Saudi Religious Police Get What They Deserve

The Saudi religious police, who patrol the kingdom enforcing religious tyranny upon the people were pepper sprayed by two people fed up with enforcement of theocracy. Story from Asharq Al-Awsat.

Members of Khobar's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were the victims of an attack by two Saudi females, Asharq Al-Awsat can reveal.

According to the head of the commission in Khobar, two girls pepper sprayed members of the commission after they had tried to offer them advice.

Head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the Eastern province Dr. Mohamed bin Marshood al-Marshood, told Asharq Al Awsat that two of the Commission's employees were verbally insulted and attacked by two inappropriately-dressed females, in the old market in Prince Bandar street, an area usually crowded with shoppers during the month of Ramadan.

According to Dr. Al-Marshood, the two commission members approached the girls in order to "politely" advise and guide them regarding their inappropriate clothing.

Consequently, the two girls started verbally abusing the commission members, which then lead to one of the girls pepper-spraying them in the face as the other girl filmed the incident on her mobile phone, while continuing to hurl insults at them.

The two girls were eventually arrested and apologized for the attack. However, it shows that some people in Saudi Arabia want nothing to do with the religious police. The vice and virtue thugs deserve this and much more.

The wonderful Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stuck in the 11th century.
