In Saudia Arabia, Muslim Woman Charged With Being "Blatantly Anti-Muslim"

It's a three-act drama. Starts with a problem, the problem escalates, then the villain gets the shit beaten out of him by a girl and they have a happy ending.

Although I don't know about the last part, alas.

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.

“To see resistance from a woman means a lot,” Wajiha Al-Huwaidar, a Saudi women’s rights activist, told The Media Line news agency. “People are fed up with these religious police, and now they have to pay the price for the humiliation they put people through for years and years. This is just the beginning and there will be more resistance.”

CAIR put out a statement calling the Muslim woman a "deranged anti-Muslim whore."

And then, thinking about it, CAIR put out a statement denouncing itself as "blatantly anti-Muslim."

You know, I think, seriously, if you're pro-life and anti-murder, you're currently, in our non-elite elites' telling, "blatantly anti-Muslim."

Thanks to Kratos, picking his nose on Mount Olympus.
