Saudi Woman Strip-Searched For Having Coffee With A Man
Saudi Arabia's religious police detained and strip-searched a woman for sitting in a Starbucks coffee shop with a male work colleague, who is not a member of her family.The 40-year-old financial consultant, named only as Yara, told the paper she was arrested on Monday by members of the powerful Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. She was holding a business meeting with the man in a branch of Starbucks in Riyadh, in a section reserved for families as is the rule in Saudi Arabia where unrelated members of the opposite sex are segregated in public, she was quoted as saying by the Arab News.
Yara said she was taken to a Riyadh prison, strip-searched and forced to sign a confession to having been caught alone with a unrelated man — an illegal act in the kingdom, which enforces a strict Islamic moral code.
“I had no other choice,” but to sign, said the married mother of three. “I was scared for my life... I was afraid that they would abuse me or do something to me.” (DNA)
***** While we are not exactly there yet, our government is sure trying very hard. With the current 'halal-isation' of Malaysia showing no sign of retreat, it won't be too long before we take our rightful place in the gallery of Islamic 'super-achievers'.

But why did they need to strip-search her? What were they hoping to find?
our RELA members have already outdone the wahabbis in Saudi long time ago.
anyone remember the malay "gros" who were striped search and detained by the police/rela? One malay girl was forced to pee in public and the RELA emmbers even took pictures!
Malaysia Mmg Boleh. I always wonder what dept is RELA under...
Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice
i love the name...it's so virtuous to grab a woman have a business meeting and then strip search her. what's the vice here? did they mean the Commission for the Promotion of Vice and Prevention of Virtue?
;)
What were they hoping to find?
I thiink they were looking for the man's fingerprints on the woman's body
These camel-fucking bedouins are nuts....
They are nuts? Yup. However, don't forget we are going down the same path also.
Look at our RELA guys!
By the way, dear PM has asked us all to be tolerant. So we have to allow these perverts to do what they want because we are tolerant!
It is still reasonable if the woman was merely retained in a conservative country like Saudi. Am I right to say this?
"I thiink they were looking for the man's fingerprints on the woman's body."
Ha ha ha. I think so. I wondered if they looked to see if she has been fingered recently. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.
