Saudi Morality Police to really crack down


iconReuters notes that Saudi Arabian pleasure police will be out in full force this holiday season, making sure people don't have too much fun.

Morality police in southern Saudi Arabia plan to conduct raids to ensure that shops do not sell flowers, candles and gifts to those planning to celebrate New Year, a local newspaper reported on Monday. [...]

Answerable only to King Fahd and separate from ordinary police, members of the authority patrol the streets with police escort, ensuring that their strict interpretation of Islamic customs are upheld.

Doesn't that just sound lovely. How long before the activists that are anti-religion, anti-smoking, anti-fast food, anti-SUV, anti-drinking, anti-patriotism, and in favor of harsher penalties for hate crimes thought crimes enact such an organization in our country?

The Saudi's figure prominently in the Christmas poem _Tweeze Denied_ (for which google)

Iwis tressed woolen furze promise etuis food,
Anus closed whorled varnished wood asses in suits.
Abound olived oils (egad!) flunk honor speck,
Any luck lockup addler chest (hope?) nimbus peck.

Assai Saudi twin calloused temples amore!
Exchequer lachryosis, whizz snows locket jury.
Estrual litter mouse wash thrown applique beau,
Amdahl biered honest Genesis weight hostess know.

(he was dressed all in furs... etc.)
