Just in time for Ramadan: Egypt introduces Sharia tourism

Shouq.jpg


This sounds like fun!

Sharia Alert from the democratic new "Arab Spring" Egypt: "Egyptian Businessmen Present: 'Sharia Tourism,'" by Elad Benari for Israel National News, July 30 (thanks to Kenneth):

In what appears to be another expression of the strengthening of Islam under the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, Channel 2 News reported on Sunday of a new initiative in Egypt which encourages “sharia tourism.”

The new project, initiated by local businessmen, is directed at the religious sector in Egypt and allows it to take a vacation which follows the rules of Islam.

Two businessmen have launched the initiative as part of a local company called Shouq Travel, and they invite vacationers to arrange their vacation according to Sharia law.

The company’s website says that those who seek a “sharia” vacation may stay in a special hotel and visit specific tourist sites. Women visitors to the sites are required to wear modest clothes and may only be accompanied by a first-degree relative.

Not a second-degree relative!

Anyway, what "specific tourist sites" will be suitable for Sharia tourists? Surely they can't visit the Pyramids or other artifacts of jahiliyya. Maybe they can take in a stoning, or an amputation. The fun never stops!

Channel 2 News noted that when visiting the company’s website, one may see photos of such vacations, including pictures of family riding a jet ski with a bearded father and a mother who is covered from head to toe....

That picture is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while - certainly since the 'Iraq day - come and celebrate the Olympic games in Iraqi style' poster I saw on the London underground this morning...

a mother who is covered from head to toe....

I bet she has no life jacket on...There is no provision in sharia that says a woman has to wear a flotation device while riding a jet ski...I looked all through Reliance of the Traveler and can find no mention of jet ski, or life jackets...It's not in the Quran either...

Oh my good God! I thought that picture was a spoof. But oh no; it's a genuine photo from the site!!!!!!!!!

These people are mentally ill.

In anycase if she were to go in the water with that lot on she is going to have big problems.

Too funny if it was not also too sad.

.''. may stay in a 'special' hotel.''.
Why, oh why did Alfred Hithcock's 'Psycho' just spring to mind ? :-/

I was just thinking of it!! but as soon as that happens, the balme game will start. the zionists and the jews!!!! were behind it!!!

Greetings:

Actually, I was thinking that vacations from sharia might be a bigger market.

Kind of reminds me of an old joke from the Bronx of my youth: First prize is an all-expense-paid week's vacation in Philadelphia. Second prize is two weeks.

These people are morons of nth degree!!

Many people thought the picture was fake. There's only one thing to say when it comes to pedohammedans:

Poe's law.

I thought the "black thing" was a high back seat for the seadoo, not a human being. I wonder if sharia tourism will involve killing Christians and burning their homes.

The Muslim woman on the jet-ski must surely be uncomfortable, but at least she is out of the house..

This is what I thought too, it must be a soft version of sharia vacation, the woman being there at all.

the woman has to be there, in case the man encounters a non muslim woman with mini skirts!

Silence, infidels! You must know that the bikini is haram. Besides, with all of the cousin-loving in Islam, our Muslimahs are as ugly as Bin Laden's donkey. We are doing you a favor by covering them up!

Maybe the poor, black, garbage-like, thing on the back of the aquatic Mo-mobile is simply being protected from the sun. It's good to be a pampered muslima under a black tent in the sun!


Holy Isadora Duncan, Batman!!

thank you david! it was an eye opening trip to say the least. the jihadist/islamists and the the trorrist Iranian government dyas are numbered. Ithis was the first time I have been back in 14 years!!!! they are done my friend. DONE! it is only a matter of short times.

Relish your optimism, mr. Glad to see you back safe and sound from the hell hole that the mullahs and their ilk have created for a once great nation. Ah, too bad Zoroastrianism ever died in Persia. A tragedy of tragedies.

The woman, and am only supposing here that it is a woman, looks like a Halloween pumpkin, ghost thingy, made of pumpkin or balloon and large garbage bag, suspended from the rafters and pulled across the room one might see in a cheap haunted house.

Glory be to the True God who does not require such a thing.

Glad you're safely back, miriam. You say:

''... the jihadist/islamists and the the trorrist Iranian government dyas are numbered. Ithis was the first time I have been back in 14 years!!!! they are done my friend. DONE! it is only a matter of short times''

I would be very interested, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, exactly *why* you think the Iranian government's days are numbered. It would be fascinating to hear from someone who has actually been there in a private capacity.

“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order.

Bat Ye’or
