Religious police in Saudi Arabia arrest mother for sitting with a man

But in Saudi Arabia, public contact between unrelated men and women is strictly prohibited.
When in Rome,Do as the Romans Do.
Anyone who has lived overseas in another Country knows,You are not in your own backyard.Your in a diffrent place with diffrent rules and ways of life.She cant expect to go to japan and drive on the right side of the road,just cause we do it here.Customs are diffrent and so are the people and their views.
I think what happened to her was Harsh,but at the same time.......
...The middle east is still on the brink of change,Best thing to do is play it safe and do things the way the locals do.

I totally understand what you're saying. I recently read a news article where a woman in Saudi Arabia got raped by 3 men and then she got 3 years of prison and the men only got 1. The sentence: she was riding in a car with a man that wasn't related to her! :( Its sad but we can only take over the middle east one country at a time! (sarcastic) haha :stoned:

Not confusing it with anything. just remarking how you wouldn't have heard that if we weren't over there..that sorta of thing never really got news coverage.
hey dude, i'm stoned as hell right now; but seriously, I never said you did blame terrorists at all :-) :thumbsup:
