Flirting Saudis: Women Get Flogged, Men Punished with Haircuts
Justice Carries a Pair of Scissors
Journey for a moment to the Magic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where the women get flogged for flirting and men–get a haircut?
The figure of blindfolded Justice had better not run in the Kingdom, not because she’s blindfolded, but because she now carries a pair of scissors.
It has been announced that men caught flirting publicly with the fairer sex in northern Saudi Arabia are to be punished by being given haircuts.
Prince Fahd bin Badr ordered police to administer the trims after seeing a group of men with long hair pestering female students as they left school in the town of Skaka. Many clergymen in the conservative Gulf country say men should not have long hair because Islam prohibits the sexes from emulating each other.
According to Amnesty International:
“In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia it is illegal to wear a cross necklace, read a Bible, or utter a Christian prayer in the privacy of your own home. Under the law, conversion to Christianity by Saudi citizens is a criminal offense punishable by death.”
Drug dealers are routinely beheaded.
The moral of this story: Serial flirters, when in Saudi Arabia, would find it wise to leave their cross, Bible and nickel bag at home.
