Here is the reality behind the hype about Saudi Arabia’s “modernization.”
“Man arrested after breakfast with woman in Saudi Arabia,” by Tom Gerken and Rana Taha, BBC, September 10, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
An Egyptian man in Saudi Arabia has been arrested after a video of him having breakfast with a woman went viral on Twitter.
In the video, a man with an Egyptian dialect eats breakfast beside a woman wearing a full face veil, who many assumed to be Saudi.
This is in contravention of the law in Saudi Arabia, where in workplaces or eateries like McDonald’s and Starbucks, families and single men have to sit in different areas.
Women must sit separately from single men in these places.
They are not allowed to carry out most activities without being accompanied by their male guardians, usually a father or husband, but possibly a brother or a son.
The man was arrested by the Saudi Ministry of Labour and Social Development, who accused him of “committing several violations and taking up a post exclusively reserved for Saudis”.
The Arabic hashtag “an Egyptian having breakfast with a Saudi” has been used over 113,000 times on Twitter, where it has become the centre of a cultural divide.
In the 30-second video, the man and woman briefly joke about eating their breakfast together, with nobody else invited.
But the point which has caused the most consternation comes at the end of the video, when the woman appears to feed the man.
Many Saudis on social media were highly critical of both the man and the woman, with the majority of people wondering why the man was punished instead of the woman.
“I need to understand why men are constantly punished and not women,” said Twitter user Malak. “I am a Saudi [woman] and I swear I want them to punish her with him. Laughter, eating at the workplace… where are your limits?”…

Oh, my gosh. SA. LOL. Islam is nuts!!!
Andy says
My wife and I both hold hands in public and we make a point of stopping and having a kiss in front of a muslim because we know how taboo it is in Islam.
The idiodyssey of Islam has to end.

I saw this comment by Dominic Riti

They’re not happy in Gaza .. They’re not happy in Egypt .. They’re not happy in Libya .. They’re not happy in Morocco .. They’re not happy in Iran .. They’re not happy in Iraq .. They’re not happy in Yemen .. They’re not happy in Afghanistan .. They’re not happy in Pakistan .. They’re not happy in Syria .. They’re not happy in Lebanon .. They’re not happy in Malaysia.. They’re not happy in Indonesia..
SO, WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY?
They’re happy in Australia . They’re happy in Canada . They’re happy in England .. They’re happy in France ..They’re happy in Ireland… They’re happy in Italy .. They’re happy in Germany .. They’re happy in Sweden .. They’re happy in the USA .. They’re happy in Norway .. They’re happy in Holland . They’re happy in Denmark . Basically, they’re happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!
AND WHO DO THEY BLAME?
Not Islam. Not their leadership. Not themselves.
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN! AND THEN;
They want to change those countries to be like. THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!

Muslims are only happy when they are able to make non-Muslims unhappy.
When the number of non-Muslims in a country diminishes, it causes a shortage of non-Muslims to make unhappy.
The Muslims then again become unhappy.

God help the Iranian people to break free!

ex-muslim, kudos to you for being brave and principled enough to leave that vicious creed.
fudge says
I’m a christian and i don’t preach about Jesus only to muslims, they are not happy then.
J D S says
What can I say…..More stupidity in islam. Do they not know that they are doing exactly what SATAN wants them to do?…. Well maybe THEY “REALLY” DO KNOW.
Bindon Blood says
Totally crazy. Strangely when a woman asked advice of Muhammad about how she could see a male friend alone without infuriating her husband ,Muhammad recommended that she “ breast feed “ the man thereby making him a relation. So this man was allowed to suck the woman’s breasts and the husband was perfectly reconciled, Totally crazy.
Bev says
Saudi Arabia and most Islamic countries included, treat women like they are pets. And they don’t want any other men to look at or sit with their pet(s). Stupid on steroids.
Richard says
Andy, you make a brilliant point. That is human nature, however. In the same way in America, liberals leave liberal states because they hate the taxes. Then they move to conservative states and start pushing for all the social services the liberal states have, which raise taxes in the conservative states. And now we can honestly add that the liberals moving to conservative states have started trying to kill conservatives.

