In the world center of jihad ideology, our friends the Saudis are taking steps to fight an epidemic of crime: Saudi men arrested for ‘flirting’.
Prosecutors in Saudi Arabia have begun investigating 57 young men who were arrested on Thursday for flirting with girls at shopping centres in Mecca.
The men are accused of wearing indecent clothes, playing loud music and dancing in order to attract the attention of girls, the Saudi Gazette reported.
They were arrested following a request of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
The mutaween enforce Saudi Arabia’s conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism.
Notice that the BBC is using “conservative” here as a synonym for “medieval.”
