Just another Honour killing

(Saudi Arabia) A few years ago there was a fire inside a girls school in Saudi Arabia, so doing as you are taught around the world (think Kindergarten Cop), the girls proceeded to leave the building. Problem was, some of the girls hadn’t bothered to cover up, and so when the Saudi morality police turned up and found the girls outside free for all the world to see, they sent them back into the blazing building in which to find their body coverings so as to protect mankind from their soul sapping beauty. Anyway, 15 dead children later, the shit hit the fan over at Mutaween HQ.

Well, so the Saudi media told us.

This week 2 girls were arrested and placed in a woman’s shelter when the Mutaween found them guilty of mixing with unrelated men. Problem was, they told their parents, and when Reem, 21, and Nouf, 19, left the shelter on July 5th so as to be taken home by their family, their younger brother shot them both dead in the presence of their father, who promptly forgave his son.

I’m sure the Saudi media will string out some story about how it was the girls who are at fault here.

Oh for the love of Allah.
