'Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice'

I can't see a society benefitting in any way from an organization such as this.

The fanatic Islam police will probable take them into a private cell and whip them and rape them and have a circle jerk , to teach them a lesson.
All in the name of Islam!!!

I lived in Saudi for a while. Anything at all that is usually considered fun is banned. Not a place to go breaking the law, especially if you're a foreigner. Saudi, as the homeland of Mecca (Islam's most holy place) sees itself as the guardian of the faith and is therefore much more conservative than most Islamic countries. The law there is not liberal and these women know that. Be cautious people when judging the laws of other countries. Whether the law makes sense to us and our western values or not, they are still the laws of a sovereign state and should be complied with. Reminds me of the chewing gum rule in Singapore. Seems harmless by our values to chew gum, but it is frowned upon in Singapore and the stuff is officially banned.

Dude, it's not so much the whole Islam thing. The problem is Saudi Arabia. It's the Muslim equivalent of fucking Montana & the nuke bunker living Christian whackjobs. The US should invaide and just play My Chemical Romance CD's on "repeat" until we drive the mutherfuckers insane.

Read, The Kingdom by Robert Lacey. It'll explain the why of Saudi Arabia. Abd al-Aziz or Ibn Saud if you prefer would not have been able to create Saudi Arabia without the support of Muslim whackjobs and to a large degree the Saud family still holds on to power because of them.
They say he created Saudi Arabia with " sword of steel and a sword of flesh." He married 300 women and had 45 recognized sons by 22 wives, the Wahabis provided the sword of steel.
