Sidewalks for women only
Edmonton Journal ^ | September 01, 2007

ABU-DHABI, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia's religious police are insisting that authorities of Medina, one of Islam's holiest cities, should build separate sidewalks for women, the Kuwaiti al-Qabas newspaper reported Friday.

The country's Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, tasked with enforcing Sharia law, believes men and women should not be allowed to mix on the streets of the Islam's second holiest place, where the Prophet Muhammad is buried.

The clerical police, or Mutaween, are authorized to arrest unrelated men and women caught socializing, anyone suspected of being homosexual or a prostitute, and to enforce Islamic dress codes.

If only the women realized how much power they really could have over these men if they banded together. It’s obvious the men are scared of women.

This explains the inbreeding...

It’s funny when you see a crowd of these wankers together say demonstrating or dancing even it’s all dudes. It looks like a gay pride parade.

One thing sure, the “Mutaween” might not survive any investigation of their off duty activities. If you ever have to share a shower with a Mutaween, don’t drop your soap!

It's obvious the men are scared of the women.

Somehow, I doubt that. I imagine it's very much the other way around.

From 2004

Sept. 9, 2004
Sweden is one of the worst hit countries in Europe of Muslim immigration and Political Correctness...
Malmø, Sweden...is effectively ruled by violent gangs of Muslim immigrants...
Rapes in Sweden as a whole have increased by 17% just since the beginning of 2003, and have had a dramatic increase during the past decade. Gang rapes, usually involving Muslim immigrant males and native Swedish girls, have become commonplace. Two weeks ago, 5 Kurds brutally raped a 13-year-old Swedish girl.

I think the women of SA are probably relieved to have their own sidewalks.

From 2007
Ambassadors from Muslim countries have indicated that they intend to present the Swedish prime minister with a list of demands...

" We have to push for a change in the law," he said...

"A permanent parliamentary committee also needs to be established to tackle islamophobia," he added...

"We want to emphasize the fact that Muslims and Christians live side by side in Sweden in a spirit of mutual respect," he said.

Oh yeah. I totally believe it. Every word. /sarc By the time they are done with Sweden the Swedes will be begging for Sharia Law just to stop the madness. The rest of Europe appears to be following right in line. Hope to God we have the guts to stand against "appeasement" before it's too late for us, too. Which side of the "seperate sidewalks" issue do you think the ACLU will be on?

It’s really long past due to give Mecca and Medina the ol’ glass parking lot treatment.

What an insufferable bunch!
