Woman Attacks Vice Cops With Pepper Spray

Following on from yesterday’s stupidity, the infamous C-Men (the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice or as I prefer to think of them, the Ministry for Lasciviousness and Licentiousness) have got in on the act. The Arab News reports two women calling them terrorists, one of them pepper spraying (“don’t spray me bro’”) whilst the other filmed it. The women’s crime? Being “dolled up”, which is a C-Men way of saying “they were wearing make-up”.

Sigh – what can I say – at least the C-Men did not beat these two to death as they have managed in their past efforts when accosting folks.

The C-Men also got into the Ramadan spirit and fun in Jeddah by banning

female shoppers from sitting in a makeshift outdoor restaurant to have their iftar meals in a low-income neighborhood in Jeddah because men were already seated at special tables set up for the fasting month

Such immorality. Such stupidity.

Ali Al-Hayyan, head of the commission’s Jeddah branch, said the agents’ actions were meant as a deterrent, “especially since some of the women were dolled up, and also to prevent the mixing of the sexes that could happen at such events and which our religion rejects,” the paper said.

This is their way of saying that the 12 million Muslims in Saudi Arabia have it right and the billion Muslims elsewhere in the world have it wrong when it comes to the mixing of sexes. What arrogance.

Of course, this is all going to make it easier to attract foreign businessmen to the Kingdom and attract investment, a stated government aim.

Read it all in the Arab News.
