Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine's day by arresting 140 people and banning red flowers. - Polidicks

[url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-15/saudi-heart-breakers/3830624[/url] [quote]Saudi Arabia's religious police have arrested more than 140 people for celebrating Valentine's Day. The Organisation for Promoting Virtue and Discouraging Evil says officers have punished those caught so far, and that its campaign of arrests is continuing. In a six-page statement, the religious police said they were saving women from "deceiving men", who used the day to give the fake impression that they loved a woman while pretending to be a "harmless lamb". The religious authorities say Muslims who take part in Valentine's Day are in fact weak, lacking imagination, and far removed from the "sublime and virtuous" objectives of their religion. The organisation has also confiscated all red roses from shops. [/quote]

Sandy Balls.

140? On the 14th of february? Is it just me or they made their own version of valentine's day? :v:

I lived in Saudi Arabia. It's a shithole where 'morality police' enforcing Wahhabi Islam terrorize anyone who doesn't have enough money to be above the law.

Just the phrase "religious police" makes me feel uneasy.

almost sounds like satire saudi arabia is so fucking backwards man

This isn't normal, but on Love, it is. Love, not even once.

I love my country so much. :v:

Saudi Arabia logic: If Rabbit + Red Flower = Insane Killing Machine, then Human + Red Flower = Crazier Killing Machine.

Why is it the state's responsibility if anyone uses Valentine's day to get laid? :v:

Saudi is a terrible country. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia[/url]

The Organisation for Promoting Virtue and Discouraging Evil Sounds like something from a 5th graders novel.

and in other news 2000 people were arrested for feeling emotion god bless the religious thought police of saudi arabia

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;34703430]Why is it the state's responsibility if anyone uses Valentine's day to get laid? :v:[/QUOTE]By the way they put it, their statement could also be read as "It is impossible for a man to genuinely love a woman." Not sure which one it is, really. They're both a special strain of crazy.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;34705029]The Organisation for Promoting Virtue and Discouraging Evil Sounds like something from a 5th graders novel.[/QUOTE] Sounds like a really shitty attempt at knocking off George Orwell. 150 people were arrested by the Office of Totally Not Evil Guys Against Evil And In Favor of Cute Puppies.

This is gross.

The Arabian government is actually just Blofeld and a bunch of other Bond villians.

[QUOTE=gamerman345;34703576]...[/QUOTE] That's what happens when you mix Religion and Politics, you get very horrible things that are referred to as something good. Just like justified murder of burning witches at the stake.

Oh religion. Get out of politics. While religion as a way to teach people the values of life and respect towards others is great, using it in politics is just. Stupid. Ungodly stupid even.

"You're under arrest... happy Valentines by the way."
