Saudi Arabia: Women with "seditious eyes" must cover up

niqab.jpgSeditious?


No, this isn't from the Onion. Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: "Women with 'seditious' eyes must cover up," from Emirates 247.com, November 14 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Women unveiling their eyes in public in Saudi Arabia will be forced to fully cover up their faces if their eyes are found to be seditious, according to the Gulf Kingdom's most feared Islamic law-enforcement group.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice was reacting to last week's fight between one its members and a Saudi husband, who was maddened by the man's orders to his wife to cover up her face, the Saudi Arabic language daily Alwatan reported on Sunday.

Police are still investigating the incident, in which the husband was stabbed in the back during the fight in the southern province of Hael.

"The Commission members have orders to tell any women in public to cover up her face if they find that her eyes are seditious," the paper said, quoting Sheikh Mutlaq Al Nabit, a Commission spokesman in Hael.

Women in Saudi Arabia, one of the most conservative Muslim nations, must veil their faces in public but some of them uncover their eyes.

Nabit did not explain how the Commission members determine that a woman's eyes are seditious.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. *sigh*

Hmmm..... Not even George Orwell came up with something thus uh, er.. hmmm... Orwellian. How's that for circular logic?

Come to think of it, the self-censorship of newspapers not publishing cartoons of Mohamsandwich or a certain elite university not publishing cartoons in a monograph on the subject sounds like perhaps they're uh... er... taking cues from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice! (Or perhaps the Obama administration, ha ha ha.)

You mean they won't simply gouge out those eyes? Wow-how nice of them.

"Nabit did not explain how the Commission members determine that a woman's eyes are seditious."

That is easy...She is a Muslim woman and she has eyes exposed...

Simple solution, free advice from duh_swami, just wear sunglasses...The mirror type, then no one can see your eyes or what you are looking at...Of course in SA there may be a law against seditious sunglasses, so check with the local religious police first...

"seditious" eyes" ?? I wonder if they meant seductive eyes and got their English wrong !!

So now it is cover up their seditious eyes? Well I guess guide dogs are not an option, so that leaves a totally closed bag over the head and a white cane?

Sounds like they goats and donkeys are getting jealous again!

This is not the command of a deranged individual, a "misunderstander". This is LAW in a major Muslim nation. Where is the MSM? Shouldn't they be covering this story?

No, this one defies any effort at apologetic spin, so it's better to see no evil, hear no evil.

Yes, but the problem now is that some of them MOVE in seditious ways. The way some of them sway their burkas when they walk is too alluring. A team of top Saudi Imams are considering their next move.

One would think that the Vice and Virtue Police would want these seditious-eyed women to leave their faces UNcovered: it makes them easier to recognize and arrest.

Actually, I would guess that they meant "seductive", and it got mis-translated. That happens a lot with Arabic: the Koran always seems to be poorly translated.

"Actually, I would guess that they meant "seductive", and it got mis-translated. That happens a lot with Arabic: the Koran always seems to be poorly translated."

My guess is that the two are considered to be synonymous. After all, anything that might "tempt" a man is a crime against Islam and so becomes a crime against the Islamic state. If the eyes of a woman can lure a man into sin then her eyes are practically treasonous.

In the mind of a mullah, not everything that is seditious is considered seductive but anything that is seductive is also seditious in the extreme.

................................

No—but I'm sure, as with all of Shari'ah law—that it will be an entirely objective process...sarc/off

seditious definition: serving or tending to provoke, excite, or stimulate; stimulating discussion or exciting controversy or look.
so a woman with beautful eyes thats makes the koranimals look with lust is enough for the islamic thought police to force her to cover up those eyes.
However what will they do with thre girlish figure that may become accidently evident? make her wear a barrel?

SEDITION
Conduct which is directed against a government and which tends toward insurrection but does not amount to treason. Treasonous conduct consists of levying war against ....... or of adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

The eyes have it.

these muslims men are such cowards and weenies! they kill by ambush of unarmed civilians, and hide among their women and children, and then cannot control themselves with the sight of women around them. what a bunch of pathetic humans, lower than low! give me a cowboy anytime! LOL

Muslim men have such a hatred for women, maybe the West should take ALL of the females from Muslim countries, let the Muslim men stay where they are. Win-win! In a very short number of years the problem will correct itself.

The goalposts are always changing for Muslim women. Once they all covered up and their bodies so draped in restrictive fabric that their gait changes and becomes awkward and slow, ther is no doubt that Muslim men will find such a gait maddeningly sexy, and a solution will have to be found for that as well.
Putting one foot in front of the other and placing it on the ground in order to move forward? Unbearable! Seditious!

Oh dear...not concentrating. Sorry about the mistakes.
Once they ARE all covered up...
THERE is no doubt...

I think Obama has seditious eyes.

I can't even try to imaging how horrible it must be to be imprisoned in that black bundle of hate..

"Nabit did not explain how the Commission members determine that a woman's eyes are seditious."

That's easy. If she got bette davis eyes she must definitely be seditious and dangerous undermining the virtue in Saudi Arabia:

She’ll turn her music on you
You won’t have to think twice
She’s pure as new york snow
She got bette davis eyes

And she’ll tease you
She’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious
And she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got greta garbo stand off sighs
She’s got bette davis eyes

She’ll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She’ll lay you on her throne
She got bette davis eyes

She’ll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She’s got bette davis eyes

She’ll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She’s ferocious
And she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy
She’s got bette davis eyes

ROTFL! I think there is a lot of seditious stuff about Obama, and I don't mean alluring.

-----------------------------------------------------

Regarding the part of the article where it relates how one man was stabbed in the back in the fight.....that is classic muslim fighting style. Sneak attacks by men who are too cowardly to fight someone their own size face-to-face.

What a despicable bunch of human detritus they are!

Nabit did not explain how the Commission members determine that a woman's eyes are seditious.

It's exactly the same as how the villagers in Monty Python and the Holy Grail tell she's a witch. She looks like one.

Job done.

The real truth is that Muslim women are generally so ugly and fat that they "must" be covered up (eyes and all) least they scare people...and these Muslim men think we lust after their women(LOL)?!

Have moslem men so little self control that they dare not even see a woman's face. What weak, pathetic excuses for men they are.

They cannot control themselves and always blame the women.

How can anybody respect men who do that.

Nothing like a pair of sunglasses to make muslim women look even more ridiculous.
