Re: arrest mother for sitting with a man: what do you do with this?
God save the king. What else can I say ? These mutaween are jahil and so many desies returning from KSA tell stories of Sardar Jees been beaten by these idiots at the Namaz time for being outside the Masjid not inside it.** You know why because Sardar Jees having beard look like Muslim men to them.**
Come on
Any partially blind person can spot a sikh among thousands of non-sikh folk
Okey I tell you an incident
Once a sikh drove her pregnant wife screaming with pain to nearby McDonalds
Customer there astonished to see this asked this sikh fellow why did he brought her here
The sikh replied "I heard delivery is free in Mcdonalds '
Now read carefully :
The above mentioned incident never happened. This is merely a joke. Sikhs are very sane and sensible people. Similarly what you mentioned is also a popular joke desi people tell. It is easy to mistook A hindu ( looking like a pakistani ) working at bakery in Jeddah, than considering a sikh ( with a prominent turbun ) to be a muslim.
Code_Red, the point you made above is valid...ie she was guilty of breaching the law of the state.
But consider the punishment...the strip search, the disgrace in the toilet...are these justified?
Surely the punishment should be meted out in a more humane way?
Code_Red
about the memory part..well she was sitting with a man. all the other men were in other chamber. about the case, well she ought to have respected the law of the land, but i think the punishment she was subjected to was too harsh to be called human. strip-search and the toilet torture, were they really needed?? i think, some of the punishments and laws of SA are too harsh, almost animal like.
Apparently, she never faced any real punishment. Her husband secured her release the same day. All she had to do was sign a false confession. Now i dont know what really was that 'false confession'. If that was really false she should not have signed it. Or it was merely the detail of the offense she commited i.e sitting with unrelated person in a designated family area.
She was right that other women who dont have connections suffer more.
I agre that In KSA punishments for crimes are very harsh. This is a hardcore fact. But at the same time crime rate in this country is also one of the lowest in the world.
Like many of you, I would have taken this above ^^ statement as hogwash just a year ago, if someone told me this but I have witnessed this with my own eyes.
Shopping mall jam packed with shopper gets vacated in matter of minutes at the sound of Azan (call for prayers) and each and every one heads toward masjid for prayers, shopkeeper leaving their shops open. Even jewlery shop beaming with gold ornaments are left unattended. And there is hardly any security or watchmen there.
What do you think the reason of such higher level of protection and security there.
One reason is the harsh punishment for theft, i.e chopping off hands.
The mere mention of this punishment terrorise the potential offenders.
