Saudi woman beats up virtue cop
Jpost ^ | 5/17/10 | Ben Walt

It was a scene Saudi women’s rights activists have dreamt of for years.

When a Saudi religious policeman sauntered about an amusement park in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Al-Mubarraz looking for unmarried couples illegally socializing, he probably wasn’t expecting much opposition.

But when he approached a young, 20-something couple meandering through the park together, he received an unprecedented whooping.

A member of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the Saudi religious police known locally as the Hai’a, asked the couple to confirm their identities and relationship to one another, as it is a crime in Saudi Arabia for unmarried men and women to mix.

For unknown reasons, the young man collapsed upon being questioned by the cop.

According to the Saudi daily Okaz, the woman then allegedly laid into the religious policeman, punching him repeatedly, and leaving him to be taken to the hospital with bruises across his body and face.

You were saying ...

A very brave young woman.She could be in some *very* serious trouble as a result of this.

Actually, it's more along the lines of Taqiyya... the lying for Allah in the defense of Islam ... you see ...

It's like Mohammed Atta who went to strip joints too and drank beer -- that didn't seem to stop him from doing "9/11" ...

Understanding Taqiyya ― Islamic Principle of Lying for the Sake of Allah

I understand from reading some other FReepers here on Free Republic that she is supported by the Hezbollah in infiltrating the West (a lot of Hezbollah over here, in the U.S., too...). And this Miss USA has relatives who are top officials in the Hezbollah terrorist organization, too.

Not quite true from THEIR point of view. Maybe the Sunni and Shia don't consider them Moslem, but from the standpoint of the Alawis, there's some question about the legitimacy of the others.

You will always find some reluctance on the part of Moslems anywhere to let you know the particular subgroup they belong to ~ with good reason, too as it turns out some of these subgroups have been conducting open warfare with some of the others for hundreds of years and will initiate violence at the drop of a hat.

In Syria the President is an Alawi!

This Miss USA, in being a Muslim and having relatives who are top official in the Hezbollah organization over in Lebanon -- causes me not to be too persuaded to give her a "pass" on the matter ... LOL ...

Already read it.

I think you are trying to point me to an issue I am not addressing.

BTW, Islam is not monolithic. Some of these people like to kill the others.

There was absolutely no necessity for Atta to attend a strip joint. If it were somehow necessary to facilitate the plot, then I could entertain the possibility that it was “Taqiyya.” He was defiled and died as an infidel by his own religion's rules. He was nothing more than a murderous thug without any excuse. No one even knew who he was, much less “made” him go there and drink. It's ridiculous to even suggest such a thing.

All I need to know about this Miss USA winner is that she's a Muslim and she's got relatives who are top officials in Hezbollah ... the rest of how you want to divide up the Muslims into categories can be discussed by the academics... LOL ...

I see "Taqiyya" worked on you ... LOL ...

And actually, no matter what a person did before he goes on a terrorist mission -- the second he dies as a terrorist on behalf of Allah -- that happens to be the only guarantee of "salvation" (if you will) for a Muslim for anything that they ever do in life. That action is a "guarantee" for a Muslim (just about the only guarantee they get in Islam)... :-)

You can tell me up is down, black is white all day long, but that man was far from devout and he didn't wipe out his delusional approach to fidelity to Allah with his final act. It is absolutely asinine to suggest that it did. I don't care if they all believe it, I'm standing here telling you post to post he was a perverted sociopath. If what you say is true, he tried to slip a night of sin (according to his own religion) under the radar of a just and almighty God RIGHT BEFORE he gave his life. Sorry. I'll take Major World Religions for $1000, Alex.

No matter what you think he was doing the night before he did the 9/11 attacks -- the fact of the matter is that the only guarantee in Islam for "salvation" (as they see it) is by way of fighting for Allah in battle (and that was the 9/11 attack). He could have done anything in the world, and he would have that "guarantee" in Islam.

But, at the same time, we also have Taqiyya, and that is very active and operational in this country, no matter what you think about it. It's a foundational part of Islam and is practiced all the time... even by those who live in nice neigbhorhoods and look to be a "perfect family" supposedly integrating into American culture... they know "taqiyya", too and they'll keep practicing it until they have complete dominance over you and others in this country (and they are on their way there right now).... :-)

If you say so, dear. I believe you because you appear to have spent a great deal of time on what Islam has become, as opposed to what I learned it was in comparative religion. Such a shame — for them, I mean. We'd have gone on thinking they worshiped the same God and were good little DoBees. As it says, all things will be brought to light.

Well, then they all have to go out with a bang in order to make up for it. Something tells me they don’t really believe it or practice what they preach. Hypocrisy, Thy name is Islam, or so it would seem.

Do you remember the Saudi school girls who were trapped in a burning school because the virtue police would not let them out of the building because in their haste to escape the fire, they forgot to cover their faces. These virtue cops actually forced some girls to go back into the burning building because their faces were not covered. This cause a lot of anger and controversy in Saudi Arabia.

Honestly, I didn’t remember the incident. But I am outraged at hearing about it now. Not, God bless Saudi Arabia, but—well, we’ve heard it before.
