    Much of the custom of KSA is custom.. its social.. not government. I have NEVER worn an Abaya in KSA.

    The Muttaween are men .. there aren't many of them.. Thank God.. The population considers them pests.

    They wear short thobes and long beards.

    I'd be interested in knowing the percentages of complaints the Committee receives from men vs. women. I'd bet you'd have some insight into that. I've never been to the Middle East, but I've heard that, at least in Afgh., women are their own worst enemies.

    I have no idea.. I know that they were thrown out of the International book fair last year in Jeddah.

    I have never heard of citizens calling the muttaween.

    Most people do not want some armed cultural revolution.

    Besides that. If "we" find some undiscovered tribe in the rainwood,.. than it's all cute and lets leave them alone in their ways. We must not disturb them. It would be wrong to see them in jeans next year. While others get the full fury of "why aren't they like us! They must be like us. They must have our norms!". While others get the "yeah well, in my country I can carry a big gun around. We execute people. And we do not care you find it wrong".


    Buttah... I doubt not that those SA's norms and laws are going to be around for long. As in .. say 50 years. Just like the United States used to be an Apartheid state not so long ago. Which is so strange to people age 30, that they don't even realise that their parents know all about it.

    You realize how absurd this is? Saudi women wear nail polish, make up and perfume.

    In my perspective, if such a thing is allowed by law somewhere in a country, than it's the entire country.

    And for the "luls" it was in my news 3 days ago that they looked back to Ruby Bridges who as an Afro-American (or whatever the PC word is) on 14 november 1960 entered a school with a police escort. And because of that, 500 white children got pulled out that school by their racist parents.

    And Ruby Bridges is still very alife and experienced the end of that apartheid policy in the US. It totally blows the mind of the youth of today and no doubt will refuse to believe it's such a very recent history at the start. While no doubt the parents of Ruby would never have thought the US could change so much. But it took well over 50 years.

    And you just have to be more patient with SA.

    The Muttaween are cracked.. They wear short thobes and have long scraggly beards.

    They will in time. They didn't show up until the mid 1970s when there were so many foreigners working on one of the five year plans.

    Saudi citizens were outnumbered ... by foreign nationals.

    You know that Muttaween means "volunteers"???

    No I am not.

    The United States is 1 country, and at the time the federal government allowed apartheid to exist, means it was an apartheid state. This era came to an end when president Johnson signed the civil rights act and the voting rights act. With these federal acts, it basically outlawed apartheid.
