Al-Jazirah daily said.
The bride then ripped off the woman's veil and announced through a microphone the woman's motives, before receiving a round of applause "for being vigilant". She then tidied up her appearance and proceeded with the celebration.
Camera-equipped mobile phones are ostensibly banned in the conservative kingdom, where men and women celebrate weddings separately, leaving women at liberty to discard the all-covering black cloaks and veil that are obligatory in the presence of men.
Earlier this month, four ministries appealed to King Fahd to lift the ban, arguing that such technology had become a "fait accompli like television and the internet."

Wow, here's one for your ping lists!
What were the woman's motives?
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Wow, this camera phone makes your ass look big.
Wow! That is just a twisted riot!!! LOL
It never said what the motive was.... ya'll think all those Saudi ladies were giving her one of those "marital aide" parties while out of the black robes? ROFL
Ah yes, the "Religion of Peace"!
Obviously producing Saudi Internet porn... /sarcasm
....while trying on the kinky lingerie she was getting as wedding gifts!
Maybe it's because she saw the Post-It note with Larry Flynt's email addy...

Because the woman objected to being photographed surreptitiously? I’m not a Muslim female, but if anyone had tried to take pictures without my knowledge at my bachelor party, I might have done the same thing.
I believe it's called religion.
Christianity was just as insane - before enlightenment.
All this before the shooting into the sky part of the ceremony too!
Some people just don't like their picture taken.
My big fat Islamic wedding.
Because they are standing around with black fabric covering their face and taking photos with their phones. 21st century meets 12 century.