Bev, most pets in the West are treated better than women in Islam. I know mine are.
J D S says
No Beg…they actually DON’T treat women as pets… Pets DO have some freedoms but in Islam women don’t.
Bindon Blood says
I would not treat my dog the way Muslim men treat women. They are treated like slaves.
CogitoErgoSum says
The woman fed the man? What did she feed him? If she had breastfed him at least five times before this, what is the problem? I guess there’s no video to confirm that though.

I was thinking just the same, CogitoErgoSum.

Good God. Laughter? Eating at the workplace? Signs of normal life? Straight to hell in a hand basket.

Grimly hilarious, Hugh.

Hey left! Hey libbers! Still love Muslims? Is this what you want to bring to my country?

Stand by for a comment on this from Linda Sarsour………………………..or not.
cheryl s. says
Well, so much for Islam moving into the 21st Century in Saudi Arabia!
They want their people, especially the women, repressed, subdued, restrained, living in fear and utterly controlled.
Islam, not a religion but a violent, bloody, war mongering ideology.
So, the idea of it moving into the 21st Century?
NEVER HAPPEN!
CogitoErgoSum says
Islam is timeless.
imboonga says
Oh, Heaven forbid. What are the limits!?
Krishna says
Amazing gender segeration in Islam
Even casual talk between man and woman cuases so much problem in Islamic world

Is it true that a certain Burger franchise will offer an “Un-happy meal” in Saudi Arabia?
A “death to America” Cheeseburger with a side order of French infidel Fries,Wahhabi sauce and Great shaitan Kola
“I see you have ordered the unhappy meal…have a miserable Soddy day”

Saudi Arabia: Man arrested for having breakfast with a woman
………………..
What could be more “modern” than this? sarc/off
Sounds like this poor guy lost his job–and not just because he dared break bread with a woman, but because it is “a post exclusively reserved for Saudis”…
Leon Degney says
Do we know it was “really” a woman under the garb? To me it is obvious why they arrested the man, it’s because they weren’t able to identify the other party because of said garb, and because of it arrested the man.
pumbar says
I bet Sting will now re release his hit, ‘I’m an Egyptian in Saudi’, he might even get back together with his band the virtue police to do some of their old hits:
Roxanne, you don’t have to put on that head bag
Every jizya you take
Every little thing she does is halal
Worshipping the moon
De do do do De Dar es salaam
Wrapped around your barrier
Can’t stand losing you (apostasy remix)
And many more.

…………………………
Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains the insanity and humiliation her mother suffered in Saudi Arabia after her father abandoned them. She had to rely on her spoiled 10-year-old son to serve as her “guardian” whenever she left the house. Ali says that often her brother would ignore her calls for him to come in from play when she had to go somewhere, sometimes trapping her and the girls in the house for days. He usually only relented when they started to run out of food. How insane is that?

Yeah, because wife beating and “Honor Killing” are not punishments enough…

More proof that there is no fun or joy–even of the most basic kind–in Islam.
Jayell says
Sorry to be a bit off-topic, but there’s a really priceless video in today’s (13 September) UK Daily Mail of four Saudi muslimas in their full regalia having something of a physical argument on a roadside. No one wopuld want breakfast with this lot! Sorry, don’t know how to do the link.
gravenimage says
Jayell, that video is here:
https://sputniknews.com/viral/201809121067980108-Five-Saudi-Women-Brawl-Drop-Child/
Normal people would consider the worst thing to be the woman who drops her toddler several times onto the concrete in the fight–Muslims would consider the worst thing to be that one of the women has her Niqab dislodged in the melee.
And Jayell, if you want to copy a link, just do CTRL-L (that marks the link in the header), then CTRL-C (that copies the link). Then, when commenting here, you do CTRL-V (that puts the link in your post).

All Muslims need their passes addled. No exceptions.
abu taleb says
But Saudis can rape and torture their Indonesian housemaid without being punished courtesy of the religion of peace because Quran says it needs 4 people (men) as witnesses.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Edward Dillon says
The Saudis claim to be our friends, is bull shit. Their claim as an ally is only good for as long as it serves their needs. Can’t trust Muslims.
European pagan says
In Saudi Arabia everything is forbidden.
