Saudi woman blasts religious police
This is a shameful act caught on some one’s Mobil phone. A
woman is being harassed in a Saudi Mall for not covering her hair and her hands
and apparently wearing nail polish. This is Saudi law in action and not an
Islamic thing, as it is not practiced in 53 of the 56 Muslim majority nations. It
is the Saudi law, Iranian law and Taliban practice (in areas where those few
dominate) and not a Muslim thing to force.
Women have choices in most nations most of the times.
However, we cannot say this is a universal truth.
Shamefully, we the men, across the globe need to ask
ourselves, if we have the laws where the men can tell the woman to shut up, how
many of the men would rejoice? Don’t look elsewhere, nearly a fourth of our own
population in America; the men who are going through bitter divorce may love
it.
If you are one of them, how different you are from the Saudi
religious police, or from those who believe the place of a woman is kitchen and
raise children.
Sadistic men are everywhere.
I hope the Saudi Government wakes up and stops this
non-sense and abuses of human rights. I hope more women speak up!
I hope the gandoo (gutless) men, ungandoo themselves and
speak up instead of walking away when a woman or any one is harassed and
oppressed.
It is irritating that an ordinary woman had to defend
herself. I would like to go sit in a mall and record all of this non-sense on a
hidden camera...
Hold it, no one is free from this evil, the sadistic few among
Jews have spat on women for not covering their hair in Israel this year 2012. The
sadistic few among Hindus have vandalized the girls on Valentine’s Day in
India… the sadistic few among Muslims in Afghanistan also beat women for not
wearing the Hijab…and on the other hand the sadistic few among Americans chase
women out of a social setting by staring at their bodies … Damn it, women get
chased for wearing full clothes and for wearing least clothes, the girls who
dare, do risk harassment whether they are in full clothes or the least clothes.
The Talibans dictate women to cover up, the French and
others dictate women not to cover up. Who the hell are these men to tell others
what to wear?
I wish a fictional government emerges somewhere, where women
rule. In that government, the liberal women will pass laws banning men from wearing
suits and full clothing and encourage men to wear fig leaves. The conservative
women have the men whipped for not covering other parts of the body.
I would also want to imagine, where the majority of men and women, take up the issue in the ballot and approve live and let live laws. Let men and women wear, eat, drink and believe what suits them as long as they are not hurting anyone measurably.

All of us need to speak up and seek a society where a woman
can go anywhere, any time of the day without fear of the other. Indeed, I have heard two men talk about it –
The 2nd one was Shri C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor-General of India and
the first one was Prophet Muhammad, both of them had said similar things. While
Jesus, Moses, Krishna and others worked on building safe societies. The prophet
had said he envisions a civil society where a single woman laden with jewelry can
travel to Damascus and return back to Madinah without ever fearing or being
harassed by one.
We
all need to aspire for such a society, where every individual member of a
society feels safe.
Please note, at the end I saw MEMRI.TV logo, and
I thank them for highlighting this event, even though their intention is not
good.
