Saudi Religious Police Want Sex-Segregated Sidewalks Built...

Nothing, and I mean nothing is too petty for Islamists..

ABU-DHABI, August 31- 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 said Friday.

The country's Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), 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.

The Mutaween enforce Islamic female dress codes, ordering women to wear headscarves and abayas, long black dresses covering the whole body except for face, hands and feet. Women are not allowed to leave their houses without their husbands or immediate male relatives.

Apartheid.

Male/Female--Muslim/Non-Muslim

Human Rights, anyone?

We will hear from the feminists in...........................................................Oh, wait, they don't bother fighting for the women who are really being oppressed. It is easier to bully western companies and men than to take on the real abusers of women.

What a bunch of wackos. How much longer are people going to ignore the fact Islam is an oppressive, bigoted, backwards religion and Muhammed was a nutjob? Anyone following the laws of Islam is a nutjob too.

You know, you read stuff like this day in and day out and you have to wonder...if you were a woman in Saudi Arabia, giving birth to your first child and it's a baby girl...your eyes must fill with tears. Tears of sorrow for your little one, not tears of joy.

Oh, good grief... maybe the Islamists will find some way to harvest female eggs, grow babies in test tubes..and then just kill off all the women so they won't have to deal with them anymore.
