Saudi Arabia: Young Men Not Allowed

"And it's the young women who are to blame"

This is a sign that proudly hangs at the entrances of supermarkets and shopping malls across Riyadh, and is directed at all men above the age of 16. It is an annoying sign for many, especially since in some parts of the Kingdom this rule is not adhered to.

Many youngsters are fed up and are calling on security guards and the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice to give them a break. One high school student told Arab News: “This is something we see wherever we go. Is this rule only applied to Riyadh? In Jeddah and the whole of the Eastern Province the situation is quite different.”

Speaking about the situation in Jeddah, he said: “Youngsters in Jeddah are free to go anywhere. Why is that? Are we all bad in Riyadh? Why is it that all Saudi young men in Riyadh are punished because of the wrongdoings of a few?”

The youngster, who did not want to be named, said the situation was unfair. “We feel wronged because women are the source of problems and can go anywhere they want wearing fashionable clothes under their abayas. They wear provocative clothes and the only people who are punished are the ones who bother them. Young women are to blame,” he said.

More emasculated, frustrated, complaining Sons of Allah at the link.

Saudi Witches to be terminated

And I don't mean they will be given a pink slip.

No, according to this follow up article over at Western Resistance.the morality police are going to "purify the cradle of Islam."

This does not bode well for the Naked Witch that reminded me of my friend, Lois.


Saudi Arabia: Asian and African Witches Will be Hunted Down and "Terminated"

Saudi Arabia's dread morality police, known officially as the Authority for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, have unleashed a brutal campaign to stamp out `witchcraft' in an effort to purify the cradle of Islam, reports
Reuters.

The move by the Saudi morality police follows a
June 3 Western Resistance news report about a naked African `witch' who terrified devout Muslims in Medina.

Over recent months, Saudi newspapers have been full of reports about alleged witches and sorcerers, primarily from India and Africa, reports Reuters. Desperate and impoverished Saudis, many of who have little chance of improving their lives in the country's brutal reality, turn to sorcerers in order to find hidden treasure or get a good job.

The morality police are setting up emergency centers throughout the Saudi kingdom to "register complaints on sorcerers and charlatans, track them and terminate them,'' said morality police chief, Sheikh Ibrahim bin Abdallah al-Ghaith, in the al-Madinah newspaper, reported Reuters.

Such hysteria is fitting for Saudi Arabia, one of the last totalitarian regimes on earth. This oil-rich kingdom of about 20 million citizens and another 5 million guest workers from the Muslim world is desperately trying to reconcile its violent and superstitious Islamic beliefs with the demands of a modern and developed society.
The Arabian peninsula gave birth to the founder of Islam, the 7th century warlord and pedophile, Mohammed. Saudi Arabia propagates one of the most violent forms of Islam, and gave the world 15 out of 19 terrorists on September 11, 2001.

The current witch hunt, aimed mostly at Indian and Africans, appears to be a symptom of the racism inherent in the Arab culture. For centuries, Arabs traded in African slaves, and such slavery continues today, with both African women and Slavic women from the former Soviet Union being forced into prostitution.

Hoochie Mamas of the Sudan released

Per Reuters: Sudan to release women jailed for brewing alcohol

KHARTOUM, May 30 (Reuters) - Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has decreed all women imprisoned for brewing illegal alcohol should be released, ending a vicious cycle affecting southern widows trying to feed their families in Khartoum.
It seems that a key component of the Sudan's economic and social structure is the home brewing of white lightning.
"...mostly southerners who fled the north-south civil war to live in slums surrounding the capital Khartoum. Women with as many as eight children, often widowed, make and sell home-brewed alcohol known locally as Aragi or Mireisse to feed their families."
Everything was just fine until Sharia arrived. What a surprise.
Selling alcohol in Sudan is illegal under Islamic Sharia law, which was imposed in 1983 and was one of the catalysts for the war between the mostly Christian and animist south and the Islamist government in Khartoum.
If you haven't been following the Sudan (and I really haven't either - so many Islamic terror fronts, so little time) there is this:

Under the deal sharia has been lifted in southern Sudan and a new constitution enshrines religious freedom throughout the country. But a commission to protect the rights of non-Muslims in the northern capital Khartoum has yet to be formed and many are still arrested for making alcohol.


Kafir Hoochie Mamas unite.

Lois, honey is that you?

Ah-h-h. Baghdad by the bay. Do they still call San Francisco that? I used to live there back in the day and one of my best friends, a wild black woman named Lois lived right across the street from me in a neighborhood we laughingly referred to as Dolores Heights.

Lois was a tall, graceful and beautiful woman who resembled a African Warrior Queen but hailed from a small town in the deep South. (or Sudanese model Alek Wek. I have to ask you to imagine what she looks like . Blogger is screwed up and won't allow the posting of photos) We had known each other for years before we both moved to San Fran. She was wonderful but complicated and we loved each other like sisters. She had a beautiful but troubled soul and I'm sorry to say our friendship ended sadly and badly. I still think of her often and I do miss having her in my life, but I had decided I couldn't stand by and watch her become addicted to alcohol and painkillers and so I spoke out about it.

You know how you usually end up pissing off people who use alcohol and drugs when you start calling them on stuff?

Well, I guess I pissed her off but good because one day Lois wrote me out of her life.

Anyhow, I was scrolling around over at Western Resistance when I found this post by Jean de la Valette: Saudi Arabia: Naked African `Witch' Brings Medina to a Standstill and as I started reading it my first thought was of my old friend, Lady Lo.

It truly sounds like some kind of crazy thing she would get herself mixed up in. Then I read the entire post (posted here in its entirety it is so freaking bizarre) and I am left wondering about the poor Saudi Arabian African witch and how she is doing as well. It doesn't sound good for her at all.

The dread Islamic morality police in Saudi Arabia, one of the last remaining totalitarian countries left on earth, launched a fierce manhunt for a naked black woman in Medina, Islam's second most holy city. Since the woman dared to walk the city streets naked, locals accused her of being a witch, reports Newsru, the Russian web newspaper.

The morality police later located the woman in a brothel in this city of 918,000 inhabitants, but the righteous Muslim warriors were totally disarmed by the view of a naked female. This bought the criminal valuable time, letting her escape through the window, but when she climbed onto a nearby rooftop she fell through and landed in the bedroom of several small children.

The sight of a naked African woman falling through the roof, into a room with innocents, and then walking away unharmed, was taken by locals as further proof of her demonic powers. Aware of the potent threat that naked woman pose to Islam, the morality police called in reinforcements and later apprehended the `witch.'

Medina is famous for the Mosque of the Prophet, a shrine to the 7th century Arabian warlord and pedophile, Mohammed. The city also holds the Quba Mosque, the first mosque in Islam. As with Mecca, only Muslims are allowed to enter the city, and each year hundreds of thousands of pilgrims come to these sites.

In Islam, the female body is an object of loathing and sometimes subject to mutilation, such as female circumcision. In Islam, women are also subjected to daily psychological and physical abuse, such as brutal subjugation to their fathers and husbands.
