Saudis Arrest and Strip Search Woman For Having A Business Meeting With An Unrelated Man

[unapatriciated]

Doesn’t it give you a warm fuzzy feeling that these misogynist thugs are our allies?

“A businesswoman was detained and strip-searched by Saudi Arabia’s religious police for sitting in a Starbucks coffee shop with an unrelated man, taboo in the country.
The English-language Arab News today quoted a 40-year-old financial consultant, named only as Yara, as saying she was arrested by members of the powerful Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.

5. I have seen that, it is sick and inexcusable...

The saudis have been at this longer than us, but under the rule of King George we are catching up to them.

7. Fuck though, this is OUR COUNTRY. How, how, how can this be happening!

Damn! It's Ohio for Jeebus' sake.

And it is DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO BUSH ET AL.!

HE set the bar so low. He TOLD US it was okay if it was for the right reasons.

We need to smash that Ohio prison.

If it were my wife, blood would be spilled. But we should not let these fuckers work in law enforcement. Or their bosses.

6. We have a vid to go after the thugs with....

The saudis do it in secret and force confessions that could me a long jail sentence or worse, the man she was meeting with is still in jail. These are bushies friends.

8. So you trust the "system" to be fair?

[unapatriciated]

9. no I trust her lawyers.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. That was bad and many of our police are out of control...but it pales in comparison to what the saudis do to their women in secret.

[Bonobo]

10. I'm saying basically...

Fuck the Saudis. Short of killing them, what are we going to do?

But this is OUR country and it's a bigger issue than this one case.

It was done, by those bastards and bitches, knowing the camera was running -and why? Why was it "okay" with them to have the camera running?

-Because the stupid, fascist pricks are so deep down in their soul twisted that they thought what they were doing was "according to the procedures". That's what the Sheriff said! And you know what? They probably were following their fascistic procedures.

It is the fact that people are willing to jump on Saudis because it is a foreign culture and so it looks so "weird" and "evil".

Well, I got news for you. It is equally evil and weird and reflective of OUR SICK COUNTRY -Yes, America is cough, cough sick-.

Because you don't know how to recognize our own evil sufficiently. If you did, you wouldn't try to rationalize it by pretending it was done by "bad apples".

12. In what part of my post did I state...

It was one "bad apple"? Why are you angry with me? I'm fully aware of what our country has become. I don't rationalize anything that was done in the vid you posted. It can not be rationalized. They were not following procedures and they were stupid enough to film it. I hope it stays in the public eye, that is the only way we will be able to stop this. If for some reason you think that I accept this type of police brutality, you are wrong. I was only pointing out how bush's rule and the country's he considers allies has put us on a very fascist path.
