POPSWoman Jailed For Drinking Coffee With Man; Can That Happen Here?
The men were from Saudi Arabia's Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, a police force of several thousand men charged with enforcing dress codes, sex segregation and the observance of prayers. Yara, whose parents are Jordanian and grew up in Salt Lake City, once believed that life in Saudi Arabia was becoming more liberal. But on Monday the religious police took her mobile phone, pushed her into a cab and drove her to Malaz prison in Riyadh. She was interrogated, strip-searched and forced to sign and fingerprint a series of confessions pleading guilty to her “crime”. “They took me into a filthy bathroom, full of water and dirt. They made me take off my clothes and squat and they threw my clothes in this slush and made me put them back on,” she said. Eventually she was taken before a judge. “He said 'You are sinful and you are going to burn in hell'. I told him I was sorry. I was very submissive. I had given up. I felt hopeless,” she said.

POPSSaudi girl crowned Miss Moral Beauty This is absolutely nuts. So let me get this straight, those who did not win this competition and those who don't cover their face qualify for the title of miss immoral ugliness? How is participating in a beauty pageant represents modesty or morality and why add to social pressures of labeling or shaming. You can never judge inner beauty through interviews or how you are viewed in society. Arabs needs to have their heads examined.

POPS Saudi Judge Approves of Men Slapping Their Wives In 2004 on Qatar television, a Muslim cleric declared the Quran to be an instructional book on how Muslim men should discipline their wives. "He said: We must know that beating is a punishment in Islamic religious law. No one should deny this because this was permitted by the Creator of Man, and because when you purchase an electric appliance or a car you get instructions--a catalogue, explaining how to use it. The Creator of Man has sent down this book in order to show which ways he must choose." He went on to explain that there are three types of women who must be beaten. " 'and beat them.' This verse is of a wondrous nature. There are three types of women with whom a man cannot live unless he carries a rod on his shoulder.

POPSSaudi Judge: It's OK To Slap Wife! Al-Razine "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country," it added. Another Saudi judge, in the city of Onaiza, was the source of a separate recent controversy: he twice denied a request from the mother of an 8-year-old girl that the girl be granted a divorce from her 47-year-old husband. Got to love that...NOT!

POPSSlap your wife if she splashes the cash: judge We can all quote examples of judges from our own countries saying, or doing, equally stupid things. Why are judges around the world so consistently unaware of the real world? And it isn't because they have to read a lot about law. If they did that they wouldn't be so out of touch.

POPSIraqi mom ridicules cops over suicide bombings Her interrogator confronts her about a letter the Iraqi police say they uncovered on the raid on her home. The letter is addressed to "Umm Omar" from the local al Qaeda emir Abu Dawood. "Good news for you my sister, Umm Omar," it says. "Your sister Fatima became a martyr after an operation in Mafraq district, and God enabled her to carry out this blessed operation. "Know that she did not hesitate in confronting the infidels and tyranny. We pray to God that you follow her in God's course. We inform you, Umm Omar, that this letter is very confidential." Umm Omar shrugs it off. "I cannot read, so why would he send this to me?" She goes by the name of Umm Omar. In the Middle East, Umm -- means mother -- followed by the eldest son's name, in her case Omar. She says the Umm Omar reference could be just about any woman in Iraq. Her profile fits that of other women who have carried out suicide attacks.
