The Saud/Wahhabi connection dates to the 1800’s, iirc. That’s how the leaders who got to play with the Brits got in the position they were in during and after WWI.
Here is the police lineup. "Can you identify the guilty woman?"
Wow, it takes a brave and fiesty (or drunk and impulsive) woman to assault a cop anywhere, but I imagine that a female assault on a muttawah in Saudi Arabia is unprecedented. These guys aren’t necessarily physically powerful, but they have the full authority of a totalitarian state.
“Saudi religious police are cowardly slime, and probably got into their foul job as a method of sublimating their repressed longings to bugger each other, small children, and/or camels.”
I see you respect them nearly as much as I do. I’d make only one correction to your post: “as a method of sublimating their repressed longings” should read “to enable them”
“I really dont know how many sensible Americans are still left in this country.”
I think there may still two or three of us, right here at Free Republic. ;)
Yeah, he wanted to engage in voyeurism, but perhaps she opened up a can of PMS on him.
You got that right. Good for the woman. Wonder where she learned to fight?
ME Muslim men are so hypocritical it’s not even funny. I lived in the ME for two years. Even though I was in my 40s and dressed in modest, loose clothing as I conducted myself like a lady at all times, I was still propositioned several times. It was quite humiliating. I whipped out a picture of my husband and children, and that usually got the message across. Or else I just made a quick getaway. Bottom line is that the religion was started BY men FOR men. It operates in a way for men to have their cake and eat it too.
They are the same ones who beat young girls as they tried to escape their school that was on fire because they didn’t take the time to find their head to toe burkas and put them on. While the beatings were going on, they actually tried to push them back into the building.
They actually stopped men who tried to help the girls and warned, “It is sinful to approach them.”
15 girls died because of this.
The mutaween are the scum of the earth.
Don’t even think about it — they are all hard-core Muslims. Cannot be trusted with matters pertaining to the security of non-Muslims.
I think something like that could happen in Saudi, and women could pull it off; there's a lot that can be hidden under an abaya.
If you're trying to provoke an argument with me, you're going to fail. OK, maybe I will argue with you: No, they aren't scum. Scum is a higher form of life than the Mutawin.
If I'd had a daughter at that school (and I thought seriously of working in the KSA when I was preparing to retire from the USAF, so could have) there would be dead mutawin all over the place after that incident.
