“We demand a trial for the model Khulood.”
These are the priorities of Saudi authorities. Not fighting against the jihad terror ideology — they have spent billions to spread that around the world. Imagine a world in which this video is controversial. Then recall that if you oppose Sharia in the U.S., you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“Saudi Police Arrest Woman Who Wore Miniskirt in Online Video,” by Russell Goldman, New York Times, July 18, 2017:
The police in Saudi Arabia arrested a woman on Tuesday who appeared in a video posted online in which she wears a miniskirt and crop top, exposing her legs and midriff in violation of the country’s strict dress code for women.
The video of the woman, identified online only as Khulood, prompted a debate on social media soon after it was uploaded to Snapchat over the weekend. It was rapidly shared across the internet by people who supported her display and — perhaps more interesting — by those who opposed it, resulting in an official investigation.
The police in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, turned her over to the public prosecutor’s office, the kingdom’s state-run Alekhbariya television reported on its Twitter feed, using an Arabic hashtag that translates to “We demand a trial for the model Khulood.”
In the short clip, filmed mostly from behind, the woman is shown walking through the ruins of an ancient fort in Ushaiager, a town in Najd Province. Najd is the birthplace of the country’s ultraconservative Wahhabi religious movement.
In response to calls for the woman’s arrest, the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice wrote on Twitter on Monday that it had “intercepted a clip of a girl in inappropriate clothing” and had opened an investigation with the “relevant authorities.”
Saudi law imposes stringent rules on women’s appearance and behavior. Saudi women are required to wear a black garment, called an abaya, that covers everything but the face, feet and hands. They must also keep their heads covered, and they are not permitted to drive or to socialize with men who are not related to them.
An unidentified spokesman for the Riyadh police cited by the Saudi online news site Sabq said the woman had told the police that she visited the site in Ushaiager with her legal guardian — a male relative, usually a father or husband, but sometimes a brother or son, who has the legal authority to control a woman’s movements — and that the video had been put online without her knowledge.
The video, and the debate on social media that followed, exposed a rift below the country’s tightly policed surface.
Some people on Twitter called the woman brave and accused Saudi Arabia of hypocrisy for often celebrating the beauty of foreign women while denigrating that of its own citizens.
One, Fatima al-Issa, wrote as she shared the clip on Twitter: “If she were a foreigner, they would sing about the beauty of her waist and the enchantment of her eyes. But because she is Saudi they are calling for her arrest.”…

They can’t allow this. It would destroy their patriarchy. Women must be kept in strict control. Allah made them for their pleasure. They have no right to a life of their own. This woman is challenging their authority, and she must be made an example of. She will receive 50 lashes in a public humiliation, and feel lucky she wasn’t stoned to death.

Perhaps Linda Sarsour will change places with the young hijabless woman.
t. says
She should! Why she still lives in the US, extolling the virtues of Sharia and defending ferociously Islam, while she doesn’t want to go and live in a place, perfectly suited for her like SA?
p says
hope she got her clitorectimy. She does not need to feel pleasure, only rage and hate

Sad to say
They will want to kill her….
Enoch was right says
Where are the feminists of the West now? Silent, as usual, when it comes to real violations of women’s rights — and extremely vocal and shrill when it comes to taking down the West and emasculating “white males.” They manufacture a fake “rape culture” on college campuses, but say nothing when it comes to a real rape culture, such as occurs in many Islamic theocracies. And these same Western feminists applaud Linda Sarsour when she calls for sharia law. They should all be taken to Pakistan, Somalia, etc. That would be a huge wake-up call.
More Ham Ed says
If someone is going to do a video like this, they should remain completely anonymous and not show their face etc. in order to KEEP THE SAUDIS BUSY searching for who-done-it. Cooking bacon, pork chops, sausage, and smoked ham over a pile of burning ko ‘rans would be the perfect video, if I only had the time and SECURITY DETAIL to pull it off.

Hey, Saudi Arabia., Come on you must be kidding. Get with it, will you. Let the poor girl go. Here take a look.

The girl in the video is very pretty. It’s hard to imagine any attractive women coming out of Saudi Arabia. They are always covered from head to toe.
I thank God every day that I am an American. I can dress as I please. I cannot imagine the government telling me that I am not allowed to wear a miniskirt!
t. says
Well Katnis, your government is working on it, making sure that Sharia will also cover the US in the near future!
Few days ago, the house voted down a bill aiming to study the basis in Islam’s doctrines that terrorists use as a support for their actions.

t.says are you aware that Hillary told the OIC in a speech that she could not implement US laws criminalizing Mohammadan blasphemy (because of the First Amendment), but that she could prevent it (and thus violate the spirit of the First Amendment) from happening by using shaming and peer pressure?

Ha, the receptionist at an office I dealt with was Saudi.
I assure all that she was drop-dead gorgeous and seemed quite keen on dressing to make up for lost time.

Saudi police arrest woman for wearing miniskirt in online video
………………………
Wearing miniskirts, appearing in public without an Abaya, women driving a car, and “witchcraft” are crimes in Saudi Arabia.
Beating your wives and raping Infidel workers, not so much…
t says
Not “not so much” but not at all, being practiced by those who follow the true teachings of Islam.

I know, t. I was using “not so much” ironically.

One wonders when Saudi women will have had enough of their medieval nightmare and rise up en masse.
Women are 60% of university grads in KSA and they own 60% of money in their banks. Women could use their clout to force reforms in KSA.
It’s a matter of time before Saudi slave women say ‘Enough!’
somehistory says
Of course they are after her…this is the biggest problem in the world…the worst crime possible…nothing more serious than a woman wearing a short skirt.
This just shows how twisted is their…well, what would normally be called *thinking*…
Knives and bombs and rape of small children…all unimportant to them while they chase this woman in a short skirt.
Guy Forester says
I have worked in that part of the world, and I can assure you that the Arabs, regardless of origin, are not much different from the rest of the world in most places. Some very handsome men that Western women swoon over. Some truly beautiful women that you would think are models. Then, as expected, some look better covered in said abaya.
However, I was there over 20 years ago and there were still some enclaves that were geographically isolated, and some of the smaller clans were obviously too closely related to each other.
That being said, the authorities in the more conservative areas like the KSA make it a point to come down hard on those that flaunt and disregard the usual rules, except for the royals and their wealthy supporters. They get all of the drugs, alcohol, and other forbidden pleasures denied all others. Not sure about the bacon though, although I suspect that goes by the wayside when they are out of the homeland and into the west. A very poorly kept secret, well known to most people.

Ridicolous and shameful act from a despotic anti-democratic state

Oh no! Oh no! Someone saw this woman’s knees. They will go blind. She must be killed before she sends the SA men into a sexual frenzy. No goat or camel will be safe.
