A new law in Saudi Arabia banning tempting eyes has become the latest example of female oppression in the country.
The law, which states that women with alluring eyes will be forced to wear a full veil, has been branded stupid by dissenters and roundly criticised on social media, aina.org reports.
Sheikh Motlab al Nabet, spokesman of the Saudi Arabian Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, said they had the right to force women to cover their face.
The men of the committee will interfere to force women to cover their eyes, especially the tempting ones, he said.
We have the right to do so.
Many commentators wondered how the word tempting would be applied. One unnamed journalist in the country suggested it referred to uncovered eyes with a nice shape and makeup.
Or even without makeup, if they are beautiful, the woman will be in trouble, they added.
Prince Naif, whose impending ascension to the Saudi throne many hoped would spell an end to this kind of draconian oppression, looks likely to be as intolerant as his father King Abdullah after suggesting that any Muslim should support the Committees new law.
The committee is supported by all sides, he said.
It should be supported because it is a pillar of Islam. If you are a Muslim, you should support the committee.
Sexual impulse control seems to be a huge problem for Muslim males. Seeing just about any part of a female body pushes them over the edge.
Not if they are tempting.

I think that the Muslims have it backwards: I believe that men should be the ones who cover their faces not women, because I see a lot of ugly men out there whose faces should not be looked at by anyone. just joking, I think.
Tell me again about that war on women...
With their new law, women who are deemed to have attractive eyes will have to dress like this:
they are sick, evil, pathetic arseholes
I always remember a woman I saw in a mall in Northern Virginia. She had the full muslim garb on, but it was all beautiful, not that black bag you usually see. And she did indeed have the most beautiful eyes, which was good because that was all you could see. She really did look like something out of a story book.
I suggest that to test their new law, these lawmakers should find a high cliff and walk in a circle while covering their eyes. If they cannot walk in a circle, they will have to continue walking until they do or, walk off the cliff.
I suggest they skip the blindfold exercise and just walk off the cliff.
Quick, Faisal- cover her up!

lol. correct
I say remove thier eyes. I would pass this by the war on women demonrat senators and the womens rights advocates here in the US first
No, they realize that Muslim men have no will power and will rape a women if they see only her tempting eyes. Of course it would be her fault.
“wouldnt it be more effective to just gouge out all the mens eyes?”
That might be a perverse solution to the problem.
Muslims are the pond scum of the planet.
danger danger
