Dept of Outrage Once again our Saudi allies show their true colors
Firefighters told the Saudi press that morality police forced girls to stay inside the burning building because they were not wearing the head scarves and black cloaks known as abayas that women must wear in public in that kingdom. One Saudi paper said the morality police stopped men who tried to help the girls escape the building, saying, "It is sinful to approach them."Girls died because zealots at the gate would rather see them burn than appear in public dressed inappropriately.
And the difference between the mutawwai'in and the Taliban is what?
