Saudi Arabia has something called the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, and is, no doubt, the envy of our own, religious lunatics. What it amounts to is a bunch of guys, with official sanction, wandering around enforcing that country's draconian laws regarding women. Well, it seems that the times they might be a'changin' -- some chick just kicked the living shit out of one of these misogynist assholes!



It was a scene Saudi women’s rights activists have dreamt of for years.

When a Saudi religious policeman sauntered about an amusement park in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Al-Mubarraz looking for unmarried couples illegally socializing, he probably wasn’t expecting much opposition.

But when he approached a young, 20-something couple meandering through the park together, he received an unprecedented whooping.

A member of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the Saudi religious police known locally as the Hai’a, asked the couple to confirm their identities and relationship to one another, as it is a crime in Saudi Arabia for unmarried men and women to mix.

For unknown reasons, the young man collapsed upon being questioned by the cop.

According to the Saudi daily Okaz, the woman then allegedly laid into the religious policeman, punching him repeatedly, and leaving him to be taken to the hospital with bruises across his body and face.

The young lady put the vice cop in hospital, no less! Well done, m'dear, although I fear the consequences might be extreme, as they usually are in that Islamic shithole. I wonder what our home-grown Taliban, the Christian one, thinks of all this. I wonder if they'll tell us with thunderous ravings from their various pulpits. Or will they wisely keep their collective gob shut lest some little girl shuts it for them.

If the two of them get out of this alive, I'd highly recommend to the young man that he marry that young woman. She's definitely a keeper!

They'll probably end up having their heads chopped off in public.

Because our good friends in SA roll old school. They love them some public beheadings.

Saw a video of one once, usually takes the guy with the sword 4 or 5 chops to get the head all the way off.
