Saudi moral committee threatens to cover “tempting” women’s eyes

Women with sexy eyes in Saudi Arabia may be forced to cover them up, according to the spokesperson of the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV) in the conservative Gulf kingdom.

Spokesman of the Ha’eal district, Sheikh Motlab al-Nabet said the committee has the right to stop a women whose eyes seem “tempting” and order her to cover them immediately.

Saudi women are already forced to wear a loose black dress and to cover their hair and in some areas, their face, while in public or face fines or sometimes worse, including public lashings.

The announcement came days after the Saudi newspaper al-Watan reported that a Saudi man was admitted to a hospital after a fight with a member of the committee when he ordered his wife to cover her eyes. The husband was then stabbed twice in the hand.

The CPVPV is Saudi’s Sharia, Islamic law, executive arm and was founded in 1940 to ensure Islamic laws are not broken in public, yet over the years, the committee has been largely criticized over its human rights violations.

In 2002, the committee refused to let female students out of their burning schools in Mecca for “not wearing the proper head cover,” which contributed to a large number of dead.

15 young girls died in the fire and dozens more were injured. The CPVPV men banned the firemen and policemen from accessing the girls as “it is not okay for girls to be seen without their full Islamic dress in front of strangers.”

The committee, which only accepts and trains volunteers, has questionable powers on the Saudi street, as they operate under the supervision of the King himself.

A Wikileaks document released last year mentioned that “wild Western-style parties” are regularly held at royal palaces in Jeddah, away from the reach of the committee, who stands helpless against any royal violations.

It was reported that the parties had alcohol, drugs, dancing and sex, according to American consulate wires published by the whistle-blower organization.

When lustful men try to live the lie that lust is not a condition of their own hearts, but the responsibility/fault of the woman (or man) being lusted, this is the result.

Ah yes, once one goes down that path of ‘covering up’ as a means of preventing temptation, it would seem that there is no limit to where it goes. What if she has ‘sexy sunglasses’ underneath those veiled and screened eye slits? What if she has a sexy voice? What if she smells purdy?

Hard to believe that anyone takes these “people” seriously.

Anyone who has been to Bahrain can tell you about how Saudis act once away from the Muttawa (I think they’re called) - the religious police. Allah apparently can’t see beyone the causeway.

It's not the shooter but the gun. It's not the drug addict but the drug. It's not the booze hound but the bottle. Nothing new about any of this.

What a great “religion”. Man cannot control their desires? Woman is viewed as evil simply because of the shape of her body or the “temptingness” of her eyes? And so because the outward appearance of a woman is always a temptation to the islamic man, that alone can be used as reason to imprison them in burkas or face rape and death? What great options.

Oh, the mullahs already have fatwas dictating that a woman may not walk with an enticing sway, nor wear bracelets or anklets that jingle, nor may she wear an alluring scent, nor speak with a sweet and sultry voice.

You can tell that she must be beautiful from the way she bumps into things because her eyes are covered. Harlot!

“Tramp.”

OMG! Now that’s just too damn funny. I don’t care who you are.

Yet, that is the warped, distorted, and twisted mentallity of the typical Arab/Muzzie male.

(No, no, no, no! It’s not my fault that I raped her! It was her “tempting” eyes that forced me to do it. She seduced me. She wanted me to do it. It doesn’t matter that she was only 8 years-old. She should be stoned to death. Now, please to excuse me. I must go home and cut my eldest daughter’s throat in order to save my honor. Allah wills it. /sarc)

Where the hell are Gloria Allred and her fascist friends from N.O.W.?

Yet we hear often of American women wanting to join this cult.

If it wasn’t for oil (and terrorists) no one would pay attention to these dune monkeys. Move Obama aside and start drilling like our lives depended on it.

According to a colleague of mine who does contract work in Saudi Arabia, “Transportation Directors” are very wealthy.

See, first you own a little place “not in Saudi Arabia” but close enough to get there in a day without documented air travel.

At the little establishment, you violate all Sharia laws and have a “full monty” “American Style” “Gentlemen’s club” with a little “Chicken Ranch” mixed in. Stock it with top shelf. Make sure you are not in a “Muslim” area and are very discrete.

According to the source, there are a lot of American women that work in these places.

You have to love the Muslim hypocrisy. It reminds me of the High Priests and Hypocrites of Jesus’ time.
